Ronnee and I hunkered in during 2020 like everyone else. I started working from home the year before the pandemic hit so there really wasn't much of transition for me with the exception of travel. I had been traveling globally about 150,000 miles a year but obviously that stopped. Just starting to travel again domestically and maybe later in the year internationally. Ronnee is a real estate agent and business was off considerably here but we have enjoyed just being together more.

Our son Michael just got his Masters Degree in Analytics at Georgia Tech and has been living in Nashville since he graduated from Belmont University in 2010. He is married to a wonderful girl...Lauren.  We love visiting them because Nashville is such a great place. As a matter of fact I am sending you this from there right now. Our daughter Sarah lives in Miami with her husband Chuck and we just found out yesterday they are expecting a baby girl in October!  Our first grandchild!

Michael, his wife Lauren, Sarah and I hiked to Everest Base Camp in October of 2017. It had been a bucket list of mine for a long time and Sarah said "Come on Dad...Let's do this!" So we did. What a great trip it was.

I'm still working and loving it. Can't wait to get back to traveling internationally.  Ronne and I got a puppy...a Schnoodle. Her name is Lucy and she company for Ronnee when I am on the road and so much to fun to have around.

I play a lot of golf in the summer with Greg Reynolds and my brother David.

I still have so much I want to do and see so I keep the pedal to the metal in my life.

I'll try to catch up more often. It is so good to read what everyone is up to and to stay connected through the blog. Thank you for all you do to keep this going!

So long for now...

 Well ... life is rolling along far too fast,  Ms Doolittle

Been married 44 years now ... got three kids, all in their thirties .. all married ... all got jobs

One grand-daughter ... and another grand-kid coming this month

Did my last overseas gig three years ago, and have been chillin ever since spending summers in Seattle and the rest of the year in northern VA.  Grand-daughter is in Brooklyn and we spend time every month up there helping out ... will head up in a few days to be around for number two and spend a month on a mattress on the floor in a vacant apartment helping our daughter and husband cope with a new born and 18 month old in their miniscule 800 square feet of space.

Spent much of the year delivering food to seniors scared/not able to go out of their homes ... it was (and still is) pretty amazing how many people stand in line to get food from the county food bank every day

Whatever ... if I counted right using all my fingers and toes,  I think we are coming up on our 55th year since we graduated from FM this  summer.  It might be worth trying to do a zoom reunion for all interested?

Stay safe, Debby .. and keep on herding all us cats
