Hey Cheri, sounds like you’re having fun - we had some excitment at work last night, we had to send a helicopter out East End with a bambi bucket for fire duty. Hopefully they got it under control last night. It had burned about 300 acres. Shades of Summer. It has been very dry here already. Pete had a visitor at the boat awhile back, thought I would share a closeup:

San Diego
Ah-ha!
Hello to all from sunny San Diego I’m here attending a Boys & Girls Club national conference (I’m a board member for the Alaska organization.) This little post is being accomplished using my in-room TV Internet service! Amazing, eh! If only I had remembered to bring my camera, I could have posted some neat photos–like one of the USS Midway (which I know would have tickled Wedin54). As it is, I’ll just have to leave it at sending greetings to you all, especially to Jake, Sam, Nathan and Marina. Wish you were here with me–and the 3,400 OTHER conference attendees. Tonight is B&G night at the San Diego Padres game, free tickets for 2,000 of us. I’ll be camong those eating hot dogs. Love to all, C

(Lots of exclamation points on the org these days … ) This is actually Cheri writing under John’s alias. Isaac, I accidentally logged out and now, yes once again, I can’t remember my password and user ID. If you’ll reset it, I’ll do my best to set a password that even Sam can remember for me!
Really.
Oh Master!
Hey Isaac:
Sorry to hear you have a cold. Was looking fwd to congratulating you in person, but understand your wanting to get well before returning home….esp. with the prospect of pre-Phd action! Really wish you could have been with me this week . This deal was right up your alley. These guys tend to be pretty dry at times, but the panel did a good job of interjecting funny and interesting stuff just about when you were about to nod off. Made some great contacts and for the most part, it was a very positive experience for the group. Each time we go through something like this, we mature as an organization a bit more. I really wish I could just return to be capt. pete and let it all go to pass, but with the chance it coulod go to court, etc, that doesn’t seem likely. We met with an old warhorse of the subsistence fights (he is still engaged in it) and he says we need to raise $225,000 to win the fight if it goes to court…..wow! hope we can have good sense and politics prevail. I will print out and review your paper more closely as soon as I get home. What I did get out of it at quick glance helped me in the focus group today and I will share it with others when i get home. Thanks for taking up the topic and glad to did the trick. As far as I can recall, you are the first master in the family. Anyone know of anyone else? We are all very proud of you. Take care and we’ll talk soon. Love, Dad
Isaac did it!
Isaac presented his project to his advisory committee this morning at 9a Alaska time and he made it through (relatively) unscathed! The committee members signed on the dotted line, so he is now the proud owner of a Master of Science in Economics from the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Great job Isaac. love you. -m.
Katie Did!
hey all…pretty busy here on lake park (which seems to be the case org-wide lately), but wanted to share a quick post this morning regarding a comment that most (or all) of you may not have seen. katie commented to a post of mine a little over a month ago (”from the associated wedin.org press”). as you may recall, i had reprinted an email from mary p regarding their upcoming rendezvous with grandparenting. anyhow, very cool to see a comment from katie and hope it’s the first of many! this is also a great example of how the org helps us all stay connected and keep in touch, whether we’re a short drive up I-5 or thousands of miles distant. new post soon from lake park…meanwhile, hugs around and love to everyone. jack ( katie’s comment can be viewed at: wedin.org/archives/2005/03/14/from-the-associated-wedinorg-press/#comments
Hello from Jess, Ben, Berkeley, and Babies
Jessica and I have been enjoying the spring weather. We have been getting out as much as we can. We are excited to meet our girls, which should be 7-9 weeks away. We thank you all for attending Jessica’s shower and we really appreciate all the gifts, the girls are already spoiled.
