And, while I'm thinking of the Maleks, let me mention that John has started a blog as well. A New Jersey boy who came all the way to Nebraska on a track scholarship, John met Barb in college and they somehow decided to stay here. We are among the many who are delighted they did.
John brings to his blog a spiritual insight borne of many years of Bible study, marriage and parenting experience (the Maleks have four grown children, the oldest boys are married too), a lot of reading, church leadership, work in the insurance industry, a love of baseball and decades of exceptional service as a pro-life activist.
John's latest entry at his blog (In Pursuit of Reason) is a fine review of Charles Dickens' David Copperfield.
