Comments:

Living in Austin and life is good, now retired so don't care so much what the legislature does. Both kids out of school and doing well, but they have yet to prove to me they know where babies come from. Married Connie in 2011. She treats me better than I deserve.

Really enjoyed the 2008 & 2013 Reunions and often get a hankering to come back to town and see the old haunts and the not so old friends.

I'm so sorry to learn of Robert's passing. I always hoped he would come to a reunion. I think we gave him his nickname "Cheetah" when he was our shortstop on our summer league team, the Warriors. He was such a great athlete, so fast, and was always a sweet guy with a smile that lit up the room.

Happy Birthday, Sally. A little early but I didn’t want to miss it. When I saw you had updated your profile I was hoping to see that you had moved to Texas.

I hope all is well with you and this spring is busting out all over in NH.

I don’t know if I’ve ever asked before, but I’m curious about your son Travis. Where is he and what’s he up to?

My daughter Jennifer turns. 40 (!) later this year. Was married for a short while, no kids. Has taught at the blind school , then was a Montessori teacher, now works an administrative type job with World Central Kitchens. My little hippy bohemian, formerly my little delicate flower, good artist, unique and stubborn.

My son Josh will be 37 later this year. Married to Esha now for about two years, living in Brooklyn. Director of Marketing for a company that provides online opioid treatment and counseling. I’m not supposed to tell anyone for about another week but I just learned that, at age 73, I will finally become a grandfather this November. Obviously I’m thrilled. Never too late!
So, what’s going on with you and when are you coming to Texas?

Take care,
RV

Hey Robert!
Cheers to you! I saw you banding birds on the Lake Jackson highlight of DayTripper. That’s an amazing and I’m sure a most rewarding avocation.

Happy birthday, Sally! I hope all is well in your neck of the woods and that are able to get out and about and celebrate in style.

When are you coming to Texas?

Thanks, Sue. I agree with you being so saddened to hear about Harry. Such a thoroughly nice guy.
