Reply from Bob Hosmer (’56): Lynnwood, WA.

Regarding the photo:

I know the 2^nd from the left in the front row is Bob Dailly. Faces of a few others are familiar, but I can’t put any names to them. Sorry about that. But I do remember Larry Liere now that I see his picture. Bob

Gary Stokes’ comment
Folks, Hopefully we can identify the remaining 8 in this photo? I’m sure we can do it.

Question from Ardys (Bakken) Horner (Former Teacher): Detroit Lakes, MN

Gary, what did B’s niece say about the “bankrupt” building program in Dubai?
what does she do there, I know they have anormous number of shops. Ardys Horner

Ardys, Edelyn didn’t really have much to say about the situation in Dubai. Edelyn is the daughter of Bernadette’s sister Berlinda, who lives next door to us. Her dads name is Edwin. She is the first born so her name is a combination of her parents names. Many first born children in this country have made up names with combinations of the their parents names. Edelyn has a BA degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management (HRM). She went over to Dubai three years ago with a visitors visa and landed a job within 2 days at the Majestic Restaurant. She was working in food services. She met a guy from India who is also working in Dubai that she is engaged to. She did not renew her contract with the Majestic, but has plans of returning in February. Gary

Message & pictures from Tim Martinson (69): Anchorage, AK

Gary, do you have the classes listed seperately, as this would make a nice list for

quick reference and Christmas cards? I sent that picture off to you and sat down

to watch a movies and fell asleep, woke up and six hours later went into turn the

computer off and see that you had responded back to me. The temperature is

around 20 with about eight inches of snow on the ground, just to remind you that

it is white out here and people are downhill and cross country skiing as well as

starting to get ready for dog sled racing. It warmed up a little last week so we had

nice snow for making snow people. Enjoy. Take Care, Tim

Tim, I have a combined class list from the years 1930 thru 1978, attached, sorted by class year.

This attachment has made this message a little larger than I like to send, but I feel it is something that should to be posted for general info.

You are looking great in this picture! Is that your airplane in the background? Gary
