Conference yukon::christian_v7

    That's great Rob!!! :-)  I'll be praying for your move.

    Hi Rob,

    I remember praying about your move to Germany. But for some reason,
    I didn't realize you were a New Englander. Weren't you in Colorado
    before?  

    Mind if I mention this to my husband Greg who is no longer at DEC,
    er Digital, & also Irena Pulkstenis?

    Leslie

    Amen Rob,
    
    my prayers are with you and your family.

Rob!

My, that's a mind-bender!  I'll *really* kick myself for not getting to 
Dresden last September if you've gone before I can get back! (end of June 
is the current estimate).  Not only that - I guess it would mean you 
wouldn't be likely to get to Reading either!  No ... CAN'T be right ... ;-}

OK - will be praying, and see if [where] the LORD is building this house

.0 � especially since I have not been involved in CHRISTIAN for some time, 
.0 � and some (a lot) of you may not even know who I am.
Just to clarify, I think folks ought to know that Rob served as moderator 
of the CHRISTIAN conference (earlier - archived - versions, that is!) from 
1987 to 1991 (was it, Rob?), while in Munich and Stuttgart.

				God bless, bro...

Hi,

Re .2 Leslie,

Yes, we moved from Colorado to Germany, but I was born in Cambridge, Mass. and
grew up in New Jersey, but spent summers in Maine.  Most of my immediate family
now lives in Maine (Sebasco Estates, which is south of Bath on Cape Small, and
Topsham).  I've basically been off "on my own" for over 20 years, and always
looked at New England as "home," even though I never really lived there.   But,
it is the one other area, besides Germany, that I've "always" wanted to live
in.  Does having been born in Cambridge make me a New Englander? :-)

Definitely say HI! to Greg and Irena.  Anybody ever know what happened to
Charlie Johnson?

Re .4 Andrew,

Yeah, you may have missed the chance, although I do owe Nicolas a letter.

And, yes, I think you are right about my being a moderator back then.  Seems
like ages ago.  I think that SUOIS3::RMARSHALL shows up quite a bit in one of
the archived versions.  Something to do with "goals, non-goals..." of the 
CHRISTIAN conference :-)

There's no telling, though, when we would actually move.  My understanding is
that they need people immediately, but with all the signatures that are needed
for an international relocation, it could take a while.  Then we have to sell
our house here (might be a problem) before we can go anywhere, etc. (I thought
that Bob Palmer had gotten rid of matrix management, until I found out that 
they need 13 signatures for an int'l relo :-)

Thanks for your prayers,

Rob

Well being born in Cambridge, MA & summering in Maine certainly gives you
New England roots Rob. 'Fraid I've lost track of Charlie.

Leslie

Hi Leslie,

I also went to school in Rhode Island...I'll guess it won't take much 'til
I staht dropping my ahs all the time...and staht wearin' shots in the summa :-)

Of course, if you know any downeast humor...read this with a thick Maine
accent:

On how hard it is to become a Maine native...

A fellow, who moved to Maine as a young child once asked:

I moved here when I was a child, married, and raised my children here.  Don't
you think that makes me a Maine native?

The answer:

Well sir, if your cat were to climb into the oven and have kittens, you 
wouldn't call 'em muffins, would you? :-)

Rob

    Rob,
    
    I'll be praying that the Lord's hand will be upon you and your family 
    for sure!  (As a side note, my mom grew up in Bath and my parents still
    try to spend the summers up theah.)
    
    And yes, I think you qualify as a Mainer.  When we would go up for the 
    summer from Charleston, SC, we would consider everyone else TOURISTS
    and wish they would go home!  :)
    
    BTW, also very much believe in the office of the prophet.

Hi Faye,

My aunt just moved to Bath, and my brother works at BIW.  Of course, it used
to be embarassing trying to hitch-hike to my mom's...just imagine a long haired
hippy on the side of the road with a sign that says: Bath, Me. :-) :-)

Thanks,

Rob

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Just a quick update, because it's Friday evening...

I just got news that the application for the relocation has apparently been
approved.  I still haven't gotten "official" word, yet, but I assume it's
forthcoming.

I want to thank everybody for their prayers thus far, and ask that you
continue to pray for the move (selling our home, finding a new one, kids
and school...etc).

Leslie, were you able to get a hold of Irena?  I'd love to see her again.

Thanks again,

Rob

I just talked to her about half an hour ago actually, and mentioned the 
possibility of your relocating here.

Leslie

Hi,

a quick update.  We just got back from our house-hunting trip, which was a
success.  We found a house in Nashua right between exits 4 & 5 off Rte. 3.

I wanted to thank everybody who's been praying for us.  Things have been going
so well it's scarey.  There are still things that need to be taken care of, and
we have a lot to do to get ready for the movers who are coming on Monday (just
5 days away).  So, if you remember us, please pray that we would get everything
sold, and given away that we are not taking.  Also that the money from the sale
of our house here would be there in the next couple of weeks, and that every-
thing would go well for the closing.

Thanks again, and, for those in the Nashua area, see you soon.

Rob
