Thanks for the pictures, Roger.

You look like you have a lovely family. And your daughter is a beaut!

Would love to take you up on the offer for a ride on Calypso II.

However, we'll have to look at timings, etc. as we're scheduled to do some cottaging with friends, and my primary focus this summer has to be the setting up of a cake shop - if the banks will oblige.

I'll talk to Jackie and see what else she's got in the pipeline.

Would you mind if I use this picture of you and Ann on board the boat in our MSB publications? Or do you have a close-up of yourself to offer?

Nigel

A few recent pics as promised.

As I said, we're both lucky guys to have great families.

Give us a few days' notice, and perhaps all four of us can meet over a drink or food, or even take Calypso II out for a spin (if you don't get seasick).

I'm striving to become a competent photographer, with very modest success so far.

If interested, some of my images are on photo.net which is probably the oldest & best photography website -essential if you're at all interested in Photography.

Rather than type a long URL which I can never remember,

Google my name and it should be close to the top.

                                Kind regards to you & family,

                                            Roger

Seheult, Mac - My wife (Cathy) and I live in Houston where I am employed as Manager of Technology Support for Kelco Oil Field Group.

We have six kids between us, three on either side from previous marriages, and they are all out of the house..Yes!!

All but two are married; two boys from my side of the team, and we have four grad-kids (two and two), however I refuse to be called "Granddad"..

I am not THAT old. Our hobbies are travel, golf and boating.

We spend weekends on our boat in the Galveston area where we are building our retirement home although we do not plan nor can we afford to retire now.

It would be great to see the old boys from MSB.

Look me up in the Houston phone book if you are passing through.

The jpg that you emailed me is the best resolution you will get.

I cannot find the original photo and it might be in an off-site storage facility. 

When we retired in 2015, we moved to Vermont into a smaller house and placed lot (too much) in storage. 

Not sure where exactly the pictures are and one day will have to search for them.

You will have to do with what you have.

As they say in the old country "sajnalom"

20-11-2017 +44 7956 345480: Please look at the speech that was read yesterday at the retreat by the Pope. Regardless of religion, see how beautifully Pope Francis wrote about the family. 
FAMILY, PLACE OF FORGIVENESS ... 
There is no perfect family. We do not have perfect parents, we are not perfect, we do not marry a perfect person or have perfect children. 
We have complaints from each other. We disappoint each other. So there is no healthy marriage or healthy family without the exercise of forgiveness. 
Forgiveness is vital to our emotional health and spiritual survival. Without forgiveness the family becomes an arena of conflict and a stronghold of hurt. 
Without forgiveness, the family becomes ill. Forgiveness is the a sepsis of the soul, the cleansing of the mind and the liberation of the heart. 
Whoever does not forgive does not have peace in the soul nor communion with God. Hurt is poison that intoxicates and kills. Keeping heartache in the heart is a self-destructive gesture. It's autophagy. 
Those who do not forgive are physically, emotionally and spiritually ill. 
That is why the family must be a place of life, not of death; 
Territory of cure and not of illness; 
Stage of forgiveness and not guilt. 
Forgiveness brings joy where sorrow has produced sadness; 
Healing, where sorrow has caused disease.
- Pope Francisco
