“I want you guys around for another 50 years.”

12. November 2008 by admin.

Dear all,
I just spoke with Vincent Royal (28 y/o) and also learn about Kelly Tedley. Vince lives in St. Louis and Kelly in New Mexico. They reconnected several years ago. Vince works for Sears (10 years now) and Kelly’s wife is some “big wig” for a government computer agency. Kelly has two children (Vince thought) and Vince has three children. Vince is currently not married though as a significant other and they have a 17 month old girl. His significant other is studying to be radiologist.

For those that remember Vincent and Kelly, they were in placement here about 15 years ago. They both have fond and wonderful memories of CBR. They both “found” their lives here and thinking back today wished they could have lived the remainder of their adolescent’s lives here at CBR. Their most cherished memories of CBR are of the people they came to know and eventually “love”. Vince said you do not always understand what that means until you return love (meaning the experiences with his own children). Both Vince and Kelly feel CBR changed, and in many ways, “saved” their individual lives. He calls back today just to say hi and to check in. He tells me he is happy and healthy and …well “ok”.

We laughed together and reminisced about the old days. He tells me – “I want you guys around for another 50 years.”
