After I left Cuba, I went to the University of Illinois. I think it's common knowledge in Cuba that I married Lynn Ann (James) in 1971. We have been in Charleston, Illinois since then. I was employed by IBM until 1993. I am retired from Lakeland College, a community college in Mattoon, Illinois, about 10 miles from Charleston. We built a small ranch south of Cuba. I still fly airplanes, play with computers, build motorcycles, cars, and airplanes.

Dear Janie, We'll keep this fairly short so as not to hog the board space. I'm glad you like programming; my son is programming in C++ and will major in that in the fall when he starts college. I don't know much about it but may have to learn when he finally leaves home.

I'm glad for this opportunity to keep in touch with the home bunch. Bruce and I are in Cape Girardeau, MO, where he is a professor of Economics at Southeast Mo. State U., and I teach deaf children for the local school district, including ages preschool through high school. Part of my job is also to teach sign language to the classmates of my deaf students. This fall we are sending a class of sixth graders to the junior high who communicate very effectively among themselves in sign and should be a challenge to the teaching staff, none of whom sign. It should be interesting. Bruce and I play in handbell choir--hope you enjoy yours as much as we do ours. Daughter Rebecca graduated with a double major in Biology and Secondary Ed. last May and was hired to teach in Sikeston, where she did her student teaching. Son Eric graduated in May from high school and will begin a major in computer science here next month, with philosophy and photography as possible minor choices. My best recent experience of the last few years was a week alone camping In Yellowstone while Eric helped with a wolf/coyote study elsewhere in the park. I missed the family but found the time alone very renewing, especially in such a fascinating setting. Only had bears in camp twice.

We just wanted to say hello. We really enjoy the Church page-it looks great and we hope it will continue. Life is hectic in Georgia, too. Summer vacation is anything but slow. Our daughter Andea is coaching and attending various basketball and volleyball camps all summer from one end of the Southeast to the other. Glad to see our Cuba Church Family doing so well. Mark, Sue, Andrea Clayberg
