Alas, I will not be attending the 2014 reunion as I had hoped. Ironically, I was just in Ames a few days ago for my father's burial and memorial service (he died July 15).

The good news is after renting at various locations in Florida for 13 years, I have finally found a community (somewhat inland and on high ground) where I want to buy (in the process of buying a townhouse and making plans to build).

Have a great reunion everyone !! (and someone is welcome to my Saturday night dinner)
