And there be dragons
John and I spent ten days in August on a dive-boat in Komodo National Park, Indonesia. The Ondina is an amazing boat and the areas we dove in have some of the world’s most abundant and diverse sea life. And to add to this bounty of new creatures we saw for the first time, twice we had the opportunity to view the Komodo Dragons in the wild. These few photos represent a very small part of what we saw but they will give you an idea of the wonderful dives we enjoyed so much.

John and Jane in Thailand 
Hi Jane, Looks like a FANTASTIC trip. Thanks for sharing, so I could swim along with you.
The reunion was absolutely wonderful. All went even better than planned. We have only heard good things from everyone who was able to come. Of course, the memory book was Good, too!!! :-). The planning committee had a post reunion meeting last month at the Brick Saloon in Roslyn. We will keep classmates informed of these casual meet greet, laugh and lunch get-togethers. The bonds of childhood are hard to break!
