Roosevelt Class of 1973

Mary Margaret (Meg) Currier REID Meg passed away on January 4th after a brief illness, surrounded by her family. She was born in Tacoma, WA on October 18, 1955 to Jim and Mary Ann Currier. She graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in Romance Linguistics. She was a member of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority and served as chapter president. Meg was the personification of grace, love, and compassionâ€"she never met anyone she could not befriend. Meg had the gift of being able to remember something about people she met and share it with them the next time she saw them. She chose to make her family and her community her life's work. She gave quietly of her time and talents with unceasing generosity and humility to many organizations, most notably the Northshore School District. Meg could light up a room with her big brown eyes and beautiful spirit. She had a quick wit and a wicked sense of humorâ€"she was hilarious. She had her own way of telling a story, and her version was always more entertaining than what had really happened. Of her many wonderful quirks, she had a unique palate, and was known for her four basic food groups: nonfat lattes, milk chocolate, crunchy peanut butter, and Cheerios. Meg loved sports and was a devoted fan of the Huskies, Mariners, Seahawks and Sounders; no matter what the record was, she never abandoned her teams. Meg was an amazing wife, mother, sister, and friend. She is survived by Tom, her devoted husband of 28 years, and her children: Andrew, and his fiancée Melanie Bishop, Margaret 'Maggie', Peter 'Bubs', Jane Elizabeth 'Janie', and Señor (Buddy), her constant and faithful four-legged companion. Meg will also be greatly missed by her sisters Betsy Wheeler (Doug), Jane Lamb (Peter), and her brother Jim Currier (Melanie), as well as her nieces, nephews and extended family. We are all better people for having had the gift of her presence in our lives. Meg was always the life of the party, but she has left this party far too early, and we will all miss her. In lieu of flowers, remembrances can be made to NW Chapter of National MS Society (Meg's Fun Raisers 2011 Walk MS); Hopelink or The Puget Sound Blood Center. A Celebration of Life for Meg will be held on Saturday, January 29, 2011 at 10:18 a.m., at the Lake Forest Park Presbyterian Church 17440 Brookside Blvd NE, Lake Forest Park, WA 98155.

Jill Lorene Brossard at the age of 53 dies of breast cancer

Jill Lorene BROSSARD Jill Lorene Brossard, born December 13th 1956 in Seattle Washington, passed away on December 11th at the age of 53. She died unexpectedly, surrounded by family, after a reoccurrence of breast cancer. Jill graduated from Roosevelt High School in Seattle and Green River CC in Auburn, where she received her degree in occupational therapy. Jill realized her passion for working with special needs children and was a dedicated advocate. Yet, once she had children of her own she left to focus on raising a family. She can be identified by any Mill Creek resident, as she was an avid walker-coffee cup and dog leashes in hand! Jill was a beautiful soul, always ready with her genuine and warm smile. She left a loving legacy to both her immediate and extended family. She is survived by her husband Jim, her daughters Carlee, Kimberly (T.J.), Laura, her son Daniel, her parents Jerrolee and Carl Ostrom, her sisters Carolee Morrison (John), Nancy Broderson and brother Tom Ostrom (Marilyn). Service to be held at Trinity Lutheran Church, 6215 196th St. SW, Lynnwood WA 98036 December 17th at 2:00 p.m. Remembrances can be made to www.trinitylutheran church.com or www.komen.org.

The two 1972-73 All-Metro Jim’s, Edwards and Ingram, go at it.
The Metro League was so good that season (long-time local player and coach, Keith Kingsbury, called it the strongest he had seen it in 15 years) that Ingraham won the pre-seaso...n Holiday Tournament, Garfield won the Metro League title, and Roosevelt won the State Championship.

Even Nathan Hale, which finished 3rd in the North Division, defeated Ingraham, and took Roosevelt twice into overtime before losing.

Another year is comming to an end.

We are approaching Thanksgiving and Christmas of 2010. I am back after I departed Seattle back in 1977. I live in Edmonds. If I had one wish; it would be that all that need a job could find one.
