All is well with the Bentleys after a busier than usual holiday season. It all started off with a Thanksgiving visit to Plano, Illinois where we gathered in Emmons' Woods with the Phelps and Cinatls. Christmas was soon upon us and lots of company and events. Susan's sister Nancy and her kids, Chris and Julie, spent the week after Christmas with us. Susan, Nancy and I enjoyed an overnight get-away seeing James River plantations and Williamsburg. January began with the start of Spring classes and ended with the 90th Diocesan Council at Hotel Roanoke. We hosted Fr. Peter Yorkstone from England who was representing the Diocese of Bradford. Now we all wait for spring. MLB
