I remember going on a field trip in kindergarten to Earl's house, which was across the street from Arlington Grade School. It was a big piece of property that our teacher billed as a farm.  I recall Earl hanging by his knees from an apple tree.

Craig and I were close friends for 57 years, ever since working together as boxboys at The Lively Market on Oakes Street when we were 16. Craig came from a great longtime South Tacoma family. He was absolutely trustworthy and he would do anything to help a friend.  He will be missed by the many, many people he befriended through the years.

Hi Rita. It was fun talking with you Saturday. I'll be looking for you at Fred Meyer since that's where I shop. -- Pat

Very sad to hear that Pat has passed.  He was a good friend and talented artist who attended Visitation Grade Schoool with me.  I spent a lot of summer hours working in his family's blueberry field in South Tacoma.  I was hoping to see him again at the reunion.
