| We arrived in Bristol, Rhode Island, at the
beginning of July where we visited our good friends Mark and Darlene
Frederick. We stayed with them in their beautiful home for almost a
week. We were treated with concerts in the park, the Bristol
Independence Day parade, a 4th of July cookout party, and lots of fried
clams for Mike. (Mark and Darlene, thanks for your fabulous
hospitality. Lucy says thanks for letting her stay with you, too.) |

| We rented a car and drove up to Quincy, MA, a
suburb of Boston and Mike's hometown. We enjoyed a visit with Mike's
Auntie Cleta and Auntie Julia and his cousins Charlie and Gary. Also
got to see his best friend from high school, Jimmy Wilson and his wife,
Cindy. So glad we caught up with all of you! |

 |
| Our dear friend Sue Burton invited us to use
the mooring behind her vacation home in Swansea, MA. She arrived
(from Texas) with a couple of her girlfriends a few days later and we had
the greatest time! We spent a day on the water in Sue's 'go-fast'
boat. Went all the way to Jamestown and Newport, RI. Then we
had drinks and snacks on Aquila at the end of the day. |

| My sister Valarie and aunt Nola met us in
Swansea (they also came out from Texas), then sailed with us to Martha's
Vineyard, Cape Cod, and Nantucket. Ten days flew by so
quickly. We all had a terrific time. This is their second trip
with us. Last year they joined us in Italy. Mike and I really
enjoy having them on board and look forward to their next visit! |

| We got together with Mike's longtime friend from Boston,
Mike Grady (also a retired agent) and his wife Ellen who spend their
summers at their home on Cape Cod. It was a lot of fun for the guys
to reminisce about the days when they worked together.
Now it's just us and we are back at Martha's Vineyard. We plan to
sail to Cuttyhunk, then Block Island. Within a week we will be back
in New Jersey where Linda will stay on board while Mike attends a Retired
Agents Reunion in California Aug. 10-13. |
