wrong thing at the tempting moment!

Joseph feel free to call me whatever is more comfortable to
you. You can email me too so we don't take up space on the
circle letter. CONGRATS! CONGRATS! CONGRATS! Mom and Dad
(Gerry and Kelly) on all the upcoming wonderful
celebrations. I am trying to carry on the tradition of
reminding Jeff that the fireworks are just for him on his
4th of July birthday, but I think he's getting too old to
believe. He's not so excited this year about his birthday,
so if anyone gets a chance, please call him and wish him a
happy birthday on the 4th. I know he would love it! You
can email me if you don't have his cell number.
Love to all.

Author: tunergye@hotmail.comThe "Babe" Retired!!
July 1, 2008
Hello Everybody! Well I did it! I am officially retired
from General Motors after 31 years. With the way things
are going in the auto industry between layoffs, strikes,
and high gas prices, I was practically living on what I
can live on with my pension from Feb. to June as we were
layed off due to the strike with American Axle. It was a
wake up call for me to get out while I can get my pension.
I will do some type of work in the future but I don't know
what I want to do when I grow Up!! Right now we're just
enjoying each other's company and playing scrabble on our
deck and falling asleep in our recliners like old people.
We took a preretirement trip out to Las Vegas to see our
best friends Romy and Norie and Bill and Sharon. We always
have so much fun out there!! Congrats to Jim amd Heather
Boudreau on their wedding in Las Vegas. This friday Jeff
will turn 28!! Where does the time go? Jeff and Ben are
currently looking for teaching jobs. They hope they can
find jobs within the area but if they have to move out of
state, we'll follow wherever they go. Looking forward to
celebrating our 50th birthdays this year and our 30th
anniversary on August 4. Hopefully all the siblings from
Michigan will gather again in Caseville that weekend. It
is such a blast when we can be together. Kelly is
undergoing special treatment for her shoulder next week at
Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit to help her get use of her
right shoulder again. Pray for success!! Thanks for all
your love and support of all of us. With joyful hearts we
send out lots of hugs and kisses!! Gerry and Kelly

Author: gerryandkelly2@aol.comHi Joseph
Ok here's the low down. I am your second cousin in law. I
married your second cousin Jeff who is your uncle Gerry's
oldest son. Ask you're dad he'll explain:) If you are
truly interested in getting noticed, then you need to start
building good connections within your community and then
work your way up. Go to your local art association and ask
them about upcoming youth art competitions and exhibitions
and ask for them to put you on their newsletter (weekly
email list). That way you'll always know what's coming up
and be able to decide which shows are right for you.
Remember first impressions are everything, but be real and
true to yourself. God will handle the rest. I try to
remind myself daily that what I achieve could not be done
unless it were through God. Constructive Criticism is the
best tool you can receive. Ask people to be honest about
your work and then turn that information into a positive
way to improve yourself. You have a very likable
personality and you do good work. Just find others who
share that same feeling about you. I'm sure you'll do just
fine :) You are already off to a great start.

Author: tunergye@hotmail.comHappy B-day Sammy
Well, its Sammy's 9th b-day and hes going to go to Michigan tomorrow. Hes going to be there for
about 3 weeks. My mom just came back from a 2 week trip to Japan and brought lots of stuff. Lots of
cools stuff. I got a new suit and love it. Soo.. Onto my recent achievements in photography.
Recently, I entered 3 of my photos
(http://flickr.com/photos/picsfromjos/2521847332/
http://flickr.com/photos/picsfromjos/2462837643/
http://flickr.com/photos/picsfromjos/2462817263/in/photostream/ )
to the Orange County Fair and 2 came back with 1st place and the beer and trash had an honorable
mention. Yessss! W ^.^ W Its being displayed in the fair along with others and Im not sure, but
since they didn't ask for a printed copy, its probably being shown on a tv screen or on a wall. Im
Psyched! Anyways. Hopefully, the next time I have the chance, I will buy photography equipment (eg.
tripod, gorilla pod, maybe a better flash, lighting equipment [light painting] and the thing I
really wan the most! Hopefully I will raise enough money for a nikon d40 or cannon xti rebel....
(SLR cameras) But I highly doubt it.. I'll need to wait a REALLY long time..
I haven't added anything new in my photography to this so here are three of my best (my oppinion)
shots. If you want to see lots of the others and judge them to see if these shots were the best,
then go here. flickr.com/photos/picsfromjos
I need to get back into the light painting thing!

