Lead with Humility Serve with Love Trust in Providence
 Mr. Wagner's Letter
Greetings!
Over the Labor Day weekend, we had the opportunity to travel to Nashville, Tennessee to visit my daughter Mary, her husband Matt, and our grandson, Joseph. It is always great to see them, especially since Joseph is changing so much everyday. It is nice to see pictures on Facebook, but it does not compare to seeing him in person. Joseph, 18 months old, had learned a number of new tricks since we had seen him last and his parents were anxious to have him show off.
