In late November 1999, Barbara and I traveled to Australia and New Zealand. As part of our trip, we took a detour and visited Diane and her family. Here are a few of the photos we took during our visit. It was great seeing her again. As you can see, sh e has not changed much and is as nice as ever. I also got to meet 4 of her 5 children but failed to take all of their pictures, except for Luke's. Enjoy!

I had a great time at the Schutz reunion! It was fun seeing old friends and sharing our experiences old and new. It was also great to make new friends. Of course, there were enough Bacas there to make it a mini-family reunion for us. I also enjoyed run ning the very challenging 5 Km cross-country course. After 25 years of running it was the first time I've won a race! I have a few photos that you may be interested in seeing.
