Mike came up to be our Fine Master. Mike took confessions from Paul C. Paul missed Shred – It because he was golfing. Paul was fined before confessing due to a rat in the bunch. Dick confessed to leaving Shred – It a tad early to go to a Lamaze type class to prepare for their 2nd child soon to be welcomed into this world. Good luck pale. Mike Austin boasted about more of Maddison’s accomplishments in track and field. Maddison got a first in the high jump and tied for first in the 100 meter.
