IBEX Fall 99

The semester is nearly over. It has gone by very fast. It was the longest IBEX semester over (and duly noted on the winning T-Shirt design), but still not long enough. How about a two-semester program? We'll be right back after Christmas with our families!

		Our last overnight trip of the semester was a real overnighter - camping in the Cave of Adullam on a Life of David trip!

Two other new sections of interest: The IBEX Banquet (first-ever) and the Israeli Folk Dancing. Just in case anyone important is looking, these were two separate events!

On the IBEX baby front: Two boys this semester!!!

Isaiah James was born to Stephanie and Bill on Wed. 10/27.

Mark Josiah was born to Kelli and Todd on Fri. 11/19.

Pictures of Isaiah and Mark are up!
