Merry Christmas 2006

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” Luke 2:11-14



Christmas greetings to you and your household.

Cindy and I have had a busy year with most of our children now living outside the house; wow, the challenges of being an empty-nester are great!!


In June Rosemary graduated from Judson College with majors in art and history, she now works for a nice art framing company here in Birmingham and enjoys her friendship with Darrel (he is a junior history major at Samford). Samuel (our youngest) is a freshman at Samford University, majoring in bio-chemistry.

Here are James, John and Gilbert with our good friend Ryan Morrison (pipemajor of Heritage Pipes and Drums). Gilbert IV is currently in a three year internal residency at Carraway Medical Center here in Birmingham. He is really working hard; but enjoying it.





We are all looking forward to the marriage of James and Georgianne Patterson in March. You may recall, James served an 8 month tour of duty with the Marines near Al Fallujah, Iraq – we are thankful for his safe return; he is now working as a GIS / environmental specialist with The Nature Conservancy.










Our John is a Cadet at Virginia Military Institute (VMI) in Lexington, VA majoring in chemistry, playing bagpipes and working toward a commission in the Marines.



We’d love for you to visit us in Birmingham, until that time, please visit my website:

Love and best regards,
Gilbert & Cindy Douglas
