FIRST KAYAKING ADVENTURE



















Today Jack and I finally got out in my new inflatable kayak. We went to the nearby Keller Lake. Fortunately, two young canoists helped me inflate the craft. And this charming lady held the craft in place as Jack and I boarded. I wish to thank these Good Samaritans. And we were off! And it was good - I had not paddled in more than a decade. The boat is amazingly stable. Jack is amazing. He is fearless. He will do whatever I want to do without any objections. I look forward to a few more outings before winter arrives.

LOYOLA CLASSMATES







On Oct. 2 Jack and I went to Mankato to have lunch with Patty Postels, Rosale, and Jane Hall. (or so I thought) To my delight, half the class was there. I had a wonderful time catching up with friends whom I hadn't talked to for many years.
