    What's New: I have become a grandfather, my daughter Noel had a son Hunter David 1-07-2000. I have been very involved in the business world, farm management was very good to me and I now own my own company. We manage farms all over the US & Canada. I also own a line of bar - restaurants in Iowa and N. Carolina. We have part interest in Iowa State Banks, Inc. We just purchased a large farm in N. Carolina and are building a new house there, so by the time you read this I will have moved again! Don’t like any grass growing under my feet! Sue and I do a lot of traveling throughout the world with the children and w/out them. I love my kids very much and am trying to make them better kids than I was, but don’t know how successful I will be. I'm trying to slow down on the work end to spend time with them before they are all gone – that’s the reason for the farm and move to N.C. Hope to see you all sometime, but don’t know if we will make the next reunion. Hoping to be the first to retire from our class !!!!

    Thinking of y'all,

    Ernie
