Baumgartner, Jim


Eugene, OR

     After graduation I thought I would be an architiect, but the Uof O said NO WAY??  They had no sense of humor!!   I started in the car business and have been at it every since.
     I married Sally in 1963 and have been fortunate  that she did have a sense of humor !!!!!
      We have one son Jamie,  his wife Paige and two grand daughters , Jane age 12 and Sally age 10.  They are in Thousand Oaks, California.
     Our oldest daughter Jodie, her husband Ike and two grand sons, Ben age 5 and Sam age 2. Fortunately for us they are in Eugene.
     Our youngest daughter Shawn, her husband Joe and two more grand sons, Jordan age 11 and Jared age 9. They are in Bend.
     With all the activities of the kids and grandkids, we stay awfully busy.   Fortunately I still find time for some things that I like to do such as traveling, golf, gardening, OREGON athletics, fishing, wood working, working on our class reunion, spending time with good friends and about any other fun things you can think of.
     I will be looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion?????

CURRENT ACTIVITIES: Locomotive Engineer - two years till retirement if all goes well. ....Bicycling, swimming, hiking, canoeing, X-C skiing
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST 40 YEARS: Married at 20. Divorced at 28. Single parent for the next 13 years. Remarried at 41. Most of the best times come after 40 on wilderness trips, backpacking or canoeing. A parachute jump was another memorable experience. Chasing down a purse snatcher at age 50 (he was 18) made all the hours in the gym and on the trail really worth it.

CURRENT ACTIVITIES: Išm involved in several volunteer activities. My leisure time is filled with gardening, reading and golfing. We are enjoying traveling.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST 40 YEARS: Continuing many of the friendships I had while in school. We have shared many of lifešs passages and it always gives me comfort when we get together.

Bogart, Doug


Lakeview, OR

I have been in Lakeview since1971. My brother and sister-in-law (Rosela Thompson Bogart) and I owned a department store here. A few years back, due to health reasons, we sold it and I have been  an assistant manager of a grocery store.  I love the  hi-country and I am busy all the time rock hunting, fishing and hunting which I had to give up a few years back.  I do some saw painting but past year not a lot.  I'm evolved in Saint Patrick's Parish here and being a small town everyone knows everyone.  It is kinda nice, (mmm most times)  I hope to be able to come in August but I will have to wait till the time comes.      
Warmest Regards to all.

 


Brainard, David


Florence, OR

CURRENT EVENTS: Family is our top priority; next comes work, which luckily, we both enjoy. For reasons of health, we moved to the coast three years ago. I took leave from the Carpenters Union. I built our house on Siltcoos Lake, finished a B.S. in anthropology (U of O) and am serving my tribe (Coos) on our Council and through cultural projects.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST 40 YEARS: I attended the U of O, taking 3+ years of math in the 60šs. I trained to be a carpenter and earned 1st place in the Oregon State Carpenters Completion Contest, 1974. I worked as a carpenter foreman for many years, along with building a house and cabin. Met Judi and married. I graduated from the U of O in 2000; the same year I sold my first artifact replica, a leister spear, to the Forest Service at Reedsport.

My wife Pat and I have been married for 37 years and live in Lake Oswego.  We have 2 kids, 5 grandkids and my son Chris is my partner in Founders Financial Group in Lake Oswego. We are all active in our church with my son serving as a deacon and my daughter active in Womens Ministry.  We stand in amazement at Gods great blessings in our lives and daily give Him thanks.  I was previously in banking for 20 years, but escaped 18 years ago.  Thank God!  My wife and I belong to Tualatin Country Club and both play as much golf as possible.  Our two older grandkids (Meagan 16, Zachary,15) both have gotten involved in golf and are good (somebody has to be)!  My wife is a gifted artist  (dollmaker and now quilting) who has collector clients all over the northwest.  We are Duck football season ticket holders (20 years) and have been to most of the bowl games.  GO DUCKS!!  I am a member of the Oregon Alumni Assoc., and  Duck Athletic Fund.  I was reminded of the strong bonds of our classes when my mom passed away in October and a number of you contacted  me (having heard about it through the grapevine) to offer your support.  Thank you all! Hope to see you all at the reunion, and to all of you who have worked so hard on this, my sincere thanks and appreciation.