I was bored and had to wait for 4 other friends to come to El Monte Station where this was taken
from so that we could take a bus to Knotts. It was fun trying to get a ride from people... but once
we realized that no one was going to be able (this was a friday) the all we could take was bus.

After we took an hour and 3o minute bus ride, we got to Knotts and had some fun. This was one of the
many photos I took there. It was one of the hottest days in the year and it was surprisingly
crowded.. Well, at the water rides anyways. So we stayed away from them... which sorta killed us..
It hit 110°! I was ready for it.. A plain white T and shorts.. Comfy.. Haha
Oh thats really cool. Id love for some art scouts to check out my pictures and have them exibited.
Do you have any pointers for me (aunt/cousin?) Shelly?

Author: tunegye@hotmail.comSave the Date!
I wanted to share the news with everyone that I have sold
my first big time Art Gallery piece! I was recently
exhibiting at the Detroit Institute of Arts Scarab Club and
had driven out to pick up my artwork when I was pleasantly
surprised with the news of it being sold! To make things
even more exciting, there was a scout there from Projekt30-
a huge Gallery from the Ann Arbor area that has gone
nationwide online. Normally scouts just take down the
information from the piece and jot down a few notes if they
like it. But, according to the owner of the Gallery, the
scouts waited to speak with her about my work and to get as
much contact information about me as possible. They are
looking for 30 new artists to feature in an upcoming
exhibition. I am thrilled just to get the recognition.
With that being said, I wanted to remind everyone to please
save the date for July 13th and come visit me at my first
personal art exhibition at the Dodge Turner House in the
historic district in Lansing, MI. I am the only artist
featured and would love to have you drop by to visit and
keep me company:) You can check it out more at my website
www.shelleystevenson.com . I am also very excited for
Rachel's new talent discovery! I pray that it will be a
wonderful experience for her. And of course for all the
exciting new arrivals and wedding proposals that have come
into the family. I can't get over how blessed this family
is! Looking forward to seeing everyone soon and hopefully
on July 13th (1pm-5pm).

Author: Tuenrgye@hotmail.comO-Oh Say, Can You See...??!!
wanted to let y'all know I'll be singing the National Anthem this weekend
before the Dodgers' home game against the Cleveland Indians. that's right,
Dodger Stadium. honestly, I'm very excited about this. I looked it up and Fox
11 will begin coverage at 12:30. the game technically starts at 12:55. for
those of you NOT in the LA area, (which I believe is everyone but you and me,
Zip...) you can try going to www.myfoxla.com for a possible web cast. I'm not
sure if they broadcast the singing of the Anthem but if they do, you should
be able to catch it there. I guess they're having some big annual celebrity soft
ball game before the actual Dodgers game starts. should be a good time.
otherwise, my wife Rachel has started her own company, designing and
handcrafting personal tote bags. it all started when she hand-made a diaper
bag for my former romance, Miss Keri Russell as a baby shower gift. (my, how
grown up we've all become...) apparently, Keri was photographed on the
streets of New York carrying this ultra-RAD diaper bag and people started
asking about it. after some prodding, Rachel decided to go for it. her and a
friend started mass producing them and they now have a whole line of bags,
some even made of 100% sustainable materials, seeing that environmental
consciousness probably aint going anywhere anytime soon. (amen!) you can
check out her current creations at www.etsy.com. just type in Jen&Lucca in
the search field and it'll pull up the bags. we'll let you know when the new
line arrives.
hope everyone is doing wonderful and looking forward to an exciting
summer.
oh yeah! and check out www.myspace.com/tonylucca. I'm going on tour this
summer and I might be swinging by some of y'all. I've got the dates posted
there. if so, come say hello. you'll love the new record.
stay tuned. more shameless plugs to come. but hey, that's what family's for,
yes?
feel good!

to go natural but the baby never dropped down and after
being in the hospital from 6:00 am till 8:00 pm, the doctor

