The family is prolific with lots of great people about whom I always wish I knew more. There are four kids -
- Martha is married to John Cooper who's a manufacturing engineer and travels a lot.
- Lynne married Prabhakar Pendse. We are headed to India with them in March.
- Wayne Davidson is married to Cindy - a school teacher.
- and Jeff is married to Deedee.
Martha and John have three kids, Michael, Kate and Lindsay. Kate lives in Portland with her husband Jeff Kern. We've been telling Kate that she can only buy her lunch from the Dump Truck. Lindsay (newly wed in October) lives in Savannah where she's starting a boutique with the support of her lawyer husband Patrick LeMaster.
Between Lynne and Prabhakar, there are at least 6 kids. Lynne's daughter Kelly got married to Greg Capobianco in Wilmington last New Year's Eve. Brandon Crockett is working for Disney down in Florida and couldn't make it this year. You guys have met one of Prabhakar's daughters.
Wayne and Cindy's daughter Nancy is a Wake Forest student and has spend some time in Russia working with an orphanage. I wish she were able to meet William, Fujiko, Masha and Sayaka but their path's never coincided.
And Jeff has two kids, Chris and Bailey. Bailey is 11 and really looks up to all the more mature women who are her cousins and great role models.
All-in-all, it's great to hang around and share tales with that crowd. Paula and I can hold our own with adventure stories but we wish we could show off our own kids. You guys would all love each others' company, enthusiasm, and spirit of adventure.
