Celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary this summer, Nancy and I visited
Copenhagen and Oslo for several days, then traveled across southern Norway to go
by ship north into the fjords of the western coast. We passed a number of ports
between Bergen and the arctic circle, arriving finally at Kirkenes which borders
the tip of Russia. There was dramatic scenery and also some unusually warm
weather during that final part of the trip. Along the way we were also able to
visit our daughter Andrea and new son-in-law Todd, who were married last October
in Michigan and are now living on the upper east side of Manhattan. Starting
this fall she has a new teaching position in Rye, NY, while Todd works in the
city.
This last January was special too for the family, with son Greg and
daughter-in-law Karen having the birth of their first child, Ryan. An exciting
time for everyone.