Author: jamg1971@aol.comAnna Ruth~N~Kids Signing On
Hello Everyone!!!
It's good to be back on here hahaha. I felt I should update like others cause I remembered
how much fun it is to keep up with the family. It's crazy how much growing up people have done! I'm
blessed to have such a beautiful family.....BREAK DOWN~*~ I now have 2 amazing children Kylee and
Cameron being a mom is ALOT of emotions in one..can we say rewarding but overwhelming lol.. I have
learned ALOT from my little ones they teach me the most each day HAHAH sometimes i feel they teach
me more than I teach them..
Kylee is my oldest she is so so so soooooo sassy...I thought she was 3 turning 4 but she
seems to think she's 3 turning 18. She is too smart for her own good sometimes but then again
sometimes it makes me laugh cause it surprises me.
Cameron is my baby boy. He has a heart of gold he is soooo sweet spirited. I LOVE IT!! He
is 1 about to be 2 and he still cuddles with me for a good 1/2 hour. I wish Kylee wanted to
cuddle... thats every once in a blue moon.
They both can sing like a song bird. It amazes me that they can carry a tune as good as
they do at their age. Kylee is learning to harmonize and Cameron has perfect pitch. We sing "our
house, is a very, very, very, fine house" every night after we pray before bedtime. It's the best
bonding time with my kids. I cherish it.
As for me I have been singing with my dad. I've been writing songs. Also I have been
recording in the studio. I'm starting to achieve my goals and aspirations in life. I'm very excited
and can't wait to hopefully make a career of my passion and what I do best. I've had a couple
producers check into me but... then again it seems to be the biggest waiting game to fame ever! lol
because soooo many people are talented too.
With that said here are a couple updated pictures in my little family's world

Author: JIs@windgifts.comJOHNNY, YOU'RE SO CLEVER
Johnny, you are so clever to pick just the right pictures at
just the right time! Sally missed her calling as an actress
and Tony did too. That picture brought back such a great
memory of just a year ago. Wish we all could have gone back
to Branson this year. How 'bout we all meet in Vegas for
Janie's birthday? The four of us (Jim, Jane, Brian & me)
will be there from October 29th through November 1st. Who
wants to join us? Speaking of Vegas, for some reason, Bill
looks like he's missing his two front teeth in that picture
and we know that's not true....just a little chipped, maybe.
It's been hotter than blazes here in Michigan this weekend.
I'm not complaining....I love summer. Sally and her
friends were celebrating Sally's birthday up in Caseville so
of course it was a nice, hot, perfect weekend. It was their
24th annual Caseville Crazies Weekend. Brian & I are
spending a lot more time up there this year because Brian
put his real estate license at the Caseville, Port Austin,
and Bad Axe Remax Co. We're really enjoying it. Wish you
all could come to our annual sibling weekend up there the
first weekend of August. Why is it we always have SO MUCH
FUN when we're together? It's because we all love each
other so much. Mom & Dad sure did teach us how to
love...among many other things.
Well, we're all just waiting for Sarah Jane to give birth to
Jack. I think she's overdue so let's all pray for a safe
delivery in the next few days. The family just keeps on
growing.
With my love to all of you, I'll sign off.

James [eldest of the twelve] and our son Jerry Roach and his
wife, Cindy have a son Nickolaus Roach. Nick just graduated
from Santa Rosa Junior College and will be going to
California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo
in September.
Nick and two of his friends decided to do a month long trip
to Japan and Thailand before going away to college and after
graduation getting a job.
They are staying at hostels and Nick set up a blog for us to
follow their trip. This is the letter I recieved from his
mom, Cindy Roach.
Hi everyone,
Just thought I would send you this link to Nick's blog site
where
the boys are posting comments about their trip to Japan and
Thailand. They left yesterday afternoon and arrived in Japan
safely about 11 hours later.
Before they left Nick set up this website so that they could
keep
us all informed on how they were doing and what they were doing.
His first post went up this morning.
They will be gone until July 1st. Feel free to keep tabs on them
and send them notes at this site:

I am amazed at this new technology and thought some of you
might like to check it out. There is a place you can leave
comments.
Joseph, I thought you especially would enjoy this.
Love you all,

it. Much more user friendly now. Please keep Jeff in your
prayers, He has been Teaching through Walled Lake Schools
but has been told that the teacher who was on maternity
leave is coming back. Unfortunately this means he will not
be with Walled Lake next year. Hopefully he will receive a
position through Waterford or South Lyon Schools. However,
if you hear of anything available somewhere else, even
outside of Michigan, please let us know. Physical
Education / Health is such a tough field to even find an
opening available in right now. Of course he is still
coaching everything - football, wrestling, track, cross
country and so on. As always it would be ideal for him to
be able to teach and coach. He has such a passion for
both. We will keep you posted if anything changes. Thank
you for your prayers in advance.

