I do remember the games in the basement and that you were a tennis participant.<br /><br />I was never much into winter sports beyond a little ice skating; but I do recall that your Dad would sometimes ski up to my house. He got around a lot that way when there was enough snow.vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-80187040471202080072011-04-19T22:02:41.490-04:002011-04-19T22:02:41.490-04:00Hi Dave,

It sure was fun to hear you all yelling down there. Later I had fun playing tennis with you and all of Dad's friends. I don't do much of that now, either, but have been cross country skiing with passion. You didn't mention that Dad did some of that, too.<br />Best wishes, NoraUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16416650708430085949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-86204350935288144162011-04-17T15:59:22.942-04:002011-04-17T15:59:22.942-04:00jdisco, CJ loved life, and he lived life with enth...jdisco, CJ loved life, and he lived life with enthusiasm and optimism!vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-7158466793185142642011-04-17T09:05:43.267-04:002011-04-17T09:05:43.267-04:00He was quite a man.

Actually, he was active until 3 days before his death, which came quite suddenly. He was still riding my wife's bicycle well into his 90's, complaining that he never thought he'd see the day when he'd ride a pink woman's bike. (He couldn't get his leg over the bar of a man's bike any longer.) I quoted him twice today to my friends.
