O'Sullivan to close Lamar plant

This is the headline of the Joplin Globe today.

If you remember, Doug works for O'Sullivan in Lamar. So it seems that we have big changes in the near future. Of course, we have known this was coming, and we have been making preparations. We feel at peace and are confident that Doug will be able to find employment elsewhere. We have received many blessings and have no reason to worry. Our hearts go out to the 700 other employees whose roots go deep in this area and may have a more difficult time finding a new job. They are in our prayers.

Oh, my goodness. That is a huge hit for a small town.

We're excited to see what adventures the Von Feldt family experiences next, though!

Alyson--I'm sure this was breaking news in town today. It will definitely have a big impact on a lot of people, including your family! We are excited to hear where you are heading next and hope the transition is smooth for everyone!

What a crazy time for you guys! Even if you knew it was coming, it is a hard way to make a change. I hope that things pull through for your family as you hope they will. I look forward to hearing where your family will settle in next.
