Christmas 2006

Dear Friends & Family:

No formal Christmas letter this year, just a short note to wish you Happy Holidays and a Merry New Year.

It’s been a relatively uneventful year in Eugene. No major travels, except a trip to the Niagara area of Canada to spend a week with Deb’s family. We’ve enjoyed several day trips around the beautiful Oregon countryside, and a weekend trip to Seaside on the northern Oregon coast. We also enjoyed a weekend in Portland last summer for the city’s annual Jazz Fest nestled along the sunny banks of the Willamette River.

On the work front, Debra was promoted to nursing supervisor at the Willamette Valley Cancer Center, and Eric has been writing and producing a children’s television series called Nanna’s Cottage. In September, Eric hosted a Star Trek 40th Anniversary event in conjunction with the Eugene Celebration and the city’s annual film festival.

We’ve both enjoyed the opportunity to spend more birthdays, anniversaries and various holidays with Eric’s family. We also enjoyed a visit from our California friends Janet and Larry Nemecek, who stopped in for a visit during their summer vacation, which gave us an excuse to visit one of Oregon’s foremost wineries, King Estate, which is located just outside of Eugene.

We hope this note finds you happy and healthy in the New Year!

Best Wishes Always,

Eric & Debra
