Settling In

November 15, 2002, I host a wine and cheese and invite all the owners and occupants of Graham Condominiums.

November 21, 2002 is the first Board Meeting of the Graham Condominiums. The sellers hold election for a new Board. The property manager phones me a few days later to say I've been elected to the Board.

Thanksgiving, November 28, 2002, the Lian family contributes to and shares a feast at Regina's new place. We are happy that Aunt Ag and Aunt Helen join us. Energetic young nephews Gregory, Jonathan and Jimmy also run around in Underwood Park next door.
