Here's Mike with a couple of his MANY neices, and Sue with the youngest member of the family, baby Jack born last September.

Although baby Jack look sweet and innocent, his nickname is "Jack the Ripper" for his frequent, er, contributions to air quality.

It's impossible to get them all in one photo!! Without full attendance, there were at least 40 of the Raney clan that gathered for the Thanksgiving weekend. Lots of catching up to do, when people are coming in from Chicago, Orlando, Pensacola, Ft. Worth, Crown Point (Indiana), St. Louis, Charleston and Seattle...

We spent half a day and got to see planes in production from the first day of friction stir welding to the final wax job. It's amazing to see how it all fits together. Hopefully ours will be on the production line sometime in March 2008.

What a great day at Disneyland, although somehow it seemed smaller than it was 20 years ago! The fireworks and music were absolutely spectacular.
