Erin and Marc in NH

Hi All!

Hope all is well with you! Marc and I have enjoyed our first year of being homeowners, and no longer find ourselves visiting Lowe's every weekend!

We just got back from a trip to the Bahamas - celebrating the fact that I survived my first year as a first-grade teacher! Marc continues to do well as a sports reporter at New Hampshire's Union Leader. In his first year there, he's covered high school football, wrestling and lacrosse, and is hoping to get down to the Little League World Series again. Of course he's really waiting for his chance to cover the Red Sox - but we're being patient.

This summer, we're hanging out poolside and enjoying a little downtime. If anyone is in New England, we'd love to hear from you! Love to everyone - Erin

Stevie, Kim, Zach & Augie Sneed

Hey everyone! Sneed family "update"- We live in Moseley Va. about 25 miles west of Bon Air (where Kim and I both grew up). Zach, our oldest, is now 16 and stands about 6' 1", going into the 11th grade and will be SCA President, he is a member of FCCLA, runs cross country and track for Powhatan High School and is involved in alot of church activities and can drive now yea!!!. Spare time is spent reading, playing soccer, mountain biking, swimming, snow skiing, chasing a girl or two.... Augie is now 13 and looking eye level with me, going into 9th grade. Plays soccer all the time, has a girl friend (going on two years now!), did I mention he plays soccer all the time- wake boarding, snow skiing, swimming and hanging out with his many friends. Kimberly enjoys reading in every spare moment, still a faithful partimer for the Post Office - spends the majority of her time driving kids to and fro and I recently talked her into playing soccer with me on a coed team - she also loves snow skiing with the kids! I'm still with Crenshaw-Singleton Properties, managing commercial real estate, spare time is spent on the soccer field (playing and coaching), pre 1840 reenacting (mountainy man stuff), bow hunting, black powder hunting and doing stuff either around our house or on our property in Buckingham County. If any of you are ever down our way please know your welcome anytime!! Stevie.

Swanyville Studio

Hi all! If working and raising 2 kiddies isn't enough, I've taken on another challenge...selling some of my crafts. Here's the link to my on-line store through etsy.com. There will be more items listed soon. Please keep this in mind for any baby gifts you might need. I've been giving them as gifts for awhile now, and have had very positive feedback.

We have a Wedding Date!!!

Meghan and Blake have set their Wedding Date----May 17th, 2008----so pencil into your datebook this potential Trombold party. It will most likely be held near Nashville, Tennessee on Blake's Parents Farm but we will be certain to keep you posted.

Rob is recovering nicely from some recent surgery, going to Hawaii for 14 days certainly helped in his recovery too.

Casey is home for the summer and working once again at TEPCO in Mars with her Dad and Uncle Paul.

All in all Life is Good!!!

Hugs to all---Deb, Rob, Meg and Casey

I briefly spoke with Martha on Monday, to make sure Jenna (currently enrolled at Virginia Tech) was safe. I hope this posts, but the main idea is to wear maroon & orange on Friday to show support for students, families and everyone touched by this tragedy.

VPI

Jeannie and I are in earnest empahy and prayers with each and all of you who have very longtime and personal connections with VPI. We are ahocked and grieved to hear of the current "enslaught" but know that the strong traditions and loyalties of the VPI community will pull together to overcome the dreadful occurance(s). Blessings to VPI, alums and widespread admirerers.

Easter Joy

Fond Greetings to ALL for a Holy, Happy Easter . . . and EVERYday.
With love from Jeannie and Bill

hey family

well hey everyone

I am just testing this whole blog thing out. hehe its Jenna and not Martha (even though I am writing on her name) I am home for Easter weekend and an interview for an internship and thought this would be a great way to avoid doing any homework!! I hope that I have figured this thing out. She doesn't know I have set her up, but she has been asking me to look at it for awhile!

Love you all and miss you!! I think we definitely need a reunion!!

Jenna----writing as Martha!

Hi

Hi again, just testing this out!! You may never hear from me again!!

Mary Lee's Update

Mary Lee
Yeah!!!!! Got help, so here I am! Rebecca's here. We are having fun. We are getting together with several family members, Jeanne came, spent night, laughed alot, went to Surry and had lunch at the Surry House, then on to Stevie's rendevous, where he is a mountain man for a weekend. His T-Pee is wonderfully set up, with all of the luxuries of home, including his own personal moonshine! Made a pie this morning to take to Bobby and Diane's for dinner tonight, and other fun things to do until Sunday morning when she goes home.I am Mary Lee Trombold Sneed. I was born in Iola, Kansas. I am daughter of Robert and Jean Trombold, sister to Robert Trombold, Jeannie Hoey, and Tom Trombold. I was married to Sonny Sneed for 33 years, now divorced, living in Richmond, Virginia. Mother of six children, Bobby, Rebecca, Tommy, Jeanne, Sandra and Stevie! Grandmother of seven grandchildren, Heather, Vanessa, Stephen, Matthew, Evan, Zach and Augie. Greatgrandmother of two greatgrandchildren, Emma Lee and Jacob Benjamin.It is wonderful that Stacey came up with this idea, and I am thrilled to finally be a part of it. Going back to Christmas time, Rebecca made it possible for me to see Aunt Jeannie and Uncle Bill, which was long overdue, and it was so nice to see them again, just too short! Speaking of seeing people, it would be nice to see the family at a reunion if we can pick a central location! It will be fun to read everyone's notes! I look forward to keeping up with everyone!! So keep the good news coming! Talk to you later,Love, Mary Lee

Proofreader's Adjustment

Sorry folks . . . .it would have helped to have "WHO" included in the following first-paragraph of my 3/15 Blogging. Like here . . . .

