Happy 2009 From Kevin, Ratree, Kwang & Keng in Thailand
|
|
2008 marks the 8th straight year my wife Ratree and I have split our time between Thailand and Santa Cruz, CA. Here we are at Crater Lake, OR on a summer road trip.
|
Ratree and I on a long boat in Thailand on the Chao Praya river with Thai food in a banana leaf bowl. The simple life.
|
If all we take with us are our stories than this is a good one: Ratree and me at the Butte Creek home of my old CSU Chico friend Steve Ferreira, who reunited with his university girlfriend Jill after a 25 + year break. Steve thinks I have shrunk. I maintain I am standing in a hole.
|
At the wedding of my friend Rudy Estrada with his wife Tay in Lompang province on 11/22/08. Rudy traded the cold of Milwaukee for the tropical climate of Thailand and has no regrets. Me? I am a bit tired from the night before.
|
With my original college roomie, CSU Chico basketball teammate and gym legend Van "The Man" Marshall at The Oasis Tavern in Chico this summer. Van was the best shooting guard I ever played with. The "O" hasn't changed much in 30 years but dollar pitchers are nowhere to be found.
|
With Ratree for an evening feast right on a beach which was devastated by the Christmas day Tsunami just four years before.
