I have been remiss in communicating with you all but have been busy helping care for two new grandchildren based in NY City. We have been flying to Manhattan monthly and are now in Connecticut at the summer house of my second daughter Joanne. My youngest daughter and family is here also. Elvie and I were invited over after the clan hosted a party for my 75th birthday last Sunday in Racine, Wisconsin. Roger and Siony was one of the guests but had to cancel due to family matter.

We had 14 over the long weekend after which Elvie and I flew to New York, was picked up and driven to Sharon, Connecticut. The town is Meryl Streep's town, Paul Newman has his farm here. Long note but has given me the chance to share some stories with all of you.

By the way, again due to an important family event, a surprise birthday for our oldest daughter organized by the siblings for the

Christmas week, Elvie and I cannot make it to our 60th reunion. Roger was informed about this a month ago. Our oldest was born Christmas day and her siblings want to do something special for her (their Ate although they have dropped using that title). I tried to see if we could fly and join our reunion after the surprise celebration but could not book flights that would allow us to get to the reunion in time and fly back to Wisconsin by January 4. I have a annual business review with two of my companies key clients, Johnson Wax and Veolia the week of January 4.

I will check our new website to read about all of the activities that will highlight our reunion.
