I have found memories of Jerry in band. He marched with pride with that big susaphone wrapped around him. I wish his family comfort in knowing it has made it to the "big BAND". RIP
Happy Birthday Judy!
Still in Chiangmai, Thailand. Doing well! Both myself and Toy. Just getting older! Being of same Vintage I am sure you understand as well. We moved back when my parents wre being cared for (I thought) and I was retiring. We had sold our Thai Restaurant and helped my Bother-in-Law and his wife open one in Woodinville. We had gotter Toy's Mom a Green Card to enable her to stay in America and now she had family to stay with, This allowed us to moveback and take care of our Property in town and our huge Orchard along Ping River 2 1/2 hrs west of us. I had opened a Custom Motorcycle Shop (We design and build American style Choppers and Bobbers) Using what we have available here or make. Have friends in Ohio who have shipped a few Custom Items for us to Copy and create. We have built a Land Speed Bike for G/MP 200cc, 250cc and 350cc classes. Right now our 200cc build is breaking the 350cc Class Record. We have a Modified 200cc Engine done by S&S Motorcycles in America that is pushing 345cc and as of now we cannot keep tire to pavement contact, she will break loose at each of 5 shift points. It will run the 2 Kile down and back runs for Top Speed, Breaking whatever records fall she has capability of Top End speed of 178MPH @ 9,400rpm.
Don was instrumental in getting my butt through chemistry. He was always so friendly at the reunions. I am glad he is not in pain and I will always be grateful for knowing him. RIP, Don!!

Not sure if We will be back in time for Reunion, but will try!
I am so sorry to hear of Dell's passing. His daughter that passed was a really good friend of my daughter. I remember Dell as quiet but strong. I wish his family the best during this time. It is never easy. I lost my husband in 2014 and his wife will need their friends and family during the upcoming months. It is when the lights go out and your in your thoughts that darkness can appear. Blessing and prayers

Wasn't there a Peggy Neilson in our Class?? Her Dad built the Green Acres Trailer Park just Beyond Stipek Park...
32 years racing Tunnel Boat for a living, Moved back to Bothell and my wife and I opened Thai Restaurant in North Seattle. Sold it and moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand, Her Home Town in 2005.
Opened a Custom Design/Build Shop here. (Nice to be retired and work when it gives you the nudge...) Yes my hair is Gray, with the beard I sometimes have played Santa for the Hill Tribe kids. Have always taken My Projector and Linking to Internet have shown them they are not so different then other Kids around the Globe. Yes They enjoy Christmas, Watch the NORAD Tracking of Santa... One year we even had him drop by on a US Army Chopper as his Reindeer were getting a snack at the old Airbase at Udon, Thailand. (Most of these kids are Catholic or Christian)
They also enjoy seeing the true meaning of Christmas with narrated (translated) audio from around the World.
Since Harley has opened a Factory here we are hoping that getting Parts will be easier and less the Mark-up Thai Businesses have applied to them (50-70% Mark-up)
I have put on some (a little) weight since High School, most of us have..... I think God's wish for us to gain in Intelligence and Stature. I think most of us exceeded the latter...
We have a Family Restaurant in Woodinville, Run by my Sister-in-law and her Husband, Irene Thai Family Cuisine next to Banner Bank. Try it you will enjoy, and Blood pressure/cholesteryl will drop almost over night.
I remember Mace and George, excellent Memories... Good times!
Happy Birthday Guy!!
(Thanks for figuring out what was going on with my Group Sign on here, Good Job!! Mace)
While I havent done a good job keeping intouch with classmates Dwight was always the one who would comment on my life. he kept the mental link for me to the class. when i read this just now it actually took my breath away....didnt know that phrase was for real until now. i remember his encouraging me all the way back to basketbal at the old school in woodinville. And i swear her was aways the most optimisticperson in the room. too young................. too good a person..........
