Howdy,
Indeed it has been awhile and I have grown-up somewhat since then. A little older but much much better looking. . . . So much happens over time that it is hard to condense it done in a few words without feeling that your leaving out information or a funny or touching story.

I married my college sweetheart, Paula Pierce in '84. Pretty, blond, Texan...what can I say. We have been married for 25 years this year. Most of my adult life has been in the great state of Texas. First in East Texas near Tyler then in Texas City near Houston. Now we live near Nashville where I work at LifeWay as a Database Developer.

We have three children Susan(23), Amy(22) and Bradley II(13). Susan graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA in English from Campbell University last year and now works near Galveston, TX. Amy is the mother of our grandson Kadyn and is married to Scott Freeman. Scott is in the Navy and is station in Seattle, WA on the USS Abraham Lincoln. Kadyn, who will be two in August, is like typical boys, a ball of fire. It's pretty tough having your children and grad kids that far from you. Bradley is home schooled. His two favorite past times is gaming and Boy Scouts. Of course my wife home schools while trying to keep my son and I out of trouble while staying sane and I am the Scoutmaster of Troop 407 in Galatin, TN.

Like in Topeka, we live off the main road, out in the sticks. After living in the Houston area for such a long time it's nice to hear wildlife and see the stars.

I wish we could attend this year but scheduling doesn't permit. We hope that everyone is doing well and has a great time.

Peace be with you and God bless.
Brad
