Rick Uhlig reports that he attended the sixth annual Gilman Forever Luncheon in April and was disappointed that no other 1959 classmates attended. This is a very worthwhile event so Rick encourages all to make plans to attend next year. He also reports that he volunteers with Gilchrist Hospice and participates with other veterans in Salutes to Service tributes to honor veterans near the end of life.

The photo, along with notes of appreciation from classmates, was presented to Chip Markell as a memento of his service as class secretary. Standing, l to r: John Hilgenberg, Bo Grimes, George Hardy, Charlie Offut, Bill Schmick, Hobie Fowlkes,Bill Helfrich, Dick Emory, John Edelen, Dick Gibbs, Ted Gans, Tom Haines, Frank Pine, Clark MacKenzie. Sitting, l to r: Rick Uhlig, Chip Markell, John Ramsay
