Christmas Letter
King Family News for 2022
Our very best belated Christmas Greetings to you and your family. Here is the BIG NEWS of the YEAR: Two of our sweet daughters gave us healthy grandsons! Sierra and Tyler's son Andre was born November 21. Hannah and Ryan's son Laken arrived December 20. What joy for all of us. What life-changing adventure for their parents!
Other news includes Rylee graduating from high school and going off to college, leaving Ronda and Art with an Empty Nest – the first time since 1983 with no children living at home.
In June Ronda and I joined Rylee and the WWVA orchestra in a music tour in Vienna and Prague. Later we sailed and camped in the San Juan Islands. In September we boated to Stehekin.
In December the family celebrated Brenden completing a degree in Finance from the University of Memphis. He has plans for more school ahead.
This winter we are helping resettle a war refugee family from Odessa, Ukraine. Wonderful, brave people.
Children are in Fremont MI (Elissa and family) Memphis TN (Brenden and Moeko) Colombia and traveling (Bethani) Medford OR (Hannah and Ryan and Laken) Walla Walla WA (Sierra, Tyler with Vienna and Andre, Ian, Taylor, Caleb, Willa) Newberg OR (Rylee)
