This letter finds me having just returned from Asia Pacific last week.

Thanks so much for your prayers while I wasContinue reading November 1, 2019

Greetings All Wow what a trip!, but “the eagle” did get landed and on schedule. Monday was an early start as Jeanne and I left the house at 4:30 a.m. to head for the airport in Kearney. All was on schedule. When I got to Denver it was time to eat breakfast and so IContinue reading End of September 2019

Dear ones, Summer has finally arrived! As we were working out in the yard on Saturday and shirts soaked with sweat we felt like we back in Asia Pacific!

Dear friends, Wow, I left for Asia Pacific during a cold March but have returned home to a beautiful Spring!

Hello! We thought that at the writing of this letter we might be welcoming spring back into our lives but it doesn’t appear that is happening.
