Greetings All,

If you put Dad's Celebration of Life on you calendar please mark it postponed.  It is worth it to us to wait until we can hug you and share food and dancing.  This will at minimum require a vaccine for the grandkids under age 5.  Please keep your eyes and ears open for an update, hopefully in the next few months.  If you are not yet vaccinated please do that!  
 
We posted Dad's obituary in the Seattle Times and Edmonds Beacon back in November.  Links:

A link of interest, Dad was part of the History Project at the UW School of Dentistry:

When asked how we are doing I'm not sure any of us have a good answer.  We are alive and have much to be grateful for but we all miss him terribly.  It has been surreal to hit the anniversary of Dad's diagnosis and approaching the date of his death. 

Many thanks to each of you who have reached out to check on us or share memories of him.  Thank you for all of the donations in his name to the IRC.  They are always doing vital work, and have been very active in the last year helping Afghan and Ukrainian refugees especially.  https://help.rescue.org/donate/make-tribute-donation

With love,
Julie
Wishing you all well.
