Hi, I just wanted to say hi again and tell you that I enjoyed your family information. by coincedence my name is Richard and have a son named Jonathan, however he is 21 years old and home from the marines.now working as a security guard. I have several other children the the similarity ends there.
Hello, I ran on to you family albumn by chance and it caught my eye. I have reviewed a few of the photos and have become shocked at the similaritys between your family and mine. I was looking up information on my son, Jonathan R. Foreman, stationed at Camp Pendleton. when I came accross yours. My family has about 5 thousand pictures in a gallery on the net. Names etc are t similar. webb site: (google) hemlocksprings.net double click on the one called gallery and see if you get photos etc. My name is Richard L Foreman in Dayton Ohio.
Have just started watching your new show. Thank you for sharing your family life with us. You're a refreshing breath of clean air, and a positive role model for millions who tune into your program.
However, I do have a question: As a white, blonde, 60 year old teacher, working with 5th grade students in an inner city school, primarily populated with poverty stricken youth and their families, what can I do to make a difference?
A good number of my students (ages 9 to 11 years old) are already involved with gangs and drugs, as are many of their immediate family members. Many of my students are living with extended family members because their birth-parents are either in jail, on probation, or have been denied parental rights. And an increasing number of my students are considered "homeless."
I live and work in a smaller city (population of 75,000) along the shores of Lake Michigan, and our city is situated between Metro Milwaukee and Chicago. Due to our physical and georgraphic placement, we are no longer a thriving, industrial city, but rather a struggling (minor) tourist destination.
Our city and county officials, combined police departments, educational system, and residency-at-large is in denial; however, as a community of teachers we witness and observe the daily toll that drugs, alcohol, and gangs have on our students, our youth, our future.
I am fortunate enough to work with other teachers and administrators who are also concerned and want to make a difference.
If possible, please give us some advice.
Any suggestions/insights will be valued. And I thank you in advance for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
It has been a long time since I logged on to your site. I see your family has grown. I found your site a couple of years ago when I was looking for my roots, the Foremans. My married name is Streeter and my husband is a Richard.
Your softball photos are great, I am glad Deanna has enjoyed the season. She has been a great addition to our team this year. Her smile keeps the game in perspective (Fun) for a coach.
Just wanted to say Congratulations on Jonathan. He is adorable and I finally get a nephew!!!!! Im sure Richard will spoil him...lol. Hope to see you soon. Love and miss you all!!!!
