Happy Bucks
Spenser told of a great day of fishing off New Bedford with a shark getting most of one of his fish! His Daughter is doing well in the business and young Spenser Jr is taking over Mark's construction company.
Dennis did well in a dance contest in Vegas. He will be visiting his daughter in Monterey, He will also be teaching International Finance at URI this fall. Dennis demonstrated his financial skills by not leaving his $3 dollars and went back to his seat, After sufficient harassment by the Membership he returned to leave the money.
Elizabeth Very happy with the lack of humidity, Happy to have her brother and Segin here today.
