On September 10th Donald (aka Carter the Great) will turn 60. I know my good dear friend would appreciate any and all wishes from the class of 67. Once again due to lack of interest I was unable to organize a fitting party for Donald. I know that all of us wish Donald a speedy recuperation from his shoulder surgery (rumor has it that it was self inflicted damage by throwing his golf clubs in anger). In closing I know that all of us wish Donald the very best and hope that he gets everything he deserves. Bob.

 

Cathy Voie Eisenman, 08/30/2009

I had dinner with my cousin last night. She flew up from LA to attend her 60th EHS reunion, which is being held at the VFW this afternoon. I asked her if she knew who would be attending. She said "no" and kind of raised her eyebrows as if she was thinking "I hope some others besides me". Thanks for always keeping us informed. It is so nice to have a clue so we know who to look forward to seeing. I hope you'll still be doing this when we are 78!!

 

Loren Bogart, 08/09/2009

Thanks for all your effort for our class. I was up in Nootka sound fishing for a week so I couldn't make the party, but it is nice to be able to follow on-line, Thanks again.

 

Lorna Eagen McGowan-Smith, 08/08/2009

Great party, and as always it was wonderful to see all who were there. I'm up for any additional events that the organizing committee might be interested in bringing on. I know it's a huge amount of work for you all, and I wish I lived closer so that I could help out. Kudos and big thanks to the entire committee. You all make me smile.

 

Don Carter, 08/07/2009

As some of you know, I sometimes kid my good friend, the incorruptible and generous Bob Lee, about being tight-fisted.  This is done in jest as Bob always thinks of others first.  While he is known as “DR. GREED” by all at Everett Golf and Country Club, it is merely a term of endearment.  I do wish to thank him for generously posting an ad in the Herald on the day of the event (click thumbnail at left); however I was not surprised by this display of the obvious affection he has for all of his classmates.  I also note that Bob used his favorite portrait in a pose that most all of us who know him well have seen many times over the years.  I am, as always, truly humbled by the magnanimous gesture of Bob on the day of our party.  I would hope that you will share this email and the attachment with all of our class so that they will know the high esteem in which I hold Bob.  Regards, DW

Diane Durr Coker, 08/07/2009

Hi - Had a good time at the 60th party. Good to see so many of our classmates. Any chance of putting names under the photos from the party? My memory, "She ain't what she used to be!" Have a great rest of the summer.

Well, Diane, you are by no means the first to suggest names on the photos! Now, if we can just remember to get that done...  Huh? What were we talking about?

 

Diane O'Farrell, 05/12/2009

I regret to inform you that my brother [Dennis O'Farrell] died in February 2005, after a long battle with M.S.

Dear Diane, please accept our condolences. EHS Class of 1967.

 

Julie Dickey Firouzi, 03/17/2009

Hello Friends, I plan to be at the 60th Birthday Party in July and I can't wait to see you all again . . . . .  Sue Moe French, Nikki Koster Mickey, Noel Brown Downey and so many more of you.

 

Teresa Mallang Jones, 03/01/2009

All my husband and I do is spend time building and enjoying old cars -- street rods, etc. In fact, I joke that I live in a garage, which is kind of true. We have about 2,000 sq. ft. of living area, and about 7,000 sq. ft. of garage. A very nice way to live, but like back in the 50's. I still found time for 3 stepchildren (a stepson deceased), 5 grandsons, 3 great-granddaughters, and 4 cats -- Caprice, Harley, Chevelle, and Suzy Q. In addition, a banking career, managing our auto repair shop for 25 years, and just having a lot of fun. I was very fortunate to marry my best friend, Jess Jones.  TJ

 

Lorna Egan McGowan-Smith, 01/03/2009

Hi. I'm looking forward to the [60th] b'day party . . . let me know as it gets closer if there's anything I can do to help from w-a-y up here in the wilds of Ferndale, OK? Thanks to you and the others for all your good work. Lorna.

 

John Roberts, 11/12/2008

[From the Guestbook]  I have found this site by following up the history of one of my ancestors. He was Enoch "Baggy" Bagshaw and he was coach to Everett High football team in the years after World War One. He went on to great feats in the national arena (I'm sure there will be many out there who know more than I do about his achievements.) He was originally from North Wales U.K. (as am I ) and his father Francis was the brother of my great grandmother. I am trying to find out as much as possible about him and maybe make contact with some of his descendants and other relations. Any information gratefully received. John Roberts (Flint, Flintshire U.K.)

