Naughty & Nice

Normally, we don't do the performance reviews of our Committee members out in the open, but as you know, we are committed to full transparency.   No one is above transparency.  Now, if we're talking transparency, I know most of you were hoping for more Committee members to be on the Naughty List, and for their exploits to be naughtier, but that's not how we roll.  No one on the Committee does really naughty things, ... well maybe just one.

Nice List

Linda Churchill -  Of course, Linda is going to get a nice rating, ... she provides the lovely picnic grounds at no cost to the Class, and we so appreciate her cheerful demeanor, even when she's cooking picnic chicken at midnight Friday night!

Jeanne Fletcher- Jeanne is the keeper of all things financial.   When someone on the Committee says, "you can take that to the bank", .... everyone looks at Jeanne.  She has kept track of every nickel, and she sometimes questions what we're spending money, ... which, because of her, we're very careful how we spend your money.

Stephanie Smith - Steph's in charge of the welcoming booth at the picnic, plus she does other stuff too.  Everyone is greeted with a sincere smile, and we keep track of everyone who attends the picnic.   We need your signature on the waiver forms, which Steph makes sure of ... which is very important, because we cannot get sued if someone gets injured ( no one's been injured ) , ... because we don't have much money, ... and especially because Jeanne will not like it if we have to pay out our nickels on a lawsuit.   So, ... Steph is nice.

Chris Perry - He and his wife Barb usually stays late on picnic day and make sure all the equipment, ... tents, tables, chairs, etc, ... are all packed up and put away.  Plus it's nice seeing his big smile when it's all done.  

Lee Crary - This is only the second time in recorded history Lee has been on a nice list, but he curates all the dahlias on Linda's farm, and they are spectacular.   You may not know this, but Lee is a regular at local dahlia shows.   I know .... it surprised me too.

Sue Akers - Of course we're going to put Sue on the nice list.   She's always so cheerful, and boy can she sing, plus, she and her husband Don Thompson ( MHS '66 ) come to almost every event.

Don Frame - Don's the only one willing to dress up head to toe in an alien like costume, take a weed eater, and tackle the weeds on the western picnic grounds, ... for hours.   He doesn't tire, he doesn't ask for food, he just works.  Plus, he's a nice guy. 

Naughty List

Steve Favorite - Ok, I'm going out on a limb here tagging El Presidente, but as I said, no one is above transparency.   Steve skipped out on our last picnic to take a week long fishing trip to Alaska, provided by a business associate.  He did try to bribe me not to say anything, ... with some salmon and halibut, but obviously, not enough salmon and halibut.

Betty DuPree -  I know what you're thinking, ... Betty seems nice.   She does, but as our Director of Security she has been submitting late and incomplete security reports of our events.  Now she's decided she needs a bigger budget because she needs dogs.   She has zero budget, so we agreed to double it, ... that was Jeanne's idea.

Kevin Murray - I'm trying to think of a specific naughty thing Kevin's done ( I know there are lots ), but none comes to mind right now, but I just think Kevin belongs on the Naughty List.   If you think of something, let me know. 

Lanny Hansen - Lanny also has a house down south where he goes to play golf in the winter.   I just think that's wrong, so Lanny's on the Naughty List.

Dave Ralston & Jerrye McCalmon Ralston - Uh oh, ... missed the picnic.   That's not good, ... in fact, ... that's Naughty.

Bill Klemm - Bill has a very cool hot rod he built himself.  Steve Favorite and I saw it at the Edmonds Hot Autumn NIghts car show.   Anyway, I'm a little jealous, so Bill's on the Naughty List.

Ron Dauzenroth & Sandi Stephens Dauzenroth - They moved to Yuma, AZ to get out of the Committee meetings. Tsk tsk tsk

Kinda Nice & Kinda Naughty

Carolyn Rommel - I know it's surprising to see Carolyn's name on any list that has "naughty" in it, but you may remember her high school story about skinny dipping in an apartment house pool.   Enough about that.   Carolyn is great to come to the picnic workday before the picnic ... that's nice, but she is not able to make the picnics, ... that's naughty. 

Mary Ferchen -  During the picnic, Mary is assigned to "advanced greeting", which means she is to greet people as they are arriving, ... so she is to be down the driveway a bit providing a welcoming to each picnic goer, ... and she's good at it, ... that's nice, but, Mary doesn't always follow orders, and is often found congregating with a bunch of classmates in front of the welcome desk.   We've tried and tried but Mary loves to be visiting with a big group of classmates, and we can't change her, ... she's naughty.
