Dave Barnes Siting`

During the time I was off becoming a certified interpretive guide at the Natural History Museum, rumor has it that Dave Barnes actually attended the Dec 16, 2011 Magnum swim workout.  Since I was not at that workout and since Dave was a no-show at the Magnum's Dec 17 holiday breakfast at Uncle Bills (see item piece below), I could not post his picture nor complement his showing up after month's of expanding his business empire and absence from working out as a Magnum (the Magnum motto is swim and play before work).  But I can certainly give praise to Dave's older  daughter Anna and her performance in the Nutcracker Ballet (who obviously inherited her mother's grace and balance).  

Magnums—go to www.youtube.com and type in "Anna Barnes as Clara in the Nutcracker" to view her performance with her younger step brother's Jack's commentary.