 

Hello John, Thank you for signing our guestbook on www.EHS1967.comHere are a few links about your ancestor, “Baggy” Bagshaw, . . .

I wish there were more here about the man than about the coach, but it is what it is. By the way, my own ancestors came from Wales in 1697, landing in Pennsylvania. They were Quakers, who fled persecution (hanging) by the King. We've since lost touch with all relatives in Wales and England. Take care. Bill Hughes

 

Thanks Bill. As you say, it would be nice to find out about Enoch the man, but, nevertheless, your help is much appreciated. I am slowly putting together some facts about the Bagshaw family but is is not easy at such a distance. I have some military facts about Enoch and some other relatives in WWI but beyond that he is a mystery. He did seem to find fame (if not fortune) by moving to the USA. The Internet is a great help of course and it is relatively easy to get in touch with generous people like yourself who give of their time to help me out. Thanks again and Best Wishes, John Roberts.

 

Margaret Gish Campbell, 09/21/2008

[I think you're right about all the interesting stories among EHS '67 classmates]. I wonder how many of us actually lived the life we thought we would when we were back in high school. And yet, no matter how diverse our courses, I bet we've all learned a lot of the same lessons. I like [the] 'charge' to have fun and find the humor in life. Well, there is a group of us from EHS who get together every summer, usually at my lake place, for 3 or 4 days. We started this after our reunion at the little fire station on the waterfront. We've taken that charge to heart as each year we go swimming, ski-doing, kayaking, hiking, biking (Hiawatha Trail this summer), and even jumping off a bridge. The conversations, tears, and laughter we share are priceless. A year ago, Jeep and Katie were on the lake (Coeur d'Alene) and joined us for dinner. It turned out to be their 25th wedding anniversary. What good sports! It really has been amazing how easily we all picked up where we left off in high school. Some of my best memories come from these get-togethers and it all started with a reunion. Who knows, your hard work in putting on our 40th may have encouraged others to rekindle old friendships. I hope so.

 

Susan Myers Williams, 09/10/2008

Thank you for sharing [the meeting minutes]. I get such a laugh. Wish I could attend the meetings. (Living in West Richland, WA)

 

Mary Saunders Snedden, 09/06/2008

If the [July 28, 2008] minutes are any reflection of the true meeting you had better get a big place for the birthday party because you seem to be gathering steam.  Look forward to it.

 

Bill Mott, 07/06/2008

My wife is an alumni of EHS 1968 and hasn't heard anything from them [about a 40-year reunion].  Do you know who to contact?

Reply - We understand a few former EHS Class of 1968 officers chose not to lead a 40-year event. Instead of counting on a couple of your former classmates to take charge, why don't the rest of you get together and organize your own event? Nobody said only certain individuals can put together a class reunion. You don't need anyone's permission to have a great time with your former EHS classmates.

 

Larry Edwards, 06/20/2008

I just ran across the Class of ’67 website.  So sorry I missed the reunion!  I moved away from Everett after graduating from Seattle Pacific and lost contact with everyone from the class.  I’ve registered on the website.  I looked at the links for individuals.  Maybe you could add mine in case anyone is looking for information (I’m also artistic director of the Memphis Symphony Chorus).  I’m glad I’m “in the loop” about any further events.

 

Karen Phillips Wick, 08/28/2007

Hi - Karen Phillips Wick here -- SHS Class of '67, but if I had not moved to Snohomish in the 8th grade, I would have graduated at EHS with all of you. We just had our 40th also and I enjoyed viewing your website -- you've done an outstanding job. I forwarded it to individuals on our planning committee so they can see what an outstanding job you did (and a small hint to them). You may not remember me but we did go to school together. I lived on 28th & Chestnut in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades, then moved to Snohomish. Prior to that I lived on 23rd and Oakes. I occasionally see a few EHS Classmates, which is always fun since so much of my childhood was spent in Everett. Anyway -- looking at your website was great fun ... I enjoyed seeing a few people I recognized.

 

Dale Rice, 08/10/2007

It was great seeing everyone again. Thanks again for the work in putting it together. It was more fun than I expected. Good job.

