“It has been a little while since I last wrote. Some of you were a little more diligent than I, while most have about the same energy level as me. Anyway, I am writing now to update you folks a little. I have completed my command and staff course at home (instead of going to Maxwell as originally planned). The course was pretty hectic but I came through it all right. I was lucky enough to finish at the top of the class, in no small measure thanks to the support of my wife Michelle. Anyway, after my month long leave, I will be heading back to the Squadron to take over command around 1 Feb 2000. I wish you guys can be around. Unfortunately, my Chief has decided to retain me in the F-5 community and will only let me go to the F-16s only much later in my career. On the family side, there has been a lowered level of productivity. We have stagnated at 2 daughters so far. Sara has grown into an active 4-year-old while Elisabeth is already 2 and will be venturing to Nursery next year. However, before long, I'll have to fend off hormone-charged young men knocking on my door. Are you guys going for the 10th year reunion? If you have any information at all, please let me know as I will have to plan for extended leave and arrange all the bothersome travel arrangements etc.

“Just a quick note to say I'll be out of town the next 10 days or so to DC for Presidential support backup. Don't know if I'll be there the whole time or end up flying somewhere else.”
