Comments:

Patsy and I sold our home in Dripping Springs on August 7th, the next day we purchased a 41ft 5th wheel trailer and are living in it in the on our lot in Blanco. Construction is at the framing stage and we hope our retirement home will be ready before November. Then, travel in the 5th wheel to where ever the road takes us! First trip will probably be up towards Montana/Wyoming/etc and over to Washington State. We are looking forward to it.

The 40th reunion was the best ever, where people were just happy to see each other and nothing else. We are looking forward to the 70th birthday meeting, Fredericksburg is around an hour from here, maybe less.

The small pictures of me as a 5-6 year old and Patsy (same age) is one my daughter Cortney made for our Wedding picture album. I love it. Since she is about 3 months younger than me, I call her the young widow I married. One of the best decisions I ever made.

Pictures, 5
top one is of me on R&R from Viet Nam, taken by Carl Cox. I can't remember being that young. The one with the little girl on the beach is my sweetie, Sophia Ward (my granddaughter, 2nd girl born in my family in 82 years),

Sputtering along might be a better word. When the wife and I visit in Greater Manila, it takes longer to recover each time. The public transportation is hard on these old bones. It feels like my spine gets mangled. The little woman was wanting me to plan my birthday at a venue there because most of family and friends live there and I flat out refused since we are the ones paying, as is the custom here. I told her since it was my birthday then I get to choose where the celebration will be. Sound cranky, don't I?
Hope this finds you getting along well

Hello classmates. I head for the Appalachian Trail in 2 days and hope to complete the 2198.6 mile hike by mid September. IF I have a change of plans, probably physical issues, I will advise when I decide to stop the hike. I expect that would be some time half way which would be in Julu or such but hope to hold up thse 73 year bones.

Lonnie was my oldest friend. We got into ham radio together, talked daily in our youth and was a fine friend. He will be missed.
