We hope you have a joyous Christmas season. Please enjoy our pictures and quick stories.

Camille and Wayne celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on August 14th by traveling to Whidbey Island in Puget Sound where we enjoyed a nice bed and breakfast. Thank you to Wayne's sisters and families for making sure we had a great time! Also the weather was beautiful as you can see from the pictures. Brother-in-law Robert was disappointed in the calm wind, as we had to motor his sail boat back to the harbor.

Wayne passes the significant 25th service anniversary with Qwest on December 6th and that means he qualifies for a full retirement. Although with two boys in college next year, Wayne feels he is much too young to retire. Camille continues to work at Waldenbooks and is managing the calendar kiosk.

We love to hear from friends, so please email us at culp(at)tconl.com if you get a chance.

 

Charles is a junior studying mechanical engineering. His classes are becoming more focused and he hopes to some day work on a design team for one of the car companies. At Delta Tau Delta fraternity, he served as the Sargent-At-Arms this last year and was just elected vice president for next year. Charles was particularly proud of their large fall pledge class. Check out the fraternity's web site that he designed. He had a nice summer internship with CRB LINCS and you can view that company's web page he designed at http://www.crblincs.com/.

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church has been our home for over 10 years now. Camille is active with the Episcopal Church Women and St. Monica's Guild. She also is chairwoman for the annual Antique Show.
