High Priest Group Leader

Dad was called last week to be the new High Priest Group Leader. He was sustained today in Priesthood meeting by the High Priest group as the new High Priest Group Leader with David Lichlyter as his first assistant. Joe Holmes will be called and also sustained as the second assistant. Kirk Jones is the outgoing group leader. He and his wife, Karen, moved to another ward boundary. We wish them well in their new surroundings.

Dad will try to put new, energetic life into the High Priest group. Traditionally, most people think of the High Priest group as the retirement community of the church. Is there such a place? I think not!!! We'll see how successful Dad is in this new endeavor!!

San Francisco Trip - 2007

During our trip last summer to San Francisco and eventually to San Diego, we took a day ride around the Castro Valley area to a scenic area known as Mount Diablo State Park. I distracted Barbara as we were maneuvering the switch back roads on our way down from the peak. Barbara endured a slow speed accident resulting in a few broken ribs, a broken clavical, and a punctured lung. She spent 10 glorious days in the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. She has survived to ride again. She got back in the saddle and has ridden to school already this year.
