Vernon, Kentucky, David Martin of Harbor Springs, Michigan and Roy Lefavour of East Brunswick, New Jersey.  The remainder of the afternoon was enjoyed on the patio with dear, dear friends.  One more highlight of note.  Just past sunset tonight, the entire gang congregated on the patio to view a spectacular five minute fly by of the International Space Station. 

Wednesday, March 3rd: Sierra Vista, AZ     What a spectacular day it was!  Temperatures hovering at 70 degrees made for a most enjoyable 6.3 mile hike along the San Pedro River for Sherlock and Circuit Rider.  While they were enjoying the trail, Sandy Parsons, along with her two sons Bill (Whitehouse Landing) and Tim, took Sandy's daughter Candy back to the Tucson Airport for her flight home to Minocqua, Wisconsin.  She made it safely back there this evening.  Tonight, the whole gang enjoyed dinner together at Chili's, then returned to Dick and Sandy's home for some pictures and more storytelling.  

Thursday, March 4th: Sierra Vista, AZ     In the predawn hours this morning Sherlock and Circuit Rider took Bill Ware (Whitehouse Landing) and his brother Tim back to the Tucson Airport.  What a wonderful few days it had been celebrating their Mom's 75th Birthday!  After the guys said goodbye to the guys, they headed to Whataburger for an early morning treat.  7:00 a.m. may seem a bit early for a burger most mornings, but these are no ordinary burgers!  Following that bit of indulgence the duo took the scenic route back to Sierra Vista, Arizona and the home of Dick and Sandy Parsons.  The rest of the day was spent working on taxes and enjoying some patio time with close friends.  This evening the two accompanied the Parsons to dinner.  Circuit Rider walked home afterwards.  After what he ate, he needed to! 

Friday, March 5th: Sierra Vista, AZ     Circuit Rider worked on taxes for the second day in a row at the home of Dick and Sandy Parsons.  Sherlock meanwhile caught up with phone calls and emails.  Conversations with Gorilla Jim (AT '02) in Owasso, Oklahoma, David Martin in Harbor Springs, Michigan, Andy Hoover in Lakeland, Florida, Audrey Badgero in Onaway, Michigan, Charlene Forgione in Whiting, New Jersey, and Ulysses' parents Jim and Linda McGhee in Norridge, Illinois added some much needed variety to an otherwise monotonous task.  This evening the guys enjoyed Sandy's delicious cooking once again.  The four then settled down for an evening of relaxing conversation and, of course, ice cream.
