Hey Annie. Tom is off to Whitewater, safe and sound. We left later, as was recommended, and there were only three cars in front of the dorm and NO campus traffic at all. Since his room is right by the dorm entrance, it took us less than 30 minutes to move all his stuff in. Shades of Annie org!! I now have five subscription concerts to play this fall, five with Oshkosh, one with Green Bay, two with Sheboygan, and there is a trombone opening with Fox Valley. I've also been asked to play in a quintet featuring the area's top brass players, and had a great time playing with the Wisconsin Wind Ensemble again. So far, retirement has been everything I hoped for. Mike reports that recruiting went well for Sig Eps this fall, including a couple of behemoths to solidify their "tugs" team. Grandma is going to write you a letter and ask me to email it to you. Rather than use the blog, I will probably prepare it as a document, and then attach it to an email. Please let me know when it arrives if you were able to open it. Brookie sends her love; now that my toes are fully recovered from Colorado, she is once again enjoying daily romps in the forest. The weather here has been spectacular almost all the time; temps in the 70s and just enough rain not to ruin beautiful days. Please include juicy details next note; everyone is probably info-starved.
