After June 18th, Ken was bemused to find various bodies putting money in his bank account for no apparent reason. There was a party with Jason's family to celebrate this & Avis' birthday in August. The big event was hiring the "Spirit of London" again for our 25th Wedding Party (on the right day), with rare good weather this time.

The Sorensens have been around quite a long time now & we have seen Jan survive a cancer attack. Jan was in the gym with Avis & they were active members of the Barbican Music Club. However, they turned out to be just another pair of tax-dodging Americans & when the government brought in the rather modest levy of £30,000 on non-British residents, they decided it was cheaper to pay USA taxes, even if it meant living in the cultural desert of the Pennsylvania countryside. They threw a party on leaving, all the more interesting for the views of their compatriots on the American political scene, something which appears to have turned out well in the end.
