Happy Birthday, Laraine. We've got a big milestone this year.
Steve Demars and Steve Curtis were two guys everyone liked. I've thought about both Steves from time to time, now the last of this great pair have moved on but live in fondness in many memories.

I attended Garfield Elementary, Irving Jr. High, and Highland High with Kathy. She lived west of me several blocks, and we really didn't "play" together after school, but she was always a very sweet, kind person. I remember her being rather soft spoken and perhaps a little bashful. In reading her obit, she truly broke through that shell and accomplished many admirable fetes throughout her life. Things that "should" matter in this life, DID matter to Kathy, and I'm so happy she found that in her life. Rest happy, Kathy.
I as sorry to hear of Rick Pyper's passing. He was a good friend at Highland and a top notch guy. I'm sure his family will miss him a lot as they adjust to life without him. It seems like we are losing more classmates each year now, but thank heaven memories never die.
FYI- I just found Rick Pyper's obit in the Alabama paper, and I've posted here in the IN MEMORY area, and he's added to the In Memory slideshow. I saw this beautiful photo on his website page today and thought I'd share it. Leaving quite a legacy behind. RIP, our dear friend, Rick!
Offered on website from Douglas Webb:
It was sad to hear of David Bitner's passing, and not long after losing his wife Karen Officer last year. It seems that we are all getting older, but the memories of Highland High School and the friends we made never seem to fade. Condolences to his children and grandchildren as then now take the helm of the Bitner legacy.

I hope you're all enjoying the summer, but trying to stay cool! I just returned from a week at Flaming Gorge with the Draper reunion. We don't do this every year, because there are so many cousins, etc., scattered near & far, but it was certainly a fantastic time. Growing up, my family spent a lot of time at the Gorge, and it remains a favorite fishing, boating, floating, cliff jumping, water skiing, spot for us all. Just wanted to share one snapshot of our Draper gang, the shirt colors represent each siblings' family. Several were missing, but this is pretty close to the gang!! Love being together on trips like this!! (Oh, my gang's color is teal!)
I'm so naughty! Our summer get-together at Pat Holloway's clubhouse was a few weeks ago, but I've been away and haven't posted the photo's I gathered while there. It was so great just getting together, kicking back, talking about whatever, and catching up! Welcome back to Laurel Parker Rohlfing & husband from their LDS mission to Australia. Food was fantastic, I mean your typical USA summer picnic, right? Burgers, dogs, and the works! Thanks again to Pat, Joanne, and our buddy Dave Robinson that came early in the day to put the barbecue together! Thanks Dave! Hope to see you all In July or August at the upcoming events, and as Pat mentioned, Scott and Jeanne Bennion will be at the August 3rd, a special date, both at the Sandy Outback!!
Go Rams!!

Happy Birthday, Scott, you old man! I am older than you, however, and want to give you fair warning; the 70’s feel no different! It was all just a big rumor! Are you going to fully retire now? Enjoy the big life, my friend!! Xoxo

I’ve enjoyed Richard Gere as a movie star in several movies, not so much in others; and some I have never seen. But when I read this quote of his, I liked it so much, I wanted to share it with all of you. See if you agree!
I Hope you all have enjoyed remembering your loved ones this Memorial Day Weekend!

Last Friday's monthly "Outback" lunch was a lot of fun listening to forgotten memories & craziness! Not only that, but quite a few attended, included our freshly returned Aussie missionary, Laurel (Parker) Rohlfing. Never disappointing, a great get-away to take time an enjoy each month, or when ever you're able to come. Next month, our June get together will be a Pat (Butler) Holloway club house, Saturday, June 23. She will share details soon. Here are some pictorials of last Friday's tado! (attending were Laurel Rohlfing, Lynda Robinson, Joanne Levinson, Steve Fairbanks, Dave Robinson, Scott Donaldson, LeGrand Richardson, Ted Brinton, and Marsha Fryer)
