- Don enjoyed his Easter, gathered with loved ones. Additionally, he woke this morning to a favorable review in The Daily Star of his book, ‘Three Worlds, One Voyage. Congratulations, Don.
- Beckie is proud of our women, Basketball Wildcats, who made it to the finals. She is also relieved that her husband is better. So much so that they went to lunch at Nana’s.
- Andy shared that a close friend and colleague died very unexpectedly. He is staying in Portland currently for his 2nd vaccine shot. While waiting, he bought himself a house there.
- Laura is sorely disappointed in the Men Wildcats Basketball team. However, she’s absolutely delighted our neighborhood’s infrastructure is being attended to. Terribly ruined roads are being paved anew.
- Denise felt blessed to have spent Easter with siblings. She also is happy she was invited to a staff member’s wedding, as it’s being held in Acapulco,
- Bob marveled at the identicalness of his 2 year-old twin granddaughters. Even the parents are having difficulty differentiating between the two. Bob is eagerly readying to put his boat in the water.
- John had lovely Easter where all the grandchildren went upstairs to watch a Godzilla movie. He is ecstatic that the NCAA tournament has begun (or is about to begin?.) The tournament is the highlight of John’s year.
