So, just who are we? Well, let me tell you a little bit about our family.
The children slowly grew up. Steve and Lori spent their summers fishing in a local pond. The children organized kickball tournaments with the neighborhood children on their quiet little street.
In the seventies, Elmer and Jean were divorced. Elmer moved to the northern part of the state, and shortly afterwards Lori and then later, Elizabeth, joined him. Jean then married Chuck and together they had another child -- Christopher!
After Lori was divorced, she moved back to the central part of the state to be closer to the rest of the family. Elizabeth and her husband also moved back home so that she could attend the local university.
We lost Chuck to cancer a few years ago. We all still miss him very much.
So, what's everyone doing these days? Well, here's the latest scoop.
Elmer is retired and lives in the northern part of the state with his wife, Mary. We try to keep in touch with Elmer as much as possible, via email. He keeps our webmaster, Lori, on her toes these days, making sure she takes pictures at each family outing so that he can enjoy them at home.
Jean spends her time going back and forth between her home and the beach house. She is retired and volunteers for several charitable organizations.
Elaine is an elementary school teacher, teaching the fifth grade. She lives in a lovely home which she shares with her two cats, Grey and Callie.
Lori is our webmaster. She works for a large software company
and also runs a shelter for homeless dogs.
You can see some of the available dogs for
adoption at
her website.
She and the dogs just finished building a house out in the country.
There are pictures of the property on the Songbird Trail page of this
website.
Elizabeth is married to Bill. They have two children, Ashlynn and Haley. Elizabeth is a fourth grade elementary teacher and Bill works as a courier. They live in a nice home which they share with several cats, guinea pigs, and a little shihtzu named Elmo.
Steven is married to Nicole. Steven is the general manager of a local radio station. Nicole was working as a dental assistant until she gave birth to their first child, Lauren. They live in a very pretty house on the east side of town which they share with two cats.
Christopher is married to Ryanne. Christopher and Ryanne both work in the advertising industry and they share an older home in Winter Park with a schnauzer named Bentley and a kitty that was rescued off the highway.
