James A "Jim" White
Have I told you how wonderful and open our classmates are? My daughter and granddaughter are in NAPA this week to hear Tony Award Winner vocalist, Sutton Foster, perform. JOHN LESLIE WOLFE, do you know Sutton? Anyway, for emergencies, if our two travelers had one, I called LOUISE YBARRA CHRISTENSEN to inform her. Of course, without pressure and with no advance notice, Louise and Rick opened their house to Lyndee and Marybella ... and let Lyndee play their piano made in the 1800's. What wonderful, gracious, classmates we have. Thank you, Louise, and HAPPY 57th- ANNIVERSARY this week.
My daughter is a vocalist with the Seattle Opera (at present) so I wonder if our two vocalist classmates, JOHN LESLIE WOLFE or BRENDA RIDENER BRADLEY have any suggestions about my daughter, Lyndee White, new venture? www.lifeinpinkjazz.com
MARY MAULDIN GARCIA just lost her husband of over 50-years. They had just moved back to Las Vegas, NV from Yuma. I have met him a couple times and he was a really nice man. You have our deepest sympathy, Mary.
JIM NAPIER came to the County Line when JERRY ROBBINS was performing and we had a good visit. Sorry I cannot find a picture now. Thank you for coming to meet with us, Jim.
As for my California friend who we use to discuss our addict children, how is yours? My son is 7-years sober and doing great! I pray that yours is too.
COL. (USMC retired) BILL SLOAN and MARGIE will be celebrating their 50th anniversary in October, in Florida. Meanwhile, they have been all over the southern hemisphere from Chili to Austrailia. Are you back yet? Hey, Bill, I never gave you the contact information for the invitation. There is only a 5% chance we could make it. Our son is being promoted to Full-Bird Colonel (USAF) about that time but send it anyway to: JWhiteCLU@aol.com.
Talking about traveling, TERRY BOONE and JUDY just got back from Europe. They went all over the place, even Croatia. Welcome back, T-Bone.
So ELIZABETH GWARTNEY LOWNEY moves and leaves her BFF, JUDI ADAMS MORRIS, in Colorado and what does she get? Thirty-one straight days of 110+ degrees temperature. You should keep two homes, Elizabeth. Your heart and dogs would appreciate it. :-)
BOBBY ALLISON and ERNIE are doing pretty well. Not certain, but I think Bobby is in a home so he can have full-time assistance with his Parkinson's. Bobby's little service dog is very popular at the home. Also, some musicians came in and Bobby really had a good time. Remember, Bobby use to be an EPIC Records recording star and has some C.D.'s. He started performing in Colorado but has performed all over from New Orleans (where he met Ernistine and married her), to Nashville, TN to Deadwood, SD.
Please, everyone, let us know what you are doing. I will close with a couple pictures.

This toast is for you. And if you live anywhere between Seattle to Illinois (probably going I-90 route), let us know. We leave Washington September 5th. Plan to be at Scott AFB, near St. Louis, by September 20th.
