Fathers. . .

Hello Everyone - It has been a LONG and TIRING week. I am leaving today for South Africa. There are 18 people on our team who are going to serve the Zulu people of South Africa. We have been preparing since January this year and now have 54 bags to check in and 18 more to carry on loaded with many generous donations of medicine and medical supplies. I am so thankful even if it has mean some really late nights. It is such a privilege for me to go and I am so thankful to all of you who supported me in so many ways.

The only BIG bummer about going on this trip at this time is that I am going to miss FATHER's DAY. I know that we have some of the BEST FATHER's a Family could ever have. They are loving, supportive, kind, generous, provide good counsel, love to have fun, and well . . . they are so many things I could say.

I am overflowing with thankfulness for my Dad, my Grandpa, and my uncles. They are so so so special to me. Love you, Tracy

Tim's new job

I accepted a new teaching position as Director of Bands at Rochester High School in Rochester, MI.

Rochester High School has approximately 1800 students and is one of three schools in Rochester. It was built in 1955 and renovated in 2002.

Rochester is home of the Falcons; blue and white are our colors. The band program has over 200 students in 3 concert bands and a marching band.

I'm looking forward to this new adventure especially starting at the end of July when I take the band to marching band camp on the campus of Michigan State.
