Mom and Dad Brown are both doing well. Mom Brown is retired but is very busy with teaching Bible studies and keeping up with Notre Dame football. Dad Brown is still an internal consultant with The Ohio State University's Human Resources area, where he is helping to redesign OSU's medical plans as well as working on organizing a coalition of all the public employers in Ohio to do group purchasing of medical benefits for employees. He is planning to go from full time back to part time in 2004, which will make it easier for Mom and Dad to travel back across the pond once or twice during the year!

Mandi and Kevin (and "child" Lily) are also doing well. Their big project of the year was finishing the basement in their house -- making it into a full multi-media TV/film room! Mandi is still a Senior Account Executive with The Weinstein Organization and is doing very well. Kevin is still with FTD as the main support person and developer for new features for the FTD website dedicated to florists. We look forward to seeing them in Chicago in 2004!
