Micah's 1st Birthday with "Smash Cake"

Well I finally did it. I have updated daeth.com and given it a whole fresh look. It only took me 15 years but who's counting? I copied over some of the archive pictures, just to embarrass the kids, but I hope they come to appreciate it over time. Of course you may ask, "Why? Why maintain a personal website at all when there's Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc?" I guess I still believe that owning the domain name of your family name has value. Not so much for the information it provides today but more of a digital record for future generations. I guess that will play out over time. Anyway I hope you enjoy the new pictures and I promise to update the new site more often.

In January 2023, Chris (my neighbor) and I went to the Mecum Classic Car Auction in Kissimmee. Although Julie insisted I leave my wallet, checkbook and bank cards at home we still went thinking we'd find something to drag home. Fortunately common sense prevailed but we had a great time window shopping. For more information or to view all the cars, go to www.mecum.com

In early October the NetWolves Team arrived at Disney World for the 11th Annual Executive Forum. As usual we were incredibly well behaved and sampled the beverages with the right amount of restraint and decorum befitting such an elite group. And then we got to Mexico! Tequila Ted, once again, did us proud. I seem to remember there were fireworks soon after?

In October 2022 we took a day trip to the West Coast of Florida to visit our friends Jim and Steve in St. Petersburg. We first met them on our Transatlantic cruise in April 2022 and we cruised together again in December 2022 to South America. Hope to see you guys soon.

In November, Mal and Diane visited us in Florida. We played golf at the Omni (Mal had an eagle on the 8th) and went to Millers Ale House for dinner. We also went to SeaWorld with Sarah, Barrett and Micah where we got soaked in the White Water Rapids ride.

CAMP LEJEUNE, NC, UNITED STATES 04.22.2022 Story by Lance Cpl. Jackson Kirkiewicz 2nd Marine Logistics Group Subscribe 34 MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. -- U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Paul M. D’Aeth received the Navy and Marine Corps Medal to recognize acts of non-combat heroism during a ceremony hosted by 8th Engineer Support Battalion on Camp Lejeune on April 22, 2022. Staff Sgt. D’Aeth, a native of Waxhaw, North Carolina, received the Department of the Navy’s highest non-combat award for quickly responding to distressed swimmers at Del Mar Beach while serving with Combat Logistics Battalion 15, 1st Marine Logistics Group, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, on March 8, 2020. According to his award citation, D'Aeth entered rough ocean waters and swam through breaking waves and a dangerous rip current to rescue a struggling service member. Upon returning to the shore, he realized there was a second distraught swimmer and, without regard for his personal safety, jumped back into the water to attempt another rescue. “It comes with a lot of weight,” said Staff Sgt. D’Aeth after the ceremony. “I'm thankful for the recognition, but I think anyone would have done the same thing." The Navy and Marine Corps Medal is the highest non-combat award for heroism awarded to members of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. It is awarded to service members who, while serving in any capacity in the Navy or Marine Corps, demonstrate an act of non-combat heroism while putting themselves in a life-threatening situation. “It’s another human life. It required action from somebody, and I wasn't going to just sit by,” said Staff Sgt. D’Aeth. D’Aeth currently serves as an explosive ordnance disposal technician with Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company, 8th Engineer Support Battalion, Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group.

In June 2022, Julie drove up to PA to meet Janet and Emmy to go see a Broadway show. They had tickets to Jersey Boys but the show ended a few weeks early so they switched and went to Dear Evan Hansen instead. After the show they went to dinner at Becco. Julie then drove up to spend a few days with Janet and Ed in New Hampshire first stopping at their cabin, then on to the house.

We decided to buy season tickets (PSL) for the inaugural season of the new Major League Soccer franchise team, Charlotte FC. Went went in with three others to buy four adjoining seats. As there were 17 games each member received all four tickets for four games and the four members all went to the first game. It worked out well but we decided not to renew for 2023 as we ware spending more and more time in Florida, especially during the MLS season.
