Out of a class of 535 we had 198 show up Friday.
Not bad for 40 years later.
I hung out a bit with Jay Fowler of
H.D. Fowler Company, I remember him from at least first grade, he lives in Olympia while his brother Hod runs the Bellevue branch. I used to do plumbing on their moms place when she lived on the lake.
Caught up a little bit with one of the members of our performing choir members, Sandra Allen, who writes a blog for her paper and entertains professionally as a singer, she always had a great voice.
Blaine Beden, Boeing engineer, cancer survivor and excellent softball player.
Deborah Cahill, delivered over 4,000 babies since I had last seen her. She was in choir with me too.
Richard Reynolds, living the good life in Panama, danced professionally for twenty years, was in both choirs with me.
Bob Swanson, I ran against him for class vice president one year, and hung out with him in Junior High, now mentors non-profits.
Tom Lane, boy scouts and five day hikes through the Olympics in Junior High.
Kent Leslie, turns out my older sister used to be his baby sitter, now that had to be a long time ago. He now sells equipment for restaurants.

Larry Quarnstrom, used to use his dad's patrol car (or something that was very much like it) , and tear around the freeway system, his dad was a cop. My dad was a judge. He's now construction management for the school district in Olympia.
Tom Dunn, lived in Surrey Downs near my friend Ross McMains.
Timothy Slaker, went for extra time at BHS, shared a choir class. Smart guy.
Bob Woodcock, living in Montesana now, it was good to catch up with him.
Roy Marshall, now in Florida.

Rick Reed, a lawyer in Seattle now. Cub scouts and boy scouts. Did a lot of hiking with him.
And a few others, but my chemo mind prevents me from remembering all the names, but if we do the next one in five years, that should clear up and I'll be good to go.
