Phoenix/Tucson December 2022

It was a bittersweet trip to Phoenix and Tucson when Ann flew out to attend the funeral of Sally, Bill Heuschele's sister. While it was terribly sad to see one of my sister-in-laws pass, it was wonderful to connect with family that I had not seen in many years. In addition I got to visit a friend in Tuscon and just see this area of the country where I had lived in for many years, but had not visited for the past 20 years.
I got to see Jennifer and Mike and 3 of their 4 kids all grown up, 2 with kids of their own, Polly and her 2 kids, David, and Greg/Jess/Flint flew out from CT. Taking the bus to Tucson, I was able to see Judy and attend her closing on her new home.
Jennifer & Polly walking, not a baby, but dogs.
Early morning walks near Jennifer's house.

Visited U of A where I went to school - hardly anything looked the same except this iconic building.
