OPPMANN.COM: Andrew,
Elise, Emily, Sarah, Patrick & Rachel
  
We built the original OPPMANN.COM back in 1999 to share photos
and news about our new arrival, Emily, with our friends and family. Four
children and a century later, with the addition of Facebook and Twitter,
we’re now using Weebly for website management and various social
media to keep in touch. This site you are on now links to a new site,
launched in 2011. Classic OPPMANN.COM, also linked from here, is an archive from
1999 to 2010. We keep our websites going as a set of a digital time capsules,
only updated occasionally, that we keep buried in cyberspace.

The 2011 Virtual Christmas Card Letter
So, dear friends, if we
were to send Christmas cards, we would try to put to paper something like
this webpage, chronicling our lives in 2011. A brief introduction: Andrew
finished his first year at Middle Tennessee State
University in November and began his stint as an adjunct
journalism professor in September. Elise is just as busy as ever as the
Chief Life Officer of the Oppmann Family. Emily entered 7th grade at
Central Magnet School; Sarah is in the 5th grade at Discovery School at Reeves Rogers;
and Rachel started kindergarten at the Bradley Academy but, in January 2012, moved to MTSU's Homer Pittard Campus
School. Click here to read our Virtual Christmas Card Letter in pictures and
captions.
Classic
OPPMANN.COM found here
We
built the original OPPMANN.COM in the waning days of the 20th Century to
keep connected with our loved ones as we moved across the country. Content
from 1999 to 2010 can be found on the classic site, including several
links to special projects from Andrew's former career as a newspaperman and
Elise's stint as a restaurant critic. You can trace our
path back to Tennessee (and the other stops in our newspaper career) and
see a nice set of links on some of our activities over the years by clicking here. And our
photo album archive, dating to 1999, is on this page.

Anne Freeman
Peace: 1929-2007
Mimi,
Andrew's mom, died suddenly on Aug. 20, 2007, at her home in Hopkinsville,
Ky. She had just returned
from Murfreesboro, where she spent a week helping Andrew and Elise move
into their new home and spending time with the girls. On classic OPPMANN.COM,
here’s the eulogy Andrew delivered at her funeral at First United
Methodist Church in Hopkinsville.
Patrick's
life was brief, but touched many
In
2005, our newborn son, Patrick, died after only 23 minutes from Potter's
Syndrome, a rare genetic condition. He was surrounded by family
and love in his brief life. But his memory lived on by sharing his story
with the readers of The Post-Crescent, the newspaper Andrew edited in
Appleton, Wis. The P-C also published stories from others who lost a child
and were able to share their stories and find a connection. Andrew wrote
three columns in the effort. Read all the stories on classic OPPMANN.COM.
