Change... Bailout... Change... Stimulus... Change... We will remember these words from 2008. Already, one commentator has said, "2008 will be studied in the history books."
It was a memorable year for Albert and me too. We became great grandparents last August. Our granddaughter and her husband adopted the foster baby they had been caring for since he was 3 months old. Andrew (Drew) Ray Johnson is now 1 1/2 years old and we love and adore him.
To add to our (my) great 2008, 1 had my first hole-in-one last October, while playing with Albert and friends at the Rolling Hills Country Club at the lake. I had been thinking of retiring from the game, but now I think I'll give it another year or two!

We did not schedule a class picture. If you really want one, let us know. Otherwise, we will probably take random snaps at each event.
