The Colsmiths have been writing newsletters for a long time now. Jim has started to write notes on his life. (See the first entry for more information.) Here are links to the ones that we have online, and a little summary of what happened that year.
They are in the order from most recent to oldest, so you can catch up on what we have been doing. The ones on the right are the news letters, the left Jim's notes. Just click on the year you are interested in.
Pictured are Marcia and Lauren, and Jim in the mirror at Lauren's house in
Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada.
