Memory Walk 2004

This weekend was the Alzheimer’s Association’s “Memory Walk 2004”. Thanks to our very generous friends, we were able to raise $1,245 (of the $408,000 raised at the event).

Boru and the X Prize

Boru couldn’t keep his eyes off of SpaceShipOne as it attempted it’s historic flight. He obviously is a fan of space flight....

Skull's 40th

Delinquents and SigEp’s (of numerous generations) converged on Skull’s place to help celebrate his 40th birthday.

Fore!

Friday morning, the Frightening Foursome hit the linx at the Marysville Golf Course. It was Marsha’s first time out (and only Jennifer’s second), but they both did very well. Jennifer’s new putter worked wonders…as did Marsha’s magical fairway tees....

Harvard on the Hocking

Jen and Marsha met while attending Ohio Univeristy in beautiful Athens, Ohio. They were sorority (technically, fraternity) sisters at Phi Mu. Here they are in front of their house....

Goal!

Upon returning to Columbus, our host’s daughter Emily had soccer practice. And besides, Marsha was the coach!...

Escape from New York

Jen and Tom had no intention of staying in New York during the Republican National Convention (let alone the US Open, and homegames for the Mets & Yankees). It was determined that Ohio was far enough away. Jen went to school in Ohio and swore that she would never...
