Nov-Dec 2011/ Connecticut, North Carolina, Florida

December 29th, 2011 Posted in 2011, Connecticut, Florida, North Carolina

November was a month of re-connecting, but it started out on a bittersweet note as Sareet went to Connecticut to meet some of his college crew friends. The reunion was in mourning/celebration of the early passing of Chuck McGlashan, a great captain, who touched many of us. We dedicated a boat in his honor and celebrated his short but intensive life.

Shaun continued his running and set some great P.R’s, and his high school cross country team finished 3rd at States, and he and his friend and teammate Alex raced at Foot Locker Nationals in North Carolina. We got in a brief visit with our friends the Kinlins, while we were in Charlotte. The team was really a major part of Shaun’s high school experience. After track season in the fall, he hopes to be able to continue to run in college.

We had a great Thanksgiving with our friends the Fitzgibbons visiting us from Ireland. We had met them in Youghal over the past summer, and Sareet meets Johnny each year during the now annual Ireland golf trip. It was fun for the Indians to host the pilgrims. We had a post-Thanksgiving mini-reunion with Jon, Kyle, Liza, Chris ( Sareet’s high school classmates from a Class of 38 students). That’s almost a quorum. Sareet also re-connected with tennis friend he had not seen in over 30 years (Alan, Bubba & Scott)

The biggest surprise of the year was our final act of the year, bringing another living being into our lives, our new Samoyed Tzar. This has been a 10 year discussion on whether or not to do it, and we finally found the perfect pet to bring into our lives. Now that Sareet has finally given in, he wishes he had done it 10 years earlier. Hope to see many of you in 2012.

Keep in Touch!
