Visiting Beth (Barnet) Fuhriman in Edmonds, WA--Beth was valedictorian of my Fullerton Union High School class of 1959 and this was our first time together since graduation!
New friend Alene Wright and very good friend (we won't say how long) Kathy Tanner
Down to Tualatin, Oregon for Mother's Day with Marcy, Dave, Riley, Trevor, Kendall and Delaney
Then about an hour east of Portland and time with Berni and Dave Gorgas--I've known Berni since the 1950s in Fullerton (added Jan 2010: this was the last time I saw Berni alive)
Then to Moses Lake and lunch with Mary and Ruthie (Emmans) and their husbands,
Mary and Gordon Froese
(Gordon was a boy in Walla Walla when I went to Whitman)
and Ruthie and Rick Ames
Finally back to Seattle and more wonderful opportunities to connect...
Nelson and Helen Wright
(Nelson from the 1950s in Fullerton, Helen from 1960s in Seattle)
Al and Nancy Erisman
Al calculates we have known each other for 60 years!

But the friend who goes back longer than anyone is Alan Sclater (here with his wife Nancy)...Alan and I remember playing together in the 1940s in Huntington Park, CA!
Friends and family--these are rich treasures--from those I've known for over 60 years to those in these photos I just met for the first time on this memorable trip to the Northwest
I remember Alan Sclater in L.A. meeting room! Haven't seen him for years, too! Probably the last time was in the late 60's. =-)
