Well it has been a long long time since this page has been added to. Lots and lots of water under the bridge. The first trip to Australia is four years ago and there has been a trip to New Zealand and one more to Australia. These trips will be added to the one that you can access here on the site.

Saw several of these in the wild.

There have been tons of sporting events that the kid has either been in or spectated. He names soccer as his number one love tho he did well in baseball where he made the All-star team. He gave basketball a try and was on a very well coached team which did well too.

Well a lot of water has passed under the ole bridge since I last updated this. Ian is now 15 and baseball is no longer in the picture. Soccer still is and so is basketball, tennis, and sailing. He is on the varsity in both the soccer and sailing. He has just completed his freshman year at Taft High and has done very well academically. We are quite proud of that. He is also working at the studio and is becoming pretty good with all that entails. His finished pieces show great progress in these two years and he has developed an easy and open demeanor with our visitors.

Anne is over 10 years out from her bout with breast cancer and so it looks like she has that beat. She continues to work blowing glass and is busy in the garden when the sun shows its face, The front yard is a showpiece from all of the work she has done there. She's helped with the music program at the High School for the past three years. She is also on the yacht club board as the education chair and is helping with the school sailing team.

I, Buzz, am doing my day at the studio. I still enjoy playing chess on the Internet (ICC) and during the school year spend my mornings tutoring in the math department at the High School. Orchids have reappeared as an interest and I enjoy spending time in the greenhouse tending to them.
