| When we see tragic stories on the
national news channels we rarely think that they may be about people we actually know. When we first saw the story about the small airplane that crashed near Jasper, Alabama, on Sunday, June 30, 2008, we did not know that these were our good friends, the Crump family. The Crumps are our former bass singer, Marlin Shubert's, brother-in-law, Bobby Crump; his wife, Jan; and their son, Matthew. Matthew's girlfriend, Lauren Brue was also on the plane. The crash was fatal to all. Marlin's wife is the former Susan Crump, Bobby's sister. Many of you know that Marlin Shubert sang bass for the Inspirations in the early 1970s, and he is also featured on the Reunion DVD. Our prayers are with the Crump, Shubert and Brue families and friends as they go this difficult time.

Ron,
I thoroughly enjoyed this weekend. Everything seemed to go fine. Looking forward to Warner Robbins on the first of
March. I have been involved in real estate since 1996 and closed my carlot in 1997. Our youngest daughter, Kim, is in her second year of law school at the University of Alabama. She graduated from Birmingham Southern. Cristy
works for the Walker Community Foundation. Lincoln
is a middle school teacher and coaches the 7th and 8th grade girl’s basketball teams. Susan is still working at the carlot owned by her
brother. So that is a brief family history
and what’s going on.

The MARLIN SHUBERT FAMILY |
The Inspirations' second bass singer, Marlin Shubert,
came to the group from his family group, The Shubert's, and Marlin loves to sing, but he
just couldn't stay away from his hometown sweetheart, Marlin and Susan were married
in 1972 and Marlin became a car salesman at Susan's dad's lot.(NO
JOKES, PLEASE; We'll vouch for Marlin's integrity!) Shortly
thereafter, Marlin opened his own car lot Marlin and Susan have two daughters; Christy, who graduated from Birmingham Southern in 1996 and now works for First Look in Birmingham; and Kim who is a sophomore at Birmingham Southern majoring in business. The Shuberts are still very
excited about Christy's May 29, 1999 wedding to Lincoln Moody. In fact, the
newlyweds accompanied Marlin & Susan back to Bryson City when we held our recent
reunion. |
