Hi guys,

Attached are a couple of recent pictures. I'm afraid that I just don't get many pictures taken of myself, so the pool is fairly small.

These are a few travel pictures, two are from this year in Africa and one is from last year at a great little wine shop in Gubbio, Italy. The little lady behind me is my mother-in-law. She's a real sport and has made a couple of trips with my wife and I.

The campfire picture was taken at our base camp at Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. That delicious looking "mystery meat" by the fire is Maasi goat that was very recently grazing outside the camp. As a special treat and honor for our visit, the tribesmen took the fat from the goat and made a soup of sorts. Trust me when I tell you that there isn't enough beer in the world to get the taste of that soup out of your mouth. However, the pili-pili hot sauce finally did the trick.

My wife, Phyllis, is a partner in an insurance company and I run the risk management department. As I explained to Marvelous Marvin, yes, I am sleeping with the boss. The company is based in Scottsdale, AZ and we manage the East coast operations out of our Atlanta office. If anyone had ever told me I would be doing this for a living, I'd have thought you were nuts. Oh well, it pays the bills and keeps me out of trouble.

Like many of you, I have drifted away from the Ocean Township area and not kept up with too many of the old class of '73. I moved South in 1982 and married a Florida girl in 1988. Unfortunately, no children, but lots of nieces and nephews to spoil as well as my 3 trusty dogs. All in all, life has been very, very good to me and I thank the Lord for the blessings I have received.

To all of you, my very best. Really sorry that I missed the big party as it looks like a great time was had by all.

John S.
