Mr. B, Collene and me


Collene and Bob's new home and Coco the fishing dog.


Today we headed out for the far north. Our destination? Bryan, Ohio, home of Dum dum suckers and the "Etch a Sketch" capitol of the world. Oh and it is also home of a friend of ours that we used to teach with 15 years ago. When we found out that we were invited to a friends wedding in Toledo we decided that we would make a small detour and visit Collene and her husband Bob. We drove 3 1/2 hours northwest and found ourselves about 5 miles from both Indiana and Michigan. We attended a tailgate dinner and football game at Sherwood Fairview where Bob and Collene's son plays football. It really was a scenic drive and a beautiful night for football. We spent the night and next morning visiting and remembering the "good old days" at West Jeff. Collene taught one of the learning disabled classes but has since switched over to the "dark" side and is now an administrator (elementary principal). She showed us her school, grades 1-5 with about 500 students. We are so glad we decided to visit, we had a fabulous time and are looking forward to another visit in the near future.