 

Lorna (Eagan) McGowan-Smith, 07/24/2007

I can't tell you how happy I am that I decided to go to our 40th reunion. Many thanks to the committee for all your hard work. I had only been to the 20th reunion prior to this, and this certainly took the "best of breed" award. It was just a terrific time seeing old friends and acquaintances. There were a few old friends that I wish had been there (some who are, unfortunately, lost to us now) but - wow - you sure can't beat those who WERE there. Cindy, Noel (both Noel's), Sue, Harold, Earl, Sherry, Dina, Bill, Charlie and many more - you all looked wonderful. What a great bunch of groovy "old" (ha!) people. I'd be interested in a 45th gathering, if there's enough interest. I live in the boonie's of Ferndale, but would be happy to help out long-distance if needed.

 

Paul Carlin, 07/21/2007

After working for 37 years, including my four years in the Air Force, I retired from the Everett Post Office. I've been married going on 28 years, next February. We have one daughter and two grandsons. Our youngest grandson, Ashton, turned one month old, yesterday. Our oldest grandson, Bailey, will be six in August. We moved to Florida to get out of the rain, to get to the hurricanes (ha ha). My daughter and grandsons are staying with us while their daddy is in Iraq. He was supposed to be home for good in June, but was extended until September. I'll be coming back to Washington next month for about two weeks, helping get my daughter settled. I'm sorry I missed the reunion. The most important things to me are my family and good health. I wish all my former classmates the best of luck with the same.

 

Sherry Schnacker Weiss, 07/18/2007

Thank you very much for making the 40-year Class Reunion a reunion I'll never ever forget, for the rest of my life. Wow! I wouldn't have missed it - what a memorable treat! Warm regards, Sherry.

Editor's comment: Sherry, you're very welcome and thank you so much for attending. Not only did we have a blast putting the reunion together, the fact so many classmates and guests enjoyed it makes us very happy. Thank you!

 

Cynthia Berentson Aanestad, 07/18/2007

Thanks to the committee again for all of its hard work. It really was the best reunion we've had. Just sorry there was no dancing - I had practiced the shingaling and pony for weeks!

 

Janice Jasper Legg, 07/18/2007

What a great event!  Thank you so much for all your hard work.

 

Annette Kerber, 07/16/2007

Please read. I sent a thank you to the school district for the [July 14, 2007] tour.

"Ms. Kerber, I am glad that your tour went well. I am sorry that I was out of town and could not stop in. We are working on a project highlighting the accomplishments of our alumni in hopes that they will inspire current students. You can see our project on the EHS homepage. http://www.everett.k12.wa.us/everetthigh/. If you send me an address, I can mail you brochures for the project. I would love to see members of the class of 67 on our website." [Signed] Catherine.

David Weatherholt, 07/13/2007

Hi - I’ve been looking forward to attending this reunion. Unfortunately, business is going to prevent me from getting down to Everett at this time. Starting the first ever professional football team in Alaska, even though it is a minor league team, has taken all of my time. I’ve gone from a single person with a vision to an organization with $1.2 million budget, 25 football players, 16 cheerleaders, coaches, sales and accounting people moving into the last weeks of our first season. What a wild ride - it has had more ups and downs than any roller coaster, and I hate roller coasters, but as they say it builds character. I didn’t think I needed that much character building!. Please pass on my regards to the class with my regrets for not being there. You can follow my ride by going to www.goakwild.com. Stay in touch.

 

Ginny (and John) Bond, 07/11/2007

Thanks so much for all your work on the reunion. John and I are here in Oxford (England) so we won't be able to be there this weekend. It would have been fun and we look forward to seeing pictures and whatever else is put online afterward. Please ask the committee to keep the class of '68 in mind as you clean out your committee notes, brainstorming lists, etc. We will begin our planning sometime soon. Thanks again for all your work! Have a fun weekend!

 

Laurence McKenrick, 07/07/2007

This will be my first class reunion. I served in the United States Navy for over twenty years, retiring in October 1989. I worked my way through college and have received my A.S., B.S., and M.S. degrees from various junior, senior, and graduate-level schools. I retired from the Navy as a Chief Hospitalman (Corpsman) with over 20 years of Honorable service. I currently work for Public Health - Seattle & King County - in the Local Hazardous Waste Management Program. I have worked at this public health occupation for nearly 18 years. And, I want to say I can hardly wait 7years 10 months and 10 days to retire a second time around, so I can "eat beans and howl at the moon." I'm a little apprehensive about the reunion. I'm afraid I won't know anyone there. Please do not bother looking for my graduation picture because I couldn't afford one to put in the Nesika. Mahalo.

