It has been a very busy year (198) for the whole family (Peter, Carolyn, George, and Emily). Peter was dashing all over the globe accepting honorary degrees; fortunately the prize money from his Nobel Prize covered the airfare. Carolyn has been positively swamped; she was the head designer for the Pendelton Woolen Mills and received constant calls from Martha Stewart when the house was selected by HOUSE BEAUTIFUL as the home of the year. George and I (ages 17 and 14) are maintaining our 4.0 grade point averages. By attending night classes at Lane Community College, George finished his Master's Degree to be free to go on his mission. I continued to juggle being concert master in youth symphony and captaining the ski and crew teams. Our vacations have been superb as usual. On spring break, we enjoyed an invigorating transpacific swim from Oregon to Japan. Unfortunately I couldn't join the rest of the family in our ecology project as I was tending the sick in the slums of Islamabad; the family chained themselves to beached whales. So as you can see, by day we are a very normal family and we lead an ordinary life. By night, however, we put on our SPANDEX suits and under the alias of ``Wunder Family'' fight crime as masked (wo)men of might. I hope your year will be as successful as our year has been. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Kwanzaa. Love Emily
