in Tacoma restaurant
  Back
These four Queen Anne neighborhood friends, who hadn't seen each other since the 50s, met for lunch Aug. 20 at Stanley and Seaforth's in Tacoma. From the left are Brent Smith, '56, Charlie Anderson, '55, Ron Hall, '56, and Sandy Murray, '55. Actually, the '55 guys have kept in touch as have the '56 guys, but there had been no mixing of the years. Brent was up from Sacramento on business. Ron lives in Burien, Charlie and Sandy in Olympia. As the only one still working, Brent paid for the fish and chips. The mini-reunion was arranged via the alumni Web site.The shots to the right are from the 1954 yearbook except for Charlie's 1955 photo.
