If you're ever in trouble in Yuma...

If you're ever in Yuma, you've got friends.
Meet Tony and Yvonne Brewer. Tony is Kathleen's nephew. He's a graduate of Cretin High in St. Paul. Then he spent four years in the Navy. Right now he's a deputy sheriff in Yuma, Arizona. He's been in law enforcement for the past 20 years, sometimes as a baliff, on the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) team and as a sheriff's deputy patrolling the vast open spaces of southern Arizona.
Yvonne is presently in nurses training as they raise their family, Evelyn and Andrew.
Tony had a birthday May 14. He's 48. That's his mother, Mary Lou Brewer, Kathleen's older sister, at right. Mary Lou lives with her husband, David, in Durango, Co. Tony's sister Heidi is the Durango hospital dietician.

Here's Tony's birthday note from Yuma:

Hi Aunt Kathleen and Stan,
Thank you very much for the beautiful card you both sent me. I was very surprised and was happy to have received it. How are things in MN? Everything here is fine, Yvonne is getting ready for another semester of school all the while trying to prepare Evelyn for Jr. High. Andy is doing great, he will not be starting Kinder for another year but he loves being home with mom.
Love to you both,
Tony
