The respective families continue hale and hearty. Roberta's grandmother, Mrs. Gladys Uible, continues to take an active interest in life and alternates between her home in Ohio and Florida. As noted above, she will be spending a month in Arizona later in the year.
Roberta's mother, Jean Uible, this year retired from her position as librarian at the elementary school in New Vienna, Ohio. In June, Jean, with her granddaughter, Wendy, attended an Elderhostel in the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee.
A month earlier, Harold, Roberta's father, had spent an impressive five weeks riding a bicycle across the U.S.A. -- from San Diego, CA to Jacksonville, FL - WOW! He and Jean continue to travel, including a trip to Hawaii this last summer for a meeting of the American Bar Association.
Roberta's oldest sister, Catherine, remains as Director of the Children's Section of the Glendale, AZ, Public Library. Catherine's husband, Gerry, helps out the RV world as Parts Manager at a RV dealer and daughter, Wendy, is well on her way to becoming a teenager. Wendy's interest encompass such items as rock music, clothes, food, and walking with her favorite Arizona aunt, Roberta, not necessarily in that order.
Next younger sister, Serena, is the Public Service Librarian at the Alpha Park Public Library in Illinois near Peoria. During the past year, she has traveled extensively throughout the U.S., partially for pleasure; partially to attend library conferences.
Brother John counsels those with money at the Trust Department of Park National Bank in Newark, Ohio. This last summer he made an extended trip with International Teams to the Eastern Bloc countries of Europe, distributing Bibles and Christian material.
Youngest sister, Mary Virginia, will shortly obtain her Master's Degree in Church Music at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. The entire Uible family recently attended her Master's recital at Asbury and all proclaimed that Mary Virginia was in fine voice. She surprised the family with an announcement of her forthcoming marriage to Don Clowson [sic], also a student at Asbury, in August, 1990.
Although not part of the immediate family, Roberta's cousin, Joe Horton of Santa Fe, a well-known and accomplished artist, is staying in the King trailer in Tucson, at the time of this writing. He expects to complete over 20 paintings of the area during his stay which he will offer for sale at a gallery in Santa Fe.
