Capri Frank was greeted with a great hug from Gary Miller and she noted how good the new Rotary shirt he was wearing looked. She is happy to be here and she also wanted to let us know that her mother who joined us last time Capri was here is still happy. She made a choice to change her life and just did it. She bought a new house in Pond Place with the help of Scott Nardozzi.
Rollie Sterrett was bone fishing in the Bahamas last week. He has promised (threatened) to bring in the 287 pictures he took next week. Rollie let us know that after 2 1/2 years of intense martial discussion he and his wife decided to have a baby. So they picked up an 8 week old Yellow Lab puppy. After the long marital discussion, Rollie's wife wrote him a letter acknowledging that he will have nothing to do with the puppy. However, as soon as he saw the puppy, he tore up the letter.
Paul Mikkelson is heading down to NC to ride bikes with his buddies. When he gets back he and Phil Ferrari are going up for Patriot's Day in Boston. Phil is worried that he may be getting ill, as he is starting to appreciate the Yankees.
