Time with Fort Dodgers

Last night we had a really nice time meeting up with John and Cindy Dahl, former Fort Dodgers. Ellen taught at Phillips Middle School with John, who was a computer teacher. Cindy worked at Iowa Illinois Gas and Electric, later to be Mid-American. I had occasions to visit with John on Friday afternoons at the Stadium. I also had their sons Jason and Chris as students years ago at Cooper Elementary School in FD.
The Dahls retired 4 years ago and moved to the south side of Jacksonville, close to their son Chris and his family. We met at Boston Classic Pizza on the north side of JAX, and had a great time talking and catching up about comon friends and fellow educators. It was good food and excellent conversation! We are planning another get together, at their house, December 19. We look forward to that.
We have been busy little elves. We finally got all the Christmas gifts mailed to our kids and Grandkids. We have done it in spurts, so we are getting to know the postal clerks at the northside Jacksonville post office, and have endured some long lines.
