Class Agent: Kathy Kummer Beagles

Hello Friends,

Since our last communication I have heard from Linda (Dodge) Sutton who spent the past year getting three families moved—hers, her daughter's, and her mother's. She doesn't consider the experience interesting, but as memorable and hard work. I've also heard from Ginger (Harvey) Kirk. But, for the life of me, my middle-aged mind can't locate where I put her communication! But, I do remember that she is happy in Virginia managing the mail room for a university dormitory.

Also, I have big news to share. My son, Jeb, got engaged in July to a lovely young lady whom he has known for 10 years. You will understand when I say they are truly meant for each other when I tell you that they are planning to bicycle from Maryland to Arizona for their honeymoon (or part thereof).

News also reached me of the very recent passing of David Gardner's mother and George Whitsett's mother-in-law (same person). The hearts of any of us who have lost parents or other loved ones recently bend a bit toward theirs.

Still, we get up and go on, one day after another. Here's what wakes some of us up in the mornings:

Sonja: Getting up in the morning is not difficult because there is so much I want to do, to learn, and to see! And, since I am not independently wealthy my boss expects me to come to work every week day or I won't get paid!!

Bill: My wife's dog. We are keeping her in the garage until I can get her dog house and pen finished (which I started over a year ago).

Cheryl: I do enjoy my work. I have a great school, a super principal, my classes are fun to teach. My husband is the best, my children and grandchildren, though not perfect, are my life. I love my home and where I live. My friends are near and dear. I hope to get up many more mornings.

Well, that's all the room we have. Tune in for morning moments next time. And in the meantime . . . write me about what you see happening in your life over the next ten years. (This time, use this e-mail address: beaglesk@verizon.net. Or snail mail, still 10267 Windstream Drive, Columbia, MD 21044).
