We had a short trip to Florida over Christmas.
We spent a week in Florida in Ruskin, Florida a few miles from Gretchen’s Mom’s new house.
We arrived on December 22 and came home on December 30.
We visited the Ewing Family where Megan’s cousins were having dinner on Thursday, the 23rd.
We had a wonderful dinner on Christmas Eve and a lot of fun on Christmas day

There was a small retirement party for Barb, Gretchen’s Mom.
We did Miniature Golf one day and went to the Tampa Zoo, the zoo was very enjoyable.
While in Florida I got an email from the American Academy of Actuaries and they wanted to do a short piece about me, they call it the “Member Spotlight”. Take a look at page 5 where that article appears.

Megan took the headshot that they used.
Of course I did a lot of running when we were down in the warm Florida weather, early in the morning.
We had a great visit and I was so thrilled to see you and Megan. I love the article highlighting some of your career. It was interesting to see how you started and became interested in that field. I’m also glad it highlighted your outside interests, which play an important part in who you are. I didn’t realize you went to the Tampa Zoo while visiting. I joined Busch Gardens primarily for the zoo prospect of the park because I love zoo’s. Have a very happy, healthy New Year!
