Dear Friends

I have always enjoyed receiving those mimeographed letters with peoples Christmas cards. You know, the ones where everyone in the family has something to say and you are barely able to read it. I decided that I would send you one this year. (I hope you will be able to read this copy.)

I will start by telling what we have been up to over the last year. After a few years of being various types of managers for several small computer companies, Chris got tired of the pressure and hassle. She decided to leave Corona Data Systems in Westlake Village and work as the Data Base Administrator at Hughes Research Labs in Malibu.

In the meantime, Earl is still working for EATON Corporation in Westlake Village as a system manager in charge of several large computers.

All of this explains the format of this letter. I find that writing on the computer is faster and far more legible than if I were to write it by hand.

Vibeke turned thirteen this fall and entered Junior High School. She immediately became a "typical teenager". Her main interest is dancing and is presently taking one jazz and two ballet classes. She entered thirteen slides in the Ventura County Fair this year and received a ribbon for each, five firsts, judge’s award, and sweepstakes-WOW!

This last summer the three of us attended several Olympic events, including the opening ceremony. It was an experience that will always be remembered. Also last summer, we and two of Vibeke's cousins went camping in the Western United States. We covered Nevada, Utah, Montana, Idaho, and California. We stayed in most of the parks, a varied selection of motels and hotels, and had the usual car trouble.

Vibeke and Chris are attending as many rock concerts as their budget will allow, including the great Jackson Victory Tour. As a family, we still enjoy attending plays, musicals, and concerts. This coming year, our plan is to travel around the North-Eastern United States for two weeks in June and July.

Well that's our life in 1984. We would be happy to hear from you and what you and your family have been doing.

If you are ever out our way, let us know and maybe we can get together and bore each other over old times. Our phone(s) are:

(805) 482-5736 and (805) 484-7705 (our recorder)