Author: stevensonfineart@yahoo.comThe "Telectroscope", London Pictures
Hello Everyone!
Big welcome to the Tony Lucca family! How cool to see you guys join the
circle letter fray!
A quick little note from Paris: I've just returned from Wales and England. A
buddy of mine that'd I'd known since 2003 passed away and so I went to
Wales to attend his funeral. While I was in England I took a bit of time to visit
London and my time there happened to coincide with the operation of a sort
of "telescope" between London and New York called the "Telectroscope"
(http://www.telectroscope.org). It was possible to see people
essentially full sized who were in New York through the device in real time
and communicate via signs (like a true telescope there was no audio). I met
up with a friend named Charlie earlier in the day and so we both went to see
it. I took a picture of him below using the mini-white board. The egg shaped
building in the first picture is the London City Hall. It was extremely cool as it
worked just like a real telescope, there was essentially no delay as the people
in New York would immediately respond to what our signs would say. At one
point I suggested to the folks in NY that we exchange numbers. We had been
signing back and forth with a group of youngish folks (who are in the round
image). The girl explained it was her birthday. So we exchanged numbers and
we called the number the girl gave. We sang her Happy Birthday and we all
busted up laughing as it was so funny to do such a thing over such a long
distance in real time with complete strangers! It was a very cool experience!

It sure has been a pleasure to see all of these great photos. I've just made
archive #10 so this page should load slightly more rapidly.
It's been a pleasure to see the "artsy" photos too like the "Wonka" images and
Joseph's light art pictures.
Ok, time for bed...
Love to everyone and Happy Birthday to everyone who's had one since the last
time I added a letter (there's so many of them!)

time painting the sets too! She got to do a lot of the detail work, like the shop
windows and the fizzy lifting drinks lettering, we've been
having a ball.
Saturday and Sundy afternoons have sold out, and there are less than 30 tickets
left for Saturday evening and Sunday evening, which

It's show time for Dillon and Emilie. This weekend they
are in the musical Willie Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory. From what Jeanne and I have seen and helped with
set building and painting this is going to be a very fun
show. Dillon is a lead Oompa Loompa and Emilie is a
chourus "Oompa" as they are calledin show biz talk. The
costumes look great, songs and dance numbers are nearly
there and Dillon and Emilie soon look forward to the
orange make-up and green hair! I wonder how long that
will take to come out!! : ) They are getting excited. So
if anyone would like to see the show, (these productions
are so well done, they amaze me), it is this weekend May
16-18, Friday night, and 2 shows Saturday and Sunday.
There will be lots of singing and dancing, flying actors
and great sets. If you want to come here is the link
www.everafterproductions.org, in Canton, MI at the Cherry
Hill Theater.
We'd love to see you! If you are able to come let us know
and we'll be sure to find you. We are going to see it,
from the audience, Sunday at 2pm, the other shows we'll
most likely be back stage.
Love you, we'll post pictures soon!

sure how it would work, but its a try. All of my friends have been persuading me to do stuff with my

have some tips for me?

Author: Tunergye@hotmail.comFamily tree info
I do have a list, ok it's actually an access data base of all (I think) of the names
and birthdays, addresses and many phone numbers for the Stevenson family.
I've had some ask me not to post this web site, because it could be accessed, so
to respect all our privacy, it is most likely too much info to "freely" publish, so if
you would like a copy in excel or work, send an e-mail to me at
tstevens@visteon.com and I'll be happy to send it out to you.

Author: thomaspaul@wowway.comA Song For Moms
Hey Mary,
Your request for a song for Mother's day reminded me that
one of Mom's (Grandma's) favorite songs was "Something
Wonderful" from the musical The King and I.
I played around with the lyrics a bit to have it relate to
Moms.
Here's the first pass:
Something Wonderful
This is for Mom who thinks with her heart,
Her heart is always wise.
This is for Mom who’s not always right,
But this is for Mom who tries.
This is for Mom who forgives and forgives,
And loves you as long as she lives...
She may not always do
What you would have her do,
But when you need her most she'll do
Something
Wonderful.
She has a thousand dreams
That won't come true,
She knows that you believe in them
And that's enough for her.
She'll always go along,
Defend you when you’re wrong
And tell you when you’re strong
She is
Wonderful
She'll always
Need your love
And so just give your love.
A Mom who needs your love
Is
Wonderful.
With all the wordsmiths and tunesmiths in the family you
might be able to tweak it into something you could use.
Just a thought.
Love,
Dan
(Brother, Uncle, Great Uncle, Great, Great Uncle, Terrific
Uncle, Dad & Grampa)

