Where Am I Living Now?: Minnetonka, Minnesota
Other: After graduation, I attended the Univ. of MN, studying pre-med. I got married in 5/69 to Tom Greven (Edina '66) and moved to Colorado. We had our son, John, in 11/70, and bought a home in Richfield in '71, when Tom's army stint was done.
My son and I moved to So. Cal. in '74, and I stayed there until 1995. While there, I was married for 8 years, I was a regional manager for 17 B. Dalton stores, I owned an interior landscaping business for 11 years, I managed large retail jewelry stores, and even was a dispatcher for a helicopter flight school where I took flight training.
Since returning, I've been a retail Regional Mgr., and now manage a great little store at Mall of America. I am also a tilesetter, and do considerable subcontracting on the side. (I tiled an entire new home for one of the MN Vikings.) I designed and built my own home in 1998, near Ridgedale. I did much of the work myself, and am still working on the small details.
I have two adorable (aren't they all?) grandchildren, age 2+ and 18 months, as of 04/03. My favorite pastimes are reading, motorcycling, landscaping, rollerblading, skydiving, and getting together with great frineds. Come to our August reunion, I'm sure it will be a blast! Life is really grand... isn't it?

Other: I graduated in 1972 from the University of Minnesota with a BA degree in Sociology. With little opportunity locally I moved to Sydney, Australia for two years gaining a wealth of experience working for General Motors in Human Resources. I moved back to Minnesota for a while and then spent 17 years in Atlanta where I met my wife of 15 years. (Didn't get married until I turned 38) We have two boys, ages 12 and 14 with my oldest having a wealth of talent in composing music. Check out his web site at KorellKreations.com.

I find myself as the Worldwide Director of Sales for a company called American Power Conversion, (Broadband Division only) and have grown to despise all travel. Go figure.

America rocks and God bless the boys and girls fighting for democracy all over the world. Vote Republican!

I was a flight attendant for United 1972-1992 (daughter of NWA pilot) and volunteered in my sons' private schools and at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Seattle until recently. I'm currently a full-time student, finishing my coursework for a MA Mental Health Counseling.(This is no small task at age 57!) I will have a one year internship in 2008. My program is amazing and life-changing--should have done this years ago!

I take care of my 86 year old dad, who we moved out here six years ago after Mom's death. Though he lives independently, he is increasingly dependent as his cognitive function declines along with his severely-impaired vision. Tough for a former pilot. Tough for me.
