Greetings

First off, thanks to Betsy for setting this thing up. I'd heard about the Facebook site, but I thought you had to be under 30 to know what words like "Facebook" and "Myspace" meant, so I've stayed away from those places.


The Weld family update is pretty simple. Still living in Blytheville, Arkansas, in the northeast corner of Arkansas, about an hour north of Memphis on Interstate 55. If anyone's ever traveling south toward Memphis or New Orleans, chances are, you'll pass right through town, so give me a call ... we'll do lunch.

My oldest child, Katie, is 8. She in third grade and wants to be Hannah Montana.

My son, Drew, is 5, and just started kindergarten this year.

From the pictures, you can see that we traveled to Disney World this year. We're at Animal Kingdom in the bottom photo. Note the shirt.

Hello all,
great to see all these adorable kids. Here is a picture of my two little girls, Grace (2) and Sophie (7 months). I retired from practicing law to be a stay-at-home mom and live just north of Chicago.

In case you didn't see this on the "facebook" site....

Hey Everyone -

I just wanted to send out a "SAVE THE DATE" note to everyone for the next Alumni Staff Reunion. Camp has been reserved for the weekend of September 26-28, 2008. It will begin on Friday evening and go through Sunday afternoon. I will be sending out registration forms in late spring sometime.

I am trying to get the word out early so as to reach people whose addresses (home and email)have changed and try to contact others I haven't heard from. So, if you can forward this on to as many people possible - this would be a great help.

This reunion will be open to ALL alumni staff who have EVER worked at camp. At previous reunions, limits were set as to ensure there were enough beds. Well, this time the "Big Field" is going to be open for camping so we can sleep everyone. YEAH! This should make for any even more exciting reunion!

I hope you all can make it and PLEASE pass this on so we can reach as many as possible!


Enjoy your fall!

First of all... very cool, Besty... great idea to keep us all connected.
Glad to hear that you're doing well.

I'll show off too. Here is Willem (3 years old) and Addison (here a few hours, now about six weeks). He's a wonderful big brother, she's a pretty easy-going baby, and Tia is doing great.



We left Miami about a year ago for Milton, FL (just outside of Pensacola, on the Florida Panhandle-- no kidding locally known as "Florabama") where I've been in Flight School. We just found out that we'll be transferring to Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina upon completion of Navy flight training, which should be sometime next spring.

Henry

I'll show off too. Here's Henry. He'll be 3 around Thanksgiving. He's expecting a little brother or sister some time around Christmas. In this photo he's making apple pies. Does anyone else have news to share? A new pet? A new partner? A new house? An old house? I guess there's a facebook site out there too, which I didn't know about before. If you want to join that write a comment here and someone can "invite" you. Me, I'm new to the whole facebook thing (can someone explain the "poking" to me?). But it's nice to know that others want to keep in touch too! Come on...show off your photos! Share some stories! Pretty soon I'm going to have to resort to digging up and scanning old camp photos and that could get embarrassing for some of you!
