In a visit this week to one of the several doctors I visit, I saw the (paper) lying there on a table. I opened it up and I saw your photo and the article about spilled cereal.

I do the same thing when I drop something on the floor!

Seeing your name immediately brought back memories of the days back at Bud & Oren's Ranch Market and the weekly ads we ran in the White Center News. Glad to read that you still have some humor.

My wife Mary died in 1989 just a month before I retired from Boeing after almost 35 years there. We had planned to volunteer in Central Eastern Europe so I decided to go alone and went with an organization that had offices in Vienna, Austria. I started there in the spring of 1991.

I met Lorraine over there who was from Redmond. God has interesting plans for our lives doesn't he? We were married in the fall of '92 here in White Center.

We returned to the States in the fall of '94; however we continue to spend one-two months each year in Austria, Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic and Poland. We love the people over there and enjoy serving them in various ways.

I'm nearing 79 years of age and God willing I will be able to continue in this role for some years ahead!

I guess I should subscribe to the "News" as a reminder of the memories past.
