Krista is 22 and a senior at Ohio State. She has a 1 y/o Rottweiler pup who I think of as my grandson!! Kendal is 13 and in the 8th grade at Hillside middle school where she is a cheerleader and plays basketball. My little buddy John is 10 and a 5th grader. He is currently playing basketball at St Anthonys and also plays football and baseball. I still coach Kendal and John in some of their sports which I thouroghly enjoy!! I also still play ball 3 days a week. My mind says i'm 26 but my body the next day reminds me that I am 46!! We still live in south Parma where we have been for 13 years now. I really enjoy going on the classmates website and seeing some old familiar names and faces. I am going to have my wife post some photo's of our family!! I wish more people would post photo's as its sometimes hard to place names w/o faces. Well until next time God Bless!!
