Catching up
Finally, I’m starting to update the blog and I’d like to review a few of the events of the past month or so.
First, I’d like to say thanks again to Sara, Mel, Scoot, Dick and Marilyn for a great send off. It was a very special time for me and I’m glad I had a chance to say goodbye to everyone who was able to make it. Thanks again to Mel for making the photo book for me! That was the best gift...
