Classification talks by Club members is an incredible way to get to know one another. In recent years, classification talks were primarily given by new Club members. So, we decided to go with a relatively new member (young) and an (older) member as a way for all Club members to know and find out about their history and background. Picture above are Rickelle Pegrum and Gary O'Rielly.
Rickelle was raised in Spokane. Worked for Nordstrom's in Spokane and later transferred to the Seattle downtown store. Big city move for a small town girl according to Rickelle. Met Jeff Pegrum, got married and raised a family. Currently is the owner of the Marysville Creamery while Jeff, a retired Captain in the Everett Fire Service dabbles in junking/selling/and more.
Gary is a long-time Rotarian who moved to Lake Stevens about 16 years ago. Married for 63 years to Bev, three children and five grandchildren. Born in South Dakota but raised in Seattle within a block of Green Lake. Enjoyed three careers: Movie theatre manager, chamber of commerce management and finally regional public affairs manager for International Paper.
Retired and serving on four boards in Lake Stevens.
