Dear Class of '82:
'Things have changed very little at the Trentham household over the course of 2004. I'm still doing nutrition education and sales with JuicePLUS+. It's a fascinating field, and this product is phenomenal.
We're all very involved at church. On the side, I'm doing research on church marketing and growth strategy for a project; 'do a lot of reading in the areas of Judaism/Hebrew, covenants and sacrifice; am receiving inspiration (!) and collecting some notes for a book...' just dreaming.
Kevin has been IS Director at same company for several years, and now jockeying for a CIO position. He hunts whenever feasible, and often takes Garrett with him. 'Successfully ran the marathon here in town in April, and is training again for '05 - raising funds for leukemia/lymphoma research.
Jonathan is a senior this year; and we're visiting colleges - that's surreal. His plan now is to attend the University of Tennessee in Knoxville next fall, declaring a major in physics and minor in astronomy. He and three friends from his school have put their names in to suite together in one of the dorms there.
Garrett does extremely well at school - played offensive tackle this fall, and earned most improved eighth grader on the team. Like his dad, he's a dyed-in-the-wool hunter. 'Thinks he may study conservation, ecosystems, habitat protection.
Our house has not been placed on the market yet, in spite of talking about it for a couple of years. It's 30 years old and , not unlike myself, she's falling apart in places that require more than a cosmetic touch-up. It is indeed true: talk is cheap - contractors are expensive. Carpenters, painters, and aggregate workers have been swarming the property.
Mom and Dad Powers are in Huntsville, AL. Monica & Kim AND Melissa & David Lee are all in Minneapolis; Mel moved there this fall with David's 3M job. And, Stephanie is working for a ministry out of Kampala, Uganda.
Steph is not sponsored by a mission board - she needs funds - this is a fledgling ministry. If any of you know of a Bible study group that would like to adopt her cause, or even one time gifts, please write to me at my e-mail address and I'll pass along her mailing information. All tax-deductible, run through her church in Boston.
We have been so richly blessed. God is more than merciful; His loving kindness goes all the way to full-out prosperity, and we are thankful.
'Love you guys! Angela
