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.
