Comments: From Libertyville,ILL. Following graduation from Utah State U. after my mission, I was an academic librarian at the U of U Libraries for ten years. I now work at OCLC, The Online Computer Library Center in Dublin, Ohio as Program Director, OCLC Members Council. We recently became grandparents of triplets, our first grandchildren. I was just released as an ordinance worker in the Columbus Ohio Temple to serve in the Bishopric of the Ohio State U. First (Singles)Ward.
Dear Wayne: Thanks to you my friend for your faithful communication and love for all of us associated with the NFEM, even those of us that you did not know personally. I have enjoyed so much hearing about missionary friends such as presidents Hill and Tucker and Elder Walker with whom I served comtemporaneously. My elderly mother now living in SLC recently had the privilege of twice hearing and talking
with Sister Okazaki, one of the great ladies of the Church and such a
continued blessing to all of us.
My deep appreciate to you and continued best wishes, Rich VO |
