Kamiakin Class of 1979

State Playoffs Round 1 a SUCCESS!

2011-11-14T07:03:00.000-08:00

We won the game Saturday against Seattle Prep! 28-14

Now, we play Kennewick again. We have the home field. We are undefeated and the only game they have lost this year is to us.

GO BRAVES!!

Kamiakin is 4-0!

2011-09-26T18:16:00.000-07:00

We beat Pasco, pretty badly for them. Last Friday was against Kennewick HS. They called it the game of the year before they even played! Kamiakin was ranked 5th in state and Kennewick 10th. The schools sold tickets during the day since they knew it was going to be nuts waiting in lines. The police dept. had a tailgate bbq that we attended also.

The game was a rough one for our braves. Lots of crazy calls from the ref's! I swear those ref's need to be retrained and learn the rules of the game. We've been saying this for years though. They come up with the stupidest calls and penalties. We scored a touchdown in the 2nd quarter, 7-0. 3rd quarter was still 7-0. 4th quarter was crazy! Lots of penalties, bad calls, etc. Kennewick made a touchdown and we blocked the extra point!! Score was 7-6 until 2 minutes left in the game. We made a 2nd touchdown and the final score was 14-6. What a wild game it was!! Those that missed it, missed a heck of a game. Those of us there, should have been carried out on stretchers!!

It's September 2011 Already!

2011-09-10T15:24:00.001-07:00

Hi All!

The Braves football team are making a run at the championship again!
They are 2-0 starting out the season well! We'll be at Pasco on Friday night to play the Bulldogs.

I really have missed the weekly games. I love to see friends and family there to cheer on our Mighty Braves! We try to sit on the 40-50yard line section, so if you're there look for us.

13-0 BRAVES ARE ON TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP!!

2010-12-01T20:38:00.000-08:00

The football team is going to Tacoma on Thursday to prepare for the State Championship game on Friday! WOOHOO!!!

GO BRAVES!!!!

BRAVES IN STATE PLAYOFFS!!

2010-11-14T07:21:00.001-08:00

For those of you that do not know, the Braves football team is 11-0 for the season and are heading to the state quaterfinals next weekend! We have homefield advantage and will be playing Mt. Spokane.

We beat Kelso yesterday, 50-6!

Coach Scott Biglin has really turned the team around in 2 years. He's doing a great job with the team. My son Andy plays for them and he's so excited since this is his senior year.

GO BRAVES!!!

WHAT A WEEKEND!!

2009-08-03T11:09:00.001-07:00

If you are a classmate and you missed this weekend, I'm so sorry!
It was amazing how many people showed up, especially on Friday night. We are thinking 150-200 people at Jackson's. It was so much fun.

I'm posting pictures on my Facebook page and will try to start putting some on here too. I took a lot of them though and it will take forever to load them all.
I hope these links will work for you. If not, let me know.

30 Year Reunion

30 Year Reunion Weekend

2009-08-02T07:52:00.001-07:00

What can I say about this weekend?

If you missed it, you missed history being made for our class. It was soooooooo much fun! I am still amazed at how many people were at Jackson's on Friday night. We're estimating 150-200. That place was hopping!

Saturday night was a hit also. The fun gambling was busy all evening. Thanks to the Lions Club for having such a fun activity! The DJ was playing music all night near the dance floor and even though the dancing didn't start until later, the music was wonderful to have playing in the background.

There was more food than we could eat in one night. The convention center did a good job on our event.

I've also realized that I have the best friends in the world! This past 2 months have been very hard for my family with Dad being so sick. For those that do not know, Dad lost his fight with emphyzema on Wednesday, July 29th. I've been very emotional this week and someone has always been there to step up and help with the reunion or give me a hug or even just listen to me.

My husband is the best guy in the whole world! We laugh together and we cry together. Friday night, he was always there to hand me a drink, due to the fact that we had so many people at Jackson's that I never even made it the bar myself! He was very patient with my talking and him being introduced to so many people that he'll never remember all the names. He does take good care of me! I love him so much! I'm a very lucky woman!

So, who's ready for the 35th?

The reunion begins on Friday, July 31st and runs through the weekend. You can pay via Paypal with you credit or debit card, or mail the payment to us. You could also pay us on Friday night, but we'd need to know that you are coming for sure by Wednesday.

I hope we'll see everyone there this weekend!
It's going to be fun.

Here We Go - Some Reunion Info.

2009-02-25T06:43:00.001-08:00

It's been 30 years since we attended that wonderful high school called Kamiakin. Some of us have great memories, some of us have not so great ones there. We can all say that we attended it at some point in time though. If we had not gone there, we would not have met some absolutely wonderful people to have as lifelong friends! Whether we have been in contact at not, lets make this the best reunion ever.

