One if by land, Two if by sea

I feel as if I have been taken back in time and filled in for Paul Revere.

He said to his friend, "If the British march by land or sea from the town tonight, hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch...

Dick Mills arrived by sea in the Tarwathie on Saturday and John Higgins arrived by land on Sunday. Dick, wife Libby and my wife and I, enjoyed the evening over dinner and renewing old friendships begun in high school. We caught up on the last 40 or so years ever so briefly. John and Marcia met up with the four of us for dinner on Sunday night and the memories of the fifties and sixties continued to abound. What one of us forgot another remembered and our time together went by very quickly. It is really a great feeling to go back in time with those you have known for so long.

Heard from John this week as he travels Alaska...

This is Meares Glacier in Prince Wiliam Sound. It is only about 600' tall with 100' above the waterline, and 1/2 mile wide. Smaller than most up here. It is melting into the sea at a rate of 4 million tons a DAY!!!

My Holiday Weekend

Hi, hope everyone had a great Independence Day Holiday weekend. I spent mine as I do many summer weekends on a 90 acre horse farm south of Watkins Glenn. I spend much of my time there mowing fields and lawns, here is a photo of me just starting out to mow one of several fields. I would rather be on the old tractor mowing or taking care of several flower gardens and a vegetable garden than just about anything. In my case life at 65 couldn't get much better. After a hot day there is a pool to relax in and for those cool nights a hot tub that helps relieve any aches & pains. Hope everybody is doing what they want these days.

47 years ago...Where were you?

And where were you 47 years ago today? Time sure seems to fly and with our 5oth just a couple of years away, I thought you may appreciate this look backwards in time. Not too many of our lovely teachers who helped shaped our lives are with us but a few are still in the area. I thought you may enjoy this little bit of history. Click on picture for larger view. KR
