We Hope Your Holiday Season
Has Been Wonderful
And
Your New Year Will Be
Safe And Happy

Hello;

2010 was a good year for us. Everyone was healthy, for the most part. Evelyn and Zach got to spend time in Asheville with Anna and James as well as spending a week in California with Ginny and Joe (with a two day side trip to Seattle to visit Jim and Ruthann). We had a great time this summer with the Cox Family at the beach and this fall with the Wilkins Cousins in Beaufort.

Anna is enrolled in a program at UNC-A that will launch her toward her next degree program in the Romance Languages. James is now being funded by his graduate program in Appalachian Studies.

Ginny and Joe are doing great. Ginny still enjoys her position in the Office of the President of UC Berkeley and Joe is enjoying his position with his company, NextBio.

Robert is home now and does a lot to keep everything running when Evelyn and Zach are not here (and when they are).

Zach was in São Paulo, Brazil for the first two weeks of December for his company. Zach really enjoys his vacation time now and is looking forward to switching to a semi-retired situation in a couple of years, still may work on special projects and consulting but not full time.

Evelyn continues her involvement in all forms of the fiber-arts. She also continues her volunteering with Red Cross with her current emphasis being in First Aid and helping with the Blood Group. Additionally Evelyn continues to travel to our house in Morehead City as much as possible and still works at the Sew-It-Seams Quilt Shop there when she can.
