Hi Ho Here We Go!
A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
 |
| Meet Hef Turner. Pictured here with her husband Chris (also known as CT) |
This week, the Fellows Board enthusiastically extended an invitation to Heather (Hef) Turner to accept the role of Assistant Director. AND SHE SAID YES!
More on Hef to come in upcoming Updates, but I couldn't wait to share the great news.
We had several amazing candidates. Thank you to all of you who expressed interest in this position. It was humbling as the director to see so much talent come our way. I say this a lot - but we have an embarrassment of talent in this city. What a gift!
WHAT A FUN VISIT!

Officer Christina Sandstedt of the United States Coast Guard came by for the weekend to catch up with old friends. (Christina was a Fellow our inaugural year). She is coming off a six month assignment to the East China Sea and has just finished "Boarding School."
(If you all saw that video of the Coast Guards Boarding the drug submarine a few months back - that is what Christina is now trained to do!
What a gift it was to spend the weekend with her. It was extra cool that she got to connect with other first year Fellows, including Campbell Anderson - at Pepsi - Dakota Lee - starting RUF at Wake, and Sean Henderson who came up from Charlotte to spend the evening/night with us!
A BIG ITEM FOR PRAYER
 |
| Our Beloved Home |
We have had not one, but TWO contracts fall through on our 381 Dover Dr. House in the last month. So after thinking that we had finally found the right family TWICE we are back to square one. Ugh!
Please pray that a wonderful family falls in love with our home. It is ready to move in! And we are ready to sell!
ONE LAST HURRAH
Last winter, my father-in-law and I started scheming together to start a new tradition - a man trip for the four sons (three are sons-in-law) and the three boy grandchildren.
This summer, this week, we pulled it off with a trip to Pigeon Forge and a hike to Mount LeConte Lodge!
