My 60th birthday celebration was not as elaborate. The 60th birthday cake my basketball buddies got me was dropped on the basketball floor. But at the age of 60, I'm thankful that I am still playing basketball. Thankful that I got to travel a lot this year. I was able to get to Charleston, WV to visit with my great baseball buddy, Scott Robinson, the West Virginia Powers' number one fan. Also a great inspiration to me as he is also awaiting a heart transplant. |

My travels took me to North Dakota. I got to visit Bismarck and see some of the places where Lewis and Clark visited. The real reason for the trip was to get to Fargo for the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the statue of my 33x Great Grandfather, Rollo the Viking. Also at the event was ninth cousin K.J. Pearsall who is into the Pearsall genalogy. Learned a lot about our family history from him. Very thankful for my opportunity to teach college. Below right is Virginia Marti Veith herself, the founder of the college. Teaching there gives me lots of opportunities to photograph fashion shows and other events there. |

Equally thankful for the students and staff at Miami-Jacobs Career College where I have the privilege to teach and the opportunity to shoot the graduation photos there. As I mentioned, I'm very thankful for the opportunity to travel. Had a great time in New Orleans, the first time visiting there. Statues abound including Andrew Jackson and fountains honoring jazz musicians. Everyone in New Orleans is having fun and although still overcoming Hurricane Katrina, there is a reminder how beautiful we all are. Got to visit two new stadiums. Petco Park in San Diego where there is a statue of Padre great Tony Gwynn. Above right, I got to Russel Diethrick Park in Jamestown, NY. The batter is Cleveland Indians first round draft choice, Tyler Naquin. Those are the 84th and 85th baseball stadiums I visited. |
