Wow, girl!!!!! That all is GREAT news! Now all three of you can continue in the healing process and enjoy some FUN times coming up! Way to go with school! I know what an incredible undertaking that was for both you and Di... congrats, congrats, congrats! I hope you are as proud of yourself as all your friends and family are.

I had a serious case of small world today and you came up in the conversation. I'm glad to see that you are doing well! It's been a very long time since we talked last...I would like to get back in touch with you.

It is always so uplifting to read your blog. Congratulations to you and Di on completing your MBAs. You both have wonderful sticktoitness (not sure if Webster recognizes that word or not :-)). We were so happy to hear of your father's progress. It is fantastic that he is home (without any added pieces)and continuing to recover. God truly does answer prayers.

The Patrol is starting our Crucial Conversations training around the state next week. Hopefully, people will come into the training with an open mind and willing to learn. There are about 15 trainers all ready to help make a difference in a positive way.

A brief update on Cory Winfield. He was able to get a disability retirement, however, since he only worked 5 years the amount is minimal. He and his wife, Lindsey, decided to move in with her parents in Port Clinton. This will help them to be able to save money, as well as give them other people in the house to help with Cory's rehabilitation. Cory is able to walk small distances and his goal is to be able to attend a wedding next year and dance with Lindsey. He has a good attitude and is positive about the small accomplishments he is making. They found a church in Port Clinton, that has become an important part of their lives. Please keep them in your prayers, as they still have a long road ahead.

Please keep us posted of what you are doing and what blessing are coming into your life. You remain an inspiration to us.

Peace be with you,
Butch and Brenda
