Karen and I attended the 75th Reunion of the Snohomish High School class of 1942 held as it is every year at Hill Park on the shores of Blackman Lake and I took a few snaps with my handy iPhone.
Karen and George Gilbertson who once was our neighbor but is now living in a fancy place in Kirkland. George inherited the Snohomish Drug Store on First Street from his father and I love his story that the soda fountain was so popular with high school kids in the 1930s and 40s that they wore it out and George removed it. At the reunion, he told of ordering a milkshake the other day and he paid $5 — the same size shake he sold for 15 cents!
Glen Fields was drafted into WW II; and then returned to take up his father’s drilling business.
Glen and Karen with their best smiles.

My first visit to the Class 1942 Annual Reunion was in 2015, click on the image above of June Gregory, the reunion organizer, to view a then-and-now movie I put together using portraits from the class yearbook.