Author: rockets23@embarqmail.comGreat Idea!
I think that a family tree book would be sooooooooo great
to have! Erin and I were discussing that the other day.
The family is so close and there are so many people that
when you marry into the family it is so easy to get names
and faces confused. I would love to have a copy of a
family tree with pictures to go with each name. I know it
would take a patient person and a lot of time to make this
happen, but if you asked me to help I would! I have a
large family too and I still sometimes meet someone new
that I've never known I was related to. Also I wanted to
let all of you know that I just found out that some of my
artwork has been accepted for the Detroit Institute of Art
Scarab Club "Blooms, Bugs and Beasts" Art Exhibition! It
will be held during the Detroit Art Fair so if you'll be in
the area for that be sure to check out the exhibition as
well. The exhibition begins on May 21st and lasts for a
month. The scarab club is located at 217 Farnsworth
Detroit, MI 48202. Keep me in your prayers! All of my
success has definitely been through the glory of God.

Author: jimnjane@comcast.netWe need a family tree...
Joseph... you are so right... sometimes as the 1st
generation of Stevensons it's easy to forget that as we
grow and grow...even our own relatives might not know who
we are... so I will try to help you relate to "Aunt Nancy"
( or anyone else that I can for that matter :) ) Your
Grampa James's brother Danny the 6th child of Great Gramma
Eunice and Great Grampa Jimmie is married to Nancy... your
Grampa James also has a sister named Nancy too... so that
can get confusing.. but she is Nancy Hussey now~
I'll try to remember to include the last names in
my entries in the future as well.... hopefully that helped
a little...
we really DO need a family tree... maybe I'll try to work
on that and send one out to each family...
Can't wait to see you again in person along with all your
cousins and your brothers and your Mom and Dad... it has
been too long! Let's hope for another STEVENSON reunion

this is the first time I have ever entered an art or poetry
competition and I am already being recognized! God has
definitely blessed our family. As far as the online

Hello Everybody...
I have found footage from 2003 of my dad and Bob
Anderson and you can clearly see my dad playing the piano.
Go to www.bobanderson.com and you will be able to speed up
the video to the 3:37 point if you want to cut to the
chase. Dad plays to the end of this concert footage. (It
is a little over 8 mins long in total)This would be
Brother Bill, Uncle Billy, and great uncle and 'dad' for
four of us... Also it has Bob doing all of his recent
impressions. For those of you who did not go to Branson, I
wanted to inform you of this video, as opposed to still
photos.
Love,
Lisa
PS The culprit is JOSEPH who is guilty of oftentimes not
signing his name! FYI Aunt Suzanne...

JOSEPH I enjoyed your photos so much, especially the Los Angeles City Hall. It
looks so heroic. I think it is the angle and the two flags.
I would love to see custom car photos. I think LA is still the custom car capital
of the world.
I think you have a future in photography. Do you take photography classes at
your school?
Also I love the photo of Terry and Chris starring in their own movie.
James is slowly setting up the wind chime business and looking forward to a
great summer.
Hope everyone is healthy and happy.
Love you all so much,

Author: jjnk@bellsouth.netVoting for art
It has come to my attention that voting on

expected.:) So here is some help I can offer you. First,
you will have to register on to the website. Don't worry
it is free and doesn't involve giving out any personal

don't vote twice. Second, public voting will not take
place until the final voting occurs which is now beginning
on April 22nd. Below is the information that the webiste
has given me in regards to voting. So sorry for the
inconvenience that this may have caused you. Please feel
free to email me with any further questions. Thanks again!
Hello there,
Voting to the public occurs during final voting, which
opens after the preliminary voting stage. Once voting
opens, there will be a link to the voting from the showdown
page. Only registered members of our community can vote.
Once they are logged in, they can vote in the forum where
there will be a poll with the finalists.
I hope this answers your question.
all the best,

