Richard,

So great to hear from you. Just wait, you will find retirement the best job
you ever had.

I would love to have you and Jane visit us in Auburn on the way to South
Carolina. Although our home is very small you are welcome to come and stay
with us when you come through Auburn.

I want to solicit your help with a genealogy project. All of us in Group 5
in the Couch DNA seem to reach back to Thomas and Elizabeth Couch in
Brunswick County (now Lunenburg) Virginia as early as 1720. Now I am not
certain how your folks connect to them but they must. This fall, I would
like to start a task force and concentrate on one Couch Family each quarter
and try and get eveyone on board to really dig out some more information on
that person and reach back at least another generation or two. I have a
dozen names of Couch folks in Virginia in the seventeenth and early
eighteenth Centuries in the colonies and if we all work together at one time
perhaps we can get a breakthrough. Would you join me in this endeavor? We
can use the CouchGenWeb and other sites to get help.

Look forward to seeing you. Right now engaged in a hobby/business of
photographing 19th century Alabama wooden churches. Last year we produced a
calendar featuring these old churches. Having a grand time.

Keep in touch,
Bob Couch

Cousin Bob,
I read your reply to Ellen and thought I'd write. Was Malinda you wife?
I retired from teaching at Oral Roberts University in May of 2004. As other
retirees had warned, I too have been busier in retirement than when teaching
at ORU and at Athens College in Alabama. We recently moved into University
Village Retirement Center. When we sell our property to our youngest
daughter
who teaches Chemistry at ORU, the only property Jane and I will then own are
cemetery plots in Floral Haven Cemetery.
Jane and I are thinking about making a trip to Savannah and Charleston
with stops along the way sometime this fall or winter. One of those stops
along
the way could be in Auburn to see cousin Bob and to revisit Auburn
University
where I obtained my doctorate. I have always appreciated the training and
experience I garnered while at Auburn. I was treated very well. Our eldest
daughter, now 40, was born at Opelika County Hospital.
In what area of Oklahoma did your relatives move?
cousin Richard of Tulsa
