It seems hard to believe that 2024 is drawing to a close, but it is. And like the year 2024, this tradition we created all those years ago is also coming to an end. So I hope this year’s video Christmas card finds you well and that any endings in your 2024 also included some wonderful new beginnings.
Bert is now an AVP at Providence and rising to all the career opportunities that new change is bringing him. He managed to take some great vacations, including taking his mom, Claudia, to New York City for a long weekend.
Kristina is still at the Clark College Foundation and loves being a professional thank you note writer. Unfortunately, both her parents died in 2024 (Dale Wagner, 11/12/1940-11/19/2024; Linda Wagner, 8/19/1945-3/1/2024) and so that has been a big change.
Isaac is wrapping up his honors thesis and will soon be joining the job seeking ranks.
Amelia was accepted into the biology/physiology major at University of Washington and is enjoying her 3rd year in Seattle. Her boyfriend, Rich, continues to make her smile and delicious curry.
Rowan graduated from high school and will finish an associates degree at Clark College in the next year. Part of the graduation celebration included taking a vacation to Scotland which was far more wonderful than anyone hoped it would be. Rowan’s girlfriend, August, joined the family on the trip and kept everyone laughing!
Yes, it was a year of many highs and lows. May the best of 2024 be the worst of 2025 for us all.
