EMO's grand daughter Annie Quigley Coley (and Hubbie Mike) just wrote in with some family news about their kids Mike & Catie Coley:

"Mike works for The Pinnacle Group in Virginia Beach, VA where he sells employee benefit packages to businesses. He also valet parks at a restaurant on the beach on weekends during the summer for pocket money. He lives about 1/2 mile from VB and enjoys surfing, and camping in the Outer Banks. He loves Irish music, and was sorry to miss the St Pats party. (He was baptized in St Patricks!) Catie graduated from Old Dominion University in May 2002. She is an RN (just passed the exam two weeks ago) and works in the Pediatric ICU at the Hospital of the Kings Daughters in downtown Norfolk, Va. She is also a beach lover (but not a surfer) and spends her free time relaxing there. She lives near the Norfolk Naval Base."

And how about some more Adirondack photos?  Mary O'Donnell Montague's Clan has gotten so big, we had to shoot two pictures to get them all in!  Actually, they arrived in two shifts on the 26th & 27th (for the pictures & snappy shirts we thank EMO's grand-daughter Ellen Montague Murphy Flynn)!
