Good to read the 2016 Logdon summary. Lots of adventures and accomplishments! Congratulations to Tresine for receiving the national Green Schools Award and to Matt for his continued teaching and mentoring excellence at Henry Clay High. Also, congratulations to Isabelle for her skills on the Speech Team; she obviously has developed these skills that were inherited from her father and mother. Eloise appears to be having great fun horseback riding, something that her great uncle never mastered.

The family trip out West sounded delightful. I hope to conduct a similar trip to Yosemite and other western landmarks when Jacqui and Jacsun get a little older. For now, we are hunkered down indoors, yearning for warmer weather to return so that we can get back out into the great outdoors.

I listened to Obama's farewell address this evening. I will sorely miss a highly intelligent and considerate President (and First Lady) in the coming years, especially in anticipation of his rude and arrogant successor, who is so undeserving of the highest office in the land. But, alas, we will persevere.      

Love,
Jack