Reasons for attending reunion: This will be my first high school reunion.

 

Editor's comment: There were nearly 100 EHS 1967 classmates whose pictures were never included in the Nesika for a variety of reasons, so Larry is in good company. If you are among those, and can send us a personal photo circa 1967, we will post it on this website under the Photo Album / Missing Seniors page (see menu at left).

 

Ardyth Myres-Metz, 07/02/2007

I am still single and have 2 daughters. My daughter Angie lives in Oregon with my 2 very handsome grandsons, Alex and Jackson. My other daughter, Carissa, lives with me in Lake Forest Park with her 2 English Bullies, while working at Moss Adams downtown Seattle. When not at work I spend a lot of time making sure my Father has what he needs, and spending time with very old and dear friends. I will be leaving town on the morning of July 14th.

 

Don Carter, 06/29/2007 (Excerpt from the June 6th Reunion Committee minutes)

Working on the reunion committees over the years has been great fun and has made me realize how fortunate I have been to return to Everett and make my home and life here. We are all shaped by where we grew up and who we befriended. To all my friends and classmates—I thank you and look forward to seeing you at the reunion.

D.W. Carter, AKA "Sweets"

 

Ginny (and John) Bond, 06/09/2007

I [we] haven't figured out how to respond [to our reunion invitation]. Maybe, "Would love to come but will be out of the area on the day of the reunion." On the [registration] form it asks if we "want' to come to the reunion. Wanting to come to the reunion, or not, isn't the issue! John has been invited to present at the Oxford Round Table, in England, so we will be out of the area. I hope you will be able to put some pictures from the reunion on the EHS 1967 website. In any event, thank you for keeping us up to date and answering my questions, even though now we won't even be there!  Enjoy the evening and keep us on the list for the 50th. 45th?

Reasons for NOT attending reunion: Just found out about it 06/2007..can't get time off work in summer...wish I could. Was in Seattle last October and visited with Nancy Stringfellow.

 

Steven Berg, 05/28/2007

I will be in Argentina for the month of July so I will not be able to attend [the 40-year reunion on July 14th].

 

Dennis Hendry, 05/22/2007

The reunion will be a great opportunity to see old friends and acquaintances. Hard to believe it's been 40 years.

 

Frances (Elaine) Meeker Carlson, 05/19/2007

I will be out of state and unable to attend the reunion.

 

Sandra Bogdanovich Swanson, 05/18/2007

Retired at age 50 from real estate investments. Own properties in Florida where I snow-bird in the winter and own a Chimpanzee shelter. Fly a Cessna 150, have a Corvette and just try to enjoy life.

Reasons for attending reunion: See old friends.

 

Julie Dickey Firouzi, 05/07/2007

I attended the University of Washington after graduation. I taught sixth grade for one year in the Everett School District. I then left for Germany to teach German high school students English as a Second Language. From there, I lived in Iran for 3 years, teaching English and Atomic Energy classes to cadets in the Imperial Iranian Air Force. I met my husband, returned to the states and we raised a family - first in the Everett/Marysville area and later in Texas. We have lived in Texas for 16 years. We have always enjoyed world travel with our family and now retired, we continue to do so. We even traveled the USA for a year in a spacious new RV. I missed the kids and our grandson so much I frequently abandoned my husband in "foreign" states for several days at a time to fly home to Texas to get my "fix". Usually I also picked up, or dropped off, our pre-school aged grandson who frequently traveled with us. And so, we enjoy being at home in Texas or spending Christmas in the snow in Leavenworth with extended family, summers at Lake Chelan and along the coasts of Washington, Oregon and California. We travel "across the pond" to quench our thirst for something really different. I can't wait to see y'all at the reunion.

Reasons for attending reunion: To re-connect with my friends - Sue Moe, Nikki Koster, Anne Solle

 

Vince Feltes, 4/30/2007

How's it going? The planning committee has done a great job in organizing this event, and I will be there! I was just checking in. Steve Peterson said the invitations had been sent out, but I haven't received one yet. I gave my address some time ago, is it in the data base?

