Winner of the Roy Gettz Memorial Award 2023
Andy Goodrich
Andy is a true friend
| Andy called in 1996 to say this, he found a group
for Chitose reunion and would we like to go. Andy and my husband
Ron were stationed in chitose from 1960 to 1963 so started our 27years of fun and many forever friends. Andy and his lovely wife Eileen live in Cedar Rapids Iowa Andy was president of the ASA reunion group for 16 years.You could call Andy about any problems and he just has a way about him that people wanted to fix the problem or help out. He is always a friend to all. Every reunion Andy brings new jokes and you can’t wait to hear the next one. Andy loves a good joke and Andy also loves to play in the pools at the hotel. Just be careful as he loves to practice his cannon balls especially when there are people standing around the pool. He deserves the Roy Getz award Willa Nichols |
Andy with the love of his life Eileen Goodrich
| I met Andy in 1999 on a trip back to Chitose. Everyone was so nice that I decided I would start going to the reunions. I got to be friends with Andy and his wonderful wife Eileen and I look forward to seeing them each year at the reuions. I enjoyed working with him in his 16 years as President of the group. Great job Andy!. Phil Peters |
