Family

Christmas 2007 in Minneapolis

Amy

She keeps the family fed, clothed, and organized. Not just a happy homemaker but a 30-year veteran of the airways as a flight attendant for Delta. Works as seldom as she can but needs an occasional break from life with Mark – and no one in the family will let her retire due to travel privileges! Has loved the 2006 move to the Nashville area and being close to parents and other family members.

All smiles with upcoming wedding date!

Lindsey

Holds an undergraduate degree from Northwestern and finished grad school at University of Illinois in Champaign. She is a research analyst for a small company called The Patent Board in downtown Chicago. She is soon to be wed to Tomasz Czaka who is project manager for ZS, a software development company in Evanston, Illinois.

He is somewhere between his junior and senior year (depending on which major) at DePaul University in Chicago. He is a true citizen of the world – lots of travel to Europe. Spent one year away from school in Hawaii. He has many interests but continues to think about a career in public policy, having done several governmental internships.

Caroline on a mission trip to Ecuador

Caroline

This sophomore at University of Tennessee is a big time reader and gifted writer so naturally she is thinking about majoring in ... Accounting. She is definitely versatile! We moved to Tennessee halfway through her junior year so she spent less than two years at Ravenwood High School – but this little nook of Brentwood feels like home to her.

Bo

About to start his last semester at Ravenwood High Shool, this two-sport star (football and track) has narrowed his list of schools down to Samford University (Birmingham) and the Air Force Academy. Grandparents and parents think it would be nice to drive two and a half hours down US-65 for football games and track meets.

Zachary

An eighth grader at Woodland Middle School, he is following in big brother’s footsteps with football and track – and has added basketball. He is about to become a high school student and only child. The latter should prove much more challenging as Mom and Dad adjust to the thought of an empty nest. He is recommending that we adopt to take the pressure off!
