Gavin


Our first stop back was to visit with Carolyn Dittrick in Virginia Beach. We then went on down to New Bern, NC to see son, Mike, and family, Tracey, Kaili, 13, Gavin 5, and Aaron, 18 months. We enjoyed our few days there in this busy household!! I can't even begin to tell how many directions each one was going. Then back up to Norfolk and caught the plane home.



Two weeks later, in combination with a meeting Bob had in Princeton, NJ, we got to spend a few days with son, Craig, and family, Marie, Abby 10, Luke 5 in Jan. Craig and family surprised us with a Christmas present of a day in New York City......and seeing the Rockettes!! Fabulous. Of course, being the dancer I am, my feet were going right along with them.......only I couldn't kick!



We had a ride around Central Park and had lunch near Times Square. What a great day.



This last part of the year is busy with travel due to Bob's meetings and presentations. We went to Jacksonville, FL, and while I visited with our friends there, Bob went to Orlando to do a presentation with the CEO of Novaces. A grand success. When he got back to Jax, we all had a great visit. The Ulrichs and the Fitzgeralds.

Delighted to catch up with the Halders. Judy and Walt Schalick are back permanently at their East Coast digs in Fairfield, CT. We miss CA and the Pacific view, but in our 80s it was just a bit too much back and forthing. Judy still consults on strategy with a 401c3, the Crisler Library, Ephesus, Turkey created by a terrific CA gal pal, Janet Crisler. For seven years I've backstopped the cultural issues and the research and archaeological center is flourishing. A great tribute to a savvy American widow who wanted to honor her husband, a theological specialist. All warmest greetings to you and yours.
