I divorced in May of 2003 after 13 1/2 yrs of marriage. I'm a proud dad of 2 wonderful girls ages 7 and almost 10. When I'm not working repairing equipment for NCS Pearson, I keep busy playing with my kids, and helping then raise bunnies. We all keep busy with Girl Scouts, soccer, basketball, and 4-H. I'm really happy now. Looking to share my happiness with someone in addition to my girls, but my first priority is to be the best dad in the world. Looking forward to seeing everyone in 2005 for our 25th!

Other: OK things have changed for me quite a bit since 2000. The Staff Development job was eliminated in 2003 after 21 years at Starkey Labs. But I think Gary Larson (1979) is still there working in the cafeteria. I since learned how to sell. So now am working as an independant sales rep actually brokering management and employee training. I work out of my house and the flexibility is great - now if I could make some money, things would be just fine. My wife Julie is bringing home the bacon currently - role reversal is something everyone should try.

Married 17 years and still the one daughter from Colombia, Laura now 7.

About the time my job was eliminated, we closed on a lakeshore home in NW Wisconsin near Spooner....Hi Marylee! We love going up there whenever we get the chance and we keep it open all year to enjoy in the winter as well as the summer. It is also where we came across our newest mamber of the family....the cat. A stray that just showed up at the door of the cabin. We belive he's part Manx and has a personality more like a dog.

Make sure an head to the 25th reunion so we can catch up!

Where Am I Living Now?: San Diego, California
Other: Wow!!! Twenty-five years since High School. It's been even longer since I've seen many of you. In between our Sophomore and Junior years, my family moved to Illinois. Kind of a drag. Took me a while to get my head back in the game. Worked at a few jobs after High School, then went to a Jr. College to become a Certified Medical Assistant. Worked at that for two years before doing the craziest thing--enlisting in the U.S. Navy. Have been in over 20 years. Absolutely love it. Been all over the world. What a wild ride.

I finally settled down in 1996 and married my husband, Anthony (Tony.) We have two awesome girls--Brittany, 15 (driving on her permit) and Cristina, 7 (queen of the world). They keep me busy. Brittany plays Sax in the Marching Band and is a member to the Associated Student Body while Cristina is "Miss Popular" so we're at some party or other event all the time.

I'm just a couple of credits away from completing my BS in Information Systems Management--but my new love is cosmetics. I am having so much fun as a part-time Independent Beauty Consultant, I can't wait to retire from the military and go full-time!! (Check out my website.) Makeovers for everyone:)

My commitment to the Navy has made it difficult to attend the past reunions. I'm thrilled to be able to attend this one!! See you all soon.

My wife, Siobhan, and I like to travel, we have no kids, and entertain. Our biggest events are our Christmas party, summer kick-off BBQ, and white river rafting every June.

Other: I've been married to Mark for 14 years. We live on 36 acres in East Bethel, and we now have two children: Christian (6) and Ellie (4). They are both adopted and very special. They are my main occupation right now--full-time mom. Both are homeschooled (add teacher to occupation), and we are enjoying it. I have been a consultant with Tastefully Simple since June 2002 and have been having a great time(add no-pressure sales to occupation). Each day is a blessing from God that we use to the fullest! When I have spare time, I enjoy gardening, biking, volleyball, fine dining and getting together with friends to chat for extended periods of time.

Other: First, congratulations to Teri and all who helped her. The party tonight was FANTASTIC. If you weren't there you missed really good food and a terrific photo show down memory lane. Not to mention a chance to catch up with all of us who did show up. And it really wasn't like any sitcoms. Really.

So, here's my update:
Married 20 years, separated almost 1 (long story, who cares?) 2 wonderful boys age 14 (going into 9th grade and HIGH SCHOOL!) and 12 (going into Middle school) this fall.

In May of this year I completed my Masters in Sacred Music from Luther Seminary/St. Olaf and have a new job as Director of Worship and Music at Glen Cary Lutheran Church in Ham Lake.

Still playing the ACCORDION (as many more of you remembered than I expected!!!)

I'm looking forward to the next chance to get together. Maybe a 78-82 Band/Orchestra/Choir reunion????

Other: I'm a senior principal design engineer for Alliant Techsystems. I've been there for 20 years. Its a challenging and rewarding job but its just a job, and I can easily switch to the husband/father role when I get home. Actually, that's my preferred role. Peggy and I have been married for 20 years and have 4 great kids - Tom (18), Megan (16), Mike (14), and Kurt (12). They pretty much occupy all of my time these days and I don't care.

I'm the former president and current director of traveling baseball for the Robbinsdale Area Youth Baseball Association. When I'm not coaching youth baseball or football, I like to fish, duck hunt, work my black lab, cut agates, and collect arrowheads. I love the high desert of the western US and travel to Wyoming every summer to indulge myself and create great memories with my kids.

Other: Finally I find the RHS page! It is very fun to read. After HS I went to Vo-tech in Hutchinson for motorcycle mechanics and then joined the Army anyway...My dad had a Harley dealership in Lakeville and then a repair shop on 34th and Lyndale, then moved it to Cedar and Lake St where I spent much of my time until about 1991. I was married in 1987 to a body builder that worked at Bally's as an instructor so I continued to workout as well. My son was born in 1988 just after we moved to east Bloomington then my girls in 1991 and 1994. I ran several auto businesses and then in 1998 I got Microsoft certified which kept me computer busy until Nov. of 2002. I was laid off and my wife also decided she was ready to move on...I live on Lake Minnetonka now and spend more quality time with my kids than I ever did. That's what kids really want! I worked at All Powersports last winter working on snowmobiles and had a blast and still ride Arctic Cat SnoPro race sleds. I sold the Harley show bike that was featured in HotRod Harley magazine in 1993 but still have my custom Low Rider (disassembled, but going back together). In closing I want to say that I had been faithful to my wife and God since 1988 and continue to trust that there is a purpose and plan in life for each one of us in our unique differences and I appreciate that about all of you!

