From Graduation until today

Well, isn't this amazing! To be able to communicate to all my classmates of the past. Thanks Omer, you have done a great job.

My history in a nutshell:

In 1960 Eldon and I were married July 2. September found us living in the middle of Chicago, serving with Mennonite Voluntary Service until September of 1962. We served at the Blue Island Mennonite Church helping with boys and girls clubs, youth programs, and many other things involved with inner city church work.

From September 1962 to 1964 we lived in Puerto Rico serving with the Aibonito Mennonite Hospital. Eldon worked in the maintenance department while I kept busy helping wherever needed. Our son Tony Kendell appeared on the scene in November 1963. He is a captain with Jet Blue and lives in Concord, N.C.

November 14, 1964 to January 14, 1966 we lived in the US. From 1966 to 2003 we lived in Ecuador. The first eighteen and half years were in the green jungles of Ecuador. Sherry Linn joined our family in October 1967. In 1984 we moved to the city of Quito where we served for fourteen years. After Christmas 1998 we moved to "Campamento Biblico Mangayacu" of Shell Ecuador, until March 2003.

We were asked in 1999 to direct our mission's camp on Dog Lake north of Thunder Bay, ON. We have been doing that since 2001. During 2001 and 2002 we served six months in Ecuador and six months in the US and Canada. Since March of 2003 we go to Canada June, July and August. If you enjoy fishing make reservations with us. Walleye are fun to catch and great to eat. Eldon has been driving truck since we came home from Ecuador. I have been involved with Bible Study Fellowship as a discussion leader. It is a great way to study the Bible. I would recommend it to anyone!

Looking forward to August 2010.
