Greetings Friends and Family,

Dean and I thought that we could use our website to write our 2006 letter.  We are late in posting it, but would like to share some news from our lives.

Dean is enjoying his job as an assistant principal at Highland Elementary School after completing his Masters in school administration with distinction (perfect 4.0) from Campbell University.  He continues to perform with the Raleigh Jazz Orchestra, the North Carolina Brass and the Durham, Fayetteville and Raleigh Symphonies.  His brass quintet performed for the First Night Raleigh 2007 celebration.

I have been busy this year with lots and lots of weddings to play every weekend as well as keeping up with teaching my private students and coaching for the Raleigh Children’s Orchestra.  I have completed my fourth class towards a Masters in Elementary Education at Campbell University.  It is actually a matter of finishing a degree I was close to completing when I married Dean and we moved south in 1996!

Our cats Roscoe and Boo Boo passed away this year but we have two new cats named Cletus and Clementine.

Please stay in touch with us and come to visit when you will be in North Carolina.  We are always eager for visitors and have plenty of room.  We are about an hour and a half from the beach and four hours from the mountains, so we are also within an easy driving distance of North Carolina’s best features and family on the western side of the state.

Happy New Year and Best Wishes for 2007!

Molly and Dean Olah
