Joe Slade and Judith Lee, Athens, OH

Joe Slade and Judith Lee are both on the faculty of Ohio University in Athens, OH. Both have been very productive authors and continue to be active in teaching and research. We had a great time touring the university, talking until late in the night and enjoying the beautiful home and home cooking of these friends. Joe and Loy caught up on memories of Dallas, Woodrow Wilson High School and Southern Methodist University. It is delightful to find that our friendship has endured over 40 years of separation and that Judith and Linda have immeasurably improved the quality of our lives. We are already looking forward to getting together with them again.

We stopped near Indianapolis due to the snow and high winds, but we hope to arrive in Geneva on 12/10/09. Geneva has low temperatures and snow on the ground. Nevertheless it will be good to be home again.
