Hello Everybody

How is everyone doing? Funny as ever, I see. Brian Matthews and his wife Louise were in town staying with my Dad last week. They came to my house for dinner on Wednesday night. It was great to see Brian and meet Louise. We had a really nice visit. So, who's coming down next? We all have plenty of room!! There's still a bunch of us down here who would like to try to make it up to you guys in August. Hopefuuly we'll make it!
