Cooking at WV with Chuy and Jan!
 While in India, this was one of my favorite dishes. It is a common dish,
 quick, easy to make and very nutritious. Serve with Naan, an Indian flat
 bread which you can find ready made in the grocery store, or you can
 substitute with flour tortillas. Lentils can be found in the grocery store
 in the dried beans aisle.

 Indian Dahl (Vegetarian Lentil Stew)
 Ingredients: Proceedure:
 1 tablespoon sesame oil In a 3-quart or medium-sized pot, heat the oil over medium
 1 cup white onion (finely chopped) heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook,
 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped) stirring often, until the onions are translucent, about 6 minutes.
 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (finely chopped)
 4 cups water (or vegetable broth) • Stirring constantly, add the water or broth, lentils, spices, and
 1 cup dried red or yellow lentils (rinsed and picked over) salt. Bring to a low boil, then turn down the heat to low, cover

VIETNAM WAR MEMORIES
 COLONEL RICHARD BOIVIN
 In 1954, Richard Boivin joined the U.S. Air Force, not yet aware that his years of service
 would take him across the globe in several capacities. He was stationed numerous
 locations stateside, and also in Germany, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Philippines, and Korea.
 Richard started out as a Communications Electronics Officer at the first automated Air
 Defense Operations Center in Germany during the Berlin wall and Cuban crisis.
 He supervised operations and maintenance at Vandenberg Satellite Support Station
 during early spy satellite operations. He also worked as a navigator on C-130’s in
 Southeast Asia, performed flight test engineering at Edwards AFB flight test center, and
 was Director of the USAF Central Inertial Guidance Test Center in New Mexico. He was
 also the program manager for USAF/ROKAF, developing a hardened tactical air control
 center in Korea during the time the Korean President was assassinated. He was Director
 of Avionics division of Air Force Avionics Lab for research. Richard was promoted to
 Colonel during his service, and also received a BS and MS in Electrical Engineering. He
 retired from his military career in 1982.
 Richard has lived at WV since 1992, when he moved here from Anaheim, California. The
 most rewarding aspect of his military service was the integrity of the people He served
Richard Boivin with and the responsibilities he was given. It was challenging for him to see his wife and
 children have to adjust to all the moves and different conditions they went through.
 Richard is proud of his Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross with two oak leaf
 clusters, Air Medal with 4 oak leaf clusters, Meritorious Service Medal with one oak leaf
 cluster, and the Vietnam Service Medal with three stars.
 We honor and thank you for your service to our country, Colonel Richard Boivin!

Hummingbird, Hummingbird,
 Don’t Fly Away! By Patsy Inskip
 – Every day holds the possibility of a miracle

 As I was leaving the 2nd Sunday Marketplace at the Lakes
 in April, I saw a hummingbird in the street. I stopped and got
 out of the golf cart and went over to the hummingbird. I put my
 hand out and the bird got onto my hand. It looked like it had
 been stunned or injured.
 I walked back to the golf cart and held the hummingbird in my
 hand for about 20 minutes. Several people saw me pick up the bird
 and came over to see it. I was so thrilled that this little bird let me
 hold him. It felt like a once in a lifetime experience. Eventually,
 the bird flew to a nearby yucca plant. I went over to the bird
 again and held out my hand. He hopped on my hand once again,
 then he flew to a higher branch.
 My late friend, Shirley Theander, stopped and told me that
 the hummingbird was a gift from God.
 Top: The little beauty stayed on my hand to recover. Middle: Resting so that he could fly again.
 Bottom: He flew to a yucca plant and perched there.