"Since I'm not sure who has already been forced to endure my boast about having the second (Hoey side) cousin who is becoming QUITE the Jazz Man, here goes on a time-sensitive boast and headzup."

My apology,
Bill

URGENT BILLITIN !!! ; )

Since I'm not sure has already been forced to endure my boast about having the second (Hoey side) cousin who is becoming QUITE the Jazz Man, here goes on a time-sensitive boast and headzup.

Kurt Bacher, 25, blond, Caucasian (often appearing to be the "token" when subbing with Wynton's Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra . . LOL), son of Nancy HOEY Bacher and John Bacher of Foxboro, MA.

Kurt is a serious composer, arranger, woodwind performer since early school days, with masters in composition and performance from Manhattan School of Music, having caught a lot of attention from Wynton hisself. Awwwwwww c'MON! Be impressed!

Currently he has a nice long gig, playing in the pit and on-stage a bit with the Road Company of "Jersey Boys", the '06 "Best New Musical" on Broadway; recently concluding a 3-plus month run in San Francisc; upcoming in L.A., etc. www.jerseyboysbroadway.com with speakers on.

SO, what's the big urgent deal?? The "Jersey Boys" cast and (maybe) some musicians are scheduled to be on Jay Leno this MONDAY, 3/19. So, on the CHANCE that you spot a HoeyHandsome, blond, skinny (probably) alto sax man, it's Kurt! At least listen for a WOW-of-a-sax-sound. Please . . . .

Stacey, I don't know why the email is bucking your efforts . . I'm sorry. How about trying ajazzymind@gmail.com ? I need to investigate the prob . . .thanks for mentioning it.

Blessings all 'round,

BillMe in non-shaking, non-sliding, non-hurricaning, hardly-ever-swirling, non-raining-enough ARIZONA.

March Madness Yahoo!

Hey everyone, great job so far on the blogging!! I'm so impressed at everyone who has given it a try! Let's keep encouraging everyone else to join in. It'll be great to have lots of family aboard so we can talk about reunion stuff. But I guess if they don't join in....we don't have to consider their input...ha-ha!

I hope nobody is getting tired of hearing about Ohio State's premier athletic teams ;) Go Bucks! Well, back to work and to quickly fill out my hoops bracket!

*Uncle Bill, I've been trying to e-mail you off-blog to help with your Hoey stuff, but it says your e-mail is full, so it keeps bouncing back.

How about those buckeyes

Sunday Feb 25 Ohio State {rank #2) beat Wisconsin (ranked #1) so lets bring on
March madness -- just in case they should falter there is always Va Tech who has beat some big time schools, andthere is always Kansas who some of you might have heard of is lucking in the back ground. Good luck

The bold

Ahoy from the Bahamas!

Hi Everybody,

Im trying to figure out just how this thing works as this is my first "blog" experience too! If you read the comment I posted than disregard this because Im repeating myself. Norwood (my husband) and I are enjoying some R&R in the sunny, warm and tropical islands of the Bahamas. More specifically, the Abacos which are the "out islands". We decided that somebody from the family should be represented down here so we came in January for our 3rd winter! It is quite addicting. Plans are to return to Raleigh, NC in April and at that time we will be meeting a distant cousin, namely Nick Trombold who is studying at Duke University. he emailed this am and we planned to get together on our return home. It was exciting to hear we have such a smart and talented relative at Duke University! there aren't too many Trombolds in NC!
Hope we can start "chatting" about a family reunion????? Im willing to help plan........

Another Tidbit From The Hoey Polloi

Since I'm watching longingly for more of the messages from "the young and hip", I've decided "the ageless and corny" had best get to posting. Mainly, I'm taking a poll. Did you receive my years-late "Holiday (email) Letter" that made a way-wordy attempt to update family and friends on the State Of PlanetHoey??? If you don't recall getting it, please drop an email to me at: ajazzymind@gmail.com and I'll forward a copy, LIKE IT OR NOT! I'm too lazy to try to replicate it here . . . any you're LUCKY! ;)
I, too, want to applaud Robbin for mastering the pic-post so fast! Now if she'll just coach Dad.
Let's March on . . . blessings to each and all,
Bill Hoey

Hey Family!

Robbin (Hoey) (Plesh) now Comiski checking in. This should be interesting - my 1st BLOG! For starters the Trombold connection is: I'm daughter of Jeanette Trombold Hoey, and William B. Hoey, Jr. I'm mother to daughter Erin Lee (Plesh) Thaler, married to Marc A. Thaler, and son Taylor A. Plesh. I'm married to Peter J. Comiski. When I can figure out how to attach photos I'd love to share a couple from our visit with Mom & Dad last November. Until then, I'll stay tuned and try to keep up in this way. Thanks to Stacey and all in this initiative. Please note my new email address: rlcomiski@yahoo.com

Moving Sandra's comment to a post position, so all could see!

With a little effort, we can keep in touch with family events & news.

Please post just to let us know who & where, so we can all get back in touch for starters.

Any other newsworthy items can be added later, and pictures as well.

It's my understanding that there is quite a bit of interest in a reunion in the near future, so maybe this can kick off our efforts!!

To start off, I'm Stacey Swanson, daughter of Tom & Carol, I'm married to Shawn and have 2 children, Annie (3) and Tommy (4 mos) We live in Upper Arlington, OH.
