Class of 1967

David Chichester writes: “In the spirit of downsizing and seizing an attractive housing opportunity, Hilde and I moved on Bainbridge Island from a large home with a great view on the southwest side of the island, to a lovely condo right on the Eagle Harbor Marina with a view of Seattle. We are now walking distance to the village and the ferry. Disposing of five rooms of furniture was a liberating experience. We welcome classmate visitors (and we still have a guest room). I attended a shipmates reunion for the USS Ponchatoula. What a great time...50 years since we were refueling and reprovisioning all the naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin and along the coast of South Vietnam. The bonds of mutual service remain strong. I continue with my volunteer activities as copresident of the Sports Foundation, member of the Advisory Council on Athletics and a trustee of Bloodworks Northwest (Blood Bank and Research Institute). I play tennis, hike, and visit the gym from time to time. Our family is happy and healthy, and we are blessed.”
