The retirement






Well, we just returned from Bryan's dad's retirement in Ohio. Wow! Can you believe it...37 years?? It was a really fun time, seeing family that we hadn't seen in years, and of course it was a very neat occasion for us all. Bryan and his brother and sister gave Bruce a really nice plaque (shown above) with all of the airplanes that he's flown on it, as well as patches from all of his squadrons. It turned out really amazing! And it was just a great opportunity for them to express to him (and their mom) how thankful they are for their examples and for all everything they've done for them. It was a tear jerker, I tell you! The kids were pretty proud of their grandma and grandpa too. But of course the highlight for them was playing with the dogs!!

What an amazing experience. You certainly have an incredible family!! I'm sure you're excited to have your Parents in San Antonio - enjoy the bike rides.

By the way, nice hunting outfit::)