We are looking at 2 weekends right now. These ARE NOT set in stone yet, so don't make your reservations until we have it firmed up. July 17th-19th or August 1st-3rd, 2009. The July weekend is also the same weekend as the Annual KaHS Alumni Golf Tournament on the 17th. August 1st is after the hydroplane races, so that won't be a problem getting rooms.

We have also been told that a major convention has cancelled the July weekend in Kennewick making it better to get hotel rooms.
Friday night we'll be gathering at a local bar so people can eat and drink. We are looking into some place that has memories for us right now. It'll be a surprise until we wrap up the details.

Our plan is to have a wine bus tour on Saturday afternoon, a sit down dinner on Saturday night, with some form of entertainment afterwards. Sunday is open right now. We would like to know how many of you would like a picnic or we can just have a pot luck at a park.

We are hoping to have a memory book also. We did not do one last time, so how do you all feel about this? We would have it done via computer and put on flash drives. For those who want a paper copy, we would do that too.

I will be posting this in Classmates.com and also on the blog site. We do have a website set up, but not finalized yet, so stay tuned for that. Get the word out to anyone that does not have email or a computer. If you know parents, let them know to pass on the word.
Please post your ideas and thoughts somewhere or email us to tell us what you want. We hope to have the details done next week.

Jodi

Meeting Last Night Feb. 23rd

2009-02-24T06:56:00.000-08:00

More information to come later today/tonight.

I'll be sending out an email, posting here and posting on Facebook. If any of you are on Facebook, join our new group for our class. It will be fun to chat and catch up with everyone. Friend me there and I'll friend you back. I'm the Jodi Wheeler with the arrows in the deer target for my picture. I'm easy to spot.

Stayed tuned for more info!

Reunion Info

2009-02-20T06:07:00.000-08:00

A lot of you have been asking about the reunion. No date has been confirmed yet. We are looking at either a weekend in July or August. We are calling around to places and caterer's to see what's open.

We've had a difficult time having meetings. There have been a lot of situations come up with the committee members since November. Hang in there and when we get everything etched in stone we'll let you all know.

If anyone can help out, we'd really appreciate it. It seems that we're all having a lot of unforeseen things come up this year. If we can pull together, I'm sure we can make this a great reunion!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU!

2008-12-20T11:22:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to take this time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

For some of us it's been a wonderful 2008. For others of us it's been a very difficult year. I hope that we can all focus on the happiness and good times to help us get over the rough spots.

The summer of 2009 will be our 30 year reunion. It does not seem like it's been so long, until I get a message or email from a classmate that I have not heard from in many years. I enjoy catching up with you all and hope that more of you will come out of the cracks, so to speak. If any of you are on Facebook, you can friend me, Jodi Wheeler. If you are on MySpace, I'm Wild Crocheter. Just let me know who you are when you send your request.

Here's to a great reunion and 2009!

No Meeting

2008-11-20T18:07:00.000-08:00

It's been decided to postpone a follow-up meeting for November.
We'll see what December brings. We may be able to make our phone calls and get something wrapped up without a meeting.

Isn't the internet a wonderful thing? We can email and not even talk to each other to get 'er done!

We would still like to hear from you, Classmates, about what you'd like to have at the reunion. Throw me some ideas and we'll see what we come up with. It doesn't take very long to write an email and you can do it on your own time. I will see it and bring it up to the committee. We want to hear from you if we have not yet.

November 12th Meeting

2008-11-13T07:07:00.000-08:00

Well, our meeting was kind of slim on members last night. Unfortunately, several folks were out of town on business trips and a couple had last minute emergencies which are things that can't be helped. Kathy and I had a good time catching up. We will need to have a meeting sometime this month.

Let me know what works so we can get it on the calendar.

Mr. Fleming

2008-11-09T08:08:00.000-08:00

I went to some bazaars yesterday and ran into Mr. Fleming, the former ceramics teacher from our days there. It was so fun to catch up with him. He's retired now, but working as a sub and teaching pottery and ceramics lessons in his home. If you are interested in lessons let me know. I have his business card and can pass on the into. to you. You might have a kid that is interested.

I've also heard from Mr. Keene and Mr. Sauer recently. They are doing good. As most of you know, this is the part of our reunions that I enjoy the most, catching up with former classmates, teachers and making new friends. I love to hear what everyone is doing now and where you're living. So get in contact with me and we can catch up!

Next Meeting is.....

2008-10-15T19:05:00.000-07:00

at Brutzman's store on November 12th, @ 7:00pm.

Let me know if you need directions.

I sent out an email to the classmates that I have emails for. I've also posted on Classmates.com. If you're already registered on there, you received an email announcing the reunion.

If you know of any classmates that are not on my email listing or on classmates.com, please let them know to get a hold of us so we can include them in all the plans.

We're just in the planning stages, so if you have any thoughts or ideas, tell us. We won't know what you all want to do if you don't let us know.

