Hi friends and relatives! Haven't posted anything here in a long time. Been very busy. Hope all of you are doing well. Things are going great here.

Amanda is having a wonderful time at Univ. of Miami. Getting good grades and involved in a lot of fun activities. She went to a Good Charlotte concert at the university last night and got to meet all of the band members. They all signed her purse!
Check out her Halloween costume and her friends:

I've been busy with work and my new hobby: building and flying radio-controlled airplanes. Here are some pictures of my first plane that I built (it is in my basement workshop in these photos):



It has a 6-foot wingspan and I installed an O.S. 61-FX engine in it that burns glow plug fuel (nitromethane mixed with some other things). It flies really well. Did some flying today at a local flying field. I spent about 30 hours putting this plane together. I joined the Coosa Valley Flyers club. Lots of nice people who are very experienced in building and flying these kind of planes.







Still very interested in learning to fly a trike or an ultralight. My trike flying instructor friend was involved in a motorcycle accident a few weeks ago, so he's out of commission for a while.

Nancy is doing well. She finally (after 18 months) is no longer the state president of the Medical Association of Georgia Alliance. But she still stays very busy.

Marlowe is enjoying high school and doing very well. She is involved in a lot of after school activities (dance, chorus, tennis, piano lessons, oil painting lessons). She went as a "serial killer" to the halloween party and dance at her school Friday night. Nancy glued some cereal boxes to a shirt and the boxes had knives stabbing into them. Cute idea, I thought.

Well, have to go to bed. Exhausted and tomorrow's going to be a long day at work.

Take care and stay in touch!
