  Dear Jim,

  If I recall correctly, your twins' prenatal journey began in Maliwada, prompting our colleagues to ask whether there was something in the water of India (for you) and Singapore (for us) that contributed to our families' respective "identical twin son blessings."

  When you and we returned to Kemper after the Consult and HDTS phases of our lives together, your twins and ours met for the first time.  At some point when Dhondi and Shanker were about 2 and just beginning to talk, Jon and Ben (then "big" EG kids 7 years older) approached them (as the story goes) and towering from a full 9 year old asked, "Who are you?"  To which one little tyke loudly proclaimed, "My name is Dhondiram Weeeegel!"  Jon and Ben thought that was wonderful and immediately reported it all to us.

  As it turned out, you and Judy asked us to be Dhondi's Godparents, and so over the years we have more or less kept in touch with his journey, especially his marriage to Lariate and the birth of Calvin -- and even more so recently with the times we have spend together here in Maine.

  Another note of praise I would sing for our godson, Dhondi, comes via Bill Grow -- who engaged Dhondi's expertise in technology consulting recently and raved to us about the quality and appropriateness of the services rendered.   

  I am sure twin bro' Shaker is just as special -- so consider all of the above affirmations duplicated!

  Jim and Judy, stand in thank for the good genes you have passed forward; relish pride in the strong example of service and family you have symbolized; hold fast to hope in the Mystery which alone promises eternal healing and resolution, but which is always leaves you with Mystery.

  Grace and peace,

  Joe and Marilyn

    "The twins", Shanker and Dhondiram Wiegel, turn 30 tomorrow.  Both married, Shanker lives in Aurora, CO with his wife, Lisa and 2 small daughters, Molly and Miranda; Dhondi lives in Peoria, AZ with his wife Lariate and small son, Calvin.

    If you have stories or greetings or wisdom to pass on, send them to me.  I will collect and present them.  30.  Hard for me to believe my children have grown.  But . . .

    Thanks, and thanks for all the care and attention and good will passed to them and our family over the years by this community around the world.

    Will tomorrow be here soon? ... of course it will. Not once has tomorrow not been here, but what about yesterday? Where is it now? It will be gone to us . . . like today will be long gone ... When tomorrow comes around. -- Dodge Chatto 1975