Our 1st Meeting, October 8th

2008-09-23T21:15:00.000-07:00

We've set a date for the 1st Reunion Meeting on October 8th at 7:00pm. It will be at the McDonald's meeting room off of Clearwater Ave, Kennewick.

Meetings will be on the 2nd Wednesday of every month.

If you have any ideas or contact information for missing classmates, either contact me or another committee member with the information. After the 1st meeting we'll have a better idea of the committee members for our 30th Reunion. I'll probably send out an email with contact information to those on my master list.

We hope to see you local classmates there!

30 Year Reunion in 2009

2008-07-08T22:15:00.001-07:00

Next year is our 30 year reunion. I know, it just doesn't seem possible already.

A date has not been set yet, but we are talking about some possible dates. If anyone has some input on the reunion, please don't hesitate to speak up or write one of us. You can even post a comment on here.

Class of 1978 Reunion Invites Us Too...

2008-06-16T07:21:00.000-07:00

Since many of us were friends with classmates from the class of 1978, they would like us to join them at their reunion this summer. It sounds like fun to me!

Hello Everyone,

Unfortunately we have not heard from many of you and are still trying to locate a lot of classmates. It is not too late, but we really need your registration forms and or info/pictures turned in now. (Some of you have sent in just the registration form, please get the rest in soon so we can include and keep working on.)

If you know you can not make it, please send me a reply back telling me that and I will update our RSVP list. (you may still get reminder emails unless you ask me to remove you from dist list)

I have attached the registration form for those that may need it. Also we would like to extend an invitation to other classes "77" or "79" or "??" to our Saturday night event at Anthony's - if you know someone that may be interested in joining in with our group, please forward the registration form and have them write in their name and class then forward with $$ ....etc. Love to have them.
Note: The Friday Wine Tour has 21 confirmed folks, leaving 26 spots left (see list below). Sign up now as we would like to fill the bus.

It cooled right back down again. I don't think it's been over 70 all week. We've had some rain and lots of wind (as usual). Normally, it's very hot for graduation and it wasn't this year. I'm sure a lot of you are thankful that you didn't have to sweat to death during those ceremonies and parties.

Well, my brother is doing better. He is scheduled for a biopsy on one of the 2 spots in his brain on Thursday. Please keep him in your thoughts for a good report.

I've only heard from 3 or 4 of you about contact information or reunion stuff. Where is everyone? I know that we are all having a hard time thinking about our 30 year reunion and where did the time go, but we need to get your input.

What do you all want to do this time?

Who can help out? Let me know if you can help locate people or make arrangements.

Do we want a memory book or something like that?

Let us know what you are good at. We will need help during the next year. Even if you are not local, we can get you contact information and you can do some emails or phone calls.

Let's make this the best reunion ever!

Heatwave!

2008-05-17T07:36:00.000-07:00

Ok, is it this hot where you are?

It got up to 93 yesterday and today it's supposed to get up to 100!

The Yakima River is expected to flood by Wednesday and everyone is gritting their teeth, waiting for that one.

So, what's the temperature where you are?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Reunion Thinking...

2008-05-09T07:40:00.000-07:00

I know that some of you are starting to think about the reunion next year.
We will need ideas, help and meetings to get going.
I'll try to send you an email to the classmates to start the ball rolling.

Where do we want to have it?
What kind of dinner do we want to have?
Golf, picnic, get to know you night?

Tell us what you want to do or if you can help out.

Email me through the site here Jodi or leave a comment.

My Latest KaHS Item

2008-04-29T19:07:00.000-07:00

This is about 1/2 done. It will be an afghan for the booster club to sell this fall when I get done. Don't stare at it too long though! haha

What's New?

2008-04-22T18:14:00.000-07:00

It's April and the weatherman is predicting snow tonight! What's with that? Do any of you remember having snow at the end of April? If you do, you've got a better memory than me. I remember having a little snow on April 1st one year. I only remember it because it was April Fool's Day. I don't remember the year though.

If anyone has moved or changed email addresses, please start getting those to me so we can keep you informed about the reunion next year. Yes, it's the big
3-0 coming up in 2009. I've had a couple people check in with me on Classmates.com this past week.

I've had a rough week. My brother (Kamiakin Class of 1973) was flown to Sacred Heart in Spokane last week. He had bleeding in the brain. They are still unsure of what caused it, but he is doing better. He was moved out of ICU on Monday and will have to go to a rehab. center soon for work with his left side and to get his strength back.

Start getting into reunion mode and get those updates! We need all the help we can get to locate everyone.

Who Misses the Tri-Cities?

