Martin finish his senior year swimming season at the 1996 NCAA Championships in Austin, Texas. Martin is the 1996 NCAA Champion in the 100 Yard Butterfly!!! Martin and Seth have made history by being the first brothers to ever win the same event. Martin is now finishing up his college education. Of course that wouldn't be it for him. He is also busy building his wooden boat and deep sea diving.

Carl is too modest to admit it but he was just awarded an induction into the President's Club of Long Realty. What that means is that he was one the Top 40 Realtors in the company - consisting of about 500 employees. We are very proud of him. He works very long hours and deserves all the recognition. Seth and Carl have joined forces and are now working together to take the Tucson market by storm.

Karen is our famous writer in the family. When she is not writing for a local newspaper, she is constructing a new book. We are all very excited to see the final draft. Karen has made a life of researching this book. It will soon be in a store near you. Please ask her about it.

Seth has finished this phase of his athletic life after finishing for the second time as one of the alternates for the Olympic Team. In 1992 Olympic Trials he finished third in the 100 Butterfly and again in 1996 he finished fourth in the 50 Freestyle, just seven one-hundredths of a second away from the necessary second place finish to make the team. Now he plans to pursue modeling for two years and then he will make a decision on what comes next. This holiday season we received reports that he is still up in stores nationally for both Ralph Lauren Polo and Abercrombie & Fitch. He just returned from a successful three month modeling trip to Europe. We look forward to his next big adventure in the modeling world.
