Engineering is not merely knowing and being knowledgeable, like a walking encyclopedia; engineering is not merely analysis; engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems; engineering is practicing the art of the organized forcing of technological change... Engineers operate at the interface between science and society...

Christmas in Kentucky
This year the weather for Christmas in Kentucky felt more like Seattle. The temperatures were in the 40's with occasional rain. Much better than the ice storm of 2004. For me this Christmas was very good. I had the opportunity to spend lots of time with my sisters, niece, nephew, and extended family as well as friends in the region. The pictures in this photo album speak for them selves. I hope you enjoy them!
A Celebration of Grandma's Life
Visitation, funeral, burial, reception, party the Lonnemann way to celebrate a life. We were all caught by surprise when Grandma Lonnemann passed way on November 29th, 2005. She had just finished her first round of chemotherapy and radiation for lung cancer. The side effects had been minimal and Grandma was feeling pretty good. Thanksgiving was only a few days behind us and we were all looking forward to Christmas. Click the title above for this photo album.
The Mass Celebrating Ruth Lonnemann's Life

My Grandfather requests that memorials be sent to St Vincent dePaul in support of the Pharmacy.

When I started looking for a picture of my Grandmother Lonnemann I was thinking of a picture of only her. I went and looked at the pictures from my most recent trip to Kentucky and found a picture where my Grandmother had a nice smile on her face. I then started to crop the picture, but, something felt wrong. It didn't seem right to crop my Grandfather out of the picture. Soon I realized that I shouldn't crop myself out either. Why, I thought to my self, should I take away from the picture its most important quality, the fact that this is a picture of a moment in my Grandmother's life and not simply a picture of her. Who would ever want to live their life as it ... [There is more. Click on the title above.]

Snoqualmie Pass: Silver Peak
It appears that Silver Peak is one of my favorite hikes as I have been there three times now. Thinking briefly about it I guess this should not be a surprise as Silver Peak is easy to drive to, moderate in length, and provides excellent views. Click through for a nine picture photo album from my third hike to Silver Peak.
