2023

Mary and I successfully summited Mt. Kilimanjaro in September 2022. Our group consisted of six members over 65 and one last-minute add-on, a 40-year-old cardiologist. She was made most welcome. Seven days up, two days down. We then went on a six-day safari on the Serengeti before heading home. We had two weeks to finish preparations for our daughter Carrie’s wedding in New Hampshire!

My son-in-law started a new job in Billings Montana, so Mary and I helped daughter Liz follow in March. Plus, after 13 years as a student and 24 as a member of the faculty (45 years in education), I will be retired as of June 6! But I plan to help with the wrestling team and other projects to keep busy. Here’s hoping we all enjoy the years ahead.
