Edwards, Gail submitted April 2002, revised March 2005, revised September 2007, revised December 2008.
I live in a household of two- and four-legged family, including an affectionate golden retriever (are there any other sort of golden retriever?) and a silly, sweet calico, cat in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
My days are taken up with teaching Canadian history at a local college. I do the usual academic things – balancing teaching with writing and publishing, going to conferences, endlessly grading piles of student work …

Egger, Jon submitted April 2002, revised December 2003, revised February 2010 I am Jon Egger, deacon-to-the-parish at historic Trinity Episcopal Church in Independence, MO, Diocese of West Missouri. I was ordained to the permanent diaconate on 2/1/2003. Married to Dawn Tish, we have four adult children in our blended family. We live with three cats (Sophie, Ebbie and Scarfie) and two Shetland Sheepdogs, Mister Spock and Bishop Fergus Maclaine of Loch Buie. (As a deacon it gives me great pleasure to tell a bishop to get off the couch.) I am retired from federal service and spend my time with ministry, crossword puzzles, and my dogs. I enjoy reading (mostly US history), photography, being a friend of Bill W, and I'm a US Civil War buff. |
