Burke Kiger '66, sends greetings

Wishing you all the joys of Christmas time,
Jack is finishing his Masters in Architecture at NDSU. He accepted a new job with the Air Force as a civilian architect. He will start June 1, and be in the Pensacola, FL at Eglin Air base. Whoopee! Christmas 2009 in Florida.
Tom is working on his PhD at the U of M. He loves watching Gopher basketball. He plays golf, lives near campus and rides his bike most days. His mom is so impressed that he is presenting 2 papers at the national conference. (She wonders why she didn’t learn to publish or perish?)
Katy is still working at North Central University as an assistant registrar and event planner. But, not for long. . . Jan 19, 2009 she will begin a new journey to South Africa. She will spend eleven months in missionary leadership, with field training with Thrive Africa.
Nancy is still employed at Douglas County Hospital. There is a rumor that a non-profit agency will be taking over in the spring, but she is going with the flow. She is hoping to visit Katy during family week in Africa. Plans for parents include a Safari.
I am still working, but it is nice to know I can quit whenever! My actual retirement date will be sometime in the next six months, so this is my last Christmas at the Post Office. Nancy likes my three pronged retirement plan golf, golf, and more golf.
The Kigers
May the joy of the season be yours the whole year through.
