Third Generation Hokie!

Well, it is inevitable. They are born, they grow up too fast, they learn a bit about life, and then they go to a university. Here are just a few pictures from Carey Beth's move in at Va Tech. She went up Wednesday to attend band camp for the Marching Virginians, the 330 member marching band. We heard the good news Friday night that she made the band after three days of auditions. We are very very proud of her!

This is a pix of her dorm room. See the old guy in the white tee shirt? His Name is Darrell. I worked with him 20 years ago in Alexandria. His daughter, Sara, is CB's roommate. What are the chances of that? Catherine is sitting in the closest chair, and Darrell's youngest kid, Dixie, is sitting back by the window. Check Darrell's family website here. He has a much more robust site than I do.


This is the hallowed and sacred turf of Lane Stadium. You can see Carey Beth's shadow on the ground. They got to practice on the field today and the football team had a scrimmage. So very cool.

More pictures to come ...

Canadaigua!

Well, it was that time of the year again. 100 degrees and 100% humidity in Chesterfield, New York finger lakes here we come! As always, the Kellogg's were the consummate hosts and we had a wonderful time. Met some new folks too.

Coming soon, videos on YouTube of the weekend & water sports.

Check here for all the pictures from the weekend. You do not need to create an account to view the pictures.

Enjoy, the summer is almost over!
