It has been great reading all the names from '85. It sure would be great to have a reunion! It has been far too long since we have seen our dear friends. We are living in South Carolina. Tiny was the Southerner that was dressed up like a mummy in the winter. We have been blessed w/ 5 children. We have 3 girls and 2 boys. Their ages are; 16,11,8,7 and 18 months. Like some other friends of from the BI, God decided to have us turn 40 and have a baby. We wouldn't have it any other way. Bill is a General Manager for a scissor/sharpening company and worship/youth leader at our Church. We both stay busy w/ everyday family life along w/ extra curricular activities. I praise the Lord daily for blessing me w/ such a Godly man for a husband and father!!! Life goes on... - Posted: October 19, 2007 by Rachel McKean (Mitchell) - 1998 , 1999 Hey all!

We are trying to find housing near Lancaster so I can go back to school at LBC, and finish off my degree. Does anybody know of any cheap housing in the area? I'm going back to school with a wife, a 2-yr old and another one due in February. So money is definitely going to be tight. If anybody out there knows of anything let me know, please. Thank you Kara for the info you got me. God bless, and hope all is going well for you all. The Juice Saved My Arm - Posted: October 16, 2007 by Tim and Alicia (Gilbert) Kaufman - 1976 In 5/06, I fell from a roof and snapped my arm in half and shattered shoulder. Two surgeries and weeks of rehab, I could not lift arm and lived in pain. Took MonaVie for 7 days and WOW! My flexibility came back I'm pain free. We're excited because so many others are being helped with health issues and in another year, MV will fund our ministry, Lord willing. For info go to www.MyMonaVie.com/TimK. Am currently serving as interim worship leader at Northcliffe Baptist in Spring Hill, FL, near WOL Hudson campus. (see www.NBChurch.org). Am still HAPPILY married to Alicia and our 5 kids are growing in the Lord. To God be the glory.
