News - 8 March 2026

Two updates in four and a half months! This just might be a record for me. I’m somewhat embarrassed at my lack of ambition to update this page. And I doubt it will get much better.

So far it has been a long, cold, snowy winter. Christmas was good, the kids and grandkids are all doing well, and Tess and I are plodding along the well worn path to old age. Every day there seems to be a new ache or pain, or something new doesn’t work the way it used to.

We have reluctantly decided that this year will be the last year of RVing for us. I’ll put the motorhome up for sale in April but we will continue to use it until it sells. It is basically a $25 - $30,000 toy and with gas prices now so high, it may take a while to sell. I have posted details to the RVing page here on www.bobog.org to detail the rig and its features. If you know anyone interested, put them in touch with me at gregandtess@hotmail.com

I am still working on the family trees with 18,500 people between my paternal and maternal lines and Tess’ ancestors and family members. No, I will never be done. That will be up to Mark or Isla if either of them gets the bug and AI hasn’t made it mouse click easy.

Mark completed the repairs to the BMW that Tess dinged in the Walmart parking lot. He really went above and beyond by repairing both the damage and the wear and tear caused by it being an old car and not by his mother. It looked perfect to my eyes and the owners were over the moon happy, as they should be. Thanks, Mark!

 I bought myself a new and much faster computer to handle my ever growing family tree database. What used to take 9 seconds now takes less than half a second so I’m happy.

The software I use to create this site is about 10 years old and no longer supported nor have they issued a new version or replacement product. Second time this has happened to me. I think I will shut down the site later this year hence the move to the hotmail email address. It will save me $100 per year too.

That’s it for this update. Take care and stay in touch at the new email address!

Greg, Tess, & Spike
