Happy Holidays Starnes Family!

I hope that all of you in the family have a very good holiday season. It has been a lousy year with the economy, and that has made things tough on all of us. Most of us have worked harder and longer this year than in the past, yet we’ve little to show for it.

Let’s do what we are always told when things get difficult, let’s try to look at the good:

• We are alive
• We have health (of varying degrees)
• We live in a great country (with some management issues)
• We have homes
• We have food
• We have family

I love my family and care about all of you. While we don’t get to see one another often enough, I have many memories of everyone that help me fill in the times when we are not able to be together.

May 2008 wrap-up as best it can for everyone, and here’s to a better year in 2009!
