Don Brown: We moved to Lawrence five years ago to be closer to our daughter and her husband. The five years have been great.

Would you believe our daughter and her husband, Carrie and Ken Arnold, as of the 27th of this month move to Estes Park, CO, where on the first of March they sign and take over a great resort, Deer Crest Lodge. Talk about travel – it looks like we are going to get into a lot of that in the years to come.

Jerry Nossaman: Any member knowing a potential candidate for the U. S. Naval Academy (junior in high school or lower), please forward such information to Jerry Nossaman, Naval Academy Information Officer. This year we had no applicants from Lawrence for Annapolis.
