Hello friends!
Most of you already know that this was in the works, but wanted to give you the official news. Coy has taken a job in Florence, SC with McLeod Regional Medical Center. His job title is CMO/VP of Medical Affairs. We are excited for him as this is an incredible job in an exceptional culture of hospital excellence. It goes without saying that we are incredibly sad about leaving Pensacola. We love this city and all of our friends and acquaintances here - not to mention the institutions which have played such important roles in our lives - FUMC, EDS, CHS. There could never be a home that measures up to this lovely place, its people and the roots we have grown here while bringing up our girls. We feel blessed in very large measure for having lived this chapter in our lives in Penscola with all of you.
Briefly, I will tell you a little about Florence. It is in the northeastern part of the state, in a rather sparsely populated area. The population of the city is approx. 35,000. The population in a 60 mile radius is 1.02 million. It has a lot of industry and maunfacturing: Honda makes ATV's and personal watercraft, GE makes half of the world's superconducting magnets for MRI's, Roche pharmaceuticals has a presence as does Monster.com, and 5 or 6 more large manufacturers. McLeod is the largest employer there. McLeod is locally owned, is a not-for-profit with 4,700 employees, 400 doctors and approximately 580 licensed beds. McLeod has 2 other hospitals in the system. And for those of you who know Michael Long - he is a native of Florence!
Coy begins his responsibilities there on June 21. Our home will be on the market shortly. I do not know how soon I will join him, it depends on what we find there for housing in the short term. We will be returning as much as is possible for many events, so you might not miss us! Please keep us in your prayers. We are excited about this new adventure, even as we are grieving about leaving this much loved city. We will miss all of you terribly, but look forward to keeping in touch by email, cell phone and visits!
Hope to see you and keep in touch!

A visit with Pocky
Pocky was up in Prattville last weekend, so Sunday afternoon he came down to get a good visit in with his great grandson. They put together some puzzles, and Pocky taught RIley about his hands and fingers (you can see the picture below of them comparing digits), we did some more playing around and RIley was in generous modd and gave Pocy a hug on his way out. We had a big time!
