AN EXCERPT FROM ONE OF HER ONLINE NOTES: /////////////////////////////////////////// October 2004 A bio of Kathryn (Kathy) Thompson Here is a brief sharing of my "story." I am Kathryn Thompson, Bob's new bride. I am a coordinator for David Hoffmeister, who travels all over the world sharing spiritual gatherings. David is presently in Canada. When we left Wisconsin, I came back to Cincinnati, OH, where we are based, to pack my things up. I also have to set things up for David to handle everything without having me, right here at the house. I will tell you more about myself: I was born in Congo, Africa. My parents were missonaries there, and so were my grandparents on my mothers side of the family. I also have an uncle and aunt who were missionaries too. There is another uncle who is a minister in the family that I talked with today, who is the international minister for the church that I grew up in. As I grew up, we lived in a variety of places, because my father was a minister, so we would travel as we were guided to. I've lived in: New York City, Crouton on Hudson, NY, Bethel, KY, Hollywood, FL, Clarksville, IN, Paris, KY, Lexington, KY., then Cincinnati, OH. Now, onto Wisconsin. Before Lexington, we lived in each area around four years. I lived in Lexington fifteen years, and have been in Cincinnati for fourteen years. My life has been packed full of many blessed miracle experiences, and I am eternally grateful for them. I went to Transylvania University for college in Lexington, KY. I have always had a strong spiritual focus, because of my families orientation initially. It has continued to be my guiding light." ////////////////////////////////////////////////////// http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.martin/14570/mb.ashx File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ky/knox/photos/randelod6372gph.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/kyfiles/
