From Tom:
Since retiring: Built a new barn. The old barn became a full shop. Jackie and I spend some time at Tahoe. Went to Death Valley with the travel trailer to see the flowers at Easter Week 2005. Absolutely spectacular!!! I’m still doing some teaching at Santa Rosa Comm. College Fire Fighter I Academies. Jackie and I have gone to a lot of concerts - Jimmy Buffet, Clapton, Stone, McCartney etc. Finally, Bill Pryor and I manage to see “The road less traveled” on our Dualsport BMW 650 GS Dakar Motorcycles. Sometimes with Doc Rivers. Bill and I have seen a lot of beautiful country. Then Jackie and I will double back with the trailer for a second look. April 2005 found us at a “Blacksmith” conference. So, hopefully, that hobby will start again.
Later,
Tom (AKA Captain Huggie)