Reply - Hi Vince! You should have received an invitation in the mail. If not, you can register directly on the Reunions With Class (RWC) website. Press "Reserve Now" and enter your class code or select the option without a class code. Then, simply make your reservation online.  Please contact us if you have any problems with the RWC site. Vince, we're looking forward to seeing you at the reunion!

 

John Hollister, 4/28/2007

I left Everett in 1968 when the parents moved to California. I'm still living here in San Diego and love it, but the wife and I are going to retire in Utah (no we aren't Mormons). The kids and grandkids live there. Hope to see all of you at the reunion.

Reasons for attending reunion: Started at EHS with the class of 67 and have a lot of friends I would love to see again.

Note - John was not on our class list, but will be added shortly! John, we're looking forward to seeing you at the reunion!

 

Nadene Wood Ward, 04/17/2007

Reasons for attending reunion: To see old classmates and friends.

 

Margie Keefe Lambert, 04/10/2007

I have lived in this area most of the time since graduation from Everett High School. We have four boys - two from my first marriage, and two more from my husband's first. We have two grandchildren and another one is due in August. I work at Rite Aid and am still playing soccer (though not as well any more).

Reasons for attending reunion: To see old friends.

 

Bill Hughes, 04/10/2007

Several of you offered your condolences following the recent loss of my parents. I just want to let you know that your kind thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 

Toni Oliver Woodhull, 03/21/2007

I have worked for Providence Hospital for 16 years. I have two daughters. The oldest is Denise, and she has two children, Janden and Kiana (my grandchildren). My youngest daughter, Michelle, is getting married this July. She is a RN, working in a Mt. Vernon clinic. I am an avid horseback rider and belong to the Snohomish Chapter of the Backcountry Horseman Traildusters. My daughters and I have 3 horses - my grandchildren ride too. I can't wait to see everyone.

Reasons for attending reunion: See everyone.

 

Donna Lundstrom Hause, 03/18/2007

I have discovered that life exists outside of the classroom. After spending twelve years as an Everett school district student, five plus years as a college student, and thirty years as a teacher, I am now learning in the classroom of life. Upon reflection, I am grateful for the academic lessons I learned, but I am most gratified by the spiritual lessons. For the past two years I have been able to enhance my relationships with people, especially my wonderful husband, Michael, and extend my service to the community and the world. In the end, the "stuff" I surround myself with is meaningless, but the hearts I touch will thrive. With my passport in hand and my away bag packed, I am ready to go where I am needed.

 

Wilma (Dolly) Zevenbergen Gay, 03/16/2007

Reasons for attending reunion: See old friends.

 

Gayle Syverson Frink, 03/16/2007

Over the last 40 years: I got married in 1969 and have 2 daughters. The oldest is 35 and has 6 children. The youngest is 24 and is graduating on June 16th from City University, to become an elementary teacher. My husband, Tim, and I have owned Alpine Refrigeration Systems since 1984. We have lived in the same home for 30 years. We like to travel and have been to Germany, Austria, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, most of the Caribbean Islands, Hawaii, and about 15 mainland states. I am looking forward to seeing old friends from school I haven't seen since the 25th reunion. I just wish more classmates would have been found. I was unaware there were so many of us that were on the "lost" list since I have had the same address and phone number for 30 years and the ones I have kept in contact with are also on the "missing" list. With only a few months before the reunion I would think it would be hard for others to arrange to attend on such short notice.

Reasons for attending reunion: See old friends.

 

Kristi O'Harran, Everett Herald Columnist, 03/15/2007

Hi. This is Columnist Kristi O'Harran at the Herald. I would love you to share your thoughts for an upcoming column. We mentioned in last Thursday's newspaper that a 1967 "Lost in Space" lunch bucket was worth $410. We got to talking about how we used to take our lunches to school, in a fancy bucket or in a plain paper bag? What did your mother send? Do you have a valuable old lunch box in the attic? Do you remember if you had a Roy Rogers or Dale Evans bucket? I would love to hear your thoughts.

 

Carol Haatveit Andersen, 03/10/2007

Andy and I have been married for 32 years. We have two sons, ages 29 and 27, plus a four-month-old granddaughter. We have lived in Ellensburg, WA for the last 16 years.

 

Sally Mitchell Barnum, 2/25/2007

Reasons for attending reunion: To visit with friends that were such a big part of my life growing up.

