An update from JoyDawn Ragan:

My fiance's name is Phil Olla, We met on the Speech and debate team my first year of college. He plays the piano and is a supervisor of the Livermore, Community Center event staff. I work at Ohlone College in the Disabled Student Services department and piano and sing at church. We are getting married September 1 2007 at Ravenswood Historical site in Livermore, CA. Chelsea Jennings is my maid of Honor and Melissa
Warren-Hagaman is a bridesmaid in the wedding. =) We have been dating 2
and a half years and he proposed in December.

RCS just received these pictures from the Davidson Family. Tessa and her sister Amber (class of '01) were both married in 2006. Also participating and celebrating were Courtney (class of '99), Brandon (class of '03) and current students Whitney and Mikaylah. Congratulations to all!

At Redwood Chapel we spotted these 3 beautiful ladies: Christine Enns and her sisters Heidi Swamidass (class of 1993) and Katie Enns (class of 2006). Good to see you!

Patrick Harrold just arrived in the gulf . We (his parents) received his email (below) when he hit Kuwait. His unit soon will transition into Iraq; don't know what city/area he'll be in. Pat will be over there until mid-fall.

"it's not too bad here. i haven't felt the power of the sun yet because i haven't been here for 24 hrs yet. i'm wearing my black fleece now but that's probably gonna change pretty soon. the chow hall food is great here, even better than mainside at 29 palms.

they gave us live rounds almost as soon as we got here. it really emphasizes, "no more games/training, this is the real thing." i'm excited, and surprisingly not nervous."
