Thank you for all the work done thus far in putting together this web site. Even though I was not at Shoreline for my senior year I attended Shoreline schools twelve years beginning with kindergarten. I recognize so many people as I browse through the directory. I'm really looking forward to getting acquainted again at the reunion.

Fifty years? Where on earth did the time go?  Every now and then the passage of time is brought to my attention from another perspective, like the day a young clerk earnestly assured me "you aren't REAL old, probably not too much older than my Grandma", which I think she meant as a compliment. (Or did she?)

After graduating from Reed College in 1962, and several jobs, I landed at Boeing.  I retired from Boeing in 1970; Don, 20 years ago. Our 40th anniversary was this spring.  Perched up on Squak Mountain, we are mostly homebodies these days.  Hobbies keep us busy, although some, such as flying, scuba, and building guitars (just one as it turned out) are dormant now.

Don's decades in computing have cast him as local guru, keeping our computers in tip-top shape, as well as tech help for neighbors and friends.  I spend almost as much time on the computer as Don but with genealogy and sewing.  Sewing machines are now computers that sew, with astounding capabilities.  These machines and most aspects of sewing (e.g., quilting) have great software now. I like it all. I'm also busy with lessons and tech help for friends both for software and machines.  Various projects emerge from all the software.  Genealogy and photography balance this out somewhat.  Of course we always enjoy contact with family and friends and are looking forward to a visit from Don's family in the fall.

I would really like to attend the Reunion, but health issues will probably prevent it. (Perhaps the 55th?)  If at all possible, I will try to pop in for awhile.  And if anyone finds themselves in Upper Issaquah (we are actually between Issaquah and Renton) we love visitors.
