1981

January started with a whirl involving the Pinewood Derby with Scouts and basketball with the RAs. Rod and Jerry Stargel continued to coach the RA basketball teams through a busy January and February schedule. In May the boys participated in the RA Track Meet.

During the spring Jeff and Rod took a scuba diving course at Georgia State and we made a trip to Florida for their checkout dives. Before proceeding to the Keys, we went on a dive with Dave and Sherry off Pompano Beach. Then we went on down to Marathon for the official checkout dive.

Mark played soccer in the Fall and the whole family enjoyed that. Rod got into photography of the soccer.

We had an enjoyable trip to Arkansas for Thanksgiving. There was a whirl of musical programs at church during December with Mark singing in a musical called "Christmas Fever". We had a nice Christmas celebration at Grandmother Thomas'.

Below are links to some images of that year.
