It’s Christmas Time
I traveled to Joplin MO, on a mission trip in November, like many things you can read about it on my web site. www.elmwoodil.org (Including this letter) I recently added a remembrance on Twomey Company, Smithshire, and the passing of an age. Twomey Co -- End of an Era -- Individuals in Business
Aunt Lynne Jensen made a graduation quilt for Alex
Erik and Alex are living in Roseville. They are busy with school and enjoying being on their own. Erik teaches English at West Central High School. (West Central is west of Biggsville (Union) now consolidated with Stronghurst (Southern)) Alex graduated from Knox in June; he is a teacher associate and assistant football coach. They live with another teacher AJ Brasell,, who teaches biology and is a coach. They have little free time especially during football. Alex and AJ both coaches, Erik filming and writing up games. Erik demands papers from his students and then has to grade their writing. Alex and AJ have been getting up at 5 AM to get to school and work out before classes. Alex had gained weight after his last football season and now is trimming down. He looks powerful, and he is. AJ is a body builder type slim with guns, very conscious of what he eats. Erik has been cooking, so AJ has expanded from last year when he lived by himself. Grilled chicken and peanut butter were his staples, I am told. They enjoy Roseville: the bowling alley, the little grocery store, Country Bob Sauce, and amazing AJ with small town colloquialisms.
