Well let me take this opportunity to interject a little update on Keith. The latest letter, dated May 28, says that he has taken the placement tests enabling him to attend Purdue North Central beginning this fall.

He has almost fully converted to Catholicism now. In fact, he has delved so far into studying and learning the faith, that he now answers OTHER PEOPLE'S questions regarding Catholic Catechism and is very involved in weekly services held at the facility.

His grandmother passed away in April and "she's the first relative (he's) ever lost"---so it was hard for him not to be with his family and attend the funeral services.

He's been writing essays (1000 word limit) and submitting them for publication. He has already had one published in the Catholic newspaper. The one he recently submitted to Women's Press Club of Indiana is entitled "In WHOM Do We Trust?--Marriage in the Age of Political Correctness", and is about the stance against legalizing homosexual marriage. He is beginning to work up a short story (2500 word limit) to enter into a contest he's interested in.

.....and he still would love to hear from any of y'all, so if you need his address, just ask me.

jen, i hardly think the band splitting up could ruin this list...even tho we--myself expecially--are not as active as we used to be, we are still here...i know that i constantly wonder how everyone is doing, and keep you all in my heart and prayers, even when we don't talk as often as we used to...and i think it's safe to say that all of us here feel the same...you all are way too important to me in ways you'll never know...