Author: jimnjane@comcast.netThe Stevenson Legacy
I remember when I would come over to Gramma and Grampas house every
Thanksgiving! I would play hall hockey with Mike Stevenson. We had so
much fun. Uncle Tom's family would have to leave early and I would be so
bummed out. However, Gramma would bring out more desert with Ice Cream
and I would sit at the table in the breakfast room, near the old phone with all
the adults and feel very special. After that I would go to sleep where Uncle
John, Uncle Terry, and Uncle Gerry would sleep. Aunt Janie slept in the small
room, Aunt Sally and Aunt Mary would sleep in the corner room. I remember
Gramma making 6 lunch bags in the morning, make me a hot hard boiled
egg, make coffee for Grampa and never, ever, complain about anything! I
was at that house many, many, mornings when School was happening and
Gramma was just a machine.
It is truly amazing to me that I would be at Gramma and Grampa's house so
many times when 6 (half) of our Aunts and Uncles were still in School!!!
I remember asking Uncle John what he was going to do after he graduated
from High school. (I was in 1st grade.) I asked him specificly if he was going
to college. ( I over heard other adults talking about whether John was going
to college or not.) When Uncle John told me no, I remember thinking, I'm not
going to college either!
I remember Uncle Terry asking my Dad for a loan to buy a 10 speed bike to
drive to Toronto! Uncle Terry cut his hair short and I was sad he was leaving.
Earlier, I remember asking Uncle Terry how old he was and him telling me he
was 11! He would always play Kung Foo with us!
Then (if your still reading this)out of nowhere Uncle Jimmy, (later to be called
Uncle James) would show up and take us all up to Michael Mountain and play
those incredible floots!
Of Coarse Uncle Bobby would always come home and surprise Gramma!!
Uncle Danny is my God Father and Uncle Billy taught me how to play Rocket
Man!
A. I remember telling Mike that I wish my last name was Stevenson!!
B. My Mom is the greatest Stevenson of all!!
I am happy to be a Boudreau, but the Stevenson Legacy is the greatest!!!

Hey Uncle John and Aunt Joy!! It took along time for a response, however, I wanted you to know how much that photo means to me!!
That is exactly how I remember you both!! Anyway, I cant believe It was right before Grampa's 70th Birthday Party that I was in
Alabama, moving to Michigan. I had that Dodge car that cost me 275 and we thought is was so expensive. My Oldest boys were 3
and 2 and Deidre and I were going to try to do well in Michigan.
The best trip to Alabama was when Deidre and I were in High School and we watched the 10 commandments at your house. 1981!
Then my budy from the Navy, Tom Graves and I and one other person came in the Fall of 1982! Remember? That other person's
dad died on his tractor! He stayed back. That was so sad.
Anyway, my email is JB@skyboxtravel.com
email me and let me know when I can come out!
The picture is of my girlfriend and I at her 30th birthday party. Her name is Heather. I met Heather in 2003! We started dating the
summer of 2006!
Anyway, email me and let me know!!!

These photo's are off a VHS tape I got from Tom and
Esther, while it was playing on the tv...I
tried to pause it, but the distortion was too bad, so I
just had to snap while it was running..
I'm going to try and get this tape put on a CD, and maybe
then I can pause it exactly where I want
it, instead of waiting till it got where I wanted and hope
it would snap at the right time...If I
can make this work, you won't believe how many cool photo's
I'll get...The first one was taken at
Tom and Esther's wedding (you still look the same James)

Hello Everybody,
The "NEW" Circle Letter is a wonderful and true
Family Project.
I thank Scott who has been working so hard to make
the Circle Letter a great and special place for our family.
Much thanks goes to everyone that has and is
supporting the Circle Letter.
Especially Bob who's Idea got the ball rolling
behind the scene for the fund raiser.
Dan (who is my hero) who worked his butt off to
make the Circle Letter support Raffle work so well!
And I would be remiss if I didn't thank the anonymous
donor that put the Circle Letter raffle over the top!
Some of us have been luckier then others, for
instance the winners of the raffle.
But the luckiest one of all is our family for the joy
and happiness this living letter brings.
Thank you dearly for adding your letters, picture
and love to the Circle Letter.
Last but not least, lets not forget Esther Tom
and the Amish who came up with this idea in
the first place.
I love you so much.
James

