Dear Family:
So nice to hear from all of you this week. This year has been zooming, what with the Holy Land trip, New York City and the Walk to Emmaus experience. The walk was most unique and rewarding berty [very? really?] touching . . . it's not often that my eyes get moist. We could go on at great lengths about the "walk," but we don't want to spoil it for any of you who may eventually be going on it.
Just the fact that one is out of circulation of the world for three days adds dimension. The dedication of the leaders (several are personal friends of ours in the Wilmington area) went beyond one's normal expectations.
We are all enjoying the electric garage door opener . . . thanks to your generosity. The 2nd opener is here, just waiting for spring to become a reality so it will be more pleasant to put up.
A few things are beginning to sprout thru the ground . . a few of the trees still are holding some leaves from the 1987 season. We look forward to finding out if the things we transplanted last fall will green up this Spring.
Nothing definite on our trip to Florida, for on our Delta Sr. Citizen tickets we can only make reservations six days ahead, so will start making calls on March 3rd for the following Wednesday.
Business has been good at Wells . . . interviewing job applicants is the easy part, deciding on who to hire is when one tries to separate the true person from the one projected. One's heart goes out to all the people that turn up looking for work.
As usual Dad has written about everything. It is nice to have Mary Virginia home this weekend. She and John Z. (or A.J.) have gone to dinner in Dayton with another couple. We are happy that she has decided to continue her studies at Asbury for another year in order to get her master's degree. At Christmas she had said she wouldn't be going back next fall. Her wedding plans seem to be on hold. Hope that she didn't think we were trying to discourage her too much for we did have mixed feelings. It will be good for her to get a degree whether she makes use of it or not.
They burned the house down across the st (where Davis's used to live).
John U. came & surprised MV after visiting Colliers, overnite & church . . . .
[Love, etc.]
