The new era of Ladies

Neala climbing under the table to make it stop wobbling.

Some Ladies from the first Championship team offering their "first trophy" for the current Ladies to take. In 1983, Coach made this from the ice bucket at the hotel and said, "Who wants it?"

Jessen Book, KC class of 2001. Married to a Lady, Niki Watson Book. Poised and ready to take over the Ladies. He is quieter than Coach, but equally psychologically inclined. There are more great years ahead for the Ladies.

Telling Ladies Stories

7 of the 8 original Ladies when they started in 1975...
Telling their stories...when they called Coach, Jim.

Coachman, Coach, Coachybaby, Jim.

Many of the Ladies that were on the National team my senior year. It was SO great to be present with them again. The original TLB's.

Erica Carroll and I...the night before we did our mudrun. Love and miss this girl!

Ladies from the ages...

Teaching the current swimmers "old cheers." "Say can you...

"...Dig it?! This team's got soul...this team's got might..."

Then Coach came to talk...

And we all sat down...

Baby Braden...and "G-Pa Coach." He is a big man...and he tries to become a smaller person...and he wouldn't stop kissing baby B. It was awesome.

Beautiful Kenyon Campus

Middle Path

The Science Quad...and a lovely Henry Moore sculpture

Proud momma...Odin swims the width of the pool!

I almost cried the first time he did this...Momma is so proud!

Last Day at the Pool

September 14...our last sunny 75 degree day.

Flying Odin!

Chewy has an older girlfriend, Giselle. While she stayed at our house, we learned that Chewy loves a cushy dog bed.

Fun at Jon's Wedding!

Masiel's husband was in the wedding, too. So she helped with the boys and Odin really liked her. He didn't leave her side the entire reception.

Fun dancing with the Groom at the reception at the Mt. Vernon Inn.


Daddy is wearing his "Jon-head-explosion" nametag from the rehearsal dinner. Much fun was had by all.

This was about 2am in the bar at the hotel. Emily, Brian and Clark were great company for the weekend. Clark, is that a bird in your eye?

While Daddy was getting ready for the wedding...

We went swimming in the hotel pool...and I caught a moment.


Getting ready for the wedding!

Soren was looking for daddy...hello hello?

Here is the dapper Groom!

All dressed up and ready for the event!

Good looking group of men...

Walking from the pub over to the church.

Hot at the Park in Chevy Chase, MD

We had the boys at the park in August in Chevy Chase, MD. It was only in the 80's, but humid. This is not the weather the boys were used to in Seattle! We had a great time.

Brotherly love.



Beautiful Boys!

Natural History Museum




Soren wanted to hold onto the bars on the Metro just like Daddy!
