Loyola Class of 77 Reunion

We had a wonderful time at the reunion........many folks made it back but it would have been nice to see more people. Check out the flickr link for photos.

Phone call from U.K.

Greg called from England this morning to say all was well and they are having a good time. He and Frank are trying to keep their blogs updated as often as they can. Look for several hundred pictures on Greg's flickr account sometime soon.


Check out this photo....Greg began training for this bike trip about 13 years ago.

Party Pics

Wednesday May 30 update

Greg arrived at Heathrow early this morning our time and I presume he's caught up with Frank by this time.

I thought I'd share a few party photos with everyone. This is Frank with Dan's girlfriend, Kristin.

Greg is on his way

Greg had a busy day of packing and working out details like getting new Waldies (traffic cone orange) today. We made it to Dulles in great time where Greg began to try to fit the bike into the box along with many other assorted items. Gaffer tape saved the day (as always) and the bulging box was finally checked in along with the huge duffel bag. We had time for a quick dinner and then by 9:30, Greg was off through security and we headed for home.

Frank is already there..........check out his blog for details of his first day.

As for me, I'm tired! Good night, all!

Busy so far

It's normally busy at the ranch but this May and June have been exceptionally busy. Greg graduated from UMBC on May 24 with his degree in Mechanical Engineering. Mom & Dad are so proud! Job hunting will start in the fall as Greg and Frank are leaving now to bike for three months in Europe. You can follow their progress on their blogs listed below.

Welcome to my summer

Stop by now and again to see what's happening at the Chaprnka Ranch in Phoenix, MD. Leave a note, post a photo............love to hear from you.
