Bonnie and I on our way to 'secret' falls in Yosemite.  No, I can't tell you where they are otherwise it wouldn't be a secret.

In July 2009, Pastor Clete’s daughter was married at a church member's house in Foxen Canyon.  He’s pictured with his Granddaughter ,  Mia, who he affectionately calls “Jip.”  By the way, Pastor Clete is drinking only lemonade.

Clete and Bonnie have 3 adult children:
Megan (28), on the left,lives and works in Santa Barbara, where she’s a Veternarian Technichian.
Lindsay (31), center,is married to Jeremy Gonzalez and lives in the Bay area.   She’s a stay at home mom.
Chris (29), on the right, lives in Santa Maria and works for the IRS.  (You’d think giving would go up at the church!!!)

Pastor Clete is an avid baseball fan. He loves the San Francisco Giants.  He and Lindsay, who at one time had season tickets,  have spent many memorable times at the stadium.

Bonnie and Clete have a beautiful, picturesque, eight acres of land outside Spokane, WA.  It’s a dream of Pastor Clete’s to live on a farm with a few chickens, a donkey, and a John Deere tractor (oh yes, and Bonnie too.)

Each May, several church friends and Pastor Clete  (and sometimes family) travel to Yosemite National Park.  There’s almost a yearly trek to the top of Half Dome.  At last count, Pastor Clete had made the 18 mile hike 8 times.  This picture of Clete and his daughter, Megan, was taken at "little Yosemite Valley" on the way to the top.

Bonnie and Clete have been married for 36 years.  He claims that she’s a "saint"’ for putting up with him for so long.  During a sabbatical time at the Genesee House in Northern California, they were relaxing floating down a summer stream.

Actual proof that he made it.  This is the top of Half dome with Bonnie.  (Maybe she is a saint for putting up with his exploits.)
