Tom Brimm

I ran into classmate Tom Brimm last summer - he plays in a local band. I got a few pictures of him playing at a private party.

I also have a neat video - but have problems posting it! Darn, it's pretty cool.

Tom is known wide and far as the "headbanger", as he is constantly moving his head up and down with the music he plays. He jumps and thumps a lot too!

Tom is living in Moses Lake with his wife, and has two children. He sure hasn't changed in looks too much!

Bill, Lucinda and Emily West helped out at the check-in desk for the Japan Airlines 40th Anniversary (at Moses Lake) Celebration on Friday, November 7, 2008. I volunteered to do the check-in, and when the count escalated to 150 called Lucinda for help. Over 150 people showed up from points far and near to attend this great celebration. The top picture is of Emily, Lucinda and Bill, and the following picture is of Emily and Lucinda:

Em is quite the card (and a great BBCC ASB Secretary!). It was so great of them to help out - they knew all the people I didn't know, so it meant for a smooth check-in, which is exactly what you want.

Bill and Lucinda have been married - well, forever I guess! I had the opportunity to travel with them to Vancouver Canada for Doug Bennion's friend Julie's services. They have been married so long they complete each other's sentences, and know immediately what each other needs.

Not only are they are good couple, they are a wonderful family - kind and loving.

So how is YOUR family doing today? Mo

Lunch with the Girls

DC is in town for awhile, taking care of Papa Joe (who had a minor stroke), and we went to lunch today. Joining us were Faye Adolphsen, Deb Marchmonte and Jolene Janke. It's good to get together with everyone once in a while!

Tony Dillon Retires at 55!

Classmate Tony Dillon retired from Big Bend Community College, where he worked as a printer for over 20 years!

Tony and his wife Marge are in Florida now, picking out a sailboat to enjoy their retirement years.

If you look close, you can see Tony's Pony (tail, that is). Tony decided to not cut his hair about two years ago until he retired. Maybe he's sporting a mohawk now?
