Brian continues to stay busy with community involvement and sound engineering.  He worked with other volunteers from our community to defeat two annexation elections this year, which prevented hundreds of homes from being planted on prime farmland.  2006 is expected to bring follow-up attempts by the developers.  And Fez Fatale is in the process of bringing two new members up to speed.  They’ll be back in full swing in 2006.

Brian’s side of the family had a pretty normal year.  His brother Bruce is enjoying life in Panama, while Brian’s mother continues to enjoy good health and life in Florida, dodging hurricanes with Brian’s other brother Bill.

Jim Long, a local activist and historian,
helps get the message out about the awful annexation proposal.

Friends of North Plains was actively involved in both measure campaigns.
Here are some of the "friends" marching in the annual North Plains annual parade.