 

Susan Shipley, 02/23/2007

I have lived in the Phoenix Area for 15 years, and worked for Southwest Airlines for 14 years. I have three grown sons and six grandchildren. Two of my sons live within a mile of me, while the third son lives in Alaska. I fly to Washington and Alaska often. In April I am going to New Zealand.

 

John (Skip) Sponek, 02/20/2007

Played at EHS dances in a band called That Sound, still play at bars. Been working as a graphic artist for the Courier Islander Newspaper in Campbell River BC for 28 years. Spend my spare time playing with my old shovelhead Harley.

Reasons for attending reunion: See who's still around and have a cold beer.

 

Betty Towle Smith, 02/20/2007

Reasons for attending reunion: I'm really looking forward to reuniting with old friends.

 

Michele (Shelly) Beilfus Nondorf, 01/31/2007

I didn't make the 30-year reunion so it has been a long time since I have seen most of you. This website if terrific. It has been so much fun reading classmates' comments and seeing the pictures. Now you can take me off the "missing" list.

Reasons for attending reunion: To see everyone.

 

(Note - Shelly was our first "find" through our Everett Herald reunion notice. Thank you, Everett Herald!)

 

Diane (De) Durr Hansberry, 01/30/2007

Reasons for attending reunion: Looking forward to seeing "old" classmates.

 

Gretchen Anderson Roubik, 01/27/2007

Hello. I came across this website by chance and I am thrilled. It was strange to go through the pictures of the EHS class of '67 and recognize, or kind of recognize, many of the people. However, I felt sad whenever I saw a classmate's name in red print and asked myself, "What happened?" Thankfully, I have had an extremely interesting life. I live in Panama City, Panama.

 

Steve Cant, 01/20/2007

Have worked in occupational safety and health for more than 30 years; have two boys both in their 20's; am single again. Like snow skiing, football and baseball. I travel a bit on the job and currently am the national chair of a 26-states & territories group that operates workplace safety programs.

Margot Bay-Schmith Newcomb, 01/18/2007

I left work and Western Washington, in July 2003. We bought 3 acres with an old one-room school and home on it, in Kettle Falls. We are in the process of repairing the school. We will be opening it to the community for performing arts, and for local artists to show and sell their wares.

Reasons for attending reunion: Just to see everyone I haven't seen in years and to find out what they've been doing.

 

Loren Bogart, 01/16/2007

Teresa and I have been married 33 years. We have 4 daughters and 12 grandchildren. I recently retired after 36 years in construction. I spent a couple years in Alaska and the rest of them with Lakeside Industries, whom I still work for part-time, consulting from my home. Besides raising children, Teresa and I spent 20 years trying to be competitive runners. We never made it, but we love being outdoors, enjoying this beautiful Pacific Northwest any way we can.

Reasons for attending reunion: Memories

 

Eugenia (Jeannie) Merkel Macrae-Smith, 01/09/2007

My husband and I just celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary, in December. I have been employed with the JCPenney Company as a Salon Manager, in Vancouver, WA, for 27 years. I did leave the company for about 5 years to become a travel agent, which I loved. But after spending all my money on travel, I had to get a real job, so I went back to JCPenney, where I have been since 1997. I am going to retire in June. Yea!! I can't wait. My husband and I plan on moving to Boise where my son lives with his wife and four girls. My daughter lives in Washougal with her husband and 3 children. I hope to see many of my former classmates at the reunion. See you then!

Reasons for attending reunion: To catch up on what the class of '67 is doing and maybe see some "kids" I haven't seen since graduating.

Christina (Tina) Trapp, 12/07/2006

Greetings to all classmates from Christina. I'm living a rustic life on the Hood Canal. Have a little cabin with a breath taking view of the canal and Mt. Rainier. While in Everett on Federal we had a view of sunsets, here it is, sunrises. At this time, the love of my life is a very pregnant lab pound puppy. The highlight of my life has been a teaching stint on the Navajo Rez. Most of my best memories come from that period in my life. I still love traveling and visiting relatives in Germany. Recently have had some wonderful vacations with Dina.

Thank you for the latest update. I enjoy reading the e-mails. Though it has been 40 years, seeing these names brings back memories as if they were yesterday. I was saddened to read the names of the class mates that are no longer with us. Dave Smith was in Vietnam roughly the same time I was so that really hit home. The next time you see Billy Tackitt tell him I said hi. He and I grew up together from the second grade through high school.

