Dave Serie enjoying retirement

Dear classmates:
Above are pictures of my daughter, Sarah, and friends preparing for the Snow Days dance at Champlin High School.
Sixteen is just too young to be growing up this fast. She is a good student and athlete and plays varsity softball and basketball for Champlin Park.

My youngest son, Matt, attends Moorhead as a freshman and seems to be enjoying. He was just home this weekend and we all watched those hated Packers win the SB..you packer fans are probably celebrating hard right now..it was a good game.

I've been spending this past 10 months enjoying retirement from BAE Systems after 41.5 years. I don't miss my job as much as I expected to and I'm able to see a lot of my work friends yet through golf leagues and tourneys and other parties, so that is good.

Summer was filled with golf and winter months have been filled with going to Sarah's basketball games and coaching some of my friends' younger kids. I really enjoy the Cub Reporter's sports reports periodically, so keep those up, Tom. It would be fun seeing Alex playing Champlin Park sometime.

I have a 4 yr. old grandson Kaleb and a 9 month grand daughter named Stella Rose..its been really fun taking care of them some days and watching them grow up so quickly..they develop their own personalities so young..its fun to watch.

All I can say is that retirement is "underrated" and I would recommend to everyone.

I look forward to playing in the Resorters Golf Tourney again this year.

Happy New Year to All,

Dave Serie
