The last 5 years have been pretty eventful for me. Right after our reunion my oldest daughter got married to Matt Daley. Just before the wedding Matt let me know that he had been signed by the Yankees as a relief pitcher, He had spent his previous 6 years with the Colorado Rockies working his way up to his final 3 years with the big club. Shortly after a rehab period he debuted with the Yankees against the Red Sox in Yankee Stadium.. one of my most memorable events as a spectator but not most. That came on September 26, 2013 when Matt relieved Mariano Rivera in his last game at Yankee Stadium. Several years later Matt became a scout for the Yankees and he and my daughter Clare gave me a wonderful grandson Connor James Daley who may just become the next Yankee in the family. I also hit a career milestone by being the longest serving Bankruptcy Clerk in the history of the bankruptcy courts. Of course that just means that I was able to avoid getting fired over a long period of time. Also, I was inducted as a Fellow into the American College of Bankruptcy and completed my 14 year run as the Clerk Advisor to the Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Bankruptcy Rules of Court. It will all come to an end when I retire this coming January after 41 years working for the US Government and 32 years as the Clerk of the Court.
