The Rat Fink Reunion is a fun Utah event! A great Motorcycle and Car Show too... John Hansen from Irving Jr High School days drew my first Rat Fink on my sweatshirt. It was a Rat Fink riding on a motorized skateboard. I was surprised to learn the "Ed Big Daddy Roth" lived and worked in Utah! It's still, fun to be young, again.

Just a quick thought, as I am trying to aid Pres. Trump...ha, use to go to Rat Finks shop...had a few good talks...Johnny Carleson put an alarm on My Malibu, after purchasing a tape system from Him ( I think it was a 4 track :-) A little while later, someone, who knew right where the alarm switch was, switched it off and stole everything...sometime later, Johnny found Himself in trouble with the Law, and was shut down. Wally, the Guy selling tapes from His trunk by THC, also got in trouble, as I recognized some of MY tapes that got stolen :-) I'm old, but this is how I remember it  (oh, the good old days - gave Me a chance to switch to 8-track :-)

...Big Daddy had a shop right behind Cummins Diesel, 1038 So. 2nd West ( which was Our address, before Our Home was demolished, and Cummins expanded to it ) so He was basically in Our back yard...not sure how long He stayed there - it was not really public-info that He was there :-)

Yes, in the short time I lived in Nashville, Tennessee as a teenager the group I fell in with were the "Rat Finks."  I lost my finks ring a few years ago but I did wear the color, even if only for a short time.  When I got back to Salt Lake their werer no Finks.

A big thank you to Jeff Chivers for helping us navigate the Medicare transition from employment to retirement.  My husband, Lou, and I are Impressed with his efforts and personal interest in our case. It is so helpful to have a trusted and informed professional looking out for our best interests.  We would highly recommend him to all seniors. Thanks again Jeff!

Ernest "Buzz" Fontana

A big shout out to Jeff Chivers! Had a wonderful visit with him the other day. The man is brilliant. 100% helpful. I hope everyone that needs help will give him a shot. It's well worth it. Thank You Jeff! Now who do I talk to about a golf lesson......Buck are you there? Scott, I know you are laughing. Oh Well. GIVE JEFF A CALL!

I also would like to thank Jeff Chivers for his vast knowledge of the system. I don't know how we would ever have made it through the retirement process without him, 

Carolyn Burnett (Taylor)

I've worked with Jeff for 2 years. The 1st  year we went into depth on my needs and the 2nd year we just reviewed my changes over the phone. I am pretty shy, and he was very easy to talk to. I highly recommend Jeff Chivers to help you choose the right plan and company that  will meet your needs. 

Jeff Chivers

Gosh Carolyn, Julie, Buzz & Sherrie, thanks so much for your kind words. 

Despite your expressions of gratitude, I honestly believe I'm the one who has benefited most from our associations; having the unique opportunity of renewing cherished relationships and developing close bonds with so many of my former classmates. 

Looking forward to continued friendships!!

Happy Mothers Day . Also, just adding a "shout-out" to Jeff Chivers and I agree with his comment in that it was fun to reconnect with him after these almost 48 years--where has the time gone. Hello to all. I'm wishing each of you every good thing.

I see that Verdie Stone was added to "In Memory" today. I had to look up to see what I could find but there wasn't much.

Apparently it was quite sometime ago that he died. He had such a beautiful, interesting face. I sat next to him in art class and I had a minor crush on him.

I'm sad to hear about Verdi.  We talked several times in High School and did have some in common, mostly our Apache history.  The difference was Verdi was raised on the reservation and was close to the Native culture.   My family had been in the cities since the 1850s so our awareness of the tradition had been lost.  Aside from that Verdi and I were very different.  He was quiet, well mannered and a very nice guy.  I was all over the map looking for the next party or the next good joke.  He was a high quality man with grace and dignity.

The Good Old Days:

Dale Charlie Salazar

Good morning Cubs.  I too want to shout out to Jeff Chivers.  His expertise in Medicare has brought us together in conversations about my clients.

I've been with Ameriprise Financial for 25 years December of this year, originally American Express Financial Advisors.  I selected my firm because of the attitude:  Serve, Serve, Serve.  The slower, consultative approach has been helpful for me as I feel the need to be a service provider.  

I invite you to check me out:

I was reassured earlier this year when Pres Miller stepped up to help my client with his expertise in real estate.  He did it for free despite my best efforts to compensate him.  He did say he might let me take him to lunch.

A few things I'm proud of:  I have one of the cleanest compliance records in my company.  This is high priority for me.  I've also been awarded a 100% client satisfaction survey score from my clients.  This means I'm there.  At present I have no intention to retire anytime soon.

In reading Gail Miller's new book she mentioned a poem by Joseph Parry.

 New Friends and Old Friends 

Make new friends, but keep the old;
those are silver, these are gold.
New made friendships, like new wine,
age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test
 time and change are surely best;
brow may wrinkle, or grow gray,
friendship never knows decay.
For 'mid old friends tried and true,
once more we our youth renew.
But old friends, alas may die,
new friends must their place supply.
Cherish friendship in your breast
new was good, but old is best;
make new friends, but keep the old;
those are silver, these are gold.

Perhaps that is the reason for this site!
You are good old friends to me.
