This has been an amazing week for these two future missionaries. It started out with us flying to Elkhart, IN, where the Sr Management gave a first class send-off for Jim and his 27 years of service to the Steinway Corp/Conn-Selmer Division. Yes, it really happened...after 35 years in the music business, Jim retired! The restaurant was the beautiful Villa Maria and a great feast was had. Many glowing words were spoken and gifts bestowed. It was a classy, emotional and proud moment and I'm sure glad I had my lady there to help me share in the festivities. She was the anchor that enabled me the success that I enjoyed.
