Back in 1949 Bud married Cathie, the girl next door. Last August they celebrated their 66th Wedding Anniversary! Tonight Bud, their children, their families and friends gathered at the home of their daughter Alice to celebrate Cathie’s life. Together we raised a toast to The Girl Next Door and to all the life lessons she imparted to us with style and grace! The celebration didn’t conclude until grandsons David and Greg arrived from Canton and Boston!
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
