Dave Bechok of Carlsbad, Calif., writes: Greetings from Carlsbad, Calif., home of Legoland and the best weather in the U.S. on the Pacific coast. 2002 was a roller coaster year with several deaths of loved ones and rediscovering old friends. My wife Priscilla '53 and I took two cruises, one down the "Mexican Riviera" and the other, a 16-day Panama Canal cruise in October. That was awesome and most interesting and inspiring. More pride in American ingenuity. We planned to attend Priscilla's 50th reunion in late May, also my 55th high school class reunion. Even though I didn't graduate, I still regard KSC as my alma mater. Can hardly wait until 2005.
