and five grandchildren (Jared, Regan, Braden, Graham and Gracie).
Planning on getting back into flying since my older granddaughter,
Regan Kauderer wants to learn to fly and I have all my FAA ratings
(Commercial Pilot, Single Engine and Multi-Engine, Instrument and
Chief Flight Instructor ratings). Should come in handy when she goes
off to college in a couple of years...
Some of the more interesting events in my life were taking my family
to Europe (Hamburg, Germany and Amsterdam) on one of my business
trips to Lufthansa and KLM in 1990, my one and my only trip around
the world in 1991 (with stops in Tokyo, Bangkok and Karachi
and then back home via Paris.
Currently updating our home (built-in 1954) to bring it into the 21st
century.
Getting ready to go on another vacation (second one this year) to
visit Judy's two sisters (Ashvillle, NC and Atlanta) and then on to
Nashville to visit nearby plantations and the Grand Ole Opry)!
