Jeff and I continue to pray for your total healing. Thanks for the update...please let us know if there's anything more specific to pray for.

"Hi Sarah, I hope you do start a blog and I wish your comments to me were displayed thereon. Language of God...fabulous! Why don't people read it? These are some of my speculations...People are very busy these days. Many have never heard of such a…"
"I see you read the language of God....Wow!!! My daughter is a biochemist and turned me on to it when it came out. Many Christians will have nothing to do with it nor will non-christians. Looks like a few of us have been ..."
"I am not among those people who may be so puzzled. These folks you speak for, who seem to be puzzled by certain persons, would be more equipped to address your concerns than me. IMO Herodotus, Eusebius and Josephus, amoung others, provide even more…"
"I don't know if I underestimate myself or if I don't. What I do know is that I am flawed in a way that continues to seem to be unfixable. I have learned the hard way that once I begin boasting in myself I start moving right own the ladder. So, I'll…"
"I have never known MS to be in any way unactively/impassionately about anything, as that seems to be part of your unique self, to me anyway. What I am wondering is this: Do you believe in God or not? Either way is fine by me and I trust you can give…"
"Thank you Kevin and I will pass this along to my kids. Neither have been wounded and having your own kids over there is trying. Much better for me because I didn't hate the former administration. It was/is much more difficult for those parents who…"
"Not only is it a diversion tactic, since anyone can be accused/excused of being a racist at any time for anything they may say or do, it is virtually indefinable, and so for me, dropping the race card is racism. You can't play a card you don't have…"

Thanks for the invite! Our schedule hinges on what the weather is like in Canada--judging by the weather in Missoula which is unseasonably cold, one can only hope for a warming trend! We'll keep you posted on our progress and let you know. Really looking forward to seeing you. My email address is stanley@reahard.org. Phone is 813-545-4389 but we probably won't have service once we cross into Canada. Had a fun evening with Steve Sann and his son, Nathan last night. Love that guy. Talk soon,
Hi you two--we're in Montana, visiting our daughter, Susan and having dinner with Steve Sann tonight. Saw your photo and info. and realized we'll be passing pretty close to you in the Seattle area in a week or so on our way back down the coast from Canada. (we're in the motor coach so we never know exactly when we're going to be anywhere but we should be down that way by the 12th--it all depends on how the weather is holding up in the Rockies--if it's miserable, maybe sooner!)
Let us know if you'd like to get together and we'll make it happen. We'd love to see you.
Just saying 'Hi' guys! Really warmed to see you on here. Last I remember, we were all in transition.... When you drive back east a lil' bit, come have fun with us in Montana!
Debbie,
You were my first branch (?) coordinator, in Chicago, when I took the foundational class. It's great to see your pic and hear about what you are doing.

Hi Jeff,
It was great to hear from you....I will tell Moira you said hello. She'll be happy to hear you guys are doing so well. I can't believe Jeffrey is in Iraq. Where has the time gone....I so admire these men that go over there.....Wow....We just had a close friend return from there a few months ago. He's in the Army out here, special forces, John McCave's son (from NY). He was recently accepted into Green Beret school. That just amazes me that these guys do these things...He's a great guy and we'll miss him when he leaves here. I know you guys must miss Jeffery. We'll keep him in our prayers....
Well, I hope you didn't forget some of the laughs we had way back in the VA days because you really had us going!!! And those are some treasured moments!!!
I just spent an hour+ on the phone with Betty yesterday. She has a great picture of her and Judy VanSteenkist (another of my WOWs) that was just recently taken in Atlanta. We are planning to get together for a little reunion soon, which I'm sure will be a total blast. Do you and Jeff ever hear from any of the other WOWs that were out with us that year? Are you still singing?
Hi Jeff and Debbie!! Hey I just saw your page while scrolling around here and was so blessed to see your photo's and to read about you guys. I can't believe your kids are all grown up!!! I guess that's what happens.....
I still remember Moira and I babysitting for David and Jeffrey one afternoon during Corps week 20 some years ago!! Has it been that long? My goodness. Well you two have not changed a bit. You both look awesome!! I still remember the days in VA and how much fun we had moving the Word there. You guys were great. Those were by far some of the greatest years of my life. Moira and I are still the best of friends and talk almost daily. We often reminisce of the times together with you guys when we were in Norfolk. Sometimes we just can't stop laughing when we do.....
Take care & God Bless you.
Love,
Lisa
i'm glad to hear you have some fond memories of those days. i have real mixed feelings about them—except about the folks in yakima, who were generally pretty terrific. playing was (and still is) always fun—we had a damn good band that one year. and i remember quite clearly your wife singing "let's hear it for the boy" with the band! (especially since she did such a great job--i remember worrying she might suck and we'd be stuck because she was the bossman's wife.)
i keep telling my son that we'll have to get back to WA one of these days, so he can see where he was born. if we ever do, i'll make sure we come harass you.
please tell debbie i said hi. take care of yourselves.
