Stan & I & our Boxer Henry are stranded in the middle of nowhere with a flat tire in early June 2024 – 10 miles from civilization.

I have been writing my own life stories for some time, and now I want to write one about my wonderful husband Stan, my hero.

2023 was an unusual year – the first half was filled with our usual sporting & social activities & the last half with medical difficulties.

2022 was another fun-filled year packed with sports & social activities in the hills, beaches, mountains & desert of CA.

A brief history of our whitewater kayaking years ending with my last kayak, which Stan named "Barbara's Last Run," and my last paddle in it.

Stan & I & our 2 dogs spent 3 days at Mammoth riding our bikes.. The last day I rode up to the main lodge with my 50# dog behind me.

Forty-six years ago in 1975, my friend Marlene & I joined 2 guys on a bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

In 1974, 4 sr. engrs. from Hughes go on a men's-only bike ride through Napa/Sonoma. One guy invites Marlene and me to 'crash' the ride.
