Family and Friends

Thought you might like to meet me, my family and some of my friends. 

After you scroll past the shot of me, you'll see a picture taken last Christmas at my Mom's house.  Most years my three brothers, their families and mine gather there for a meal and gift-giving.  Regan is my youngest, 32 years old now.  Hayden is the oldest at 34.

Golf is one of my passions and Elisabeth has just learned to play after being married to me for 38 years.  I enjoy going out with her most of all.

The guys in the third photo are old friends of mine.  We don't get together as often as we once did but we always have a good time when we do.  They live in Atlanta and came down to see me this past June.  We golfed, pigged out, drank and philosophied about the problems in the world.

The great foursome in the next picture was taken last winter in Palm Springs, California.  We were there with our wives for a week and all of us enjoyed this brief escape from the terribly cold east coast weather.

Every fall the group in the fifth shot travels to Burnsville, NC, for a week of golf and fun.  We play all our rounds at the Mt. Mitchell Golf Club which sits in the South Toe River Valley at the foot of Mt. Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi.  The scenery is so beautiful there that the golf is a secondary activity. 

The final shot is of Inky, an eleven-year-old Shih-Tzu, who is also a member of our family.  She is a "people" dog, has never met a stranger, and follows me everywhere I go.  She likes Cesar dog food, bagels with cream cheese and long walks.
