Memorial Service





























It was wonderful to see all the people who came to celebrate Curt's life at his Memorial Service last Saturday (I think over 300). My house is slowly getting more quiet. Today Beth, Angie and I took Jason, Aaron, Sam and Andrea Simpson to the Portland airport. Andrea was on the same flight to Chicago where she was connecting with her flight to London. The other out-of-town relatives started to leave late Saturday afternoon. Beth and Angie will stay here until Friday. A former neighbor took pictures and video (about 1 hour) of the service. To view this you need to go to http://bit.ly/cfeF8E. I think the file is 1.5 gb. I didn't know he was going to do this, and it was a great surprise. Angie also made a slide show of old pictures that we showed before the service and at the reception/lunch in the Community Center afterwards. I might try to attach that on a later blog.
By the way we had a great time at the beach in Seaside. The weather was good and the house was big, very nice, and close to the ocean. We celebrated Aaron's birthday on March 23 by him feeding sea lions at the Aquarium, riding bumper cars and visiting Ft. Clapsop (Lewis & Clark). The next day we climbed the Astoria Column (164 steps) with spectacular views and exploring the batteries and grounds of Ft. Stevens.
