​
I take part in Wednesday evening sailboat races with my 1978 Lancer-29 sailboat, Menominee Marina, MMYC (M&M Yacht Club); when scheduled spring, summer, fall. Named "Santa Maria" by my wife Laura, and said for Saint Mary, not Columbus' ship. With sailing season ended my sailboat is lifted from the water and stored on its cradle for the winter.
Flying: I have finally restarted lessons in the Piper Archer LX, after delay of seven months. Just restarted in late September, hope to solo before the end of December. The CFI (certified flight instructor) is only available on weekends and because of weather and other students the number of training flights I can get is limited.
Bicycle ride: Spring, summer, fall, a 10-mile bicycle ride with a group on Thursdays, and sometimes do another 8 or 10 miles alone or with someone on another day.
Teaching: Again I'm teaching a faith formation "Catholic" (catechism class) 5th and 6th grade for this school year.
MOVE INTO THE CITY LIMITS ??
I am thinking of, considering, a move to live within the city limits of Menominee; from where I now live approximately 3 miles outside of the city in Menominee Township on the river. I like my house and location, however since my wife Laura passed away I don't need a big house. I feel I can be more influential for good city government by living in the city. So I'm thinking of a move in spring or summer of 2026. I'm hoping to find an apartment or town-home or condo for rent on the bay, or First Street facing the marina with protected (garage) parking, or a nice apartment in the 4th ward with garage parking.
