2010 Christmas Letter
Dear Family and Friends,
This is truly a joyous Christmas as Brandon and Sophia announce their engagement and plans to get married next summer Aug. 20, 2011 in California. As many of you know Sophia is a MIT grad and D3 national gymnastic champ. She is studying for her PhD in San Diego and Brandon plans to join her in California after he finishes his Masters at MIT this spring. Brandon and Sophia have been dating for about two years. Brandon is putting the finishing touches on their wedding website with many pictures of the happy couple and some stories. (Mel and Susan will surely miss Brandon as well as Brandon missing his partner in crime in Boston)
Meanwhile Austin also has some exciting news as he transfers from UCF in Orlando to the Fisher School of Accounting at UF in Gainesville. Austin earned his AA degree at UCF early since he received credit for AP classes taken in high school. He will miss UCF as they enjoy a tremendous year in sports. He will also miss many good friends he has made at UCF. (especially Chad and Jennifer Young a great basketball player from Tampa who took care of Austin in Orlando these past 2 years)
Kathy continues her work at the Clinic. She has also gotten “back on the horse” but this is a bicycle (too many stories to tell here). She is extremely excited about the wedding this summer and making all kinds of summer plans. We had a blast this past summer traveling for 2 weeks through the mountains of Colorado.
Manny is at his 33rd year at Berkeley. The big news there is the New Headmaster who will arrive in the summer of 2011. Headmaster Mr. Merluzzi retires at 70 years of age and 23 of those at Berkeley. A good friend of the family and a mentor to Brandon and Austin. He will surely be missed.
Manny is also taking the boys to Cuba Dec. 19, 20, 21 for a short visit. Their good friend Steve Kitchens is going with them. Pray that all goes well and they come back safe. They hope to visit the Suarez house in Havana, one of the sugar mills close to Havana and the family farm. Manny had to get a Cuban passport since Cuba does NOT recognize US citizenship.
Hope all is well with everyone, love, Kathy, Manny, Brandon and Austin
