Mark's family on Mothers' Day 2009



Judy and I recently returned from a great visit with Mark and family in Shell Beach. We were there for Mothers’ Day and had fun honoring Judy and Amanda. Mark is doing great with his rehab after knee surgery three weeks ago. He rolls down to the beach in his wheel chair.

Sure, he is anxious to get back up in that Amtrak cab, and that should come around July 25.

Here are a couple of photos to give you a flavor of our visit. If all goes well Mark will bring Jess and Luisa to Granite Bay for a visit when school lets out in June.

Mark and I are planning a rail trip on Amtrak from Roseville to Truckee and return. Another alternative may be from Roseville to Salt Lake City or Winnemucca and return.

Mark will need to cozy up to his brothers at the Oakland crew base. Maybe they will let him ride up front if it’s allowed.
