OUR FAMILY

Guia and Mark met in 1980 during his two year Peace Corps tour in the southern Philippines. They worked together in the areas of nutrition and sanitation. When Mark left the Philippines he moved to the community of Stelle, Illinois (two miles north of the Greenhouse B&B). Guia later brought the children to the U.S. and we lived in Stelle until moving to the farmhouse that is now the B&B.
Our four children are now spread around the country. Our oldest daughter, Queenie lives in St. Louis and works in one of the computer departments at At&T. Our second daughter, Charmaine lives in Orlando and works in the computer department at Lockheed Martin. Our youngest daughter, Christine lives in Chicago and works for the University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences. Our son Warren lives in Fort Collins, Colorado and works in a high-end cabinet making shop, while spending as much time as possible enjoying the mountains.
