I still have alot to le arn Its got far too many newfangled feature to suit me and I'll take my old typewriter with a few new features at least for now.
[Second start]
Dear Family:
We have talked to all of you on the phone recently, but perhaps in writing a letter it will bring some mail in our mail box. You know it is always nice to get mail besides bills.
Going back a COUPLE SundaYS AGO (I hit the cap key by mistake) they presented Gene Williams with a plaque showing all those who made the Eagle rank, including John, who tells us that he is going on the missionary program this June. Perhaps he and MV can get together for his departure from NYC and her week at Princeton . . . summer music school.
The BIG NEWS this week is that Serena is going to take medication as a result of her operation for the problem of Hyperplasia, which is an overgrowth of an organ or tissue from an increase in the number of its cells which are, however, in normal arrangement. (yes, this is a quote from our Medical Guide). We are certainly glad that she was able to return to the job quickly.
We did make a visit to the new WalMart store in Wilmington . . the place was crowded. None of the other stores in this new Mall are yet opened, one of which will be a yogurt place. They have planted a large number of shade trees in the parking area.
New Vienna's new Nazarene Church had their dedication this past Sunday. Phyllis told me that she went and they had a full house. They expressed an interest in our UMC old mimeo . . . hopefully they can reach people that we don't.
Next Tuesday is another family milestone as MV turns a "young" 25.
Notes to John, one in margin not shown above:
Glad to finally talk with you. You are very hard to reach. Ed Johnson's walk is this weekend and Evie is so excited for him. We're starting a sharing group – Evie, Ann Bailey & I so glad to be in a sharing group.
Good Luck in reaching M.V., she is like you – on the go
