April ??, 2025
He did really well through the stints and bypasses (surgeries). Then afterwards he kept the flow of blood from flowing. I miss him. Thanks for asking about him. He was cremated and we plan on a small service in Electra. His brother is with the same illness so it has not been scheduled. Will let you know. Leslie Warner.
Announcements
Jerry Bridges (aka Foot) experienced a bad fire on Monday, July 28th that has forced him to move out of his apartment. He and his neighbors are OK, but the level of damage has not been determined totally.
Please note the new Department of Motor Vehicles (Driver’s License office) has moved to the north side of George Bush Tollway at North Star Rd. The former location at Saturn and Northwest Hwy is closed.

Alight has a benefits “Gateway” website that will be used for benefits administration. If you haven’t created an account yet go to www.alight.com to do so. Scroll all the way down to the bottom. Click on “Find Your HR Website” and type in RAYTHEON under “Who is your employer?”. This will pop up a link to www.yourtotalrewards.com/rtx and select “New user?”. The “New user?” selection links to a couple of identifying questions and then steps you through the account setup. It recognized me and I was able to set up my account so I could create my profile and preferences. They had my old employee email address in my profile and I had to call Alight to get that corrected (800-243-8135). Be sure to check your beneficiary information. This was blank for me so I corrected that. Also, if you are married, your personal information probably transferred over as single. This would cause any medical reimbursement claims for your spouse to be denied. Call the benefits people so they can correct it.
Alight will manage the medical reimbursement and we will be able to check our DDB balance, submit claims, authorize direct deposit, etc. online.
If you need help setting up your Alight account, reimbursement claims, Direct deposit, etc. please email me at emmawahlstrom@aol.com. Terry Gaus has offered to help the retirees who may have questions. I can also help navigate the swamp if you need assistance.
Eileen continues to collect eye glasses for donation to the Lion’s Club. Thank you all who have donated.
Our next luncheon will be August 27th. Tell your fellow retirees! Bring a guest!
