Hello, El Paso!
|
Well here we are at Rocky Ridge in El Paso TX. This will be our home for the next few years while Lee is a Chaplain at William Beaumont Army Hospital at Ft Bliss. We are ready to make new friends and establishing our home in a new area. We hope to renew friendships with "Air Defendeers" that we have known in Germany and Ft Hood.

We will spend our first night in El Paso on June 23. Robin and John are already enrolled in school. Robin is happy about cheerleading and has plans to attend two cheerleader camps. John and Robin will begin searching right away for an active youth group at a Baptist church. As soon as boxes are unpacked Barbara will start getting ready for the new school year at Fannin Elem.
