      Welcome, Dr Yong. Larry Wigton and I were married in 1988. Our marriage was Blessed in 1997 through Greg Coolidge and Bonnie Berry-Coolidge, and have lived in the Seattle together since then. We are retired now. I volunteered for the church for many years, and retired the same time Larry did. We are both 70 now. Larry is an Aeronautical Engineer who retired from Boeing a few years ago. I had a career in Income Tax Preparation and had my own business but am retired from that now. We have been staying at home (and staying healthy so far) this past year because of the Pandemic. And we wish you and your family good health during this difficult time. I hope we can meet in the future when it is safe to get out and about.

      Take good care!
      Mary Ann Schaffer-Wigton
