CHRIS CHU

Chris Chu passed away on Saturday, February fourth.

Chris was an outdoors, physical guy. He loved the beach, boats, volleyball, and the female form. His wife of less than three years was perfect for him. Cut from the same fresh air and sunshine mold as he was. Always quick to make a commitment, Chris married Kim about three years ago after dating her for ten years. He told me he was nervous about getting married, but I told him that he was normal. (I had dated my wife for nine years)

He was always playing volleyball. At the Baer’s he brought in his volleyball net and we all played at morning break, lunch time and afternoon break. On the weekends Chris would play volleyball at Manhattan Beach. He would teach volleyball to anyone who wanted to learn and was patient with you until you got the skills down, then he would demand the best from you.

He worked hard. When asked to stay to make a deadline, well...I can’t remember him saying no.

He liked a deadline.

He laughed a lot; Sometimes with you, but mostly he laughed at the foibles of friends. And he liked to tease. He teased the HELL out of Pat Joens. He liked to argue with Pat over whether Hawaii or Montana was the best place on earth to live. Chris sided with Hawaii, with a vengeance.

Chris vacationed every year, got married, honey- mooned, and always planned to live in Hawaii. He knew the islands and seemed to love Maui the best. I can’t think of Hawaii without thinking of Chris. He took his last vacation there just a few months ago.

I will miss him.

O.J. UPDATE II

            In case you don’t have a program here’s how the game is played: The Prosecution team, with head coach Marcia Clark, believes O.J. Simpson brutally murdered his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman. They believe this because their team has scientific EVIDENCE.

            The Defense Team, headed by Johnny Cochran and touting many star players, believes O.J. Simpson is innocent of all wrongdoing and that evidence from the prosecution is made-up because the Los Angeles Police are really the Keystone Cops (“Facts? Facts? What facts? I don’t see any facts.”). They believe this because they are being paid by O.J. to believe this.

            Okay, now that you know the rules, enjoy the game. This week brought to you by: Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream! Their flavor of the month is Rocky Road. Melts in your mouth... not in your house!
