What’s been happening:

My wife, Joanne and myself are happily retired. We live in Joshua Tree, California. Joshua Tree is located in the Hi-Desert about 40 miles north of Palm Springs. We are only about two hours (100 miles) by auto from the traffic, smog and mass of people of Orange County, California, where we lived for 44 years. We have been blessed with 7 children and 14 grandchildren. I graduated from Penn State in 1956, I returned once in 1997 and could not believe how many new buildings had been added to the Campus. When I was a student the Hetzel Union Building (HUB) was built. I remember some of the festivities centered around the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Penn State in 1855. I used to like to go to the Creamery for ice cream.
