Happy Anniversary to my wonderful wife, it’s been 54 wonderful years and hope for many more. We are going to St Augustine for the day and next week to Rod Stewart concert in Jacksonville.

Jim keeps Linda’s replacement heart valve working at a loving pace. Linda’s late father, Sam Lopez, survived the sinking of the USS Indianapolis during World War II despite 5 days in shark infested waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Linda’s mother, Joanne Vandetta Lopez, daughter of Frank and Olga (Grandoni) Vandetta, and
who attended Monongah High and lived in Monongah, passed away in 2012. Shipwreck survivor Sam passed away in 2018.