2008-01-28T07:36:00.001-08:00

This was yesterday, Sunday January 27th. We got 7-8 inches of snow. It came down all day long! It's been a while since we've gotten this much in one day. Yes, that's my new car above. My Montero (below) died a couple of months ago. I bought a Toyota Camry. The Montero will sit for a while until it warms up and we can have someone work on it. Any mechanics out there? It has a blown head gasket for sure, maybe more. The body is in great shape and I hate to get rid of it, but it may need a new/rebuilt motor.
It's a snow day here for the school district. I work for Head Start and the boss called me last night and said we're closed too. A 3 day weekend for me!

Yes, We Lost

2007-11-24T09:42:00.000-08:00

Well, I haven't had a lot of spare time to post anything lately.

We did lose the game against Southridge. It was not a good game at all.
Southridge and Kennewick went on to the next round and both lost. So, there will be no Kennewick schools in the finals. It really would have been a good game to see 2 of them in the finals, I think.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving this week! Ours was nice.

I've been very busy trying to keep up with my crochet orders. It's a very hectic time right now, but I love it!

Only 1 1/2 years until the next reunion, Folks! Are you all thinking about what you'd like to do? Well, put on your thinking caps and let the committee know what sounds good. You can always email me directly here with your ideas. Then I can store them up for our 1st meeting sometime next year.

Still Winning!

2007-11-03T19:06:00.000-07:00

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been super busy with my crocheting and working 40 hours a week is almost doing me in. It's been a long time since I've done that. I seem to have a whole lot more going on now than I did a couple of years ago.

All of the Braves football teams were undefeated in regular season. The varsity team is in the playoffs. We are the #1 seed! WooHoo!

We played Hanford today and won 45-10. We will play Southridge next Saturday. It was a pretty warm day for the game, over 60 degrees and a light breeze was blowing.

If you want to see how any of the other teams are doing you can go to the Tri-City Herald website here: Sports

If any of you would like to post a comment, please do. I love to hear from everyone!

Have a great week!

Kamiakin 16, Walla Walla 14 WHEW! That was..

2007-10-16T19:56:00.000-07:00

a tough game for the players and us folks in the stands! It was a wild game.

We did win, but it was a nail biter! You might have to get the lowdown from the Tri-City Herald. There was a lot to report.
I think there was an ankle injury, a torn MCL and a broken collarbone on 3 of our players.

This week is West Valley in Yakima.

They Came, They Scored, WE WON!

2007-10-09T20:00:00.000-07:00

Well, the Kennewick game was interesting to say the least. Our regular quarterback is out from a broken ankle from the game before. The ref's were really one-sided (to Kennewick that is). It was unbelievable what some of the calls were.

Anyway, the score was KaHS 37, KeHS 18 and we won. We are still ranked #2 in the state! Isn't that exciting? I think it is since my boys go there too.

The Freshman played on Thursday night and won 49-12.
49 seems to be their number. I think that's 3 games in a row now with 49.

The booster club is selling my crochet stuff and it's really fun to see people in the stands wearing it.

Homecoming is this weekend. The freshman play Walla Walla Thursday night and the varsity plays Friday night. This is the last home game, until the playoffs start. There are 2 more away games left. I wish I had some input from someone on the JV games. They play on Mondays and I don't hear how they do each week. I think they are undefeated also, but I don't know for sure.

I hear that the volleyball team is doing well too. I'll see if I can find out some better info. and let you all know. Although, our resident sports editor probably knows all those stats off the top of his head. (Right, Cous?)

You all have a wonderful week and I'll write when I can!

KaHS 35, Sunnyside 0

2007-10-03T20:28:00.000-07:00

Another shutout for the varsity team! WooHoo!!
What a year we're having.
The freshman also won their game, 49-12.

The big game is this Friday against Kennewick. They could be a tough one, we'll see.

I'll let you all know how it goes.

Is there anything else you all might be interested in hearing about with the school? If so, just let me know and I'll see what I can do. I've been pretty busy, but could post scores for other sports possibly.

4 IN A ROW

2007-09-26T18:37:00.000-07:00

Kamiakin played Southridge last week. For those of you that are out of the loop, Southridge is the newest high school in Kennewick, a rival of ours now.

The score at the half was 7-0, KaHS was ahead. They played us really tough and almost scored until we made an interception right before the half. That was on the goal line! The game ended with KaHS 21, SHS 0!

4 shutouts in a row now! How cool is that?

The freshman also had a shutout of 49-0.

We play Sunnyside this week and Thursday we are heading there to watch Andy play in the freshman game. The varsity plays on Friday night.

Yep....... ANOTHER SHUTOUT 38-0

2007-09-16T09:08:00.000-07:00

We played Hanford yesterday and it was 38-0.
3 games, 3 shutouts

Now what team will score on us first is the question?

The freshman also won 40-0.

It was a good day for our football teams!

Stay tuned, we play Southridge this week.

Kamiakin Open House or a Small Reunion?

2007-09-10T21:16:00.000-07:00

It was open house night for Kamiakin. It really could have been a reunion night. I saw several of our classmates that have kids going there now. We really didn't have much time to chat, but it was fun to see you all!

