He continues in a part-time capacity, specializing in stories about everyday people both struggling and soaring. Twice in the last three years, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists has named him the top columnist for general columns nationwide.

April 26 [Thur] Amish Acres
Enjoy a one-day trip to Amish Acres - a historic Amish
farm. We will experience the lifestyle of the Amish
through guided home tours, farm wagon ride tour showing
points of interest on the farm, documentary films and quaint
shops. Lunch on your own. The special feature will be the
musical comedy "Church Basement Ladies." This comedy is based on the thought that the church kitchen
at one time was often the heart and soul of the church. This
comedy is funny, heart warming, down to earth and will
bring back many memories. After the play we will enjoy a "Thresher's Dinner” - a feast of Amish favorites. The
dinner will be served in the century old barn restaurant,
originally built in 1876.
