We here in the Fischer House are looking forward to a better year in 2007. We had a few major bumps in the road this past year - there was Sean's Melanoma, Aunt Dale's sudden passing and the tragic accident that claimed Kyle's roommate and friend Andy.
All the news was not bad in 2006, here are some of the highlights from the past year.
Colleen continues to teach the third grade in Las Vegas while also earning a Masters Degree in Curriculum development at UNLV. Scott continues to work on his Slavic Studies doctorate in Seattle at the University of Washington. Planning for their upcoming nuptials is almost complete. The wedding ceremony will be on June 23rd in Las Vegas with a reception in Erie on July 14th.
Daniel graduated from the University of Pittsburgh and landed a great job at Dick's Sporting Goods corporate office in Pittsburgh. He's currently in their training program and getting experience in all areas of the company. He has an apartment in Moon Township - stop in and visit if you're in the Pittsburgh area!
Sean completed the Duathalon at the peninsula this summer. He is in his third year at the University of Pittsburgh, majoring in Chemistry with his eye on medical school upon graduation. He has developed a passion for rock climbing and now climbs along with his running and biking. Sean is doing well and continuing to get skin checks every four months.
Kyle graduated with honors from McDowell High School in June and entered The Ohio State University with his friend Andy P. to major in Journalism. He hit a major stumbling block with the elevator tragedy, but has gone back to OSU and finished the first term with great success. Andy will always be in our hearts and will certainly watch over Kyle.
Sam is in the tenth grade at McDowell High School. He played on the Varsity and Junior Varsity soccer teams this fall and continues to play club soccer as well. He turned 16 on November 17th and we will be turning him loose on the streets of Erie - beware!
Zachary is in the 8th grade at OLCS (our final year of tuition!). He is playing soccer and has a renewed interest in running. Zach was part of a trio that won the choreography award at the school talent contest. We expect big things from him!
