Letter from Dianne Moore

Hi All, I will be moving yet again on Dec. 1st! The following will be my address for the next 1 to 3 years. Please make a note of it if you plan to keep in touch...which I hope you do! 1473 Seahouse St. Sebastian, FL 32958 The house I am in right now is an investment home and will be sold (hopefully!!) in the next couple of months. Sebastian is a beautiful bedroom community about 40 miles north of Port St. Lucie, where I am now. Wide open spaces, very little traffic, and gorgeous beaches within 6-10 miles. Better real estate deals there now, as prices have risen drastically here in PSL. We're banking on the same happening in Sebastian over the next 1 to 3 years! My son will be moving into our next investment home in Sebastian around the end of Jan. He will then be 5 minutes from me! You can continue to email me at the yahoo address, although I may be out of service for a short time while arranging my new Internet service. My cel...

News from the Front

As most of you know, David (W.) no longer has any email access because they sent him "forward." However, he's been calling us weekly so we'll know he's okay. He said it's a very "active" area so they have lots of work, but he's glad to do it. He works a 24 hour shift, and then has 24 hours off to catch some sleep, and go to all the briefings etc before going onshift again. Thank you ALL for continuing to keep him in your prayers and thoughts. PLEASE SEND HIM MAIL, even if it's just a Christmas card with a signature on it: just ask me for his APO address.

November Birthdays

November 6, 1981 = Paul Lowe joined the World. November 6, 1991 = Nicholas Tate added his voice. November 26, 1941 = Jimmy Walker graced his parents with his presence. All three have been wonderful additions to our extended family, and we wish you all a very happy birthday !

Letter from Iraq

Hey, not much going on. The picture’s of the ride over here from Kuwait. Lance is the guy taking the picture. We’re stationed together back home and we have the same personalities/senses of humor, so we’re pretty tight. I wish we would have waited a minute or two to take that picture so you could see the sweat pouring out of every pore’s pore. That ride was pretty fun. It was pretty short (about 45 minutes) and had a wild landing. Mark, I’m sure you know exactly what I’m talking about; you too Grandpa! The video is just our first shot when we first got here. I think that one was about 400 pounds net explosive weight. [Editor's note: the video is not included in this blog... I can email it to you upon request, ok?] Anyway, this might be the last general email I send out for quite some time unless something cool happens within the next few days. Feel free to email me though, and I’ll be sure to answer. I just don’t know for how much longer I can reply. Alright, I’m sure I’ll talk to...

Chats with Dave

Well David now has an Air Force version of instant messaging, and it's so nice being able to "chat" with him. Not quite as good as a phone, but hey, I'm not going to comlain! He's doing well and in fact sent this photo. That's him on top of the bunker... OK, Half way on top of the bunker, over the doorway! The stuff that looks like duct work is exactly that... Jimmy said it is exactly the same kind he used 30 years ago to cool their equipment when he was in the Air Force. Some things never change...
