SLIDE RULE REPORT




Papaw completed his year as a Church Service Missionary today but Brother Coil had him extend his mission another six months (until March 15th 2013).  When he got home from the ERC there was an email with a video clip of Buddy's antique display where the 1960's slide rule was presented along with photos of an antique grandpa, propeller type USAF training aircraft  and an IBM computer system from that era.

Mamaw says, here is what went down today:  I got up about 4:45 AM, read, studied, watched the news while waiting for Papaw to wake up, we had breakfast, I got another set of instructions on how to use the computer, trimmed some flowers and pulled weeds, mopped the laundry room and kitchen floors, had lunch and then took a short nap.  Talked to John, Donna, Estes and Danni.  Buddy did his presentation today and did a great job... we are so-o-o-o proud.  The video segment was excellent!  We had dinner, I composed this note and then got a call from Jean (we talked a long time) and now I am going to watch TV and go to bed.  We love all of you!

                     Love,
         Mamaw & Papaw
