Welcome 2015! Bring it On!

January 5, 2015 - Private-Family
2

Yes, we know we missed the deadline for Christmas letters and even an end-of-year letter, but we nonetheless want to share news and especially warm greetings from, well not Maine, but Florida, where we are for the winter.

At least we got it out in time for Chinese New Year!

2014 Blessings

2014 was filled with many blessings – particularly in Relationships.

FAMILY

Lillian, Barbara’s mother departed at 101 in April. She led a wonderful life, the last one+ year with us. So when her birthday rolled around (Dec 26th), we all felt a little empty, being used to celebrating that for many decades with Lillian and other members of the family.

Entire Gillett FamilyOur whole family gathered at our home in Maine for Christmas.

Back row: Darge & Kristin, Mary, Tim

Middle row: Tom, Barbara (Ara) & Dar

Front row: Tammy with Annika (3), Avery (12) with Kelly (5), Parker (10)

We so enjoy wintering in Florida, for all the outdoor activity, like kayaking, that we can do. But also for the many new and old friends we have in FL, including from childhood, from schools, from colleges, and prior neighbors. Barbara has taken on the nickname “Ara” here.

Dar had a lot of health issues this past year, but is on the mend now.  He is working on a new book on The Noble Leader, with his colleague, Ken Bardach.

Here’s a photo of Ken & Dar speaking at Caterpillar Hill with one of the Noble Leaders in their book, Donna Maria Bordeaux, founder and co-owner of Greater Brunswick Physical Therapy.

  1. Ara will travel to Purdue in Indiana to help celebrate 100 years of Kappa Alpha Theta at Purdue.

    Hello Dar and Ara,
    Happy New Year to you! It is so good to get the photos of your family and your news.
    Thanks for sending! All is well here and VERY COLD! Last week we were averaging
    around 18 degrees.
