Millie and I will be doing a 6 week RV trip around the country this summer and will be in Walla Walla from the 29th of June to the 4th of July. If anyone would like to get together and talk about planning for the 50th reunion next summer I would be up for that.

Our family does a family photo shoot on Memorial Day every year, this is the one from 2016 of our grandkids.

Chuck's dad had a nice collection of old cars.  I remember one that had an analog dial you could set which would cause a buzzer to go off if your speed exceeded the setting.  He would be amazed at what we have in new cars today.

I hope everyone close to the fire areas are safe. We have been watching it all unfold on the news, not a pretty site. We were out there earlier in the summer, flew into Seattle and drove over. Could not believe the lack of snow in the Cascades. Fortunately Virginia has been getting its fair share of rain. We have these nice thunderstorms that pass through in the evenings that bring nice rain showers.

   If you did not know, Jim was a long time Seattle News and Ad voice.  I remember his talent with playing the piano by ear.  When I would go over to his house to hang out he would be down in the basement listening to a record and learning to play the song on his piano.  I can still hear him jamming.  I found one of the clips he did a while back and posted it below.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund is a really good place to get information about our fallen heros as a result of the Vietnam War.
