Holly
With Brenna now in public school, we had been homeschooling, she and Annette may not be aboard as many spring and fall trips as in the past. Holly is off on her own adventures now. She has been attending Willamette University in Salem, OR since the fall of 2004. Unfortunately she will be a rare crew member in the future.
