About Me
After graduating the 6th Corps in 1978 I was assigned to HQ where I also had been on my interim year. In 1980 I met my husband, Christoph, who came to HQ as an international summer school student. After lots of letter writing (those were the days of the slow mail before e-mail became popular) and a visit to Germany we decided that I should move to Germany. In July 1981 I moved to Munich and the following March we got married.
In August 1983 our first son, Michael, was born (currently studying Architecture in Düsseldorf) then in July 1985 our second son, Andreas (currently studying Logistics in Berlin).
In September 1985 we moved to Gartmore House in Scotland to work with the 1st European Corps. My husband,was the Work Coordinator (professionally he is an architect) and I did various jobs but mainly I was mom.
Our third child, Ruth-Anne (finally a girl!) was born in April 1988 (currently studying Media and Communications in Düsseldorf).
We moved back to Germany in June 1989. We have been living in Dortmund, Germany since that time

so often and wondered where and how you and your family are. We are in Boise, Idaho and have been since 1991. We have three daughters. The older two are married and the youngest is working in Boise. I would love to keep in contact with you. Please email me at mlatshaw@q.com
Love and blessings, Megan
Well to answer your post, Dixie and I are doing fine!
Rick is living in Washington and Randy is retiring from the Navy this coming Labor Day in Washington!
Our oldest daughter is working in Akron and our youngest is married and working in Baltimore.
We now live in Elyria Ohio and are very thankful to be with the believers here.
So good to hear that you and Christoph are well.
The next time you post I'll get back sooner!
God bless;
Jesse

Thanks so much for your gracious comments regarding my book which you ordered. I was also delighted to be reminded that you had given me the Black Heritage Bible, which I still have. Many of my books are in storage. Brenda and I have downsized, moving from a house to condominium a few years ago. I cherish that particular Bible since I am a professor of African American literature, and my focus has been and continues to be the Bible and its use by Black writers. I have published a number of articles in African American literature where I examine the works of certain writers of color and how they use the Scriptures in their works. In fact, I received an email from a graduate student in Bagdad, and she had come across an article I had published in 1991 discussing Countee Cullen, one of the noted poets of the Harlem Renaissance, and his use of the Bible. She is writing her dissertation on a number of African American writers, one of whom is Cullen. You can imagine how blessed I was to receive her email and request for my comments regarding her work, just as I was thrilled to receive your comments regarding my book and the reminder about the Bible you had given me.
By the way, yours was the 100th comment I received on my Way Corps website. I wish I had a prize to give, but I don't right now. I'll think of some way to express my gratitude to you for your kindness.
It has been such a blessing to reconnect.
Let's keep in touch. By the way, I have a nephew who works for General Motors in Germany, in Munich I believe, but I'm not sure. In fact, my sister is visiting him at this time. I would love to get over to visit him, and perhaps visit with you and your family as well. Let's see what the new year holds as it unfolds in beauty like a lovely rose. Says the poet (C'est moi):
The budding rose never stays the same
But unfolds in lovelier ways.
On that note I'll close for now.
God bless,
Lonnell

Beth and I send our greetings of grace and peace to you.
You are blessed and a blessing Roberta, always have been.
So great to hear of you and Christoph and your family.
If God be for us, who can be against us?
Love from the Rix's, in Christ,

Yes, indeed, I have published some of my poetry. In 2005 I established my own publishing company, Ambassador Press, among my first projects was publishing a collection of my own poetry STONE UPON STONE: PSALMS OF REMEMBRANCE. "Good News Day" is one of the poems in section called "In the Vernacular." You can order it through Barnes and Noble or Amazon.com or any bookstore for that matter (even in Europe, I would think).
Thanks for the kind words, Roberta. It has been such a joy to reconnect so many wonderful people who have come in and out of my life all along The Way.
Be blessed, for it sounds like you are indeed.
Always,
Lonnell
Your husband might know Dorothy as Dorothy Setian. She was actually singing in the Opera House in Detmold. How she became a Christian while in Germany is quite a testimony. Dorothy grew up in Garden City, New York and worked in Manhattan for years.
Detmold has a very special place in her heart.
God bless,
Nolan
I wanted to say hi! It has been such a long time since Emporia Kansas. I am always amazed at how our lives in the Way Corps led to so many varied adventures. Reading about the lives of other Corps grads is inspiring. My wife Dorothy (Family 7) went to her first Bible fellowship in Gemany and was born-again there. She was singing at the opera house in Detmold. Dorothy and I met at headquarters and married in 1983. We have two sons 19 and 22 who are attending university.
