Since last "update", my partner for 14 yrs, Patty, and I got married in July this yr['23], and we went to Canada and Oregon, where my daughter, Allison and husband Chris reside. Canada was planned ahead of time but turned out 2 B a "honeymoon". Patty said it takes her awhile to make a decision; therefore the 14 yr span [lol]! Dealt wth alotta smoke and fires while in Canada, but we luckily stayed ahead of the flames. It was a great trip we really enjoyed. Saw 3 of their major Nat'l parks, wth Banff the biggest. That is Canada's Yellowstone, but our Yellowstone is still the best park I have seen.
Allison, who lost her kidneys after child birth gone wrong in 2017, finally rec'd a kidney in2021--so grateful 4 that. Her body has finally adapted to it and she is doing well.
I'm pretty much enjoying retm't, but have dealt wth 2 hand surgeries and a total knee replacm't. As I'm sure you've heard, "Gittin old ain't for sissys".
Take care y'all.
11/25, Ok, Latest Update is we,{Patty] and I went to the SW seeing Nat'l parks and Sedona. What a great, Official dark sky city! There should be more but u cant see the sky here in Asheville like out west. Daughter, Allison, just had her 5 yr anniv on her transplanted kidney and she , and it, are doing well. Hope 2 c many of you at our next Reunion!

Hey folk, Itz been 8 mos now since Helene. Asheville is back to pretty much "normal", but outlying areas and bordering counties still have "alotta hurt"! Alot of debris has been cleared and roads and bridges are getting replaced, but for Many people and many places, it will be Much longer for healing and recovery. This "leftover" hurricane did major catastrophic damage to cities and the environment when it slammed into our beautiful mountains. There are still Many in temp housing, and roads that followed any stream or river, or were close to, [of which there are many because of terrain] have temporary routes while the "original" major highway is re-built. There's not alotta press about it anymore, but there are still missing people, some of which will probly Never be found due to inaccessible areas where rivers created Huge log, silt and mud "jams". A man in such "a pile" was found just a couple weeks ago by a fisherman who noticed "the smell" and happened to see a hand. Not to be too graphic but so that people know how terrible this was, and that many things, and families will Never be the same. My wife, Patty, and I were SO fortunate compared to so many, I'm not at all remiss to say "God's hand" was over our house and property wth our many trees, and didnt lose one! Flooded bsmt was ALL. I have been in touch wth a few classmates since the storm, and saw where a few of you wrote and expressed your concerns and best wishes for us after Helene, and it meant Alot! Thank you so much. PLEASE, if so disposed, keep the Western NC area in your prayers going forward as so Many still are recovering--and for those who lost a loved one, or more. Their lives are 4ever changed and I can't imagine how tough that must be!
Thanks for listening, R&P
