First off, a brief update on the Wilhite family. After two years in Anchorage, Alaska we moved to Baltimore in July 2013 where we lived for about a year. In 2014 we bought a home in Albuquerque and I returned to a former employer who had relocated to Milwaukee. I commuted between Milwaukee and Albuquerque for about a year. In April 2015, I returned to my former company in Anchorage, and have been commuting between there and Albuquerque. They are kind enough to let me work from home about half the year, so I make the commute “only” five times annually.
A few weeks ago, while I was up in Anchorage, my wife Sue (McLaughlin, Regina Class of ’77) was at a neighborhood party. She was chatting with a woman who had also moved to Albuquerque from Maryland a couple of years ago. Sue mentioned that she had grown up in Iowa City, and the other woman noted that her husband lived in Iowa City back in the 1970’s. Turns out her husband is our classmate Bob Cole, and they live about two blocks away! Talk about a small world.
Bob and I ran into each other a couple of weeks ago while out walking. We did some catching up and reminiscing about West High, our classmates and time in the band. We are looking forward to getting together again soon.
All the best to everyone!
Cheers!
