I am living in Anacortes, Washington since 2016. Close by, is my daughter Debbie and grandson Hunter (19) I bought a boat when I moved to this northern Puget Sound coastal town. I'd never had any boating experience but had some great instructors/friends. Bought a bigger boat in 2019 with hopes of taking it up to SE Alaska. Plenty of amazing local destinations here both anchorages and marinas.

Summer of 2023 myself (solo) and one other similar boat, headed out for Glacier Bay. Amazing trip and scenery. Out for 55 days of pure adventure and remote locations.

Retirement (2013) from 45 years of ER nursing, has been a succession of good times and good health. Living in the Pacific Northwest is the greatest.

Sorry to miss our 60th anniversary reunion. I guess I've missed them all. I am lucky to be able to stay connected to some of my classmates on Facebook.

Hoping to see some reunion pictures. Thank you for keeping us all in the loop.

I am so sorry I will not be able to get there.....I will be there in spirit! Give my regards to my prom date Bobby Carter. Also, hello to Brad Rich who gave me his milk in kindergarten, after I spilled mine :-)

Will hope to hear who came the farthest distance to get there.....I might have been a contender for that (Seattle)

Last bit of info.....I retired from my Emergency RN job in 2013 after 45 years! Who would have guessed that direction for me?? Lots of stuff left to do now that the work part is over!! Daughter and grandson to enjoy!

Have a great reunion celebration! Good health and happiness to those of us that made it this far :-)
