Today is a landmark day in our lives as our youngest graduates from Leland High School–my alma mater. Mark leaves Leland with 4 years of elected ASB service–voted by his peers in the yearbook as “The Most Involved Student” at Leland. As ASB VP his senior year he MC’ed the School Rallies and made the…
I just got back from three days of fishing with Mark. With Mark leaving for college soon, I know these trips will be rare and I really enjoyed my time with him alone. We returned to Antelope Creek Lodge again this year and like last year we ran into a freak snow storm which…
