From Rosemary:I left Waukesha in 1964 after marrying Bob who was in the Navy. I spent 28 years as a military wife loved every minute of it. The travel was great and a great way to get to see the world. I recently retired from the City of Oak Harbor. That was an awesome place to work. We have 2 children, 3 grandchildren and the cutest great grandchild in the world. He is the apple of our eye. We don't get to see the kids grandkids or great as often as we like as they all live in Texas.

From Marna:

Stan and I have been married 46 years in August. We have 2 sons and 4 grandchildren and live in Kentucky in a small community 13 miles south of Lexington. We came 45 years ago for our jobs and stayed because we enjoyed our work and loved the community and the area. We are very involved in our church and our community. I started working several days a week at a fitness center after I retired from teaching and am down to 1 day a week now but I enjoy it so much that I'm not ready to quit!
When I see all of the smiling faces of dear friends of long ago, I'm sad that I cannot come to the reunion. I hope you have a wonderful time getting reacquainted!

Birthday:May 20, 1942 Occupation:business owner Marital Status:Married No. of Children:1

From Roger:

After graduating from UW in 1966, my first stop was the Twin Cities. In 1970 I moved to Northern Virginia (DC area) where I have lived ever since. I have been married to Susan (took me awhile to figure out how the love and marriage thing worked) for 34 yrs. and we have one son, Chris, who is 28 and lives Arlington.

I still haven't figured out how to retire yet so I am looking forward to the re-union in hopes of receiving some helpful tips from my more successful class- mates. Tim Davies is my hero - he is the first one, to my knowledge, who was able to retire.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the ride and look forward to seeing you all in September.

From William (Bill):I have been living and working in New Mexico since my dad was transfered here in August of 1957. I have always been disappointed that I didn't get to graduate from WHS as both my brothers did, especially after watching the WHS South building being constructed.

My wife of almost 46 years and I have two sons, two daughters-in-law (one from Janesville) and one granddaughter.

Unfortunately, due to a prior and long-standing commitment (my Highland High School, Albuquerque, 50th reunion, I will not be able to attend the WHS South reunion. But I have certainly enjoyed the web site, all the photos, and the info on some of the people I grew up with.

I would love to hear from anyone that might remember me.

Now

Birthday:September 07, 1942 Occupation:Retired Marital Status:Married No. of Children:2

From Jeanne:

I still live in the Waukesha area and retired about five years ago. My husband, Bob, just retired this month. We had a double celebration for both his retirement and the renewal of our marriage vows. (25 years) We hope to do a little traveling and utilize our condo more in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida.

Between the two of us, we have four children and six grandchildren who all live fairly close to us, so we are blessed to see them often.

In my spare time, I sing with a barbershop chorus, Crosstown Harmony, and have been doing that for the last 30 years. We are a competing chorus and have traveled all over for regional and international competitions. It is so much fun to meet and sing with women from different countries. We are part of Sweet Adelines, Int. whose motto is to "harmonize the world."

I am really looking forward to the 50th reunion - especially since I have never been to one before. See you in September!
