Anybody know were Mike Fricke is these days ?

Such a shame.     It seems just recently I saw a nice photo of Bev and her lovely family.    I have some great memories of Bev when we shared classes or at other events.    Wish I had the chance to know her better as an adult over all these years.   I was looking forward to seeing her at another reunion.    She will be missed greatly.   My condolences and sympathies to her family.    Regards to all,   Gary L

Hi y’all, We’re trying to juggle and plan for two 50th reunions. Judy(wife) and I are the same age. Her’s is in mid Sept. Is there a proposed date for our 50th. Of course I realize neither may happen at all due to covid but we’re hoping to somehow make both. Judy’s will be in Indianapolis so, its going to be a cross country scramble. Please let me know. Thx. Hope everyone are doing ok and getting through this mess were in. Take care, stay safe and healthy. Later, Gary L

Hey Mike. Been a while again. Hope all is well with you and yours. We’re both retired now, traveling, working on house, playing lots of music and enjoying grandkid(s). Generally loafing and goofing off. What have you been up to ? Take care, Later, Gary Landsberg

Hey Y'all, As is true, I imagine with many, I only see these posts when things pop up in my e-mail (Thx Rita). Tends to be about once a year. So, I'll update a bit: Hope everyone are all well these days. Happy Bday to all, those things just keep coming. Condolences and Sympathies to those we have lost, another unstoppable fact of life.
For me; been married now officially for 40 years. We celebrated by taking a 5+ week East Coast trip, from Quebec to Miami. It turned out to be quite the Rock and Roll history trip; visited Woodstock and Bethel (the actual site), NY. Very cool, all the tourists are of our generation. Took in an exhibit of original, famous, instruments at the MET in NYC. Beatles gear, SRV's Strat, and Garcia's "Tiger" and "Wolf" (some of you will get that), Allman Bros museum in Macon,GA and Jazz history in NOLA. Played a gig in Athen, GA with some old friends (see photos). I play Bass primarily but will still sit down at the traps if someone wants. Otherwise, visited friends and family in various places and ate, great food over there, our way down the East Coast.
Kids are both doing well and both are working on more grandkids. Felix is doing great and transitioning from toddler to little boy. Judy has been doing a lot with her art works, painting, and selling, a lot of houses (she likes to paint people's houses) and has some of her post cards at two local shops. Otherwise, we try to travel whenever we can, near or far, drive or fly. And, of course, I still watch a lot of soccer and football. Hope to see some of you at the 50th. Stay well and watch out for those birthdays. Later, Gary L.

I’m not in here very often so, I guess I’ll try to add a little more Bill is also recently retired, Greg and Stu are getting close. As mentioned, I retired from the firm in 2015, still take the occasional PI gig, just for fun and to keep my hands in a bit. Otherwise, we travel, play music house and yard stuff and , of course the Hot Tub and Hammock. I became a BIG soccer fan when daughter #2 turned out to be quite the striker. Traveled to a lot of tournaments and had a great time till she blee both ACL’s. It was fun while it lasted. Now just big fans. That should do for now. I’ll add a few more photos

Show All…

Hey Nancy, Do I remember correctly, the last time I saw you was at Lewis and Clark University. Greg, Bill and I stopped by your dorm, I dont recall how we knew you were there. Anyway, I’m a retired Investigator, was with a law firm for 35 years. Been retired since 2015. Married 40 years, two daughters, both married, one grandson -2, so far, all here in Portland and doing well. Still play music, bass player now. Still close with Bill Stiles, Greg Roberts and Stu Flint. Mike Straw is out in Eastern OR. We see each other now and then. Hope all is well with you and yours. Regards, Gary L

Hey Ya'll, Just thought I'd drop a note in here since I won't likely make it to the 45th reunion. All is well up here in the Great Northwest, Portland, OR. Since the last reunion I made it to was the 40th (I think), our daughter Nicole, the younger one, got married in July of 2013. The wedding was in Playa Del Carmen, Mx. A great time was had by all. Now she is expecting our first Grandkid ( that still sounds amazing). Our older daughter, Briana, is getting married in Aug, in Jamaica. She is marrying the guy she walked down the aisle with at Nicole's wedding so both my sons in law are not only best friends but both are from the small eastern Oregon town of Baker City. I find it entertaining that all four of them, daughters and sons in law, grew up in Log houses, ours in Portland and both of theirs in Baker. Both girls have good careers going, working downtown Portland and, of course, live close by too. I am now "retired" from my old law firm. I was with the firm for 32+ years, got "laid off" last July due to a major change in our client base. Six months later the firm itself dissolved (after 110 years). Now I'm doing a little freelance investigation work for several attorneys I know and otherwise loafing and enjoying being retired. We went through a major health scare in 2014 when Judy was diagnosed with cancer. Luckily, she beat it with 6 months of chemo and is doing fine now with no residual effects. This makes twice she has beat the Big "C". She had Lung Cancer 25 years ago and beat that one with surgery alone. All is well now. My Mom is also now living in Portland, at an assisted living place close by, finally sold the Pasadena/Hastings Ranch house a couple years ago. Doing well and enjoying the new place, being close to us and our daughters. Still playing a lot of music with a gang of musician friends and watching a lot of soccer (Portland Timbers, 2015 MLS Champs, and Portland Thorns NWSL) I guess that's about all the news from up here. Still pretty close with Dr. Bill Stiles, Greg Roberts, Stu Flint and Michael Straw. They are all in close proximity. Hope you are all doing well, if anybody ever comes through Portland, look me up. Later, Gary L.
