Bob was a fun guy to hang with after school. I well remember sitting in his daylight basement listening to Moby Grape, Deep Purple, and our beloved West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. Good times. May his family be blessed in his memory.

Seventy is a rather big number. Are we able? We'll be fine. Blessings to you!

Happy co-birthday! And blessings.
Larry was a great trumpet player. Does anyone know if he kept that up? He was very bright and had a great smile and sense of humor.
Rick rarely attended St. Mark's Lutheran but he was part of my confirmation class. I suppose we were 10-11 years old at the time. One Saturday morning he held his fist against his lips and pushed hard--something like straining to get a high note on a trumpet. When I asked him what he was doing, he told me, with his impish grin, that he wanted to show me some of the cigarette smoke he had from the previous night!
Hi there, Mike. I enjoy thinking of the many times we played after school in junior high. I see in your brief bio that you served in the Peace Corps. Me too, in Liberia, two years after you - I took my time getting through college. My folks moved us to Boise, then Corvallis during high school, hence I didn't graduate from South. They continued to live in Corvallis until their passings. My sister lives in the Jefferson area. I and my wife, Emily, have settled in Virginia. Blessings old friend.
In sixth grade at Salem Heights Elementary, Sherry was a shy, smiling presence. I liked her, and used to like teasing her about the Four Seasons pop song, "Sherry."
It's so many years since I saw you, Kent. In those Judson JrHS days you went by Ken. In my yearbook, you signed your name to your photo but left no note on the fly sheets. You were shy that way. I liked your ways, Ken. Blessings. Rest in peace with our Lord.
It was so very nice to meet with you this week, Rick. I look forward to more. God bless.
