Home

We made the long trip back from Denver yesterday.  15 days, 3,000 miles and many great family memories.  I was asleep by 8:30 p.m.  A great way to usher in the new year.  Happy 2017.  Attached is my annual picture of Craig's new year's location where he works at Hermes in the Bellagio.  Thank goodness they closed early.  Only 500,000 people showed up.  May God give all my friends and family a happy and healthy new year!

A very early morning trip to Tulsa as Craig flew back to Las Vegas.  Brian  took the ride down the turnpike with me.  Returning to Columbus we had to get donuts.  The family enjoyed them very much.

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving from Kansas!

Birthday

Sure enjoyed my 55th birthday.

Letter

Dad/Mom:

I just got back from our annual Veterans Day assembly at the high school.  It's always a moving tribute to all those who serve and have served for our Nation.  We had about 50 former community veterans in attendance and about 800 students, staff and community members.  

Dad, Thank you for serving our Country so I have the freedom to do what I enjoy the most, working for kids!  I have the freedom to give my political viewpoints (sometimes positive, sometimes negative) because of people like you who loved this Country and wanted to give back to make sure your own boys, grand kids and now great grand daughter had that freedom.  I am proud of you and your service.  I tell your story often.

Love,

David
