Lin writes-
" I retired several years ago (it wasn't my idea).  Building an O gauge train layout, traveling occasionally with my wife Lorrie, riding my 1966 Norton Atlas motorcycle now and then, active in the Paoli-Malvern-Berwyn Rotary Club.  Our daughter, Susannah, is married and living in Monterey, CA (they are moving to the east coast this summer!)  Our son, Franklin, is single and living in Manayunk.  I'm looking forward to our 50th Reunion."
