Several young Lively cousins have been busy exploring the arts and entertainment world. Below are details concerning their recent accomplishments:

Emelie Faith Thompson, great-granddaughter of Delphia Lively Thompson (the oldest attendee at last year's reunion in Marietta) spent the past summer living with her great-grandmother in Beckley, WV while performing in Theater West Virginia stage productions at the Cliffside Amphitheater. Emelie played parts ranging from a cunning, calculating southern belle to a napkin (a role adapted from Beauty and the Beast). The daughter of Jeff and Kimberly Thompson of Culpeper, VA and granddaughter of Frank Lively (this year's reunion host), Emilie is in her second year of college at Shenandoah University in Winchester, VA where she is majoring in Musical Theatre.

Kendall Lively performed in Ringgold Elementary School's production of Wonderland on March 1st and 2nd . Kendall is the daughter of Tonya and Russell Lively of Ringgold, GA.

Pierce and Kendall Lively participated in the Jingle Bell Classic Swim Meet in Dalton, GA in December. In the 7-year-old division, Pierce earned two 2nd place medals, a 3rd place medal, and a 6th place ribbon. He also received 2nd place for the 100 meter relay at the Pilot invitational in Knoxville, TN. While she did not receive any medals, Kendall shaved 16 seconds off her time, a tremendous accomplishment. Good luck to these swimmers as they compete at UGA in March.

Russell and Tonya Lively have dedicated time to mission work. Russell participated in a week-long building campaign in Nicaragua February 16-24th. Tonya will be leaving in June for a Medical Mission trip to Granada, Nicaragua, where she will assist in dispensing medicine, vitamins, hygiene items, beans, rice and clothing.
