Jack of All Trades

We are a multi-talented group of people.

Bud is a very skilled mechanic and home builder. He has the ability to look at a pile of parts and just knows how to assemble them into a functioning motor. I can ask him to build a piece of equipment for the dogs or a kennel to house them, and he builds them a castle.

I, too, have skilled hands and am capable at a number of crafts. I especially enjoy working on computers and love designing web sites.

Our oldest daughter, Dorothy, is an artist with talent in oils, water-colors, sculpting,and jewelry. She should have her degree in Art History with a minor in Anthropolgy this summer. She has her floral certificate and is a budding photographer. She has been married to Peter for 5 years and in January presented us with our first grandbaby, Elizabeth.

Our next daughter, Carol, is a very talented young lady. She plays the flute, writes fiction and is extremely skilled in drawing anime-style cartoons. Carol has been active in the school theatre for 3 years, as a stage manager and actress. She has appeared in several productions and entered every talent contest. She hopes to be a director or choreographer. She was Junior Court Princess for this year's Homecoming Court.

Our youngest daughter, Dawn, plays the clarinet and is an excellent artist specializing in animals. Dawn is especially talented with the dogs and they adore her. She wants to be a veterinarian.
