Election win

At the most recent general meeting and election with the Green Tree Swim Team, I was nominated and elected to a position on the board. Won in a landslide, so I was told. I'll be the fifth member there and the rep for the team in the swim league.

Got a team? Want to join our league?

We've been a part of the swim team for a number of years. The league includes Scott Township, Mt. Lebo, Crafton, South Fayette and Green Tree. Gotta freshen their site soon I guess, http://GreenTree.CLOH.Org.

For the record, I did get the firefighters vote. My cousin in law, John Kirby, a recently retired Pgh Firefighter, voted for me. He said he was the only one in the room to know how to spell Rauterkus. I asked if this was a one-year term, and he was quick to point out it was for ten.

One more election is on tap for later this month. More news later.

Sweetheart

My sweetheart and I celebrate our anniversary, Nov. 10. We were married on a rainy day in Springfield, Mass., in 1990.

On the 11th she'll be at CMU to speak to 150 at the monthly music convocation and with the Pittsburgh Symphony at their break in rehearsal.

The boys are off of school that day too. Perhaps we'll sit in and get some photos, video or an audio version of the presentations. Plus, we can have a family lunch date I expect.
