 * Bob Barker**

**1969: **Upon graduation I attended Skagit Valley College for one year, then spent three years with Uncle Sam in the Army Security Agency in Europe.  Upon graduation from that institute I re-entered Skagit, graduating in 1966 and then from Central Washington State College with a B.A. degree in Business administration.  I’m now in business with Barker Air Service in Mount Vernon and also in real estate investing.  Weekends are spent racing my NASCAR Late Model Sportsman in Eastern Washington and Oregon.  Other hobbies include golf, flying, water skiing, and bowling.  My marital status (as of this writing) is single.


 * 1979:** As we left off in 1969...I had spent three years in the Army, graduated from Skagit Valley College, and then graduated from Central Washington State College with a degree in Business Administration and Economics. I then spent nine years in various management positions with New York Life Insurance Company. I have been transferred to such exotic places as Detroit, Michigan and the mistake-by-the-lake, Cleveland, Ohio. My wife, Adrienne, and I have just completed another move. This one, however, is back to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We are now in Olympia, where I am an Assistant Director for Sunset Life Insurance Company. We live right behind the ninth tee at the Delphi Country Club, so if you are in the area bring your golf clubs and stop in. Since we have just arrived (March 1979) this is a temporary address, but we will be building later this year (Probably on the seventh fairway) so we should have a permanent address by reunion time. Needless to say, golf is our main hobby, but among other things, I took up scuba diving a few years ago and found it interesting that one of the main textbooks used on the subject was written by our own John Cramer.


 * 1999:**  Three years in the army.  Graduated with degrees in business from Skagit Valley College and Central Washington State College.  <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thirty years in management with major corporations—retiring this year as Vice-President of Policy Administration. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; mso-spacerun: yes; msospacerun: yes;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Live on the bay just north of Olympia and play a lot of golf. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; mso-spacerun: yes; msospacerun: yes;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Divorced—father of three, grandfather of two.
