1999

We began 1999 with trying to bring our house back in order from the remodeling and room addition.

In the spring, Brenda was interviewed on Channel 11 TV during a breast cancer emphasis.

A multiple-year South Cobb High School reunion brought together members of Brenda's Class of 1959.

On June 1, Rod had surgery for prostate cancer. The surgery went well and the pathology was very encouraging, suggesting that the cancer was well contained in the prostate. Dr. Maxwell White, who did the biopsy and subsequent surgery, indicated that no further treatment was necessary.

Jeff, Darla and Ashleigh came up for a visit on Monday, June 21, and stayed until Friday. We went up to Bent Tree Tuesday and Wednesday.

Rod continues his fascination with close-up pictures.

Jordan was born in New Orleans while Rod was off in San Antonio for an AAPT meeting. As soon as he returned, we headed off to New Orleans to see the new granddaughter.

Jeff and family moved from the apartment in the old Alaska building to a house down the street. Ashleigh has a room of her own and her own big bed.

We had an RA fishing trip to Bent Tree's Lake Tamarack on September 11 .

We had an RA hike up Stone Mountain in the fog and rain on October 9 .

We had an RA hike up Oglethorpe Mountain at Bent Tree on November 6.

We had an RA Campout and overnight at Bent Tree on November 19-20.

Thanksgiving is always a time we look forward to.

Rod, Brenda and Mark made the trip to New Orleans and celebrated Christmas at the Moyle's.

We enjoyed year-end visits from Philippe and Mary Sue, Shirley and Ronnie, and a mission group from Mississippi.
