UpDate (2001)

I missed the last class reunion due to illness and hospital stay. Since then I have closed my Ceramic Studio and retired so most of my extra time is spent enjoying my grandchildren and attending things they do. Oldest granddaughter is a student at SAU, a music major. The youngest granddaughter is in junior high and a good basketball player. This past year I have recorded all of our family history records and made photo books for my two children and four grandchildren. I am still collecting information for these books. I still live five miles south of Stamps on the farm. Both of my children live next door.
