Son John continues to lead commerical real estate brokers in midwest. Jim Van continues activity as Realtor. Daughter Julie & Greg, now empty nesters, off traveling.

I swim, & now sport a new e bike. Joy rides at 16 mph. Carmel is flat; so the assisted e boost let’s me keep pace. Joy actively riding dressage on her horse Bella. Early September big show in St. Louis. Jim will go and visit Nelson Spencer, St. Louis resident (Waterways Journal), canoe partner when they canoed 1965-66 in Nortwest Territory to Arctic Ocean. Then off to Idaho to hike & jeep tour with former Foxcliff residents, retired to Bosie, Ken & April Rue. Jim’s extended family decided to do Brown County early October for Jim’s eighth b day (vs. winter 12/31/‘42). Hike, Mtn bike: Hard Truth & Story Inn. An IU football game & boating on Lake Monroe. Joy & I off to Northern Michigan mid October; visit friends & help landscaping on their new build on Lake Michigan near Petowski. AND, how about a class reunion end of October. Thanks to those who organize. Is an open bar allowed like last reunion? I was surprised how much liquor was consumed and applauded how you walked out of Brickstreet.