Maybe, all us locals should plan an afternoon or evening to just meet up somewhere to catch up?? What do ya think?

Football - Week #2

2007-09-07T23:13:00.001-07:00

Well, the freshman played on Thursday night at the Pasco stadium.
The score was Kamiakin 32, Pasco 19! WooHoo!!

The varsity played tonight (Friday). Tyke talked me into going to the game since Mike went elk and deer hunting this morning for a few days. Once again, the game was in Pasco. The final score was Kamiakin 24, Pasco - A BIG FAT ZERO!!

Yes, that means that we have 2 wins, 2 shutouts! Isn't that great?

Football Season Has Begun!

2007-09-01T15:12:00.000-07:00

We played Richland last night.

AND WON!! 34-0

The Rooks played Richland today.

AND WON!! 52-22

The JV is playing this afternoon and we don't know how they are doing yet.

Only 2 More Years Until Our 30 Year Reunion!

2007-08-20T06:52:00.000-07:00

A sample of my items that the Booster Club will be selling at the games.

Hi, Everyone!

I just had to throw this out there. It's 2 years until the next reunion. I know it sounds like a long way off, but it's not. If everyone can keep their ears open for missing classmates, it will help the committee a lot. If you have moved or know of someone that has moved since 2004, send me the information or let them know how to contact us.

I also want to let you know that I've been working on some crochet items for the booster club to sell. All 'G' rated, so don't worry about that. Some scarves, hats, huggies, scrunchies, etc. They'll be selling at all the home football games and probably the basketball games.

Let me know if you or your Kamiakin kids would like anything and I can help you out. I can also make up any school colors you might want. Christmas is coming and we need to think about it now.

Happy Monday and have a great week!

More Pictures of Linda

2007-07-04T08:45:00.000-07:00

If you click on the pictures, they will enlarge for you.

This was Linda's "I'm going to kick your butt if you don't knock it off" look. I got this one more than once too. 1987 Linda's high school senior yearbook photo.
Do you remember the biker assembly? Kamiakin staff still does it every 4 years during football season. 1999

Kamiakin’s history was always very important to Linda. The totem pole is an important part of that history and a cause she was willing to fight for in past years and again during Kamiakin’s remodel. While the totem pole was eventually moved from its original placement as part of the remodel, it was restored and is still a source of pride at Kamiakin. The original totem pole is in its new location, the amphitheater, to the left of the library. The spirit rock has also been moved to the amphitheater and is currently painted in tribute to Linda. Since its completion this area has become a popular social gathering place for Kamiakin students.This was taken the day before Linda's memorial service. After the service the totem pole and spirit rock were surrounded with flowers from alumni and staff in her remembrance. I wish I had had my camera with me to take a picture of it then.

PS - I've heard rumors through the grapevine of a few misconceptions I'd like to clear up for you. One was that Linda died all alone. Not true. While she had no remaining relatives she was surrounded by dear friends who had loved her deeply over many years. The other rumor was that Linda was an atheist. Also, not true. Linda was very private about her relationship with "the big guy", but she has always read her bible regularly. She underlined, highlighted, wrote comments in it, and dog-eared pages containing verses she liked to reread.

Pictures from Linda's Service

2007-07-02T21:46:00.001-07:00

I will be posting a few more pictures tomorrow.

Linda with her mom and dad. I think she's about 4 or 5 years old. linda 79-1

This hairdo must have been inspired by Borsheim or was it Kristi (see 1 photo up)? Singing at Baccalaureate

Linda at Class of '79 10 yr. reunion. Pub, Aug. 1989How many of you remember Linda's "You Big Dork! You can't be for real!" look? I know I got it more than once.

Linda is on the left. While this is before I was at Kamiakin, I can tell Linda is laughing her booty off and I wish I could have seen this skit.

Linda's Service has been changed!

2007-06-28T19:22:00.000-07:00

I need help again. I sure do appreciate all you helping me get the word out. See if you can get this out to as many people as possible a.s.a.p.
Thanks a ton!
Robin
There is going to be a change for Linda's memorial service due to a large volume of responses to the message board that Einen's set up. They are concerned that Einen's will not be large enough for the service so it will me moved to Kamiakin's Auditorium (used to be "the lecture hall") at 2:30 on Saturday.(This is the correct time. The article in Friday's paper was wrong.)

The half hour time delay is so to allow for folks who may not get the news of the change. If they show up at Einen's, they will be directed to Kamiakin and will have half hour to get there.
Sara Schilling will be running an article in the Herald tomorrow concerning the change as well.

