Nice to remember a bit of the past for a change. That was special! So many great memories came back when I listened to the Diamonds after all these years. I remember dancing to their music at the after game dances in the SHS student lounge. Nice to momentarily escape from constant worry and all the problems that go along with managing our "one stump" ranch. The livestock seem to consume every moment of my life. Hoping to get rid of the cattle and retire, but I'd probably end up a couch potato, watching TV under in a pile of empty beer cans. I keep saying that, but will hang in there for another 5-10 years, health permitting. ---Huhmmmm?We have a Rowe AMI juke box full of old Western 45's. Maybe will have to take out a couple of of George Jones and Tammy Wynett's 45's and squeeze in a couple of the Diamonds 45's if there still are any around------------Is that a life change???????

We now have seven grandchildren, 7 to 19. One grandson and six granddaughters.Since my last update my Dad died but my mother is doing well. My mother-in-law died in October 2009 at the age of 104. She was a wonderful lady. I was blessed to have her for a mother-in-law.We still live in Central Point and continue to be active in our church there."2-5-10
Good Morning All,
Thought you might like to see the snow on the mountains around Tucson. The snow level yesterday was 3800 feet, and we are at 3350 where I live. Yesterday (1-23-10) I worked up in the foothills on security for Pima Canyon Estates, and the snow was only about 100 feet above us, and they said that there were some scattered bits of it in there housing area. That area is on the west end of the Catalina Mountains, and it was sure beautiful yesterday. Sorry I did not have the camera with me, so took these this morning, still beautiful. Heard they were skiing on Mt Lemmon yesterday and today. I had frost on the truck when I got up this morning, and it is still only 50 degrees out right now at 12:42 mountain standard time. Hope you enjoy,
Rich

This is to let you all know that we will be having our desert party again this year. Same timing as in the past ( last weekend in February). Arrive anytime 26,27,28. Friday we will have pot luck to go with prime rib. Saturday will be a Mexican pot luck . Sunday pancake breakfast prior to departure.
This year we would like every one to bring a horse. Just a little one - hand made and about the size of a toilet paper core. It can be made out of anything your heart desires but the only requirement is - It has to stand on 4 legs. Any questions?
Come enjoy the sun.

Mike writes "I would like to let our classmates know that my mother, Jane Roark East passed away on January 19, 2010 at the age of 95 years old. My mother always felt close to the class of 61 and 62 as she spent a lot of time running us all over the place (local taxi) when we were younger and she always loved everyone in the class.
She was living in San Mateo, CA close to my sister Pat for the past 8 years.She had suffered a stroke and was in an assisted living facility for several years.Mother was a reader and the local library had recorded over 1600 books read from the library not to mention what other people brought her.1-28-2010
