A wonderful birthday we had celebrating you on 3/31/23. Japanese dinner out, cribbage and sleepover doesn't get much better for this guy!

A belated happy birthday, Billy, the same date as my girlfriend, Suzanne Keller Prideaux. And thank you for your generous time being active in our class reunions.

Thanks Jim for being a friend in school and your 4 year service in the "Corp"! Good for you, no small accomplishment. I hope you're enjoying our later years. Launie

Thanks Paulette....for the memories.

High Babe. Now you're as old as I am in years! You preferred younger men yet decided on me....how lucky can one guy get? Great dinner date on your birthday with cribbage and a sleepover....about as good as it gets for this ol' guy!

....grinding gears up there in your '65 Chevelle!

Terry.  Thanks for posting Gary.s most enlightening stories of Ross.  Ross and I met at Cedar Hills grade school and then continued on to "Sunny Bunny High", as our nemesis and dastardly rival Beavers used to call us, until we beat them in footbal!.  But I digress.  Ross was a freind of mine, albeit not close, and I always enjoyed being around him, with his nice smile, good conversation and friendliness over six years. 

If memmory serves, occasionally, the last time I saw Ross was at a Skyline Reunion and we had a pleasant conversation, not including his background which I was'nt aware of. But reading tonight of his accomplishments, just blows me away!  And I second your comments, Tad.     Ross will not be forgotten and maybe we'll even see him again upstairs.      Launie

Still in love with you Babe and just know that I will be always. Nice to see you in person on your birthday...….but damn this social distancing! Love, lc

Thanks Bob for the nice B/D message. Singing today...76 Trombones led the big parade, being one of our class's oldest! But how did I survive and get here so fast? No complaints mind you! Suzanne's taking us to the Chart House tonight, boy do I get spoiled! Hope you and Christy are doing well. Laun
PS I still have fond memories of our summer of '61 when you and I were inseparable going to movies, swimming at Gifford Pinchot, etc., etc. in your clean and speedy Ford Falcon!

Hey #52, a belated birthday greeting to you. Your new solar home sounds interesting and why not, presumably designed by you, the architect. I looked for you at Mike Gleeson's memorial on Sunday amongst the crowd, but to no avail. It was a grand send off for such an outstanding guy.
Hope to look you up the next time I'm in your neck of the woods. And how about cheering my Beavs on since you're in the area? Except, of course, when they play your Indians........er Cardinal now, I mean. Sometimes it's hard forgetting the past, yet so easy forgetting last week!
PS Paul Pearson's having a dinner get together at Gustav's on Tuesday (6/26/18) @ 5:30 pm near Washington Square Shopping Center in Tigard. A few of our classmates would love to have you join us, I'm sure, as well as Paul.