Linda Slick Passed Away on June 24th

2007-06-27T07:05:00.000-07:00

I received this from Robin. Some of you have received this via e-mail already. For those of you who did not, here it is:

Linda passed away last evening (Sunday) about 11:00 p.m. A memorial service is being arranged. Hoping it will be this Sat at Kamiakin.Thanks for all of the prayers and letters. It meant so much to Linda and she remembered everyone. It was truly amazing. Even if she was confused about things going on around her because of meds, pain or the illness itself, when I'd ask her if she remembered Debbie Wyckoff or Phyllis Pierce, etc. she'd say "oh yeah, she....." and she'd give some detail about that person so that I knew she really did know who the person was. Kamiakin students were most important to her and she had a passion for what she did.
Robin

We Will Miss You, Marla

2007-06-18T20:58:00.000-07:00

I have some more sad news to share with you.

We've lost another former classmate. Marla (Shaffer) Eddrief passed away on June 1st. Many of you may not know her. She went to Hawthorne Elementary, Highlands and moved back to Richland for high school. Marla was not a close friend of mine, but I do remember some fun times that we had in middle school. The last time I saw her was in 2004, after our class reunion. She was a close friend of Bethe Kirby's.

For those of you that are here in the Tri-Cities, you may have seen her obituary in the paper this weekend. For those of you out of the area, here it is:

Marla Jan (Shaffer) Eddrief

MARLA JAN (SHAFFER) EDDRIEF-->June 6, 1961-June 1, 2007
'Some people come into our lives and quickly go, Others stay in our hearts and we are never the same.'It is with great sorrow that parents of Marla (Shaffer) Eddrief announce her sudden passing on June 1, 2007. Marla was such a joy to her family that no words can express the deep void that is left in our lives.Marla was born in Richland, Washington, and completed high school there; her baccalaureate degree at Washington State University; and her Master's in Social Work from Western Washington University. Her last employment was for the State of Washington.Marla met the love of her life, Edward Eddrief in July 2005 and the were married February 4, 2006. When Edward's job required a move to Montreal, Canada, Marla gave up her family-filled life and took on the challenge of a new country; quickly developing many new friends. Marla and her stepson, Jason took on the task of learning French. Jewelry making became a passion and her jewelry was featured on a Web site.Marla was an ardent bicyclist and triathlon competitor; always vigilant regarding fitness and health. Her zest for life was contagious. Friends knew her to be generous, compassionate, a skillful listener and never judgmental.Besides Edward and Jason, family includes her mother, Chris; stepfather, Terry Rogerson; father, Bill Shaffer, stepmother, Jeanine, brother and sister-in-law, Bill Shaffer and Vicki Gravenslund; sister and brother-in-law, Connie and Bruce Isley; nephews, Neil, Steven, Michael and Joseph; many aunts and uncles; numerous cousins; seven grand nieces and nephews who lovingly called her 'La-La.'Memorial services for Marla will be at Calvary Chapel, Fourth and Vancouver on June 23 at 1:00 p.m. Reception to follow
Published in the Tri-City Herald from 6/16/2007 - 6/17/2007.

A Letter From Linda Slick

2007-06-17T11:51:00.000-07:00

I had posted a message on Classmates.com about Linda. Today I see that someone else saw something on myspace and posted it there. It is a letter from Linda to everyone. Please read it.

http://www.classmates.com/
from here go into Kamiakin then Message Board.
It's listed as Ms. Slick. I would post the link, but it's very long and I can't seem to copy and paste the letter on here. There must me a block on classmates.com stopping me from doing that.

Jodi

From Robin

2007-06-02T09:22:00.000-07:00

This probably goes without saying but I know how busy our lives get and understand how sometimes good intentions get buried in the hustle of living so just wanted to say............If you're touched to write to Linda (or visit), do it today, or as soon as possible. She may outlive doctor's predictions of 2-3 weeks or she may not have quite that long but she would appreciate your support, remembrances, prayers, thank you's, etc. now while she is still able to read them herself and process her impact on the lives of old students and friends. I visited her yesterday and she does remember so many of you with love and loyalty.
Robin

Linda Slick

2007-06-01T17:15:00.000-07:00

For those of you classmates that are not on my email list, I was emailed by someone last night, that Ms. Linda Slick is not doing well. It's very serious.

I did not have her for a teacher or know her personally, but I know that many of you did and care about her.

If you would like to send a card or call her, please feel free to
contact me for her information.

Please let me know if I've spelled a name wrong or anything like that as well. I'm trying to go on memory for most of this. I suppose the easy way would be to get out the year books and do this. But then I might be tempted to post some of those pictures too!

Adding Names to Reunion Pictures

2007-03-08T06:07:00.000-08:00

I've been asked by someone to add names to the reunion pictures I've posted. It will take me some time to do this, but it can be done. I just want to ask you for your help with this. I may not recognize everyone, so if I'm missing a name please let me know who it is and I'll update it.

I'll start by putting numbers by the pictures so we can identify them easier. You can either email me or post a comment under the post and I'll be sent an email of your comment.

