GOOD TIMES AT CATHY'S BACKYARD AND DENISE'S HOUSE, WITH RICKY & JODI

We didn't travel that often to New Jersey after retiring in 1999. This however was a good trip as we saw the extended family.

2005 started out great. We took a Sea Cruise on the Mellinium with stops in Aruba, Mexico, and Cayman Islands.  Hell was hot, but the hot tub was fun.

2001 SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

We will always remember where we were (Marco Island House), when we got a call from a neighbor who just said:' They finally did it, turn on your TV." 

Naturally the TV was clicked on and we say smoke, and heard the initial report of a plane hitting one of the Twin Towers. We were in shock. All those thoughts raced through our minds such as "How is the Fire Dept. going to extinguish flames that high up" and "Will everyone get out OK?"

Minutes later we watched as a second plane hit the second World Trade Building.

1998 CINDY'S GRADUATION AND ZACHARY'S BIRTH - SOME BUSY DAYS

Oh what a day this was. Cindy scheduled to Graduate at Boston College, and Laura scheduled to deliver her first child. You can't be in both places at once. What do we do.

Command decision: Dad will go to Boston. Cathy will keep him company and Gram will ride shotgun. This gang got out of Town with no problems and settled in to see the Graduation in blistering heat. When it was over Dad got some deserved rest, while Gram sneaked Cathy out for a few drinks at CHEERS. Well the facts here are correct. Nice memory.

While half the family was out of Town Mom took charge and went with Laura to deliver her #1. His name was Zachary.

Some pictures of the Stars of the Post appear below, although they were not actually taken on that date. We had to work some "Future Pictures" into our story from 1998. Here they are.
