When we were 17 and out of high school, two buddies and I rented an apartment on 65th Avenue near Alki Beach and spent the summer goofing around.
One of the trio later moved to Bellingham and began a career in business and lives there still.
His story is, like many of us, a checkered one, marked by marriage and divorce, loss of family members and the ups and down of life.
A few years go, he got to know a neighbor lady who was also single. In March, they decided to marry and planned a trip to Palm Springs to celebrate.
They knew they could go to Palm Springs and get a license fast and tie the knot. His name is Mike. He is 75 years old. His new bride is Beth.
Mike got the flu in January and into February. But by mid-March he was feeling good.
