• We received the following email from the beautiful Silvia Powledge today.  She and Lorena were very close friends when they attended TSU, and Silvia lived in Granbury.

  
  

  Hi Mike:
  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Even though you have not heard from me, I have been following the blog and I am up to date about Lorena's progress. I am praying for her and I hope that I can see her in Tepic or may be see all of you together again in Stephenville. I am doing well, facing other challenges in life like all of us have to. I am not working at USC Aiken any longer. Some sudden changes took place; many people left or "had to" leave...I felt very disappointed and I have to say that I miss my students and I miss using my brain at a more challenging level. But, life goes on and I submitted my certification from Texas and Louisiana and they certified me in SC. So, I was lucky enough to find a job in a country elementary school where I teach ESL to 4K-5th grade students(mostly Mexican, of course!) and I make double the money!! Isn't that amazing? I worked for years for peanuts......! Anthony is cutting hair at Trade Secret at the mall in Augusta, Ga (30 minutes away) and.....he is t ne married and become the father of a little girl on October 4th!!!!! I am going to be a grandmother in October! >Andrew is in Atlanta testing concrete, working for the same company where his father works....I hope God gives him strength and teaches him to be responsible... Sometimes my heart aches..... Sorry I haven't been very good at keeping in touch...but all of you are in my mind. Love, Silvia

  It was wonderful to hear from her again, and, Silvia, Lorena laughed delightedly -- and cried -- when we read her your email.  Please stay in touch.
