About Me
God has blessd my life with 3 awesome kids. Averil was in F-VII. She is 29 and married. She's a glory to God and me, too!
Today; loving life...it's so full. Enjoying basking in God's love and grace.
Life has been a journey, many life challenges along the way...I moved to New Bremen, Oh in '89 when Paul Cooper (VII Corp) and I married. I had lived many places and ended up back in CA. We had a beautiful daughter, and he fathered my two kids as his own. We moved to the westside of Cleveland in '95, Love it here!
Paul passed away unexpectedly 5 years ago. We miss him so much. He was very respected for his wisdom and was a big teddy bear.
I'm remarried to great guy.
I always thought a year book was missing in our past, this is a great way to catch up!

Hi Joanne,
I have Way Corps Retemories.
Sarah (Brisbane, Australia)
i saw you tried to contact jim harden, i talked to him last weekend , we keep in semi regular contact and see each other on occasion. he came to my wedding i went to his daughters wedding. Do you ever have any contact with bo ? if so where is he living and what is he doing. post some pics of your kids or email some to me if that is easier. dvarun1@hotmail.com
thanks for keeping in touch dan
This is so great to be able to touch in with old friends. I will think of you as I watch Grey's! It's been strange, I don't remember a lot of specifics about Corps time (except LEAD, Christmas and some of the routines) but I have to remember with 2 kids and trying to keep up with everything, it's mostly the people I hold dear to my heart. This site has been healing to me to just be able to touch in know that others are okay and it validates that it all DID happen. I'm loving being a grandmother, my 15 year relationship with JIm and my career as counselor. The Way prepared me for much of my present activities and I still love God and SIT through the day. Thankful. Good to know you are still growing and loving God. Robin
Thank you for your response to my site about my family and Ray.
I do of course remember you but who knows the last time we may have
seen each other. We left The Way in '87 I think but the word was always
in our lives. I remember Bo and you in Family 7 but I did not know about
Paul Cooper. I am sure Ray knew him. Was he from NY too? I am sorry that you lost him; we have a lot in common. Your interests sound good to me and I know you are lots of fun. You cut my hair for me in the Corps.
Take care and I am glad you remarried and are doing well. Jeannie
Love you Bunches,
Mary
Im glad you're doing well and would love to hear from you anytime. Love, Randy
