Tammie, Roger, Meggie and
Shelly 
Mom and Michelle (uncanny isn't it?)
My first daughter was born on
a blissfully warm (75ºF) April afternoon in 1968. Tammie is a nurturer.
She cares for and about people on the deepest level. Her compassion is profound.
Tammie uses her artistic talent to design and create wonderful cakes, hand
crafts and gifts. Her sense of design is something I wish I could come by
more easily. Tammie has a true talent for organization! She manages a household,
a side business and works partime as well.
She is also a budding author.
Tammie married Roger on October 8th, 1994. ( A wonderful man, and a loving
father!!!) Roger is blessing the lives of young ones as a teacher in Pennsylvania.

talent for calligraphy and has taught courses at the College of St. Rose
in Albany, NY.
Rachael and Justin were married in 2000 and delighted us with grand daughter
Maggie.
Rachael enjoys hiking, camping and fishing, and so many other things.
She is an accomplished flutist, and composer. Her compositions
are full of life and fire! Her love of music and art is a joy to all of us.
She has a profound inner faith that gives her the strength to face so many
obstacles through the years! Rachel has begun a music ministry
in their local church in Arkansas and Justin occassionally sings with her.
I'm very proud of her and all she has accomplished.
Rachael is a caring, loving, generous woman, with a fire and flare all her
own! She's taught me much in unlocking the inner image. Thank you Rachael!
Rebecca 
Becca was commissioned as an Ensign at Pensacola
Naval Base from the Officer Candidate class 18-00.
What a thrill it was to attend!
Becca has always been a self motivated, energetic, focused, strong, intelligent
person. She has become a beautiful, radiant woman. Rebecca is insightful,
observant and has an insatiable thirst for justice (and a few beers occasionally
too!!! *G*)
She has a wonderful
singing voice - (she'll kill me for putting that in) - and if she had chosen a stage career instead of Surface Warfare, you better believe that she would be starring in a one woman show!!!
Judging from her success
in every area of her life, I can easily see her becoming an eminent force
for peace in this Country's International Relations.
Her sense of humour
is outrageous! We've fallen apart in gales of laughter in the most unlikely
places. Becca is sunshine incarnate! (I want to be just like her when I
grow up!) We love you, sweetie!!!

graced our lives in December 1980. He has always been a loving, generous
soul! He is an accomplished graphics artist, and has graphics for several
websites on the net! He has started his own computer consultant business
"Creative Solutions"©1997
Ray is an accomplished singer
and musician, as well. His love of art and music is rivaled only by his passion
for computer graphics! He's currently living and working in Colorado. He
is the kind of son every mother would be proud to have! He is thoughtful,
kind, generous, humorous, and above all LOVING! Watching him become
a man has been a journey of insight! He is - My joy and my pride!!!
Jon was born in August 1978. Jonathan
has been an adventure in patience, understanding, tough love and acceptance.
He is bright, talented (an incredible voice!!!) funny, and his own man. He
marches to the beat of a different drummer. Jonathan has a flare for gourmet
cooking, and graduated from Job Corp. in Glenmont, NY with a certificate

We love him with all our hearts, all of us. We are

forgiving, and humble too. Jon will become a very special man.
