UPDATES Bob and Candy Russell (ANEL) are now serving on a teaching mission at BYU-Hawaii. Elouise Bell (English) received the Volunteer Achievement Award presented by the Oklahoma Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. Her job is to read books aloud so that they can be recorded and then distributed without charge to those around the state who cannot see or physically manage print materials. As of June 2014, she’s recorded about fifteen books. This fall, Signature Books will publish Doug Thayer’s (English) new novel Will Wonders Never Cease (a hopeful novel for Mormon mothers and their fifteen-year-old sons). He’s finished another, The Redemption of Emerson Nelsen, and has a new collection of stories in progress. Gary Browning (German and Russian) will be a visiting professor for one year at Southern Virginia University. Mike and Connie Call (HCCL) continue to serve a mission in Tahiti. George and Karen Tate (HCCL) are serving at the Kiev Ukraine Temple. Norbert Duckwitz (HCCL) is teaching at Southern Virginia University.
