Ryan is a Senior at The Colony High School. He is active in Junior ROTC and is a member of the Armed Color Guard and Armed Drill teams. This is his fourth year in the JROTC at The Colony. His freshman year he was on the Orienteering team in JROTC. Ryan is also in the Youth group at The Colony Church of Christ.
JROTC
The Armed Color Guard Team is made up of 4 cadets (2 armed and 2 color bearers). The Armed Drill Team is made up of 9 Armed Cadets and a Captain. They compete against other schools in precision marching, weapons handling, and Military knowledge. The Colony HS JROTC won 1st in state last year for the 2nd consecutive year.
The 32nd Annual Birdville Invitational JROTC Drill Meet was held Saturday, February 24th in North Richland Hills. This is one of the largest drill meets in the state of Texas and was attended by 41 High Schools from around the state. The Colony High School JROTC came home with 34 team and individual awards including "The Grand Champion Trophy" for 1st Place Overall in the competition.

Sky Diving
Ryan has been wanting to go sky diving for quite a while now. He hasn't been able to go because you have to be 18 years old in Texas due to liability reasons. Well, Ryan turned 18 on September 19th 2001 so the next Saturday (Sept 22nd), I took him Sky Diving as a Birthday present. We both went Tandem jumping and had a great time.

Church Activities
Ryan was in the youth group at Prestoncrest Church of Christ until we move our church membership to The Colony recently. Prestoncrest Church of Christ donated items to the Tornado victims in Oklahoma last year and Ryan accompanied them on the trip to deliver these. We now attend The Colony Church of Christ and Ryan is becoming active in their events.
We recently returned from the Spring Break Ski Trip 2001. Darlene and I went along as chaperones. Here is a picture of the group. Click the picture for a larger image.
Work
Ryan is now working part-time at the Center for Biblical Arts. He helps set up and tear down for weddings, receptions, and other events.
