Mary

Mary finished coaching the boys tennis team at Meyers. Yep, that's right she coached Michael, and both have lived to tell the tale. The team went 3-9 in the league. Not great, but not in last place. Right now she has just survived Michael's graduation and graduation party. Phewwww. A summer trip to Utah in July is next with both boys and a family trip to Ocean City in August will make the summer complete. She is also coaching summer basketball and will be going to summer b-ball camp the end of June. For the summer she will continue working out the tennis kids at Meyers and teach some field hockey on the side.

Matthew has also done us very proud. He has now grown to a height which makes him taller than his mom. Matt finished playing baseball and is now playing on a 13 year old American Legion team for the summer. He most recently was named to Who's Who Among Junior High Students for this year. We hope the first of many honors for Matthew.

Not just for confirmation, but more so for being a great kid.