Author: gorecop@aol.com"Marshall"ing the Big City of Lights!
Well what a great treat it was to have a visit from Kathy and Katie Marshall (and crew) who recently came to town as part of a class
trip. Although their time here was a bit limited they did manage to squeeze in an evening where I could join them and others who
were here as part of trip organized for Katie's French class. I met them near the Notre Dame and then proceeded to take them on
a brief tour of a part of the Latin Quarter. It was great fun and a big pleasure to play the tour guide and show off some of the
sites found in that part of Paris. Kathy had explained to me when we were setting up our meeting that their group hadn't eaten
and explained they'd like to find a place and offered to treat me to a meal. So as we walked along we decided we'd try to find a
place that could accommodate us (we were about 14-15 all together). We found a nice place just up a street from the Fontaine St.
Michel (found in the Latin Quarter) and had a delicious dinner (where we took some photos below). Afterwards we continued on
our walking tour and I took them by one of Europe's oldest continuously open restaurants (Le Procope which opened in 1686) a
restaurant that had been frequented by the likes of Benjamin Franklin and Robespierre. From there I asked if there were any
"DaVinci Code" fans in the bunch and suggested we walk over to the front of the Saint Sulpice Church featured in the story. Folks
liked that idea and so we proceeded to a plaza overlooked by the church where we took some more photos (below).

To uncle Dan, thank you very much for organizing the Circle Letter support raffle! Thank you to everyone who particpated and
congratulations to the cash prize winners!
To all of our artists, very impressive works! It is such a great pleasure to be able to share such images now with the new and
improved circle letter!
To Joseph, I'm looking forward to seeing your light writing techniques. :-)
Welcome to Aunt Sally, Uncle Tony and Gary Hull (and family) to the photo contributor's club! That is so cool to see you guys
adding your pictures! Your boys are very handsome Gary, you must be quite a proud father.
With love for everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter with your families

I was just thinking.
The picture of Mom & Dad (Grandma & Grampa) has been
on the home page of the Family Circle Letter for about ten
years now.
I suggest it's time for a change.
What could be more appropriate for this great big musical
family than the picture of Mom & Dad sitting at the
piano and singing - with a halo around them (even more
appropriate) from the camera's flash?
Also, the halo proves, once and for all, that Dad
truly "married and angel."
All those in favor?
Love,
Dan

Author: jjnk@bellsouth.netHappy Holy Week
As we all get prepared for Easter I want to tell those of us in Michigan
(thought we'd love to have any out of towners!!) about a great event taking
place at our church this week. it is the Shroud of Turin Exibit (replica). The
Shroud of Turin is held by numerous scholars including theologians,
scientists, forensic pathologists, historians, archeologists and millions of
faithful to be the actual burial cloth of Jesus. This replica exhibit, including
displays and video will be availabe for self-guided viewing. You can spend as
much time as you are able and experience this treasure of our faith all Holy
Week right in Plymouth! (Kids under 15 need to be accompanied by an adult.)
The location is Our Lady of Good Counsel Church 47650 North Territorial
Road, Plymouth 734-459-9893. This is right off the Beck road exit from
m-14, south of the freeway on the NE corner of Beck and North Territorial.
There is no cost! All are welcome, bring your friends.
Call us if you'd like to meet us! We'd love it.
If you have not seen it, it is awesome. Jeanne and the kids and I will be going
Friday or Saturday. The Shroud exhibit will be open Holy Thursday
9am-12pm, 4pm-7pm and 9pm-11:30pm. Good Friday 10am-4pm, Holy
Saturday 12pm-8pm and Easter Sunday 7am-2pm.
Also for those who have enjoyed the homilies I occasionally send, from our
friend Fr. John, these are available anytime at www.olgcparish.net to read or
print, see Fr. John's page and in the new technology age we are in the are also
on podcast at http://frjohnriccardo.libsyn.com/ awesome to listen to, Fr.
John also has a variety of talks he has given as well.
I hope everyone is doing well, we are all doing fine here in good old
Plymouth.
Happy Holy week to you all and we wish you a very Blessed Easter!

Hmm.... What art is that supposed to be (the one below),
Making/refurbishing great cars, or taking
photos?

