Russel, I didn't know about Larry Mann. What is happening in your life? We are currently living in Redding, Ca. Ben is in Portland. Michael is in College and Angie is 15. I say no more....I've been doing a lot of things, mostly in survival mode. No great wealth or successes to speak of. But Wendi and I are still in love and life still holds many adventures. Email us and update us Rozsa5@juno.com.

Russel, Sorry to hear about you and Cristy. My brother Jim just seperated from His wife of 23 years, Tracy. And my close friend Doug's wife just left him after 28 years. The list goes on. It doesn't seem marriage is the institution it once was.
My dad is still kicking at 87, but not very well. He is way gone with alzheimers. Doesn't know anyone or anything. My mom is pretty healthy, though and still doing well. Tom is in Kaui and Susie is on Oahu. Denny, Gary and Chris are still in the LA area. Denny is the live in care giver for my dad most of the time. Chris is a studio set builder and Gary is a longshorman down in Long Beach. Jim is in Oxnard and doing construction, repair work. That is everything in a nutshell.
Awesome to hear about TK winning the great race. Who could guess!! What about you? remarried? I'm still thinking about coming down for the Little Dume paddle out tomorrow. I'm waiting for the motivation. I think if Wendi suddenly got inspired I would come down, but I hate the long drive alone and considering we have been down there 5 times in the last few months, who knows. Good to hear from you.
Bruce was in town a year or so ago battling a form of throat cancer. He has beaten it so far with a clean bill of health. He is living on Kaui. I see and talk to Scott all the time. I went for a surf at Little Dume a few weeks ago with Scott Mulder and a few other friends. Ran into familiar faces and old friends everywhere I went. No matter where you live, we just don't seem to duplicate the friends and relationships that were a part of our lives in Malibu or growing up on Santa Monica.
I was down around 3rd and California a few weeks ago telling Wendi how we used to walk from your apartment down to sorrento. Santa Monica was a different place then. I drive back to my old neighborhood and its yuppieville and snob city. But I still like being back there. Lets connect next time I am there.......Steve

Do you remember the bb gun war we had up on Zuma Canyon with Dusty, Tom Franks, Bill Carter, you and me, and others? Do you remember your brother Larry shooting the pellet gun and hitting Bill Carter on the da kine? Or was it you? Sometimes that memory is so vivid its as if it happened yesterday.. All these familiar names and faces from the past have brought back some classic memories. Steve
