I really miss Doug and Ryan, became good friends after moving to Anaheim Hills. We coached Soccer and Baseball together, our kids car pooled together to school. Did fishing trips to Mammoth, motorcycle riding on the weekends. My youngest son named his 1st son Bodey Ryan. We miss them both, I think of them a lot..........

This year at our 50th reunion we took our St. Helen's picture.  It was nice having Mike Monteleone, Bernie Rechs, Larry Wurth, Duane Lucca, Elizabeth French, Sonia Flohr and myself in the picture.

It was missing you in the picture but not in our hearts.  We were all thinking of you.  Missed you buddy!
