A Family Update

Remember your Creator in the days of your youth!

Hi ,

Once a year, I like to send you a brief update on our family, so here goes...

Carrie and I had another busy year, in spite of the slowness of everything returning to normal. I was actually able to present seminars in a number of places, and we participated in seven conventions of various types, and I had the privilege to speak in all of them but one.

We wrapped up another DVD project and have about 90% of another Ranger Mike DVD finished, with (hopefully) another four projects to do this coming year.

We're pictured here at Scout's Lookout in Zion National Park during our Southwest Safari. This year was the second largest group in thirteen years ~ 38 people!

Luke (our oldest) and Anastasiya live in Palmyra, PA, where Luke is co-owner of Baum's Tax Service. Anastasiya is a graphic designer who does freelance work. Last April, their first child, Mila, was born, so she's also a full-time mom and home-maker. Of our five grandchildren, Mila is the only girl so far!

John and Jessica live in Jonestown, PA. John is in the PA National Guard and drives a tractor-trailer for Ace Hardware. Jessica is an artist, but also a full-time mom and home-maker. She has also added teaching now that their oldest son, Trent, is school age. He just turned 7 years old. Max is 3, and Todd is 15 months.

Laura (our youngest) and Caleb live in a rural area of Lebanon County. Caleb works for Long's Excavating, and is also starting his own excavating business. Laura was able to leave her job working at Lebanon Valley Family Medicine earlier this year. In May, Henry was born, so Laura is also a full-time mom and home-maker.

We enjoy having them live nearby, and we get together fairly often. We're also delighted that they're all walking with the Lord and active in their churches!

We wish you all a very happy NEW YEAR!

In Christ,
