Family News - July 2008

Amanda is working! She currently works for a retail store in Erie, and she has checked that there is the same store at State College where she will transfer to in the fall as she begins (can you believe it?) her Junior year at Penn State. This summer she is also putting in two weeks as a coach at a Water Polo summer camp at the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. The head coach is rumored to having said to her, "Well, Amanda, I think you found your second calling." Amanda croaked a reply because she had lost her voice encouraging the kids in their game.

Jonathan walked in the graduation ceremony at UCSB this June. Not only was this a grand event, but it took place on Father's Day. It was a truly wonderful day. Jonathan is finishing the last couple of courses this summer, and then he is moving to San Diego.

Ann and I are in Orlando, enjoying the summer: working, barbecuing, going to the beach, reading, and exploring Florida.
