Guest guest Posted August 21, 2000 Report Share Posted August 21, 2000 Hey, Laurie! I have 4 children(ages 17,12,10 & 7)two boys and two girls. I am a children's minister for a Methodist church. I am also the director for the preschool at our church. My family came to Bucyrus four years ago...they went to the bratwurst festival and to cedar point. I had just had major back surgery and had to stay home, but one of these days we will be going back! My DH Chuck has many cousins and an Aunt and Uncle there. I am still jazzed up to know you will be having MGB on the same day...Will let you know when I get the " final answer " Tami PS~ I may see if I can change my clinic to 9am since I would rather be there with someone I am acquainted with.
