1999-00 Angioplasty and triple-bypass surgery slowed me down. I’m feeling much better now. Peggy and I are involved in a group of 21 people that are special friends. We go with some of them on cruises, fishing trips, pontoon parties, etc.

I am spending my time improving my landscaping, gardening, trout fishing and fly tying, woodworking, woodcarving, reading, singing in our church choir and a mixed quartet. We hope to travel frequently in the next ten years.
