Frank Schickedanz
TO ALL: Well HELLO from Fort Worth, TX - Yes My Name is Frank Schickedanz and I am a Slacker - I have been lurking behind the scenes - watching all of you guys post and not responded (even to my Birthday Wishes - Shame on me and Thank You). I have had a few of you call me and text me just to check on me and Thank You for that but I am alive and well.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to everyone that I missed saying it to - We seem to all (almost all of us) have a common denominator that is to be "71" - "71" - OH MY GOD - "71" - let's get back to the real size "71" - We did it - Contgratulations.
I have been a Grandpa for over a year now - What a Trip - Those Grandbabies are absolutely adorable and they Love Their Grandma and Grandpa and their Grandma and their Grandpa love them back - we are geographically close to both of them and enjoy seeing them often.
A couple of Highlights in my life this year - (#1) I have been to hundreds of MLB games (That's Major League Baseball if some of you don't follow sports) - I was only 70 at the time at the ball game Yankees vs Rangers (the game after Aaron Judge hit #62) and I got my very 1st Foul Ball - That really was a highlight of my year. (#2) The Boys and I went to Baltimore for the BRONCOS game at the Ravens - Talking about those BRONCOS - it has been a rough go for the Boys in Orange & Blue but we'll be back (no predictions on the time frame but they will be back) - maybe when Mahomes retires.
Carol & I have been traveling quite a lot - we spent the Super Bowl in Maui - what a beautiful area - we went to Burlington, Vermont for a concert - what a beautiful area - we spent our anniversary in Cancun - what a beautiful area - and we have spent quite a few days in Indiana with her Mom who will be 93 in 2 days - What a Beautiful Lady. We also went to New York City to see the Christmas Lights. I went to Phoenix to play golf with a Customer and spent some time with Gary and Vickie - it's always great to see those guys. We also met Dan Blanton and Garrelts #2 in Portland to see The Doobie Brothers in concert and then went up the Oregon Coast - loved every minute of it - Always nice to see Dan & Sue and Terry & Joy. On a Very Sad Note - I lost my Little Sister to a battle with cancer - she was only 68 - another Beautiful Lady. I will miss her.
Well - I have probably bored you to tears while I ramble on - I will try not to wait so long to post again - not a promise but I honestly will - Hope everyone had a Great Christmas and Have a Happy New Year - Talk to you later.
FLS (Schick)
PS - I will try to post some pictures
