[Oe List ...] Jay Zahrt's Completed Life

[Marilie Blanchard]

Thanks....David and Lim sent it to me....I have sent them a note.

How are you....is Gordon fully retired?  I say this because I am still
experiencing requests.  As you may know I have double knee replacement
surgery in November and am finally recovering.  Ready to begin my travels
again.

I'll be in Seattle March 1-7 with full days of work with the Synod of Alaska
Northwest on the 2nd and 4th.  However, is there any possibility that you
might be around and free seomtime that weekend so we can get together for
dinner or something....???

Hope you are all well.  Rob and YihLing are expecting their first child
anytime so I'm on call for Atlanta....a baby girl.

More later...   Marilie
