Happy Birthday Todd. Did you make it to the reunion last year? I tried, but failed to make it across the border from BC Canada (long story).
How is your health and are you retired?
Am doing fine healthwise - the normal aging issues, but none curbing my mobility and mind to date.

Merry Christmas to you and your family Todd. Cheers, Rich

Happy belated birthday, Robin! Hope you had a great day!

I was very saddened to hear of Pam's untimely passing. What I know is from my friend Shelly Peilen who heard from one of Pam sisters. Apparently our beloved classmate suffered a bowel perforation had surgery but postoperatively went into cardiac failure and subsequently total organ failure. The Morton family, like the Peilen family had three daughters, also spaced two years apart. Harriet and Pam were the oldest, in the class of '71. I knew Pam pretty well although we never dated or anything. She lived on Montrose just down the street from Barb McDonnell. As I recall, they were both in Jobe's Daughters. I had been hoping to see Pam at the reunion but thanks to a perfect storm of incompetence, first  by Social Security, then by the Tile app on my phone, and then my Fedex, I never made it back to the Lost Spur.

However, if Sally Craig Leet, Carol Kennedy, Janet Hubbard, Rich Holmboe (who also didn't make it), Stu Kaufman, Ricky Cohen MD, and anyone who wants to travel out to God's country, i.e. the Pacific Northwest, I am going to host a get together perhaps yet this fall when my wife-to- be, Luicia, originally from ???? comes up from Florida to Portland in October. And Ed Bornstein, Even though you're probably not on here I want to reassure you that even though you say everyone hates you that's not true and I will issue you a personal invitation to come up here from Phoenix. I've come to become a pawn shop aficionado. They are some of the most enjoyable places to visit. Sort of like going to a boutique Goodwill, Costco, or Ross were you never know where  you're going to find and the deals are far better. Just don't bring your AK-47.

So sad to learn this! She was always a good friend through those years.

Cheers and Happy Birthday Susan.

Happy Birthday Jim. Hope all is well with you and your family in SoCal. Cheers, Rich. Anita and I go married this year in March. We both have been married before. Best thing to have happen in a weird dark gray year.

As an elite track and field and X-country runner I shared alot of talk with John and learned to respect his running talent and aggresive tactics.  Our very best performances took place over shared competitive workouts where many good "RUNNERS HIGHS' were achieved.  Boy, where we ever greyhounds then.  He was also a rebel in spirit, as well as a risk take,  something I was envious of in a way. I remember that after a State Meet he said he probably could have beat me to the line if only he had not stayed up late guzzling beer at a party.

He was surrounded by a great close knot family of both siblings and friends (Hi there sister Mary) who literally cheered him over many a hilly and wet leaf strewn muddly course.   He was indeed a champion mudder who even achieved All American Status, better than us other runners did (and I bet he did not give up having that beer the night before).  Good for you John and you are missed.

Cheers, Rich Holmboe, class of 71  March 12 2021
