Bear, Happy Birthday today, you share today with my Bride of 49 years who has a Birthday today as well.
Art, Happy Birthday today. My Bride shares today with you!! She's baking her own Birthday cake at the moment!!
Belated Happy Birthday!! I really didn't know you well at Sammamish, but I do recall an incident when you were running for a Student Body position. Speeches, as I remember, were held in the gym with presentations given by the candidates. As I recall, you made your entrance by falling (?) down the stairs as your entrance and then presented your speech. I don't remember if you won, but you sure had a lot of students laughing at your entrance!

Happy Birthday Joanne!! I forgot to ask you at the reunion, what vitamins are you taking because you haven't aged a day! Bob (For some reason, my picture is from 9th grade!!)
It's a small world, part II
I was at the American Consulate office in Saigon having just finished a briefing. As I was leaving the building, I recognized an Army Captain who was a 1962 Sammamish grad, none other than Ron Wolfert!!. He was a Signal Corps officer and I walked over to say "Hi". He had another soldier with him who was filling out paperwork of some kind or another. As soon as the soldier heard my name, he said, "Do you have a sister named Karen who went to school at Newport High?" How small a world is it when you run in to a classmate who also has someone who knew a member of your family? We talked briefly and haven't talked since. It often is a small world.
IT'S A SMALL WORLD
My family and I moved from Germany to Colorado Springs in 1980. In the spring of 1981, I was in a King Soopers Grocery store, they're the QFC of C0olorado and was at the register when I heard a very familiar voice, but one I had not heard in 18 years. I turned around to discover Bob Davies as the store Manager and he didn't look a day older than he did in 1963.
Bob and I attended the 20th reunion in 1983, had a great time and spent a lot of time at the Bellevue Golf Course that week.
In May of 1963, Bob and I travelled to Vancouver to visit his cousins there. Bob was born and raised in Canada. We crossed the Lions Gate Bridge the day they lifted the toll. We didn't have anywhere to stay so we slept in Stanley Park, not knowing it was illegal!!
Bob had married and later divorced Susan Hansen, a Bellevue High grad, her father owned Hansen Buick. He was drafted into the Army and was trained as a Medic with a duty station of Fort Carson. That's how he ended up in Colorado Springs. By 1981 he had recovered from a serious bout with cancer. He also had some property as I recall in western Colorado and had a few horses. He moved back to Bellevue in the early 90's and then I lost track of him. I suspect he may have returned to Colorado. A great guy, could really hit a golf ball well. I attempted to track him down for the reunion but couldn't locate him. It really is a small world.
