Campbell & Nicole Cooper

It was another wonderful family wedding with the marriage of Campbell Cooper to Nicole Penning here in Seattle. Campbell's family and friends came all the way from New Zealand for the occasion last night. They are delightful people and we are so happy they could make the trip to the states. So it was just a great time with all of Nicole's and Campbell's relitives and friends. I've posted a couple of photos here on blog, until I can of get the rest of them processed and on to a web page. NOTE: There is now a link on the right side of this page to view all the wedding photos.

Chris Craft Rendezvous

The 20th annual Pacific Northwest Chris Craft Rendezvous was held over the weekend in Port Orchard. Classic Chris Craft boats dating back to the 1940's came from all over for the weekend. So Jim invited me to join him to take his 55 foot Chris Craft from Seattle across Puget Sound and dock by Bremerton. It was a lot of fun with great food and friendly people. Friday night there was a band on the pier and that made for a great evening as the sunset. And I have to say those boats were absolutely beautiful. The amount of work and time the owners put into their boats is amazing.

Airlington Fly-In

Last Thursday Jim Dunn and I went to the Arlington Fly-In up north of Seattle. There were lots of great planes to see. Everything from the home built planes to military WWII bombers, there was something for everybody. The planes were beautiful and must require a lot of $$$$$ to keep and maintain. And to see those fantastic men in their flying machines doing the air show stunts, was a lot of fun. It was my first time to an air show. Growing up as a kid, I had always wished I could have been a WWI flying ace.
