Washington February 2008

We were invited by the Lacey and Olympia Stakes to participate in a recognition program of present and past stake presidents. What a wonderful opportunity we had to see old friends and to spend time catching up. That was our first time back since we moved to Utah in early 2000.







This is a photo of those young "punks" as they were when they were called to serve.









This is a picture of them seven years later when the stake was divided and Ralph was called to be the president of the new stake (and was promised by Elder Pace that the clock was still ticking and not reset). Elder Steve Pond accompanied Elder Pace for the change.









We were, also, able to spend some quality time with Erika, Marshall and their five children. We attended a school program, Tyler's basketball game, Cub pack meeting and many more fun activities before heading home through the mountains.
