Gary's Story
Hello my friends,
I was born in Washington D.C. where Dad was with the Secret Service and Vets Administration.
We lived in Silver Springs, Md. until 9 years. I have one sister, Patty. She was marred when I was about 6 years old. For several years we would vacation on my folks 38 foot boat on the Chesapeake Bay and Delaware River.
My parents and I moved to Spokane where dad took a job as V.P. of the First National Bank of Spokane. That was 1952. My parents' folks and the wonderful big lakes with boating and fishing drew us back to Spokane and the northwest. I attended Madison grade school from 4th thru 8th grade, Gonzaga Prep. in !958, Shadle in 59,60,61. I was very proud of the cars I drove, a nice yellow 54 Mercury hardtop in 58, 59. In 60 and 61 I proudly drove a 1954 greenish blue Corvette with two racing stripes down the middle ( I put the paint color back to stock white with the expertise of Ken Spieger) in 1960.

raduated from Whitworth with an economics and sociology degree. We live in Spokane for a few months a year and we are residents of Idaho and live in the second home we had built at Priest lake, Idaho(Coolin is the town). We built one at Steamboat Bay in 1971 and built the one we are in now in 1977/78. Jerrie Sandberg and her sister, Janice, as chaperon, and I went to the movie "Summer Place" in 1958. I have wanted a Place at Priest lake as far back as I can remember. To this day the "Theme to Summer Place" by Percy Faith and his orchestra is my favorite melody. We feel so blessed to have that summer place on the southern shore of Priest lake. We have a number of friends that we so enjoy sharing this fantastic place. I look forward to seeing some of you, my friends, that I have not seen for decades.
Much love and prayers to you my friends.
Warmly,
