Martha and I have been at Emerald Heights In Redmond Washington since May 2024.
We moved here 2 1/2 years ago after 45 years on a 16 acre hobby farm near Monroe, Washington. We raised two boys, doing 4H and then select soccer, we also raised many sheep and lambs, llamas, alpacas, goats, and chickens, and in my spare time, I spent many hours with Monroe family practice.
There were no specialists for the first 15 years, so I assisted with surgeries, made home visits etc. I delivered babies until my brain tumor in May of 1990 but still followed the babies I had delivered. In 2008, I left Monroe for five years at the Snoqualmie tribal clinic in nearby Carnation.
Emerald Heights isa wonderful nonprofit continuing care center with 600 residents on 35 acres with 10 acres of forest.
Because I am having more difficulty walking, we checked several things off our bucket list. In April, we spent a week with Road Scholar in Florida at Amelia Island and Saint Augustine and then in July and South Dakota is in Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Mammoth Hot Springs, and the Inside Passage in Alaska. (The neurologist theorizes that the neural network that took over after my tumor excision is wearing out.) I took a walker to Mount Rushmore and to Maine in August.
We will miss the reunion, because we had an undergraduate reunion at Lake Tahoe two weeks ago and made a 10-day road trip.
I really enjoyed our last reunion, and appreciate all the effort that has gone into arranging this one.
I look forward to sharing this weekend's events vicariously.
Thanks everyone,
Best regards to all,
Hans Dankers

Hi Robb,
Thanks for the campus map. I won't be there next weekend. Martha and I made a 9 day road trip to Fallen Leaf Lake last weekend for an undergrad reunion, and couldn't do both.
Be well and greetings to everyone. Hans
No hard feelings for beating me for SB Pres.
I met Judy Bosse in third grade at Mae Nesbit. She developed into a self assured confident, fun loving, bright light. She showed me kindness when I really needed it.In her short life, Judy shared her light and love.
I didn't know Judy personally, but I remember seeing her that morning - she was bubbly and happy. When something like that happens, you don't forget that last look. Very sad.
Hi Jeff,
I remember the day Judy Bosse was killed by
kids racing past the school. Tragic and stupid, a beautiful life and wonderful potential cut short.
Glen Kovas told me that the kid who was driving the car came to him and looked like hell. Not sure what happened to him, but two lives destroyed.
I also remember when Margo Robb’s older brother was killed in Vietnam when there were 2000 Americans killed which was the size of Carlmont.
