Current Activities:   Golfing in good weather, sewing outfits for horseback riding for Lauren and Allison, reading just about anything but science fiction, gardening in good weather, visiting the grandkids in Arizona, and just enjoying retirement
Highlights of the Past 40 years:   I got married in 1961 had two children then divorced in 1975.  Married Ken in 1981 and inherited 3 more kids.  I have worked in banking since 1965 retiring from full time work with US bank in 1994.  Now I just work 2 days a week (which I am finding harder and harder to do especially in the spring and summer when it is nice outside).  We spend a lot of time at the coast at a vacation home.   Summers always include a trip to Reno.  Sometime during the year at least 1 trip to Phoenix to see my son and grandkids. 
This doesn't seem like very much but the years have been full.  Now what...

Curtis, Lee


Hood River, OR

   I don't know if any of you remember me as I only went to school at Maple 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade and the last half of the 7th at Springfield Junior High.  I graduated from Wy' East High School in the Hood River Valley in 1961.  I did the U.S. Army for 3 years, tried Alaska for a few months in a logging camp then back to Hood River.
   My wife and I were married in 1966 and have 2 girls and 1 boy, 8 grandchildren and one more due in august 2002.  We're still working toward retirement can't wait for that day.  (The public sometimes is very demanding.)  We have a small motel, RV park, and a laundromat which keeps us very busy most of the time.  We take separate vacations as one of us has to be here.
   I see that Frank Tester and I have the same hobby collecting coco-cola and other soda memorabilia.  I do see Bill Guempelein every two-three years and I would sure like to hear from anyone and if you travel through the Columbia River Gorge, stop and see us.
