Merry Christmas from the Culps

Here we are at the end of 2005.  Camille and Wayne are busy with the empty nest and the boys are grown.  Wayne calls it "getting a life".  Said it another way … what are we doing with the rest of our lives.  Playing tennis and backpacking are keeping us active.  Camille is working two jobs --- working as a paraprofessional at Omaha Public Schools assisting with  "English as a Second Language" in the mornings and working as the inventory assistant for a small business run by our friends in the afternoon.  She still loves books, her book club and bunko.  Wayne is passing 29 years service with Qwest. Peace be with you, Camille, Wayne, Charles, and Andy

The most significant event this past year is the death of Camille's mom Dorothy Pierce.  If you are interested, checkout this link:  DorothyPierce2005.htm Wayne also has a web site of his annual backpacking trip at:  /IsleRoyale2005.htm   Also he made a couple of trips to Billings to visit his parents and we both visited Uncle John and the Floyd cousins in Gonzales, Texas, with the death of Aunt Joan.  Wayne dropped some family pictures at this link:   WayneFamily2005.htm  Part of Wayne's "getting a life" is playing electric bass with the Rose Chamber Ensemble most Tuesday evenings.

	Charles landed a great job as a Design Engineer with Essex Industries in St. Louis.  You can tell he is having fun by the car he drives.  Check out Charles' web site at:  http://www.charlesculp.com/

	Andy is on target to graduate in May from University of Missouri at Kansas City with majors in economics and philosophy.  He continues to be active in policy debate and politics and is one of the cofounders of Tent State at UMKC.  You can check out these web sites at:  http://www.tentstate.org/documentary/ and http://www.umkc.edu/debate.
