Comment: Hello Kangs !
I have enjoyed scrolling through the classmate pages and reading the snapshot bios (+ pictures) on everyone. 
I have been married 18 years to Kathy, I met her at the UW, GO HUSKIES ! luv ya honey. We live in Kirkland and have a son Blake (12) he goes to KJH and a daughter Lauren (9) she goes to Peter Kirk. (The uploaded picture is of kids and me backpacking to Mirror Lake this summer). I see Shelly (Finn) and John Sefton often at Peter Kirk events, they are doing well. I ran into Noel Knappett the other day at QFC he was buying what looked like the bigest fish in the market, Hmmm ??? I talked to John Bathurst today, he is well. Norman, pick up your phone !  LaMott, watching the Olympics reminded me of the 4x100 "HOY", looking forward to catching up with you... By the way, Norman took my "Signed" Paul Sharada Album.
Work, family and this old house keep me busy.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion.

Comment: Hello everyone,
It has been wonderful seeing you all here. GREAT website, Jim. I am still undecided about coming to the reunion. David Winter is doing his best to convince me.
I would love to hear from my old friends. Feel free to call or email.

Comment: I love Nancy very, very much and we've carved our little slice of Heaven on Earth out here in Graham.  Nancy found our house while I was deployed to Iraq and buying a house while deployed was interesting, to say the least.
Stephanie is 4 (5 in October) was born 7 days after I got on the plane to Iraq (6 weeks premature) and I didn't get to see her until she was over 8 months old.  Nancy sent pictures and I had the occasional web cam but it just wasn't the real thing.  Stephanie is busy with preschool, ballet, tap and tumbling and keeping us hopping.  She will either keep us young or make us very, very old...fast.  If I could only bottle and sell her energy I wouldn't have to work.  Stephanie will be attending Kindergarten later this fall, she really is a very bright little girl.
Natalie (15) is a wonderful big Sissy.  She is in 9th grade this year with an eye on High School.  She has the gift of music; she plays the clarinet, saxophone and keyboards.  She performs with the Cougar Mountain Junior High School Jazz Band, Concert Band and Wind Ensemble.  She also has a beautiful voice and performs with the school's Concert Choir.  She is interested in forensics so we'll see where this takes her.
Dereck is 24 now and an Infantryman with the Washington National Guard 81st Infantry Brigade.  He is cuurently serving his second tour in Iraq.  When he is not soldiering he is a student at CWU in Ellensburg.  I am extremely proud of him; he truly is a remarkable young man.
My daughter Amy is 29 (the big 3-0 in May) and currently attending school to become a Pharmacy Technician.  I am proud to report she is pulling a 4.0!!
Nancy works out of our home as a transcriptionist and cuts hair and sells candles and keeps the home together so I can go out and play Army.  
We had trained for another tour in Iraq but situations change and almost at the last minute the President ordered us to Afghanistan.  I'd be lying if I said I didn't see it coming.
Training for our deployment is complete, now we are preparing the vehicles and equipment for shipment overseas - this is where the Army get's it's money's worth out of us Logisticians. 
I am a Maintenance Officer in my second Stryker Brigade at Fort Lewis.  I am in charge of all maintenance and maintenance-related issues for an Infantry Battalion.  In other words, I am responsible for 76 Strykers, each worth $2M - $3M, depending on the variant, 30 HUMVEEs, 12 5-Ton Cargo Trucks, Trailers, Generators, Weapons, Chemical Equipment, Communications Equipment and I do this with a team of 25, including me.  Oh, and I am responsible for them too.  Yes, I'm busy.  But with this job comes opportunity; I am blessed to have some of America's best Sons and Daughters by my side during this time of war and I have the pleasure of teaching, coaching and mentoring these fine young citizen/soldiers.
My two minutes of soap box: Let us not forget we are still a Nation at war; remain vigilant.  Display your patriotism proudly; for all our faults this is still the best Nation in the world. 
Support and pray for your troops!!

Comment:

It's been fun to read over this site (you did a great job on it!) to catch up on people. I've been in Montana the past 16 years. John and I built a log house in the woods outside of Helena. We love it here and are raising 3 great kids: Tom 14, Ben 12 and Matt 8. I'm blessed to be a stay-at-home-mom, although I don't feel like I'm home much between all the activities! I'm sorry to say I can't make it back to Kirkland for the reunion because of other committments. I wish I could. We had a great class, didn't we? My best to you all.
