Visited with seminary classmate Randy and his wife Bridget in Winchester, VA.  Randy is the General Manager for a club that serves 55+ residents of a planned community.

My sister Jan's best friend Karen - she lives in VA just outside of DC.  Her two grandsons Charlie and Joey - their mother is Tana, in the picture to the right.  They had a little birthday cake for me - angel food - my favorite.

This is my friend Kit, we worked together at Cabrini Hospice in NYC 35 years ago - I'm seeing her for the first time in more than 30 years ago - after chatting on the phone for the past 2 years.  A fellow nurse, living in VT and enjoying the great outdoors and even winter!

Edna, on the left, was a fellow missionary in Liberia.  She worked in a more remote village than I.  She retired from many years as a Nursing professor in CT and then spent 10 years serving the people of Liberia.  She set up a rural health program and then carried out the development of a Masters in Nursing Education program for the faculty of the nursing programs in Liberia.  During her time - 60 faculty qualified with the Masters in Nursing Education.   I was part of the initial design and development.

This was the first class of Masters prepared nursing faculty - Edna was an amazing mentor and teacher.
