Other: Update
Retired in June 06. Wife is undecided about retiring, but hopefully it will happen in the next year or two.
Enjoying time spent with two grandsons immensely. Our daughter was tragically killed 8 years ago, but the cycle of life is renewed with these little guys, and we are so blessed.
Hobbies; still tinkering with antique autos, spending time at the lake, hunting, fishing, and somehow trying to spend more time in Arizona during these frigid Winters.

After only a short period of time living in CA they were involved in a terrible car accident. Thankfully little 2 yr. old Cheryl survived without a scratch but Lynn suffered major trauma.

Unable to live on her own my dear sister has lived in a care facility ever since.

We started our own business in 2002, late. It's been doing well and we're in our second year. We restore and resurface concrete.

I am still an artist at heart and went from designing for the craft industry and being certified with two trade organizations to now playing in the mud! I have a concrete art studio and create some pretty neat things with cement.....yard art I like to call it.

We would love to have you drop by if you get out our way. There's plenty of room with the kids gone and plenty of room for campers/trailers/motorhomes, etc.

Other: Hello--I have had an anything but dull life. I have lived in 3 other states. New Mexico for 21 years. I have 2 children John Jr age 27 and Pamela age 25. I have 1 beautiful grandbaby Ethan who is 2 1/2. I love being a grandparent. I graduated in 1985 from college . I have been Medical for most of 18 years. I am no longer working now as I have inherited some health problems. I am single and pretty much enjoying it better than my past disasters. I will be moving up to the Mountains to finish this lifetime out and I am really looking forward to being able to take my shoes off and sit down. I am a very spiritual Christian but not a Bible thumper. I have copped the attitude that I dare to be my old Flower Child self. I wear neon colors every chance I get. My child is safe to come out now and its a lot of fun. I dare to be different and really am not affected by what others think. I talk a lot and I entertain a lot. I have continued my singing in Church and have belonged in a trio called Trinity. I have also sung Sweet Adelines and New Mexico Womens Chorus. I love Gospel music--especially the Gaithers. I was country for many years and now its Gospel and Easy listening. I have been having Senior Moments once in a while but I have not totally lost it yet. I love it when I goof up and I say--"OOOOPS--I had a senior moment" Works every time. I'll shut up now, but I would love to rememinisce with anyone who remembers me. Very Sorry I will not be able to attend but I would have loved to see some old familiar faces. HAVE A GREAT REUNION. Alice B Bailey

Where Am I Living Now?: San Juan Capistrano, California
Other: Hi Everyone! I was disappointed to have missed the last reunion, and would love to hear some stories about it. Life has been generally good---have lived in Southern California for the past 30 years, with 5 years in Hawaii before that---obviously avoiding snow banks! My husband, Gil, and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversay this year----we have had a great "ride", with a passion for ocean sports fishing that has taken us all over the world. He had a world record marlin of 1062 1/2 lbs! My largest was only 540! I worked as a Commercial Real Estate Broker, and Gil was a orange farmer, as his family settled much of the area, going back to the Spanish Land Grants. We have been retired for years, and I took up golf, as we live on a golf course. However, we will be moving in the next few months to another home here in San Juan Capistrano, that I am remodeling now to accomodate some live-in help. Gil's health includes dementia, so that is why I need some help, and want to keep him at home. Got thrown a huge curveball last month, with a breast cancer diagnosis for me----I've had the surgery, and am now embarking on the lovely journey of chemotherapy and radiation. But I have a huge amount of support from friends and family, and my attitude is good, so hopefully, these awful drugs they pump into you will work!

Other: I married in 1982 and moved to California. Since then, we have lived in Virginia, Texas, Southern Alabama, and now Northern Alabama, next to Huntsville. We didn't want or have any children. I became a Registered Nurse in 1993, and am one of the few RN's in the USA who actually likes her/his job. I miss Minnesota fishing for walleyes, but Alabama bass fishing makes up for it. I would like to return to Minnesota for the 40 year reunion, if anybody lets me know when and where it will be. I wasn't exactly a social butterfly in high school, but I do recognize a few names on the list, and I would love to hear from you.
