My husband, Vernon, and I have moved one time, during our 27 years of marriage, just a mile move! We are still doing satellite TV Sales and Service. I am a secretary for the Wright County Historical Society, I enjoy doing family history. I am making notes for a book on Descendants of Rev. Jonathan Owens. Vernon and I are both decendants of Jonathan. We Stay busy, spend lots of time with the grandkids! Our Grandson, Chad Johnson, is 16, his sister Shaina, is 10. Our youngest grand-daughter, Kelsey Jayne Long, is 6 years old. They are very precious.

The past few years, Vernon and I have written some songs, mostly bluegrass. We wrote one called the "Bluegrass King", the Bressler Brothers, Eminence, Missouri, recorded this one. It has received quite a lot of air play on the radio stations. We also wrote some songs for Vernon's Mother, Violet Long. We took her to Nashville, where she recorded a CD of bluegrass songs, this was fun for all of us. We may go to Nashville this spring, to do some more recording, if we have time. I hope to see many of you at the Reunion, July 1st.
