Birthday:April 20, 1942 Occupation:Human Services Researcher - Retire Marital Status:Married No. of Children:3

From Jay:After 4 years as a math teacher, 5 as a graduate student, 3 as a naval officer, 7 as a university professor and a bunch more doing health, education and human services evaluations for various North Carolina agencies, I came to realize that I couldn't hold a job so I retired. My wife and I live in Raleigh, NC. We have 2 unmarried sons, 36 and 34 and a daughter, 29, married with a two year old daughter and a baby boy.

I now spend my days as a volunteer helping international students and scholars adapt to life at North Carolina State University. I still run, swim, bike, play tennis, and piano.

Viewing this web site I am amazed that I remember the names and faces of the vast majority of our class. Good memories.

From Peggy (Margaret):How grand it is to have caught a glumpse of yesteryear. We all look so different and yet the same. We sure were a good looking graduating class weren't we?
My life has been a whirlwind of events just like everyone elses has been I'm sure. After having 3 wonderful sons who now live in the Great State of Washington (the main reason we live here) and 4 great step kids I have had a lot of reasons to work hard for my kids and for my sanity. (***SMILE***)
I worked for 17 years for Waukesha County Public Health and Court System; then worked for another 18 years for Siemens Water Technology in Waukesha. Where that time has gone I will never know.
We are living in a wonderful area of Renton WA and have many blessings that have been so graciously given to us by God. I truly praise His name.

I sure hope to be able to finally attend a class reunion but the distance is such a factor. We'll see what happens.

Hope to see many of you soon.

From John:

Residing�in Florida and have 2 sons in Colorado. Only one beautiful grand daughter, 14 yrs old.

Retired from land developer/home builder in 2006. Fishing is my passion. The most recent important event in my life -------------------------

One day while exploring for new areas to fish deep in the Everglades, I came upon a hidden fresh water spring bubbling up in the mangroves. I tasted it and immediately felt a tingle in my skin. Returning home I looked in the mirror and noticed the tone of my skin began to tighten and sparkle.

I discovered the "Fountain of Youth". (see "NOW" photo above). �I returned a week later and collected 200 bottles of the water.

I will bring a limited amount of the miracle water to the reunion and offer it for sale to those who really want�some, so bring lots of cash.�

From Richard:Hi everyone, happily married with 7 "kids", 4 of mine (one adopted) 3 of hers and none of ours. We live in the great up north (Minocqua, WI) and maybe when we get older, (after all I'm only 68) we will go south for the winter. We love it up here and I drive school bus, and my wife (Donna) runs an after school program at AVW Elementary school. So full time retirement looks like a long way off. Ohhh so you would like to know what I did before retirment, it's been a long time. MIT (now MATC) Carroll College, Allis Chalmers Tractor Lab, field insatllation Engineer for Nordberg Diesel Engines, drafted into uncle sugar's Army, Snowmobile and Marine Engineering at OMC, Snowmobile and Outboard Motor Engineering for Advance Reseach at Mercury Marine, Field installation Engineer for Fairbanks Morse Diesel Engines and 15 years as a power Plant Super in Bay City MI. makes me tired just thinking about it. It will be good seeing you all again

From Nancy:I have attended most of our class reunions and look forward to participating in the next one.

Presently, I live in a condo in Racine and enjoy basking in the wonders of my six grandchildren who range in age from twelve to three. To stay out of trouble, I teach several remedial composition classes at Parkside University and work with WISDOM, a statewide faith-based justice organization.

Whenever the opportunity arises, I travel. DC and New York are favorites.

Hope to "See You in September. . . didn't someone write a song about that?

I look back in amazement to think that I used to catch a bus at the post office about 12:15 am (after the Attic closed) which dropped me off two blocks from my house in Brookfield. . . never thought of being afraid.

I also remember Fanny Hopkins and her sargeant-like command of math class.