Only 2 more years until 2009! WooHoo!!!
(Stop moaning and groaning reunion committee.)

Thanks for the help, Classmates!

Been Busy Lately

2007-01-21T18:55:00.000-08:00

I know I need to post something on here soon. Hopefully, this week I'll get back into the swing of things. Christmas is over and archery has kept me busy lately. I've got another 2 weeks before our next archery thing comes up, so I'll try to get some old pictures posted.

Hope you're are having a wonderful 2007 so far!

Write me or send me pictures if you want to share anything.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, CLASSMATES!

2006-12-23T06:08:00.000-08:00

I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
It's almost 2007. It just doesn't seem possible that time has passed so quickly.
I hope you all have a holiday season filled with joy, love and happiness!

Back to Work

2006-12-09T08:48:00.000-08:00

I am starting a new job on Monday. It's only 30 hours a week, so I'll still have plenty of time to do all those other things I like to do. I just won't be on here during the day. I am excited to start it and get that new feeling over with though.

We're getting rain today and they say it may turn into freezing rain in areas. Yuck! I think I'll stay home for a while and maybe it'll all go away.

I'll see if I can dig up some more photos to post later, too.

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Most Memorable Winter Memories

2006-12-01T08:07:00.000-08:00

Okay, this is crazy! The temp has gone from a wopping 12 to 14 at 8am! I doubt it'll make it to 33.
It's too cold here.

So what was your most memorable winter here in the Tri-Cities growing up?
You should be able to post in comments. If not, just email to me and I'll forward it to all. I'll post mine this weekend as I've got to get things organized for my craft show tomorrow.

Have a fun weekend Friends!

Baby, It's Cold Outside!

2006-11-29T11:52:00.000-08:00

For those of you that do not know yet, we lost on Saturday. It was a very sunny, and cold day. Kennedy from Burien won the game, 13-28. We had 3 boys with leg injuries, 1 quite badly, according to the paper. They have nothing to feel bad about though, they made a long way in the playoffs. The team should feel really good about what they did accomplish this season.

It was sunny on Saturday and on Sunday we got almost 2 inches of snow! It is a little bit early for here, but maybe that means that Spring will get here sooner! Hey, I'm trying to stay positive here, since I'm not a cold weather person. It's 18 degrees right now and lightly snowing. Does anyone miss the place now???

I had a job interview this morning and I'm hoping to get this one, soooooooo badly! Friends, please keep a good thought for me.

Happy Thanksgiving!

2006-11-24T09:32:00.000-08:00

I hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving Day weekend!
We spent the day at my folk's house with family. It was a very nice day.

Tomorrow is the big game and apparently, Mike, the defensive player, will not be able to play. I'm sure he's disappointed, but the doctor's do know best.
We'll be there cheering them on again.

For those of you in the Tri-Cities area, I'm going to be selling my crochet stuff at Eastgate School on Dec. 2nd. They are having a craft show that day. Come on over and check it out. Christmas is right around the corner!

Football Game

2006-11-21T07:56:00.000-08:00

Saturday @ 10:00am, Kamiakin is playing Kennedy @ Lampson Stadium in the quarterfinals. At least it'll be warmer during the day than at night.

The guy that was hurt is expected to play also, per my son who has a class with his brother.

Just one more game and they'll be off to Tacoma!

Final 4!!

2006-11-19T08:20:00.000-08:00

We won again last night, 16-0! Another shutout.
I think the next game is with Kennedy. I haven't checked my paper yet to get the details, but will let you all know.

There was some bad news too. One of our best defensive players was injured and taken to the hospital with a concussion. I'm friends with the family, so I'll have more to report on him also.

I just had to let you know we're still in the playoffs!

The girl's soccer team came in 4th in state yesterday also! Congratulations to them for a great season!

And for all of you Huskie fans out there.........

it was a close Apple Cup and from a Cougar fan, "There's always next year!"
My oldest son got to go to the game with one of our archery buddies. He's a Huskie fan and the family he rode with are all Cougar fans. He did say he had to stay calm since there were only 5 other Huskie fans seated near them. They did give him a ride home, so he must have done okay! (Yes, I posted this in Cougar colors on purpose!)

It's 34 degrees here and yesterday we had fog off and on all morning.

Today is the last NASCAR race also. I'm going to have withdrawals until February when they start up again. How about you all? Any racing fans out there?

Hope you all have a wonderful Turkey Day and can spend it with family and friends!

You know, Christmas is coming so check out my on-line blog and store for some ideas. Let me know if you need anything or want something that you don't see. I take special orders all the time.

WE WON AGAIN!

2006-11-14T09:43:00.000-08:00

We beat Lakes from Tacoma, 14-0!

Now we play Mount Si on Saturday. We're down to 8 teams left.

The Braves are Hot, Hot, Hot this year!

