Welcome to our blog!


Dear friends,

Thank you for taking the time to visit us. We are on Home Ministry Assignment from HCJB Global until May 2008. We are living in St. Joseph Michigan where Dick is working at Southwestern Medical Clinic. Our son Tom graduated this Spring with a masters from University of Michigan and is living with us as he looks for a job in biomedical engineering. Dan, a fourth year medical student at the University of Miami, is in Tacoma Washington doing a gastrointerology externship at Madigan Army Medical Center this month.

We have traveled to Ohio often this summer to visit family. Dick's Mom, Nada Douce has been in the hospital several times with infections and now is in a nursing home.

Marian has been repainting the inside of the house...one more room to go!

We'd love to have a chance to share with you about these past four years in Ecuador. You can contact us here.

Yours,
Dick and Marian

Hello Dick and Marian! Its great to have you both connected again and hear those great news!

Blogging has been great for sharing news, but it requires a great effort and discipline to maintain (but since you both are used to these terms...). If you want to reach further into social networks (based on neuronal networking) you can have a look around Facebook.com. This is the future on permanent, active communications via the web.

Please, this comment is in no way a discouraging one, but, on the contrary, a motivation to bless us all with permanent news from you!

Dick and Marian, this is my first blog! So happy to hear from you, I am sorry I missed you this summer when you were at Joanne's. I have started to collect info on my family genealogy and it is very slim, my family was not good at keeping any records. You are so fortunate to have so much information about your families. Hope this finds you well, you are all in our prayers.

Hi Christian and Silvia, So good to hear from you! Thank you for your encouraging words about the blog. Hmmm...is Camino ready to be on a site? What do YOU think would be the best web platform for it?
