Dear Classmates,
Here is a picture of our new baby moose (MAYA).
For several years Mommy moose has been having her babies on our property in
Jackson Hole, Wyoming.All were born in May, hence her name. (Could be a boy!) This must be a birthing ground, going back many years.
About a year and half ago, after surfing, I had an arrhythmia heart attack, called a Tachycardia. They paddled me back to life, and I have a pacemaker.
This took a lot out of me, so I have given up skiing, surfing, and international travel. I can golf and hike, thank goodness. Our life now seems to be pills and injections.
At the end of June, Jo will go see our kids and grandkids in Mallorca, Spain,
and I’ll go back to Maui. Travel is getting harder!
Wishing you all good health and happiness!

It was so good to meet up with Carol (McGrew) Tielsch (and George) in downtown Wilmington, NC on Sunday. Their American Cruise line docked in the Cape Fear commercial port and bussed them to a historic home where Sharon (Ballough) Penny and I met them. We went to the Cotton Exchange where we had lunch and a visit. So great to catch up and hear about their cruise on the southeastern coast!
Now I am trying to get used to wearing hearing aids -- mostly getting them in … No ... Ee.
Enjoy the summer, and my best wishes to each of you.

For those interested in aviation, Gary has sent a one-page article he has written about his work on simplifying and reducing traffic congestion in airspace near airports.

Shirley Quesnel's aging jokes are absolutely hilarious (and so true). Also, Muriel Vaughan was a dear friend; we walked to Wilson together every morning for three years. She was a deep thinker, had beautiful manners and was just a great person.

I went to Boise, Idaho to be at the wedding of my great-granddaughter, Sonja. She was born the month after my wife, Sonja, died and was given that name to honor her. My wife's dad was 100% Norwegian, and he wanted her named after the world champion figure skater, Sonja Henie.

Just checking in to let you know that I'm still here. Roman turned 95 years old, and our children and I gave him a celebration party. Grands came from Idaho and Texas.

Wish I could join all of you! My husband is starting to have dementia, and he's a handful for me! Life is good otherwise! Hope all is well with you and all my classmates!
