Bios: Ralph Osman
We weren't sure what our classmate Ralph Osman's status was. After doing some sleuthing among his family members, I happily received the following email last night:
The report of my demise is greatly overexaggerated. Much to the chagrin, I am still alive as I write this response.
I was wounded in Viet Nam, but am fine. I presently reside in Auburn, WA. and work for the US Department of Veterans Affairs dealing with veteran benefits.
Thanks for getting in contact with my sister.

Ralph, we're ecstatic to learn you're doing okay. Wish we could have found you soon enough for you to plan to join us at the reunion. Who knows? Maybe you can. There's still time to head on over this way.
Tonight's get together is at 6 p.m., Swan's Landing at the south end of the Long Bridge. Tomorrow's begins at 6:30 p.m. at the new Elks Club on HWY 200 (Elks Golf Course) north of Sandpoint.
Note: I commented on this weekend's events on my personal blog at www.slightdetour.blogspot.com. I invite you to read those thoughts.
If we don't see you, thank you for your service in Vietnam and for the service you still provide all our veterans. We appreciate you and veterans of all wars.
