attend<strong>in</strong>g Bethany Lutheran College (to play<br />
baseball, OK to learn too). My son Britt will be<br />
start<strong>in</strong>g 8th grade this year and he is also very<br />
busy with sports (basketball and baseball). So<br />
that is how I’ve spent my time s<strong>in</strong>ce the last<br />
reunion. I’ve seen a lot of classmates whose<br />
children are the same ages at these events.<br />
I’m look<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g some hobbies of my<br />
own too, though I don’t th<strong>in</strong>k that I’m f<strong>in</strong>ished<br />
watch<strong>in</strong>g sport<strong>in</strong>g events yet. I have been<br />
th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g lately that I would really like to learn<br />
how to ride horses. I would also like to volunteer<br />
some time work<strong>in</strong>g with the Humane<br />
Society and/or maybe Habitat for Humanity.<br />
Maybe take some classes at SCTC or MSU. I<br />
would also like to go white water raft<strong>in</strong>g. Who<br />
knows where life will take me? Just like Nike<br />

I took my son Trevor out to New York and Bos-<br />
-26-<br />
ton for his graduation gift. We took a Sports<br />
and Travel Tour and watched the Tw<strong>in</strong>s play<br />
baseball aga<strong>in</strong>st the New York Yankees at Yankee<br />
Stadium and the Boston Red Sox at Fenway<br />
Park. We also visited Cooperstown for the<br />
Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. We visited<br />
the Statue of Liberty, took the subway, and saw<br />
a Broadway play, “Mama Mia” (that brought<br />
back memories with all the ABBA songs). We<br />
walked to Time Square, Grand Central Station<br />
and the Empire <strong>State</strong> Build<strong>in</strong>g (our hotel was<br />
only blocks away). Four years before I took my<br />
daughter to Cancun where we went horse back<br />
rid<strong>in</strong>g and snorkel<strong>in</strong>g. I wonder where I will<br />
visit <strong>in</strong> five more years when I get to take my<br />
son Britt somewhere for his graduation.<br />

All <strong>in</strong> all, it has been a pretty good 25 years<br />

Eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g, developed some lifelong friends<br />

we lived <strong>in</strong> M<strong>in</strong>neapolis work<strong>in</strong>g and hang<strong>in</strong>g<br />
