Hey guys…long time no talk! I’ve said this before but I really LOVE technology. I’m in the waiting room of a surgical center while my wife Lisa is having eye surgery working on my laptop and updating the quartet website using the Wi-Fi my cellphone emits…all while texting family and friends updates about how Lisa is doing (which is well, just got out of surgery and is in post-op…thanks for asking). How on earth did we get by without all of this 20 years ago? I feel like such a dinosaur when I talk about the “old days” of no cellphones or internet. What will our kids be talking about 20 years from now??

Dogtown…got some very sad news from Bro. Bob Pollard and from his daughter Shannon Pulley just a few minutes ago. One of Bro. Pollard’s nephews passed away unexpectedly yesterday and they are now dealing with not only the loss of a dear family member, but are having to sort through the visitation and service on their church’s homecoming weekend. Due to those unfortunate circumstances, Marshall Ferry (Dogtown) has canceled their singing for Sunday July 18th. It will be rescheduled at a later date, but for now…pray for the Pollard family and love on your own family while you’ve got them around. Life is awesome, but it is at best fragile and each day is a gift from the Lord.

Will hit you guys back again soon, but remember the Homecoming August 7th in Nashville, TN and Gatlinburg in November. If all goes as planned, we will have our new Christmas CD at the Homecoming…might even turn the A/C up a bit and sing one for fun.

Hope you guys all have a great weekend…..come see us at Fares Avenue this Saturday night at 7:00pm (July 17th)…and remember, no service at Dogtown Sunday July 18th. Will be rescheduled once the family has had time to deal with their circumstances….

Von and all the guys at CO4
