The Hughes Family State of Affairs for 2008

I continue to work at Rockwell Collins, Inc. and Beverly is now the Minister at West Fork Presbyterian Church, Grand Prairie TX

This year Beverly changed churches. After 6 years of visiting each other, she left Commerce TX and is now at Grand Prairie TX. The benefit - we are living in the same place. It was difficult to leave Commerce as Beverly was a central figure in the town (through a number of organizations) and we had many friends there. We had some plans but they didn't work out. It came time to make other plans.

2007 came to a sad ending with the death of both of our mothers. Beverly's in Nov. and mine in Dec.

Our careers made milestones as Beverly has been an Ordained Presbyterian Minister for 20 years and I have worked for Collins for 35 years.
