Vernon and Kids

Vernon has two children from a prior marriage - Tiarra Paige and Christian Xavier. They live in
Belleville, Illinois and not far from our house.

Tiarra is a member of the National Junior Honor Society and the Cheerleading squad. Christian is
interested in building and creating fun stuff out of almost anything. They both enjoy hanging with
their younger cousins.

Vernon is a supervisor for a large telecommunications company with their headquarters in
Saint Louis, Mo.

The background music is entitled, "You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor.  The song was Number 1 on the Top 40 Chart the day Vernon was born.
