DIONE, SAUL, MOLLIE, MAUREEN & MAT

DIONE, SAUL AND MOLLIE

Mollie is taking track at her school, and doing some track meets that keep her parents busy! She is not yet sure which events she wants to compete in. She is also doing piano lessons. Her school is suffering a bit from the recession, and loss of students and tuition, but is in no danger of closing or losing many programs.

Dione says the school where she teaches is doing okay and has not had to lay off any teachers, despite the bad economy. Saul's Antioch McGregor University is also doing fine, although has lost some students and tuition.

They have planted a big garden and are looking forward to lots of fresh food. Dione says it is hard work but worth it!

MAUREEN AND MAT

Maureen is coming to Phoenix for a meeting the first week of May. We will meet her there and look forward to a good visit! She just returned from a meeting in Washington, D.C., where she enjoyed getting together with some of her long-time friends. Mat has been consulting with the Billings Housing Authority, helping then with some research and proposal writing. He is enjoying the part-time work, now that he is "retired" from working for the State.

They are going on vacation the latter part of May, to New England and a Boston Red Sox baseball game! In the meantime, Maureen is beginning planting in her green house in the back yard, and plans to grow some good food as well.

AND IN TUCSON

We had a grand time this afternoon touring the new Ritz-Carlton Golf Club and Residences about 23 miles from our condo. It is the home of the Accenture Match Play Golf Tournament--a really big deal in Tucson, especially when Tiger Woods is here! Just for fun we visited a couple of the "model" residences. Absolutely gorgeous and only $2-3 million each!

Cheers,

Bill and Marie
