We hadn't seen Nancy and Gene for over 40 years and connected, by accident, while we were living in Norfolk.
I got up one day and said: "I wonder whatever happened to Nancy?"
The internet is a marvelous tool!!!
Nancy had been living in Williamsburg, Va. for about a year.
When I found her, we couldn't believe we lived within 35 miles of each other!!
We made a date and met for lunch at Nordstroms in Norfolk. That lunch turned into a reunion that had us talking about family, friends, you name it, for hours. For a few years, until we moved to Charlotte, we met at least once a month for dinner and or wine parties!! They have moved on to Plymouth, Massachusetts and now we're in Georgia. We stay in touch with emails and the like. Nancy contacted MC and asked if he would carve a figure of Gene, golfing, as a gift for his Birthday. Gene went to West Point and MC kept that in mind with the piece. He thoroughly enjoyed working on this. Nancy and MC communicated about colors, what type of clothing Gene wore while golfing......and mailed off the finished treasure in time for his big day last Saturday!
I wanted to share this "gem" with all because I think MC did a great job.....and so did Gene!!!
What a fun piece for a Great Friend!
