Bye-bye Teenager
The past twenty years has been quite a journey; from first travel adventures to last days of high school with braces, birds, licenses, and learning in between. Patrick with Opa & Oma V (probably in front of an airport) at 3 months. Patrick enters the "double digit years" (turned 10) and was already caring for raptors at a local rescue. By the time Patrick became a teenager (13 years old), he was an advanced open-water diver. Milestone - Age 16 - Driver's License Milestone - Age 18. By now he knows that he will pursue commercial aviation after graduation. Now 20 years old, he says "farewell" to the teen years. To his driver's license he has added a motorcycle endorsement, a private pilot's license, and is advancing toward his commercial (pilot) license. He has logged miles on a motorcycle, hours in the sky, and continues stacking up the adventures, all while growing and maturing into a handsome, caring young man. Happy Birthday, Patrick
