was painted by my co-worker
Dr. Kyong Kim in the fall of 2006
. My birthday is on Christmas which may be one reason why Charles Dickens is my main man. Look at my analysis of The Christmas Carol
as an overtly Christian work in my essay "Dickens' Christian Carol in Prose."

Past Memories
(Our Scrap Book)
Note-some of these files are purely temporary. The "desk-sketch" to the right was done by a student during my January Introduction to Literature class. Man! I hope I don't always look so grim!

Yes, we're related; now that he's grown that beard the resemblance is
downright eerie. He's my "bro," seen here with his new little one, Madison
Carolyn Rearick, born
October 28th, 2001.
And now lets see about those children. (First
there's my SON, Anderson Malvin Rearick
IV, called "Andy." He turned fifteen
this past Sept. 1st and
is one of the great sources of pride in our lives (I have no idea is that
is teen-wise correct to claim) Like me, he loves Christmas!
He also loves science fiction, Halloween, cartoons and other "weird"
things for which his mother blames me. He's even seen some scary films of
which I did not approve. But when his mother caught him he said
"Gee Mom: it's only make believe! I mean you know this is only a
movie!" My father, hearing this story, said "Well, I suppose if
one has been to Heck and back as Andy has with all his surgeries, guys wrapped
up in sheets with green faces just don't impress." I do have several shots showing him first with the artificial trach and then his development from
there. See Loretta's testimony to hear the full story:

Eleven Years Ago: "Praise the Lord: Andy's Trach is Out!" Read Loretta's--his mother's--Testimony about our journey x

Here's Andy's sister, born on the 13th of May, 1997 who is now
nine years
old. Her name is Laura Sue Rearick. Andy used to say that she was a "nice
baby," now he says she's "DRIVING ME CRAZY." We
sometime see his point but mostly agree a thousand fold with his original
evaluation, only that is now upgraded to little girl. She hates being
called "the baby" but still climbs into bed with us on Saturday
mornings. She likes animals and craft work. She used to like Barbie
but told me yesterday that this is no longer true. Together they are a handful, especially when they sit side by
side in the back seat of the car! Recently Laura wants to sing which is
fine, but she wants complete silence from the rest of us, no talking, no radio,
no tapes. Well you can imagine her brother's response to this.
Suddenly he wants to sing too--only louder.
For
more pictures of Laura click on her butterfly Album to the left.
Note: Laura's album is a bit rough for the present but will improve in appearance and organization.


Together
Look Out!



Ah a memory:

Doesn’t He Look Thrilled?
