Easter 2009

We celebrated Easter today at Dave & Sharla Martin's home in Arlington. With us were long-time friends, the Simons (Rachel in the lower right), and the Fairbanks (thanks Bob, for posting this picture). I've known Dave Martin from the our sophomore year in high school (class of '65). Can you believe he's worked at IBM for nearly 40 years!

My pictures from the iPhone weren't so hot, but here are the folks we've known for many years.

Julie has know Bob Fairbanks since high school days and Bob's wife, Emily, since college (I think).


Dr. Gary Simons is Chief Research Officer at Wycliffe Bible Translators. His daughter, Rachel, is a school teacher and wife Linda also works at Wycliffe. Off in the blurry is Carolyn Fairbanks who graduates from high school this year.


Dave & Sharla's youngest child, Joel, graduated from the University of Missouri and is now an engineer for an oil and gas company in Houston.


Thanks Sharla for a terrific meal and wonderful hospitality.
