  Max & Lucille lived @ 1601 St. Louis Ave - East St. Louis, Ill (probably the Confectionary) until late 40s, when they moved to Hobbs, NM - 416 East Mesa Drive - 88240 --------------------------------------------- Christmas 1998 Dear Friends and Relatives Merry Christmas! So many things have happened in our life this year I just don't know where to begin. I wanted to write to all of you. My brother Paul died last February. He was a career Navy man and a submariner. He loved the Navy and settled in San Diego. About 12 years ago he made funeral arrangements with the Navy, and a mortuary, to be buried at sea in the finest US Navy tradition I didn't quite know how to handle this so I found a nice lady at the San Diego Navy base who was in charge of burials at sea. She did a fantastic job. We had to wait for a certain ship, and on December 4th I received a letter and a box from the Navy. In the box was a flag that was draped over Paul's casket, the shells from the rifle salute, a series of color photographs and a video tape showing the whole ceremony I was so proud. Today is December 7th and it has a special meaning for us. We don't get many family visits out in the desert but Max's brother & wife came to visit in March. We had fun and it was a good last visit in our old house in Hobbs. While we were in Midland seeing them off at the airport, I had a stroke. Both Peggy and Patti were out of the country so Sally and her wonderful family took care of us. In May we all went to Purdue University for Jenifer's graduation. It was beautiful and the day after she graduated from the College of Aviation Technology, Chautauqua Airlines called and she is now a commuter pilot She hopes to fly for United Airlines someday. Max and I have moved to California close to Peggy and Tom We built a cute little house on a hill with a West view. On a clear day we can see the Coast mountains 100 miles away. Things just got too hectic in Hobbs. We don't get around as well as we used to so we decided to move closer to one of our daughters. We live in Auburn, half way between San Francisco and Reno. Auburn is about 30 miles east of Sacramento in the heart of the gold country and last night it snowed about 2". We are having a White Christmas. Tom says we are above the fog and smog that is common in the Sacramento valley. Patti and family will join us for Christmas, and we are having the whole bunch at our new house on the 25th. I have put our new address and phone at the bottom. Our twin grand daughters, Katie and Beth, were 21 on Thanksgiving, and we flew to Las Vegas for the big day. They were so cute! They wanted to play the slots Blackjack and be carded. They got carded all right. They still look so young! Both came home winners at Blackjack. I miss you all so much. Please do come and visit --------------------------------- [My sister, Neva Jean Sherman Brimson, and I [Pat Sherman McAlister] were out to visit Aunt Lucille and Uncle Max right before they moved. Bea Foulds was about to move also - to her house in Ruidoso, NM. I think it was Thanksgiving 1999 that Lucille had hip replacement. --------------------------------- Christmas - 2000 Dear Friends & family: Merry Christmas and & happy holidays. We surely do miss everybody, especially all of you in Hobbs, but we have truly settled in here in California. Our house is beautiful and we are able to watch the California sunset every night. I can't believe how well the roses grow here. You all must come and visit. Peggy and Tom are taking good care of us, and we are forever grateful. I can still drive, but Peggy is so good at hauling us around. I spent the first couple of months doing therapy for my hip. It was nice to get through a Thanksgiving without a hip replacement! I have given up using the walker, so my mobility is very much improved. Max has a new hearing aid and can hear very well now [if he uses it]. He naps frequently and loves his little dog Laddie. He surely is a blessing. In July we went to Saint Louis and stayed with Nell so we could go to Kansas City for the Foulds reunion. On the last day we went home to the farm where Max grew up and had a barbecue. In June we went to Santa Barbara to see Katie and Beth graduate from University of California. It's hard to believe that they are 23 now. They are Linguistic graduates and both are fluent in Spanish. Beth went on to study French and German, and Katie, Japanese. I don't know how they do it. Katie took a two year intern job with Young Life, and is very happy. Beth works at William Sonoma and is looking for a job in computer speech recognition technology. For graduation, Tom sent them to Europe for a month. He truly is their dad. Jeni is our rising star! She has been a co-pilot flying 50 passenger jets for US Air for two years and is now in Captain upgrade training. How quickly they grow up. We went down to Moro Bay to the Dwelle's beach house for six days during Thanksgiving. You would not believe how big the surf was during a storm. Peggy and I drove down and Tom and Max flew down in Tom's airplane. They got weathered out on the way home and spent the night in Visalia where Tom's family is. Fortunately they had Max's medicine with them. On December 1st I picked the last of my beautiful roses and the first narcissus of spring for a nice red and white bouquet. Now we look forward to Patti and Lew, and Bea and Judy coming for Christmas. We miss you all so much. Please come and visit! ----------------------------------------------------
