| This guy is playing the Texas Funk Stomp. I wish I could do this! I now have the time to sit on my patio and tap my foot and play some kind of thing! One of my grandsons wants to learn how to play the drums. Maybe we could start a band!!! |

| I learned to teach chickens how to dance during our learning period for training dolphins. This might even be Esmeralda, my wonderful chicken dancing to the Texas Funk Stomp. Maybe I ought to go out and buy myself a chicken to train! It was lots of fun!! |

| Thanks so much to those hundreds of you that have been very supportive during these seven years of lecturing on the cruise ships. |
 |
| I'm off and running to somewhere, but where is that? |

We've concluded seven years and over 940 days aboard ship lecturing on cruise ships of four different cruise lines. We've been all over and we have enjoyed our time at sea. Now I am setting my course for other things in my life.
I have one major speaking engagement left on my schedule, and that will be in Florida in July before the Panama Canal Society annual reunion. I am really looking forward to that, when I will get a chance to talk about two subjects that are a part of me. The first is the growth and development of the Isthmus of Panama and the many cultures of that unique nation and its growing importance in the world. The second lecture is on the events occuring in Panama right now with the continuing changes and improvements being made to the existing Canal and the future plans to expand the Panama Canal with the addition of PostPanamax Locks at both the Atlantic and Pacific ends of the Canal.
The addition of a new lane of lock traffic to accomodate the new and bigger ships in the fleets of the world will be a major change to the Canal and will bring it into the new world of bigger and faster ships. |

I'm finally having a lot of fun, fully relaxed at home, or can't you tell by this introduction to my web site?
My life is now set in being with my family, in my home, fully retired finally and enjoying the wonderful life we all live as a family, full of love for each other. I love it!!!
What was it that General McArthur said when he gave his last talk at West Point, " Old soldiers never die, they just fade away"..... Old Lecturers never die either, they just drop out of sight! I have dropped away to enjoy my last years here at home.
Sincerely,
Dick Holt
