The front yard in Bowie was just right
for some tossed football. |
In 1976, Tracy with Chris, scaled the
highest point in Phoenix, Squaw Peak! |
Pools were always inviting in HOT
Phoenix. |
The diving board was not high enough;
so Chris and Tracy worked their way up the ladder until both
jumped off the roof. Mom did not like that. |

Tracy is watching big brother navigate
around lake Canyon, near Phoenix. |
What a ride it was, down the roads in
Arizona. |
Soccer was a big thing. So they both
played. One on the East side of town, the other on the West
side of town. |
While living in California, Tracy and
Chris often went skiing. This was in Lake Tahoe. |

Can you identify the masked skier? |
In Denver Tracy reached his "teenage
hood." |
Not to be forgotten was the Denver
snow fall of 1982. Tracy shoveled it all by himself. He
liked shoveling snow |

During one visit home, Dad took Tracy
on a 20 mile hike to reach the Havasupai Falls, near the
Grand Canyon. |
HereTracy is cooling off at the bottom
of the Falls. |

Next to being a crack shot with Navy
Short Arms, Tracy always hit the bulls eye with a sling
shot. This was taken in the wilderness of Northern Arizona. |
It took 45 minutes along a dirt road
to get to this lovely camp site. Just south of Route 66 in
Arizona. |
At home, Tracy knows how to relax in
his Dad's chair, of course. |
