Well 80 now. Two more granchildren. Declan 3 1/2 and the happiest girl ever, Cara Grace born on Christmas day 2019. They join Connor, Captain Jack (USMC), Owen (grad. Summs Cum Laude), Andrew, and Tommy. An amazing family that gets together as often as possible.
Barbara has an inner ear disease the limits us quite a bit. I am well and keeping busy in Wyckoff NJ. I do a lot of work around our church including all the chain saw needs for the cemetery and a garden I established to provide fresh produce for Jennifers charity.. After 30 years of second homes in Vermont and Cape Cod the house in Dorset sold.First time in 34 years with one home, Time to keep moving on though. I am lokking for new ways to serve . Barb and I celebrated 57 years in May. Hard to believe. Stop in Glen Rock often (until Covid 19 showed up. Hunkered down for the duration. Still staying safe until we can be vaccinated. Our grandson Jack is now in Saudi Arabia working. Fortunately Zoom keeps the whole family connected regularly. Church also uses Zoom for services and prayer and bible study. We adapt, even at 80.
Well now its 85 and Barbara and I just celebrated 62 years of marriage.
My last project was to cut a large cedar tree and with hand tools only (adz , drawknife, and saw I created the cross that stands by our Sanctuary. One of these days I will be keeping it company. No rush !

Glen Rock

It was the best time of my life next to college years and rooming with John Mcrae at Delta Phi. Now that was an experience!!!

Getting caught cheating by Miss Joslin in Latin.

Travelling a bit on business in europe, mid east, africa and the americas. Being a bit of a maverick in business and being able to sustain a great family that contiues to grow and care for one another.
Maintaining a sense of humor during my business career despite working for the French.

Study and play a sport rather than working at Perry's Florist

I oversee a garden at church that provides fresh produce for Oasis a charity my daughter runs in Paterson. . Chainsaw work for anyone needing it, or not.

Read a lot. I joined a group of men studying the bible and love that.

Jumping on the back of a Sherman tank when the 90 mm gun fired.
Been partially deaf ever since. But these new $5 grand hearing aids do help. Or is selective hearing as Barbara says.
Stopped wearing the hearing aids since most of my friends all speak ;oudly enough.

Well my pal, Cooper, had to be put to sleep last year.

The Hollow in Dorset, Vermont

Done that once, plus renovated three old, old houses.

Well I still feel better now than I did at 40.
So at 80 I am truly blessed with good health. Whatever comes in the next few years will come. I am not fearful of death,just hope it is peaceful. Then there is eternity.

Thanksgiving when Tommy (7) started a Nerf gun war and all 14 of us joined in.
Barbara and I each received Nerf guns for Christmas (2015).

The newest grandchildren 4 and 1 often cause laughter .
