But then things began to happen. Pitney Bowes gave us a call one day and stated they wanted to buy our business. To make a long story short, we sold it to them, with the agreement that we would stay for 5 years to manage it.

Curtis, our oldest son graduated from CWU, and joined me in sales at Cascade. It's just wonderful to have him there and watch him go, He's doing great.

Kevin is finishing up at YVC and is going to Perry Tech this coming December. His ambition continues to be arts, and music. He's fun to watch too.

Curtis found the love of this life, and married Jaclynn Kleppin. Yup, Glenna's neice. Small world huh? She's very special, and we love her a lot. But, a year and a half later they made me an old Grandpa. Yup she's a beautiful little thing, and her name is Caitlynn; we couldn't be happier to be grandparents.

To add to our lives a LOT, we got this wild idea to build a new home, never done that before, doesn't sound too tough, huh? Anyway out at the McNeice ranch, Karen of course, we bought an acre and one half, when everyone else our age is down sizing, we're going crazy. All summer so far we are busy putting in flower beds, etc. Riding lawnmowers are wonderful things. I know, don't say it. We love the house, I hope we live long enough to enjoy it. ha ha

Anyway life continues to be great, and God has been very gracious to us, for which we thank Him.

Curt and Annie Bell