I have a beautiful wife, (Kathy) to whom I'm married. We have 3 kids - Ryan (17), Amber (10), Lauren (8). They all attend school. I can't believe it's been 25 years....The '80's are somewhat a blur however, so I'll just call it my 15 year reunion. I caught a fish once. Hope to see everyone there.

Other: Hey sinners,

My last name is now "MacPhie." Long story, involving the government, top secrets and international intrigue. Not really.

It's the middle of 2008 and I thought it was time for an update. A lot of these things tend to get pretty stale. You can see most of my current info at my MySpace: www.myspace.com/nukestrike

And, no, I don't cruise MySPace for dates, it's in support of my more artistic endeavors. Anyway, I have three daughters, four grandchildren, I still go out and play rock on stage whenever I can (I don't care what you say, I STILL love Van Halen). I presently work as a portfolio manager for a precious metals firm in downtown Minneapolis and have several creative projects in the works.

I never experienced a mid-life crisis and never plan to. I really look forward to seeing people at the next reunion. The 2005 one was truly fun. If you skipped it -- and judging by the crowd size, some of you did -- you missed out.

Drop me a line if you want. I'll meet anyone, anytime for a beer and a couple memories ...

Your friend,

Rich

Sorenson, Todd

Other: I got married one year ago today (May 8th,2004) and 9 months and 3 days later we had baby girl, Mara Marie. She was almost a month early because my blood pressure was high, but all is fine now.
The nursing home I worked at for 22 years closed so I am kind of unemployed. I work 2 nights a week selling pull-tabs at the Bloomington American Legion and Motherhood (especially at age 43) is a full time job!
I still bowl on Wednesday nights and am the Executive Secretary for the Svenskarnas Dag (Swedish Day) organization.
My husband Dennis (he was at the 20 year reunion with me) and I moved into my Mom's house in Richfield - that would be the same house where there were many weekend "celebrations"!
I look forward to seeing everyone at the 25th reunion!

Other: Hey beautiful people
I will not be able to attend the 25th reunion-more on that-so this is my only means of contact with you all right now. I can't tell you how distressed I am over this-I want so badly to see all of you (and some more than others). So, please write me, call me and since you're reading this, let people know I'm still alive and kicking some royal butt!
I am still working at Fairview Southdale (x16 years) as a nurse clinician in the CV unit. I'm still the only blind RN actually working in MN and of about 4 in the USA.
I returned to school in 2000 and received an other BS degree from Barbara Brennan School of Healing. Now, don't laugh and it is true-I'm a healer-no, I don't lay hands in the name of Jesus or Allah or cast out demons. But my degree is in quantum physics healing.
I am now finishing the post graduate program at the school and I begin student teaching next fall. The school is in FL, so I travel there every month for 1 week and will continue to do so as an instructor. That is where I'll be on Aug 6, 2005.
I was divorced in 1994 from Rob and re-married in 1997 to Brent Nelson-Como HS class of '82. He also works for Fairview.
I have no kids of my own, but am a step-mother to Brent's 14 y/o daughter and this reminds me daily of why I didn't procreate myself!
I have Glenda, a black lab guide who is 10 and Onee my black and white cat.
My life is totally grand, guys, despite my unusual circumstances.
I wrote research protocol recently and am doing human research in the hospital using energy healings principles.
This stuff really works-so if you know of someone suffering from acute or chronic disease/pain/illness, have them contact me through my private healing practice:952.944.3552.
As an illustration, my diabetes is 75% resolved through this treatment-rock on!
I still talk with LaRae Emond-my bestest buddy from Jr high, connie Ellison and that's about it.
I miss a lot of you and wonder how Carrie Kuiper is, Laura Boyle, Theresa Larson, Scott Schuveiller, Julie Reid, and Cheri and so many more.
In my spare time we drive a 1959 pink T-Bird. I love to cook, give huge parties (get me your contact info), garden, write fairey tales, ride bikes and travel.
Lastly, my dad, Gene the barber, asked me to say hi to all of his customers-Andy, Jeff S.
You all still look 17 to me. I'm sad I won't see you. Big hugs.
Remember, the problem is not that we set our goals too high. The problem is that we set our goals too low, and then attain them.

Swanson, Julie

Other: Hello everyone! I thought an update might be in order, so here it is:

I'm still working for the same comp & benefits consulting firm in downtown Mpls (over 8 years now). It's now about 8 months since full recovery from my second knee reconstruction (one on each) due to downhill ski racing at an advanced age. I'm also still playing softball, broomball, as much golf as possible, darts, and anything else that keeps my orthopaedic surgeon off the welfare ranks.

My family (wife Julie, daughters Maddie and Josie) is doing very well. Julie loves her "new" position at Target Corp, the girls are exciting athletes for Edina (and Richfield....it's a long story) fast-pitch, swimming, hockey, and basketball teams. It seems we're constantly traveling for sports tournaments (mine and their's).

Life is very good for us right now, and I hope the same is true for each of you. Give me a call if you want to hook-up for a beer or two!

I live in Mesa, Arizona with my husband, David, (my high school sweetheart) of 21 years and my two daughters and pet poodle-Andy. We live nearby the Superstition Mountains and The Lost Dutchman Mine State Park.

We moved here three years ago after spending 15 wonderful years in River Falls, Wisconsin.

I would love to tell more. but want to hear from all my good friends out there who I have lost touch with. Please e-mail me and lets chat.
