Greetings from the Grove Avenue Ganzers.
We are happy to report good health in "our gang." Our grandsons Adam Ganzer and Scott Offutt are in high school but still spend many Saturday nights at our place. Our evening meal conversations now include discussion of imaginary numbers and the set of complex numbers (Anne is silent for this part). Both boys have a penchant for writing and music. Adam is a drummer at the Barrington High School Jazz band and Scott is a member of the Youth Hand Bell Ringers at our church. both boys have roles in our Third Service, a contemporary music program where Adam is on drums and Scott runs the projector where the words to the hymns are shown on the santuary walls - a bit of a stretch for our old Lutheran heritage.
Gay and Mike are involved in this service - Mike is in charge of this service and sings and plays the guitar; Gay is a lead singer. Mike plans to retire from teaching science and AP Chemistry after this year; and Gay is still the horse-lover, particularly of Jake, her latest, and helps take care of a number of horses where she boards Jake.
Marianne has moved to Amherst and works two days a week in Boston and the rest of the time at the shop she shares with Stacey Styles, a fellow violin and stringed instrument restorer. They live together with Stacey's daughter, Liza, who is helping Marianne learn what having a teenager is like. Mark, Gay and Marianne carry on a spirited e-mail correspondence about various theories on young adult rearing. Pretty exciting.
Mark is still doing some bridge teaching and plays a lot of duplicate. I think he is a Grand Master, or something like that. Anne and I still keep trying to come up to his standards. He also keeps us straightened out when we run afoul of the computers around here.
Anne stays busy with two book clubs and Lydia Circle where they make quilts for Lutheran World Relief, and acting as co-chairman
