In the last year, since I began putting this story together, many things have happened, all good. Scott has had an addition to his family, a beautiful girl named Madison Emily. Not to be outdone, Shelley has put a "Muffin in the oven" and will have a boy who they are going to name Jackson Bingham Barry sometime in October.

I also decided to play five or six tournaments just so we could get out of town and renew old acquaintances.

Stan Jr.'s son, Jason, has talked me into coaching his Big League Baseball Team. The kids are from 16 to 18 years of age and we play different towns here on the Peninsula. We play one game during the week and generally a double header on Sunday.

The kids gave me a membership in the Gold Prospectors Association of America. So now I carry my Gold Pan in the camper whenever I head for the Sierras. Last year, Carrol and I brought back a little "color" from the middle fork of the Feather River. I also intend to take it with me when your mom and I take Jason up to Vancouver, Canada and Glacier National Park sometime in August.

Later this month, we'll be spending a few days at Lake Tahoe as guests of Gladys and Ted at their Timeshare.

In September we plan to attend two reunions; the first in Boulder City for the 31'ers Club and the second, the Bushmasters in Mesa, Arizona. Retirement is sweet, but I'm very busy.