Author: jimnjane@comcast.netJeanne's art
For those who want to see some of Jeanne's art, here is
the website link for her greeting cards business.
She is doing well with this, growing slow and steady. She
is now in over 30 stores nationwide and even recently in
Guam!
www.cardsforhisglory.com
She does all the photography, verses, research on the
historical teachings and of course the design and layout.
The website will be updated again soon, further breakdown
into other categories and she is working on new cards as
well.
Hope all is well with everyone. Easter is coming....
God Bless us all, Love Tommy

Author: tstevens@visteon.comWhat about the other artists?
It's so nice to see so much talent! I am a HUGE cat lover,
so I absolutely love your artwork Joy. You truly have
captured your inner realist with the detail in your persian
cat. But what about our other artists? I would love to
see what they have, wether it be drawing and painting,
sculpting, musical interests, singing, dancing or
whatever! I'm curious to see what will be posted next week
for "Stevenson's Got Talent"!

Author: stevensonfineart@yahoo.comSECRET ARTISTS!
What's going on here? All these secret artists! I'm in
awe that I've known you, Joy, for over 30 years and I
never knew you had these drawings. Are they displayed in
your house? The persian cat is amazing. Sometimes, when
we get into our sixties, (especially because of Mom) we
often think our mind is starting to go. I don't want to
think that I forgot you were an artist. And James, I love
that star you created; it's very intriguing. I knew you
were a sculptor; I haven't seen much of your other art
work.
So, we have Suzanne, Shelley, Joy, Mary, young Nancy,
T.J., Sarah just to name a few of the Stevenson family
artists. This is amazing. And thanks to the new circle
letter, we are enjoying all these exhibitions, all the
pictures, and all the family history.
I'm lovin' it. Nancy

Author: bhnhr12@comcast.netArt of Joy !
When Joy and I first moved to Cullman (almost 30 years ago)
Joy was into drawing with colored pencil
She liked drawing cats....I had to take a picture of these
drawings to get them in the computer, so
some of the texture is lost, but I'm sure you'll get the
general idea....She drew these from
photo's in a magazine....

Hello Everybody,
The image above is a Acrylic Painting

by Shelly and her beautiful work.
The title is:

Shelly:
I'm sure none of us had any idea what an awesome artist
you are! I knew of your talent when you created our album
cover "Created to Worship You" but now the secret is out!
I can't wait to see more in the upcoming events. How
precious that you have Jesus holding a little blonde child
in His arms.
What a family.....filled with musicians and artists and
just great people!
Love, Aunt Nancy

Author: stevensonfineart@yahoo.comHumbled
I am blessed by a very wonderful aunt ( not aunt-in-law)
named Mary! She has put me high on a pedastal and on cloud
nine with her humbling remarks. As per her request, I
would like to share with all of you my hidden talent of
artistry :) Hopefully this will inspire other artists in
the family to share their joy of art as well. I look
forward to seeing your great talents! I do have some
exhibitions at the Dodge-Turner House in Lansing on July
13th and December 7th and other artists are welcome to
exhibit with me. It would be great to have family there!
I am also entered in a Poem and Art Contest in Milford on
April 26th. Keep me in your prayers! God Bless our family.

Wow!! It is very ironic that you happen to have the worst connection (ie: dialup)
and yet you're the one doing all this great uploading!!
This last bunch (family classics) is soooooo awesome! What treasures you've
shared with us all! That's so funny I remember that painting of the clown very
vividly. As a child I could particularly appreciate that type of art!
I don't have a bunch of time to write out a good long letter but I wanted to
quickly send out belated happy birthdays to the following folks:
Happy 18th Birthday to Anthony Gonzales, Happy 21st Birthday to Erin
Boudreau, Happy 39th Birthday to Debbie Stevenson, Happy 67th to Esther (are
we supposed to be mentioning birthdays like this one??? hehe), Happy Four Oh
to Lou Boudreau!!!!
Welcome back to the Circle letter Jimmy Boudreau (and family).
Love from the city of light,
-Scott

Hi Jimmy, I am honored that you would say you miss me
the most....the last time you were here, I
made you and Diedra sleep in separate bedrooms....now
that's a long time ago... I can't ever
remember you being on the Circle Letter ...I also can't
believe your kids are all grown
up...your one son reminds me of Jeff Stevenson. This
picture is somewhere between 30 and 35 years
ago....I remember how much fun we always had when you were
around...I still can't believe your Mom
let you ride on my motorcycle sitting in front of me (how
dangerous)...that's even more dangerous
than me holding Sally Anne on my lap in my 71 Pontiac...But
didn't we have fun!! Please send me an
e-mail so we can start planning on your coming to Alabama
this summer...(we have a lake that's 50 miles long)
and the weather gets real nice very soon ( we've been 79
degrees already)
Much love and with Joy
Uncle John
