Bill Howard, on the right, though retired from the State Department, still shows a knack for alfresco entertaining, recently hosting several other '55 grads on his Shoreline deck. Paul Spitzer and his wife had already headed back to their houseboat on Lake Union before someone thought of photos, but Sandy Murray and Marilyn Morrill Droege were captured digitally along with Bill. Since the guy on the left is moving to Australia soon, this encounter, though premature, serves as his 50th reunion of the Class of 1955. (Unless there's a substantial prize for longest distance traveled to the reunion.)
