We then traveled to Florida with other Hubbell
Family Historical Society members to witness the
launch of the shuttle containing the Hubble
Space Telescope.
While there, we toured some of the historical
rockets, too.
The hotel we all stayed at invited all HFHS members to
sign this section of wall as a memento of the occasion.

On this visit, Roger and Carol staged a treasure
hunt in the sand with small trinkets and coins.
Anne took this picture as Roger kept the boat moving since
we were in a main channel.

this Easter Carnival for their children. At this
point, Aunt Carol and Uncle Roger didn't have their
own children, but they 'adopted' ours for the event.

help her celebrate her birthday. They did face-painting.
And she got a family party with the Sweitzers.
