March---ing on
Good Morning, Classmates,
Well, we've got a reunion committee meeting scheduled for March 16. We would have had it this week, but Mike Parkins and his wife Susie are headed to California today to greet Susie's son Ryan on his return from Iraq. He's a Marine, and we know this will be a very special day for them.
Mike will be back this weekend, so we'll meet to discuss prices and activities. I also learned that Judy Chronic Dabrowski will be in Arizona until the week after next, so the meeting was pushed back to the 16th. If you have ideas for activities or questions, send 'em, and I'll see that they get discussed.
Have heard from Robin Melior Bernhardt in Oregon and Andrea Balch Boyle in California this week. Have also heard from Judie Hagadone Conlan while scheduling our meeting. Just in case ya didn't know, Judie's our Bonner County Assessor, and she does an exemplary job.
FYI: Pat Kaufman died a few months ago. He and Francis McDonnell have lived in Boise for years. Dick and Claire Sodorff are still doing well here in Sandpoint. Dick started a Sandpoint High School Alumni Assoc., which gives scholarships to seniors. Pat Smith and her hubby Dwight moved to Pullman a few years ago. Dwight is such a "Cougs" fan, and their daughter lives there too.
Who could forget Imogene Davis! She died several years ago, but I still miss her. I have a segment about her in my second book and am repeating the story in the third book. She was such a delight, especially as a colleague.
Ray Holt (no he wasn't our teacher), but he did replace Miss Thalenhorst (who later became Mrs. Benson) is retiring from Sandpoint High School this spring. For a while, Ray had the most seniority and I ranked second in the entire district. Somehow Ray had more staying power than I did.
That's all for now. Have a great day.
