UPDATES FROM WES – 8-20-2017
Taking the lead from Rob, here are some updates from Wes’
family. As you may know, I became a grandpa in July and again in December.
Robert Lawton Dewey was born on the fifth of July in Tampa and I got my first
dose of that feeling when he was just 10 days old. Lindsey and Chris are doing
a remarkable job with Lawton, from video and digital evidence on social media.
He passed inspection when Lynn went to visit for Lawton’s birthday. Ben and Allison’s boy James is coming on
strong. He was mesmerized by an avalanche of bubbles this past weekend. He has
a stoic intensity that I think will serve him well.
I’m still convinced the world is a better place with
Lindsey in it. She continues to give her all at her job and is happy to travel
to conclaves and camps with her boy in tow. Including a trip to a national
convention in Chicago that allowed grampa Wes some quality time with Lawton and
the Chicago Art Institute (during an unseasonably warm weekend in February).
Ben has the eye of an artist and demonstrates great skill
behind the camera. So much so that he was contracted as wedding photographer
last month. Ben is featured player in meet and greet business development
functions for his firm. His is the valuation practice that helps companies
determine strategy, consider merger/acquisition or divorce settlements. Ben
knows his way around spreadsheets. Allison recruited her mom to visit this
weekend so Ben & Allison could participate in a Missouri float trip. James
had plenty of grandma (x2) and grandpa (me) time.
Lynn is baking up a storm for a Colleen’s Cookies. She
has been working more than me but I am back to work in a classroom at Special
School District (SSD) Neuwoehner High School. Making progress on my Master of
Arts in Teaching (Special Education) at Fontbonne University. I have a bunch of
A’s (but it hasn’t cost Rob anything). I remain a regular docent tour guide at
Laumeier Sculpture Park (Five years now). And a board member of the American
Marketing Association (since 1997 – 20 years). I’m also an advisory board
member for the University of Missouri, Saint Louis
(UMSL). This last paragraph
amounts entirely to a lot of psychic rewards.
Tomorrow we'll be in the path of a total solar eclipse.
