30 years;where does the time go? I am happy to report that I am still married to the coolest girl in the world, Lesley, it will be 26 years in November. We live about 20 K's west of Edmonton.Our children Darcy (25), Nick (23), and Naedene (18) have all turned out O.K. I credit their mom for that accomplishment.Darcy graduated from the U of A in December with her degree in Education. Nick after leading a vagabond life for a couple of years is in his third year of Economics at the university. Naedene graduated from high school in June and is thinking of entering the fine arts program. She is quite a talented artist and is deciding if she should pursue it as a career path.My parents are both healthy for the most part and still living in the house I was lucky enough to grow up in. I get out to the North Shore about 6 times a year to visit them.The big news for Lesley and I is that our oldest is expecting her first child in November. You all know what they say about payback so I will not repeat it. We are super excited to be Grandparents.All in all its been a pretty good life. I consider myself lucky to have grown up in West Van and luckier still to have had a lot of you as friends. From Canim Lake with Paul H and the Canim Lake Wildlife Society, to climbing with Gordon and Brian, to sailing w/ Dave M, traveling to Mexico in Chris D's beat up Datsun 510, to house boating with the Braddicks; I am and continue to be a lucky guy. See you in October.Rickps Thanks to Anne Murdock and who ever else is behind the scenes. This is has been fun.
