May 2023

I thought about retiring but realized it would just give me more time to do what I am already doing. So what’s the point? Between Katie and me, we have six sons and one daughter who have produced 17 grandchildren. Keeping track is a challenge — mentally and physically. Two have already finished college. One is now at UVa; another at Tulane. Two are graduating from high school this year and on their way to college next year. Locally, we are represented at Gilman, Odyssey, and McDonogh. I am still limping around the farm, tennis court, golf course, and trout stream and trying to keep my sailboat upright. Old age isn’t so bad.
