When Bridgie was about 12, she and a friend went for a ride with "this boy" who had a really nice car.  Problem was, the car was stolen.  Another problem was that they got pulled over and all parties in the vehicle were arrested.

Now, this isn't as bad as it sounds.

The arresting officer -- a Snohomish County sheriff -- knew who Bridgie was, called Grandpa Don.  (Grampa Don and Gramma Kit raised Bridgie).  The details are a little hazy -- something about letting them sit there for a while wasn't going to hurt'em any -- but Bridgie and her friend were put in a cell all by themselves.  After what I know was an eternity for them, Grandpa showed up, handed both girls a banana, tossed a handful of peanuts through the bars and left . . .

. . . to go chat with his buddy the sheriff, to let the reality of what had happened sink in.

Bridgie and her friend hadn't really been arrested, but the sheriff and Grampa figured that them thinking they had might be instructional, and let them stew for about a half hour before taking them home.

Like her son, Desert Storm Vet, Kevin, Sherry lives in Stockton, California.  Her other son, Chris, and wife Debbie, live in North Carolina, where Chris is a fireman.

Says Sherry of this picture, snapped -- *>SURPRISE<*-- by a co-worker at the Dameron Hospital in Stockton, California: "This picture isn't very good - hope to have some better ones soon".  She also says she's working on getting me pictures of Kevin, Chris, and Debbie.

Sherry is co-manager of Dameron's Maternal Child Department in the Alex and Faye Spanos Start of Life Center.  She graduated from Stagg High School, received her Associate Degree in Nursing from Delta College, and has a Doctorate of Public Health Administration.

After high school, she worked as a Nurse's Aide at Dameron and after college returned as an obstetrics staff nurse.  She is certified as an instructor in Infant Massage and CPR and as an Inpatient Obstetrical Nurse.  She belongs to the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses, Beta Sigma Phi, an international women's service organization, and has had a life long commitment to the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints where she is actively involved as a youth leader and is a merit badge counselor for the Boy Scouts.

Passed away 8 April 2008.  We'll miss you, Bob.
