Movers and Shakers


Straight from Columbus, Ohio on Feb. 14, 2012, Dave and Lois Zoll were the recipients of the Joined Hearts in Giving 2012 award by the Ohio Department of Aging. Criteria included being over age 60, married for at least 40 years and sharing a commitment to volunteerism. Director Bonnie Kantor-Burman and Ohio First Lady Karen Kasich flank Dave and Lois at the Governor's residence in Columbus, Ohio.

This blog may be biased, but we think Dave and Lois are by far the cutest and most outgoing couple (and the most deserving!) The link below takes you to the website that has the pictures and descriptions of each of the 17 couples honored. CONGRATULATIONS!
BTW, the 17 couples honored have logged more than 900 years of marriage!!!)

Another news worthy event - Anne is pictured on the "big screen" at the Washington and Lee Mock Convention held this past weekend. Anne was introducing Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia in the photo. Zach was the political chair of the event - and there have been rave reviews for every aspect. Congrats to Zach and Anne for the extraordinary effort and outstanding results. The link below has everything you might want to know about the historic Mock Con.

Speaking of movers - C2C has purchased and moved into their own office building/warehouse this past weekend as well. It's an awesome space with great curb appeal, and the equipment has already started to roll in. Photos will be forthcoming.

And finally - one more shaker! Jim's sister, Mary Lou, along with her husband, Andy, will be attending the upcoming academy awards. They will actually be walking the red carpet and attending the awards dinner for the winners after the presentation. We want a picture, Mary!

Augie - November 30, 2011


Today we said a very sad farewell to Augie whose unconditional love we enjoyed for over 14 years. During the past year, and particularly during the past several months, old age rapidly diminished Augie’s quality of life. His hearing and sight were drastically reduced; he suffered from severe arthritis and dementia. We made the difficult decision to let him rest in peace. But we did so in celebration of his wonderful companionship over these many years.

We’ll always remember Augie the Doggie for his energy and passion for chasing squirrels, dancing for cheese, taking walks and riding in the car. We’ll even remember fondly his interaction with skunks!

Thank you, Augie, for all the fun and many terrific memories!

Barb, Jim and Carly
