Update 9/26/2019. Fortunate in that my children, and grandchildren, all live within 10 miles. Oldest grandson, Eddy, now student at Vanderbilt University. Maya (11th grade), Marisa (9th), Isaac (6th), all doing well. My son and spouse opened a Yoga Studio. My daughter, Dr. Bevin Reinen, now has 26 month old Kemp, reduced work to half time to Mother him for a few years. We try to encourage the grandchildren to be happy and stay on a good path, and they bring so much enjoyment to our lives. Bernie and I are most proud of our life work in influencing our children and grandchildren.
