Diane and Ron say retirement is good! They just moved to Lexington OH which is about five miles south of where they previously lived.  Now closer to the kids they enjoy seeing them almost daily.  Diane & Ron's  "kids"  will be 42 and 40 this year. Their son has two children, Zachary who is fourteen and Elise, a redhead, who is ten.  Their daughter has eight year old twins boy and girl.

Geofrey is still slaving away in the investment business....profession.  As a Hiram College Trustee trying with limited success to stem the runaway growth rate of college costs.  Helen is still very active with their church at the national level.  They are putting the finishing touches on an addition so her parents may move in. Daughter Julie is back in Greece from a sojourn in Jerusalem. Clint and Kate are in Austin TX where his book publishing company is located and Kate's job as an attorney is headquartered.  They both take good care of their lab they fondly call "our granddogger." 4/09 Geof and Helen are pleased to announce that they were grandparents for the second time in December 08.  Big sister, Susie, now almost 2 years old, is holding Abby in the photo. Son Clint and his wife Kate continue to prosper with the Greenleaf Book Group in Austin, TX, while Mom and Dad continue to cope with the abysmal stock market, but friendly gold market, as they share time in both Greater Cleveland (Novelty in western Geauga County) and Boca Grande, FL where Geof also has an office with his tarpon on the wall that Helen won’t let him display at their condo.
