June
began with a Farewell Celebration for Paul (and the other Youth Ministry
Intern) at St. Paul's, Cleveland Heights. Over 100 people attended
the picnic in the late afternoon (including Bob and Penney). Some
of the pictures are shown below. Paul took his two weeks' vacation
again this year to accompany St. Paul's college and high-school young
people on a mission trip to Harlan, Kentucky, where they participated
in a "Habitat"-like program building homes and other buildings
in that beautiful but impoverished county.

People
of all ages attended, a tribute to Paul's wide appeal!

Churchwomen President
and an old friend of Bob's.

But
the majority of attendees were young people from Paul's work with
Confirmation Class and Youth Group. They presented him with a "scrapbook
of remembrance."

 Meanwhile,
Andrew (with help from Emily) was hard at work on a website which
is part of a project he is completing for his Master's degree program
at Vandercook University in Chicago. The degree will be awarded July
26, with the family in attendance.
The
project is a series of links for middle-
and high-school band
students; it's organized by level and instrument and also includes
a section for directors. To reach it, click here.
A screen shot of the opening page is shown to the left.
Emily
did the graphics for the site (they're great!) and Bob helped a little
with proofreading. Once the content is approved by Andrew's adviser,
the site will "go public;" Andrew is hoping that perhaps
this can eventually become a business venture. It's certainly a valuable
resource, and even nonmusical Bob is fascinated by the content.

Before
coming to Paul's Farewell Celebration, we went to Post Clinton, where
we found (again!) too much wind for sailing, but a nice sunny place
to work on the Sunday Crossword puzzle.
|
Andrew
and Bob started the first major renovation project with the deconstruction
of the closets in the boys' former rooms. Details: click here.

Construction
is almost as much fun as deconstruction! Here's the completed framing
for the dormitory-to-study project!
