That's the Silverlining of a funeral
It was great seeing everybody Glenn
Going to Rent-A-Car sono one needs to pick me up
I'll be there Sunday evening at Palermo village
I arrive Sunday afternoon at 4:47
Hi Neal - can you share your plans with us and a contact number - Doug and Dad would like to connect if you're in town tonite - we're also planning an informal get together for Sun evening at Palermo Village
Will do!
Hope your having a good time in Hawaii. Tell everyone I said hi please.
Mom's moving slowly but they're both in good spirits. Dad just arranged to sell his business which closes at the end of August.
They've got the house up for sale, and we're in the process of helping them move stuff out, sell stuff etc. They've arranged to move into a nice apartment where they have daily meals in a nice dining room, but they have their own apartment and privacy.
That looks beautiful Glen. 407s are really good helicopters. How are your mom n dad doing?
Had the most amazing chopper tour over Hawaii's Big Island while there last week. Now I know what a Bell 407 is like.
Ha. I'll be here till September
No they're still looking. 60th anniversary next month. Are you staying over there for a while?
Not to bad here in Afghanistan. Have your mom and dad started moving yet?
Pretty darn good. It's JUNO Award weekend in Hamilton. Tons of fun. Yourself?
How's it going Glen?
Hi Neal, Here's the music magazine crowdfund project I'm heading up. It's keeping me busy in my "retirement" http://igg.me/at/GHMD/x/618193
No. It didn't out. My work schedule kept changing.
with all respect to the browns in Cedarville of course, did you get a chance to see those guys?
yeah! no snow tires required. bye bye OHIO
Sounds exciting. Dang.
All over.
Will do. I'll be seeing Arlene and mom and dad today; we're celebrating her 55th birthday today! Where in Afghanistan are you working?
Thanks for the update Glen. I've a major change. I got a flying job in Afghanistan. I've been here 3 weeks. Pass my best onto everyone please.
Hey Neal, Hope all's well. How's the flying business? As far as teaching goes, I've got about 250 new names to learn in 14 classes over 4 schools. That should keep my brain stimulated for the next little while. Tonight I'm off to a blues gig at the Corktown Tavern with a blues guy named Big Johnny Blue. Makes for a late night but it's always fun to pick up the sticks and make a few bucks on the side.
Hi Glen
Hey Neal, things are moving ahead swimmingly. This is a busy week with getting the classrooms all set up for after Labour Day. The summer, as usual, has flown by. We're all well. Ian and Olivia are in driver's ed school this week - in"car"cerated in a classroom!
How do Glen?!
I agree!
Hi Glen. It was great seeing you and everyone. Hopefully it won't be so long next time.
Hi Neal. This is great news. For sure we'd like to see you. You need to meet my family out here in Hamillton, which is just about a 25 min. drive from Mom and Dad in Oakville. Or, depending on where you're planning to stay, we can connect with you there. My phone at home is 905-549-4082, cell is 905-973-4083. Glen
It would be the weekend of June 7 and 8
Good morning Glen. How are you? I'm living in Ohio now. I'd like to come and visit your mom and dad and you and everyone else and about three weeks would you be up for that?
No problem! Ron and Jean Brown, 248 Slater Crescent, Oakville, Ontario, L6K 2C8 phone 905-844-3050
Hi Glen, Would you send me some contact info for your mom and dad please. Neal
Nice. Work it. I'm still finding blue paint in unexpected orifices.
Hi Glen. Thanks for keeping in touch. Bob, Sandy and Mary Ann are coming down to Las Vegas for my 50th birthday next week. We're all doing pretty good. Please past my best on to your Mom and Dad and everyone else. I've told your story about the can of blue paint and the drill press a few more times.
Thanks for posting that nice picture. Here's some news from the Browns, to keep you posted. My niece Sarah, Gerry's daughter, has just graduated from Prague Film School, receiving the Best Actress award. She plans to move to LA next. My oldest daughter Olivia is up north planting trees and is dodging forest fires and bears, but having a great time. She starts music at Mohawk College in the fall after finishing a year of music at U of T. I'm still teaching in Hamilton. A few years to go until I put my chalk down. Brenda and I are having lots of fun with music projects. She's working with a guitarist getting some gigs around, and I'm playing weekends with a cover band. My mom and dad are doing well. We just saw them last weekend. My dad continues to amaze me; recently turning 81, he just completed a model radio control airplane that had been gathering dust for years in our crawlspace. They say one secret of longevity is to have the idea of, "I'm just starting to learn how to do something new..." so he's an example of that. Thankfully his health is holding up. My mom is still getting around OK, although stairs are painful for her hip. That will do for now. Hope you are having a great time flying around everywhere :) I'm attaching the link to Brenda's website. Give a listen. They do Vegas special events by the way. lol http://roomfor2music.com
Hi Neal, This is your cousin from Hamilton trying to catch up to you!
