Back in October, I got a note from Sue Engles (Dave's wife) and I had meant to share that with the class. The world may have been spinning too fast that day. Here's Sue's message:

Thought I'd let you know about a couple of changes in our lives.  Our daughter Mary moved to Moscow in August, 2012 to attend graduate school at the University of Idaho.  She's working on a doctorate in water resources management.
 
It was getting a little lonely there in Aurora, and since I retired last November, I was free to go where I wanted.  So at the end of June I sold my house and moved to Moscow.  Dave and I left Moscow to move to Alaska in May 1973.  He had lived here since 1959; and I since 1965.  I'm leasing an apartment for awhile to see if I like it here well enough to buy something.  So far I like it very much. 
 
Jenny and her family still live in Honolulu.  Mary and I and Dave's brother Chuck will be there with them for Christmas.

Sue sent in an update today to catch us up again...

I'm getting nicely settled here in Moscow.  One of the fun things I'm doing is hiking with a group of women who try to get out once a week, rain or shine.  One of the women is Cathy Porter, Jack's wife.  It is nice getting to know her.

I plan to keep Sue updated on our Reunion in hopes that she may join us for part of the event.

Rick Breen (Steven Breen's brother) called yesterday. He had heard of Charlie's passing and wanted to let us know that he remembers Charlie and many other classmates. He wanted to keep in touch and... if folks from the class find themselves in the Salem OR area... give him a call. He asked that I pass along a message to the class.

So here is my contact info:  6345 Lakeside Drive, Brooks, OR 97305   503 393-2008.  Brooks is north of Salem -- I'm located about one mile east of I-5. 

My wife and I live on three acres and we actually have a concrete RV pad (with all hookups) on our place.  That's not to say one must have an RV to drop in -- all Spuds are welcome to hole up, eat, rest, etcetera -- dogs welcome.  So if I/we can be of assistance to whomever in the future, great.  I'd love to see the red, white and blue license plates roll through the gate.  :-0 

  Best wishes.  Rick

Rich Griffin passed on an update for his email address. It reads a bit like a eulogy for an old friend... It reads:

"To all of my Classmates

It is with great sorrow and a heavy heart I bring you the news, GROUPERTROOPER45 had his Home Going celebration this Friday 6/1/2012 around 10:00 AM.   Yes, Groupertrooper45 served me will for many years.  Friday morning I was told by Earthlink, someone had got my pass word to my e-mail account and was sending bulk mail to everyone on my address book and because this was not the first time, they closed my account.

My new e-mail address is:  "RCGriffin45@verizon.net".  I know it is not as flashy and storytelling as the Grouper but it is much shorter and easier to write.

So say fear well to The Grouper and welcome RCGriff.  He is the same great guy. 

Take Care,
Richard C. Griffin"

I also updated the address on Rich's page.
