Having fun getting reacquainted with  Kathleen Murphey Pomerinke who recognized  me at the YMCA....my older sister, Mitzie, babysat that clan when she was in high school! 

Hope the reunion plans are coming along.. I so appreciate you keeping us all together..I am planning to send old pictures in my place!  I will scan and send them to...?

Clay,
    I'm sorry to say that the Reunion is at time when my husband and I will be returning from a 2 1/2 wk trip across Canada.  We are still trying to decide if we want to spend another week on the East Coast.
    I will try to get to the next one.  I have many fond memories of growing up in the Yakima Valley.  I enjoy reading about former classmates.
    Life is good.  I have been blessed with family and friends.

Clayton,

Thank you for the updates. I hope you are well. I am looking forward to the reunion...who would have thought...50th????.  

Back in 64 we would have been looking at the class of 1914 gathering... Oh my.

Thanks again,

Bill

About a month after graduating I reported to the Naval Academy at Annapolis. I did fairly well at Annapolis except for my Senior Year during which I became a good bridge player. I had an undistinguished Navy career from 1968 to 1978 home-ported in New London and Norfolk.  I married in 1971. We had a daughter and a son. We moved to Appleton, WI in 1978 and I worked for a capital equipment supplier to the paper industry until 2009. I took a nice early retirement Package in April 2009, due to my wife's failing health, and the financial incentives. She died three months later. I am happily retired and remarried in Appleton. My children and their families are in Appleton and suburban Chicago.

In our retirement years, we seem to be busy not being "busy"! We are so very fortunate to have all three of our kids, spouses and grandkids living close by…all within a 30 minute drive. A new happening this past year is that our son, Jason, married a Top-Hi grad - Sarah Janssen. She had four adopted children, so he is now busy with his new family and loving every minute. He spends half his time in Afghanistan as a helicopter mechanic.  Erin is co-owner with her husband of TNG Heat/AC company in Toppenish. Our other daughter, Ericka, teaches "English as a Second Language" at Selah Elementary. We help fill in the Grandma/Papa times whenever we can. We love being with family.
