OBPI Teens in the Delaware Area
Hi All! My son has a left OBPI - we discovered UBPN in 1998 and we went to camp in 2001 - Lake George, NY. What a great trip! Anyway, this site used to have a list of parents whose children have OBPI so they could connect. I haven't been following closely and the site has changed tremendously (looks awesome!) and we're not sure how to connect locally anymore. Does anyone have ideas or insight for connecting with local UBPN chapters/events?
Thanks in advance! ~ Stephanie from Wilmington, DE

Hi! My son Ben was Josh's friend at Lake George. How are you all? Ben is 8th grade and plays soccer, guitar and percussion. We live in New York but maybe they'd talk to each other online. Does Josh have a facebook or a cell phone?

Hi Jenny! Yes, Josh has a facebook and a cell phone number. He will be excited to know that we heard from you 
. Hope all is well. Josh remember's Ben very well, he's the only kid he's connected with who has Erb's. Josh is in the 8th grade this year and plays percussion in his band as well. We tried other sports, but he hasn't been interested. I'll need to check Josh's privacy settings on facebook, but Ben should be able to find Josh using his full name: Joshua Ungerbuehler. I have a facebook too, if you do maybe I can send a request. If you do and search, I can be found under Stephanie Lovekin.
Thanks so much for replying.... look forward to connecting!!
