It is also the last time that Richard and his 3 brothers were all together. Finally, it looks like a reunion is in the works! His brother, Mark, and family will be in Boise for Christmas this year (they are Wycliffe missionaries in Spain), and we are planning to be with Caleb in Casper, WY. We are planning to meet in Boise the weekend before Christmas, along with Richard’s two other brothers who live in Nevada and Washington. It will be fun to have them all together for the first time In so many years!