Kathy Stewart Romstad, 11/08/2006

Hi! Just wanted you to know that the Decorations team is already hard at work. Susie and I have picked a date in December to meet at the Hilton Garden Inn to check out the room, set-up options, linens, etc. We will also try to take a peek across the street at the Flight Museum while we're in the neighborhood. Thought I'd ask if you had a contact name and number for the Catering Dept. at the Hilton? Also, do you remember the website address for the Class of 1966 reunion that was mentioned two meetings ago? I'd like to see if there were any pictures posted that might show the decorations they used.......just for ideas. Also, we'll do our best to try and recruit more "gals" (as Tackitt put it) to hopefully take on the "Nostalgia" piece. Thanks again to whoever picked up the tab for my wine (Tackitt and Dorsey?) Happy Thanksgiving!

 

P.S. Oh, and thanks for the explanation on the Friday night function...................no biggee as far as I'm concerned either way............it might even be fun with a few Bruins there, I guess!

 

Steve & Sally Anderson, 11/06/2006

Thanks for all your effort in getting the class of 67 organized! I am pleased to inform the team that Sally Norway Anderson and I are still residing at the same address and her (our) personal email information is [omitted to protect privacy]. I am certain that Sally would like to receive updates - she is the more responsible member of the family anyway.

 

Jeep Carpenter, 11/05/2006

Katie and I have been married for 24 years and have two girls, Kelsey (22) and Jenny (20) both of whom graduated from EHS.

Jennifer Johnston Georges, 10/08/2006

Dear Committee,

Thank you for organizing the EHS 40th reunion! I am very impressed with this web site and being contacted by Annette Kerber. The committee is really on the ball! I am very much looking forward to the reunion. I am still teaching school and it takes up all my time (and most of my energy). I live in Kirkland with my husband, Britt. We spent all last year remodeling our house--something I will never, ever do again. Several of us (Sally Mitchell, Margaret Gish, Susan Jensen, Susan Radke and I) get together every summer. Needless to say, we always talk about the "good old days" at EHS. Thanks for all your hard work.

Reasons for attending reunion: To see everyone again.

Linda Bauman-Houglum, 10/03/2006

Greetings from Alaska! It is wonderful to hear about the class reunion!! Thank you to the "working committees" who will make this special event happen! Will write more later....

Reasons for attending reunion: It would be wonderful to see everyone again!!! It would be fun to remember so many significant moments with friends during our high school years at EHS. I want to share life stories with each other, to be proud, happy, and supportive of each other at this time in our lives. As I remember, the EHS Class of 1967 was a gifted group of students showing much promise for the future. What a great time to get together to celebrate our lives and each other!!! Hope Tom and I will be able to be there....

Reunion ideas:

1. How about a Reunion T-Shirt with a meaningful quote from the past or a wish for the future to our class? Could be worn for informal get-togethers and help solve the "clothes" issue.

2. People will probably do this anyway, but bring pictures to share!! Lots of them!

3. Have a photographer take pictures of friends, groups, (e.g. choir/band members present, etc.), spouses/significant others, etc. Maybe a large group picture as a memento.

4. How about a donation to Habitat for Humanity or the Boys & Girls Club or ???? in honor of the members of our class (living and deceased). I think this opportunity would be legacy and be meaningful in a hands-on way. We are still the generation that wants to make the world a better place!

David Weatherholt, 09/14/2006

This is a very nice site. Someone did a lot of work; I know that Bill Hughes has had a lot to do with the site development. Great job and Thanks.

Our High School days were a long time ago and it amazes me the impact it has had on my life that short 3 years filled with so many great memories. It saddens me though to see the memorial page and to learn that not all of us continue on the journey.

Enough waxing poetic. I've lived in Anchorage, Alaska for the past 18 years and have developed strong feelings for the city and state. My wife and I live comfortably and enjoy our two surviving grown children Jamie, 31, and Jennifer 24. My daughter Angie passed away 6 year ago at the age of 31.

We enjoy working in our yard and my wife, JoEllen, is an avid quilter and loves home decorating projects. JoEllen is from Colorado but has lived in a number of different states. She is a former nurse who changed careers’ by getting an MBA and now is a VP with Wells Fargo Investments. She is a great person and a good friend.

I enjoy playing handball and officiating high school football and have worked in three high school state championship games and a number of semi and quarter final playoffs. I also try to get a little fishing in.

