Madelynn and I love attending the many cultural activities Sarasota offers: theater, jazz, classical. Madi is an avid bridge player who has attained Diamond Life Master status (5000 master points). We have played together for 17 yrs – she teaches bridge professionally. We love to travel – this year almost a trip a month – a bit excessive. Our favorites are family visits, cruises, bridge tournaments, NC mountains, and the coast of Maine
I love to sing and have been fortunate to have two ladies that play old standards and let me sing at our CC. I play a bit of guitar and piano. We hold sing-a-longs at our house. We display the chords and lyrics on our big TV so the guitar players and singers don’t have to fuss with the music – mostly folk and some old rock songs for these events.
All my WHS teachers and coaches made permanent memory impressions. Spent many memorable times with my buddies: Pete Lillegren, Stan Peckham, and Perry Schultz – bowling, water skiing, and cruising the local bar haunts. Pete and Stan were college roommates for senior yr. I know many West HS grads and hope to connect with them also.
Playing basketball even as a bench player was a lot of fun – particular the Saturday league practice games. I had a chance to connect with Pete Wolfe at his Maine lake home a year or so ago – still the same guy – remarkable condition – modern dance with his spouse seems to be his secret.
It was great to go to school where you know every person reasonably well – I look forward to our 50th reunion.
