SEATTLE, WA - 23 MAY 03

Hi all, photos from devil mini's taken Sat. night (May 23) in Seattle at a Japanese Polynesian tiki house / restaurant called 'Ohana. 'Ohana is a fun, rowdy place. They had puka shell necklaces waiting for us when we showed up, and we started the party with some of their happy hour pupu's (gyoza, spam musubi, cone sushi, and yakitori).  Mark Hennings 77  joined us for the happy hour but had to head out to catch his last bus/ferry home.  The dinners were good too, ranging from mahi mahi to chicken katsu.  I had a hamachi kama (yellowtail steak) that was dee-lish.   Mary Murfin rolled in after dinner as she had to take her daughter to an equestrian lesson.

Goofy gift x-change followed. Sak got a transistor radio with moving lips.  Kathy got a cow-shaped hand soap dispenser that really moo's.  We may see that reappear in a future G.G.E.  The "Oni Baloney" punchy puppet got stolen twice (from one end of the table, then back again) but ended up with Hideko (Treisa Monday's friend from Sasebo).  David, Rose, Kathy and I wandered around the Belltown area a little then headed for the hotel to visit a little longer.  We had a large number of classes represented.  Where was 68,  75, 76 and 78?  We even had Traca from the class of 88 join us.  She served in the USN, made lieutenant, and is now in the MBA program at UW.