Currently I am an adjunct professor at Alaska Pacific University teaching accounting and finance courses and also run a consulting business which specializes in providing high level accounting/financial services to small and medium size businesses.

This past year I formed a company called Alaska Professional Sports, Inc. and have been trying to bring an Arena Football 2 team to Anchorage called the Alaska Wild. If I’m successful at this venture the Alaska Wild will be in the same division and play the Everett Hawks on a regular basis. That would be fun:)

We enjoy traveling. I’ve traveled to 40 different Alaska Villages and once ran into Bob Myers in Barrow, Alaska. I’ve also traveled to the Russian Far East on several occasions and taught courses or was a guest lecturer at a number of different Russian Universities. My wife and I have traveled to Europe spending time in England, Austria, Czech Republic, and Italy. Our favorite vacation spot is San Diego and we have been to Hawaii a number of times. I’ve just recently return from San Juan, Puerto Rico on business.

I visit my family in the Everett area at least once a year and enjoy going to lunch with Skip Gipson we always have a great time. If any one else would like to do lunch either while visiting Alaska or when I get back to Everett give me a call and we can set something up, my cell #907-360-9241.

Warmest Regards, David Weatherholt.

Reasons for attending reunion: Keep in touch with past friends.

 

Annette Kerber, 09/13/2006

We need to keep us all together until we can’t. We are the 75th class. Very special. I worked in the PC/Lan and Telecom group for 20 years at the Bank so I know what you are doing. You are awesome! I went all through school with some of our classmates. Garfield Elementary, North Junior, and Everett High School. It is so nice to see everyone. I do have a few friends at Cascade through TFC and old church Central Lutheran. See you soon.

Life is good. My husband and I have two beautiful daughters, the oldest of which got married this summer. Our youngest is a Junior at Western Washington University. My husband retired 7 years ago and attempts to be a house-husband while I continue to work at the same great company and for the same great guy for the past 36 years, but I'm going to be cutting back on work beginning next month, which I'm definitely looking forward to. My main source of Everett communication is with Susie Peterson Schmidt and Harold McNeil. I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone at the reunion next summer.

I now work at Northwest Hospital in North Seattle. I sing with SnoKing Community Chorale at Edmonds Community College and our new home will be at the new Edmonds Performing Arts Center in downtown Edmonds. I am blessed to have my Dad. He will be 88 in November. He remarried when my Mom died. He married Darlene Law. I have had Husky Football season tickets for 20 years and attend the games with my Dad. I very much look forward to seeing and talking with everyone at the reunion. Feel free to call me or email me. Reason for attending reunion: To see and converse with my old classmates - everyone.

For the last 10 summers, Margaret Gish, Sally Mitchell, Susan Radke, myself and Jennifer Johnston get together for a two-three night sleep over. We were wondering if anyone was going to plan for it. We all meet the second week in August, so if there is something we all could do together those days, let me know. I would love to help in the planning as well. Let me know.

What is the word on our 40-year (Gasp! Can you believe it?) Class Get-Together? I had been trying for over a year to get information, before finding this website. I went to South Junior and Everett High. I graduated with the class of '67, and you will find me in the '65 and '66 Nesika, but not the '67. I was going to join the Army before graduation, but changed my mind. It was too late to get my picture in the '67 Nesika.

Hello all. Good work on the web site, looks like a good layout and seems to cover all the essentials. Just want to say that everyone is doing a great job in getting this task underway and trying to make this reunion happen, I know it's a lot of work and takes extra time out of everyone's schedule. Sorry I couldn't make the meeting but I'm over on the east side in Spokane, it would have been good to see everyone. Vince

 

Mari Bliss Davis, 6/11/2006

It's been a few years . . . ! Let me know if there is anything I can do at this end. Do you have lists of classmates that have not been found? I'm looking forward to seeing everyone! Love, Bliss

 

Carlton (Skip) Gipson, 05/06/2006

Thanks for the email. I have had a busy week and have not had a chance until now to get back to you. I can't believe that it has been 40 years next year, but once I stop long enough to think about it WOW. I would love to attend a planning meeting, but Tuesdays are my Council meeting. Please keep me in the loop though and perhaps I can make the next one.

 

Noel Lloyd, 05/03/2006

Hi. Thanks for your efforts on behalf of the class of ’67.