WE WON!!!

2006-11-05T11:44:00.000-08:00

Well, Kamiakin beat Kennewick 20-14!

Just barely, in OT and by the skin of their teeth. I didn't get to go, since Andy has been sick and I stayed home with him. Mike and Tyke went and sat on the 45 yard line. They had great seats apparently.

The game was full of controversy and no score until the 2nd half. It was kind of an ugly game.

Next Saturday we play Lakes at Lampson Stadium. We beat them before, but they are the supposed to be the ones to beat in our division. Besides us, of course.

Stay tuned.

Any alumni with kids in the marching band?
current dance team - remember the squaw outfits that Debbie (Wyckoff, Linda (Green) & Renee (Luppino) wore? They were a dark burgandy suede with a gold blouse underneath. How times have changed.

Kamiakin will play Kennewick for a regional spot this Saturday. The game is being played here at Lampson Stadium, so we're planning on going.

Keep a winning thought for them!!

Kamiakin played Eastmont from East Wenatchee last night.
We won (of course) 48-0.

Kamiakin was giving the KONA Trophy for winning the division.
My understanding is that Kennewick, East Valley and Southridge
have to have a playoff for 2nd and 3rd, I think. But I'll check the
paper and make sure. I may have to correct this post later.

The senior players and band members were all recognized last night
also, since this was the last home game.

The senior class is having a craft bazaar at Kamiakin today. I was going to sign up for it, but have too much going on today. My nephews boys are in the grid kids playoff game today and then they are spending the weekend with us. If they win, they'll be in the "Superbowl" on Wednesday night at Lampson Stadium. They are getting excited about it. Their team is undefeated this year.

If any of you want to post something, just email me and I'll put it in here, or you can click on the comments below each post and type it in there.

I'm going to attempt to put a chat box on here as well. Then if anyone wants to talk with someone, you can put it out there and see if we can get something going. It could be fun to reconnect. We have one on a crochet forum I'm in and about once a week we get on it and chat. What do you all think about that?

Send me those posts and pictures for all to see!

Have a great weekend!!

Remember the biker assembly ...... well they still do it once every 4 years Easley leaves his team to check out the hot chick....... some things never change!
Rex Easley and Phil Jones
yes, Maher still wears his Darth Vader helmet...... that's Katrina Kutschkau (math teacher and Kamiakin alum known then as Katrina Hovde) in his lap
As I recall, Linda Slick rode in on a motorcycle as did Randy Dolvin. Is that right?
oh man, this is scary
Thanks to Robin Duncan for providing these photos!

Do any of these coaches look familiar? Mr. Keith Duncan is in the background. Here's the team running onto the field after they broke the banner.

Here's the proof! Kamiakin is #1 in the division after beating West Valley! Isn't that cool?
Here are the team captains getting ready for the coin toss.

I'm sorry the pictures are a little dark. I don't have a good software to fix them right now (Mr. Borsheim, this comment is to you. hint hint)

Kamiakin 24 Kennewick 7

2006-10-08T11:33:00.000-07:00

WooHoo!!

We beat them! The past 2 years they beat us, but we got those lions this time!
The bleachers were packed on both sides.

And wouldn't you know, I forgot the camera!

The next game is in Walla Walla so we won'g be going to that one. I'll post the score though so you will know how it went.

Have a great week, Classmates!

Kamiakin 62 Sunnyside 0

2006-09-30T07:55:00.000-07:00

Yep, you read it right!
The game last night was a bit one sided. Sunnyside is now in our league also.

The place was packed due to it being Homecoming and they had to crown the king and queen last night. I thought (back in the day) that we crowned everyone at the assembly at school. Does anyone remember how it all used to be done? I know some of you were on the court at one time or another.

Next week they play Kennewick. That should be a crazy place. We'll have to get there early so we can get a parking spot.

It is fun going to the games, since I get to run into a lot of alumni that I wouldn't ordinarily see.

Until next week. Maybe I'll take my camera and get you all some pictures too. If I can remember anyway.

Well, since I hadn't posted anything here in a while, I thought that I'd tell you all that we went to the football game tonight and we WON!!!

Kamiakin is having a good year so far in football. They've beat Pasco and Hanford. They're only loss so far is to Richland. For those of you that don't know, they changed around the schools and put them in different divisions than they were when we went there. Pasco and Richland are in a different division than the Kennewick schools now. It's kind of strange.

Kamiakin is 3-1 for the season and 2-0 in their division. I'll try to keep you posted.

111 Degrees!!

2006-07-23T17:50:00.000-07:00

It hit 111 here in the Tri-Cities today.
How hot is it where you are?

Summer Vacations

So what is everyone doing this summer for vacations?

You should be able to post in comments, if you choose to.

We aren't doing anything this summer, unless I get back to work soon. I'm just trying to keep up with my 2 teenagers.
