Howdy everyone,

Well I am about to embark on a massive road trip soon. I am heading to Denver for the DNC and then off to Minneapolis for the RNC. I know it has been a while since I last updated this forum so I thought with time on my hands I would say a few words. It was a great start to the year as I was hoping for an election year on the road to many new places and developing new friends along the way but also catching up with new old ones as well.

I finally ran into Bob Van from used to be WCNC who now works for the NBC Network out of Chicago. He has always been a good friend and Sat truck op. As for others they come and go as well. The summer was kinda of slow not what I was expecting at all. My summer started with me and mom heading to Niagara Falls for vacation with my friend Sid Michaels from my old days at WBRE and his family. A good time was had by all. We ran the rapids in a Jet boat, walked to see the falls at night and day. Fireworks, my mom road the boat under the falls so she was happy she hadn't been there in 50 years so she had fun. Our next trip will be to Kaui, Hawaii  in April of next year. That will be a new experience for each of us.

As far as I know everyone back in Raleigh is good. Janine in Charlotte is doing great she too will be in Denver for the DNC plus on the 24th will be our Birthday so I am hoping we can get together for a dinner or lunch. Russell is still holding down the fort. Tom Speziale is moving to Concord at the end of the month for a new job, congrats to him. 

Well as I make my trip west I will try to post new pics at each stop so stay tuned.
