The moment following the vote

Hi everyone, 

Here are a couple of images of the Rev. Rick Jaech and wife Satya reacting to the final vote that made him bishop of the Southwestern Washington Synod, and also of him in a reception line with the Rev. Dick and Elaine Rodning. I'll get more photos and information up here, but first I have to inform the media and The Lutheran. I have dozens of photos, probably of you. If you want one for yourself, your bulletins and newsletters, contact me at 206-498-0920 or rachelpritchett@msn.com. Yes, he prefers Rick to Richard.
