Hallo Janlyn,
Toen wij in Carlmont waren was jij Jan Gerbrans?
Ik heb 45 jaar in Monroe, Washington gewoond, anderhalf Uur van Bellingham.

Hi Tim,
I appreciate your FB posts.
Although you probably resist labeling, I get the sense that you are a libertarian.

Warning: This is a note about a High School memory that I am sharing, but it could be seen as obliquely political.

On Facebook, Timothy Browne noted that a vice presidential candidate suggested that people without children should pay higher taxes and wrote an eloquent post that referenced Flaubert.

I replied with: Hans Dankers
Well, said Tim,
Though I am not a childless cat lady, I do recall, Mr. Fasman accusing you of plagiarism when you wrote about a transmogrifying bee in a context I cannot quite recall.
Then, feeling slighted, you countered with a soliloquy, including playing the trumpet.
I don’t recall Mr. Fasman‘s response, but you acquitted yourself well.

By the way, I thought, Mr. Fasman and Mr. Border were excellent teachers.
Be well, Hans

Martha and my 50th anniversary is September 8, but we celebrated the last week of June when our grandkids usually come out for farm camp. Christian is divorced came out with Hans 15, Drew 12 and Kate 10 and girlfriend and her two kids. We are stand in grandparents for my late sister's son and daughter who came with their families. We had 17 at the resort in Plain WA, 90 min from our house for 3 days then the rest of the week at home. Surpassed our expectations.
I am retired since October 2017, but volunteer with hospice and as a consulting doc with End of life WA.
We are downsizing and on retirement home wait lists to transition to less maintenance in 2-3 years. People say they wish they had moved earlier, but it will be difficult to leave our beautiful home.

Happy birthday Gordon, I thought they called it the day of infamy because of the Pearl Harbor bombing.????

The Robb school shooting triggered a memory: There was a girl in Glen Kovas' typing class (one of my most useful classes). Her last name was Robb. The reason I remember is because Mr. Kovas jokingly asked her whether she was related to Rob Lawrence.
Her older brother died in Vietnam. That was in 1965 and I realized that the number (2,000) of Americans who had died was almost as many students as at Carlmont.

I will post this on Sue's page as well.

Hi Nancy,
For some reason when I woke up this morning, I remembered you giving butterfly kisses where you blinked your eyelids so your eyelashes contacted my cheek. Nice memories.

I also remember you and your older sister singing a Chistmas carol A capella, just with a triangle. Such beautiful harmony!

Hi Sue,
I hope you are having a great holiday.
My college reunion was delayed a year by Covid, but successful this past October.
I would like to help organize a 55th if Omicron or whatever variant comes next allows a reunion. Or maybe the following year.

Does this website need financial support??
Hope you have a Happy New Year and that 2022 is an okay year.
Hans
Hard to believe that Y2K was 22 years ago :(
