Lived in Austin in 1977 for a year. My car broke down,
Whitewater kayaked in NE US and Canada. The boat still fits, but the sprayskirt is a bit snugger.
Sailing on Lake Superior on boats 36' to 45'.
Boundary Waters Canoe Area trip with John Geller, Steve Burns, and later-in-life friends (August 2017). A fantastic memory!
Three RAGBRAI bike rides (~450 miles in 7 days) across Iowa. Missed the last one with a broken clavicle.
Bikepacking trip in Iceland. I have a 475-mile route planned into the interior. The bike is being built in Colorado for the Spring of 2023.
We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.

Happy Birthday Wendy. 70 trips around the Sun. ??
I am surprised and saddened to hear of Mike's passing. I enjoyed his friendship.

Very sad to hear the news of Mark's passing. In addition to playing clarinets in the band, Mark and I worked at F.A. Farrar's after school and during the summertime. I will miss his slightly sardonic smile and the family tales that he shared.
I was a classmate of Nancy's starting in the 3rd grade at Tilden School. In all of those years, she was always quietly kind. I am certain that she will be sorely missed.
Here is a link to the funeral home website:
I was saddened to hear of Sherry's passing. It's difficult to understand how someone that has given so much, leaves so early. My condolences to Bud and their children.
I am saddened by the news of Mike's passing. At every class reunion, I was always reminded of the great relationship that Kathie & Mike shared. My thoughts are with the Family and also with my Classmates.
Let's live life large and generous.
