Summer Break

Summer has arrived and we are gearing up for our next adventure. However, before we do, I must brag about the students of Fox Tech. This years class of seniors are incredible. As teachers, we always have one or two students every year that you know will achieve greatness in life. Once in a blue moon you have an entire group that you sense greatness from. From this group of seniors future leaders in business, industry, medicine, law and numerous other fields of endeavor will arise. I moved to SA three years ago with idea of making a difference in the lives of inner city kids. The opposite has happened. They have truly impacted my life in positive ways far beyond my wildest dreams.

We will spend time in Del Rio, Colorado and yes, Branson, MO. You know you join the ranks of the older crowd when Branson is on your travel list. We will have a great time with the Steigers. We must name the trip "Bob and Rob's Excellent Adventures?"

Mitch will finish the first phase of pilot training at the end of June. We will Travel to Del Rio for the end of his training. I know both he and Christy are looking forward to the next phase. Of course, that means a move somewhere else.

Michael is deployed and will not be back until sometime in the Fall. Whitney is spending time between Oklahoma and Texas. We are looking forward to her visiting SA. Continue to pray for Michaels safety as he performs his duties in the Middle East.

Marshall is the Cadet Commander for BCT (basic cadet training) at the Air Force Academy this summer. We are looking forward to traveling to Colorado Springs for a chance to see him in action. Of course we will have to try the jeep out on some rugged mountain trails (perhaps in the Pitkin/Tincup area.
