Dear Friends and Family,

As we look back on 2023, we can say that it was a pretty average year. 

Bryan and Sue celebrated their 70th birthdays this year by swimming across the Atlantic Ocean. They said it was a great way to stay in shape and see the world from a different perspective.

In March, Bryan was admitted to MENSA with the lowest score ever. We’re not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but he seems pretty proud of it!

Bryan continues to lose his hair due to climate change. We’re not sure how that works, but he’s convinced that it’s true.

Sue won the Miss World competition in San Salvador in June and is continuing her modeling job in Paris. She’s been having a great time and has even been featured in some of the top fashion magazines.

Francis won the Rugby World Cup in Paris playing as center forward. He suffered a wrist injury while participating in this year’s Tour de France, but he’s recovering well and is already planning his next big adventure.

Dorothy had her latest book on Quantum Theory published in New York. Her work as Chairperson of the Save the Cockroach Foundation continues to keep her very busy. She’s been working hard to raise awareness about the importance of these creatures in our ecosystem.

Matthew gained a doctorate in Xbox Strategy at the University of Cape Town and hopes to gain a permanent Chair at the World Gaming Convention. We’re so proud of him and can’t wait to see what he’ll accomplish next!

As we close out the year, we want to wish all our family and friends a Happy Christmas and Great New Year. We hope that 2024 will be a year filled with love, laughter, and lots of great memories.

Lots of love,

Bryan and Sue xx
