2001
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.. |
|
2011
Since 2001 several things have
changed in my life, besides getting older. I have finally retired
for good as of Aug. 31, 2007, and I can’t remember why I wanted to
work those extra years after I retired in 1994. It must have been
for the money. I am still gardening both with flowers and
vegetables. No golfing right now because of knee problems but still
lots of reading. Still enjoying time at the coast but no trips to
Reno, guess I can go locally to gamble and lose.
The two saddest things that have
happened are that my mother, whom several of you had for a teacher,
passed away in 2006, and Ken, by husband of 28 years, passed away in
October of 2009.
The best thing that I have done
is to buy a house in Glendale Arizona close to my son and three
grandkids, all the better to spoil them. This way I have a place to
go when the rain and fog and cold get to me. Sun and warmth are far
better. However I still love Oregon.

2011
The last 10 years has
been a new chapter in our life.
In 2002 Tom had a aortic aneurysm and was forced to retire. This
was quite a change for him. After he got back on his feet he
did real well. He took over the household chores, had time to
do things at school with the grandchildren, volunteered at
church, counting money, teaching religious education, visiting
the sick. We feel very blessed that he came out of this as most
people aren't that fortunate. I got very spoilt. When I
came home from work dinner was always ready and everything
around the house was done. |
|
I
retired 2 years ago and now we do the volunteer work together.
We have made a couple of trips back to Nebraska and do some
trips to Idaho to see family and our friends Bugs & Ted Kammeyer,
also to Eugene to see Laura & Gary Price. We like to get
together with both of these couples a few times a year. We
enjoy having them come to our home or meet at the beach. We
still love the Oregon Coast. We always have such a good time.
Our kids both live close by. We have four grandchildren, we
don't know what life would be like without them. We enjoy them
all so much. The three younger ones are into sports and we try
to go to all of their games. Our oldest graduated from college
and lives and works in Seattle.
We are looking forward to celebrating our 50th Wedding
Anniversary in June.
We
are still Duck fans as is most of our family!!! |

2011
I still work full time. I’m shipping
supervisor at a lumber dry kiln mill. I’m not married now but have
a special friend in my life his name is Martin. I have 3 daughters,
17 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren
I live in Ferndale, Washington. Ferndale
is ten miles south of the Canadian border. We have 5 acres and
raise some chickens and goats.
Fifty years have gone fast. After high
school I spent the first 14 years raising my girls. Then I worked
at a cedar sawmill in Bellingham, Washington. In 1996 the mill
burned down, and I went to the mill I’m at now. I drove forklift
loading and unloading trucks, also doing lots of paperwork with
lumber crossing the border into Canada. You know the government
likes lots of paper work.
Besides work I’m busy keeping up with
the grandkids sports. I have spent many hours at soccer games as my
granddaughter started soccer at age 6 and played school soccer on a
select team winning state and on to regional’s twice. One in Las
Vegas I went to, and then on to college ball. I also have done a
lot of time at basketball games with 2 playing school ball.
Between sports, birthdays, and holidays
it’s another full time job. I love to travel and Hawaii being my
favorite place, but Las Vegas and Reno are close behind. With 4
casinos within 30 minutes of my house I don’t see Las Vegas much
anymore.
I’m looking forward to the 50th.
This will be my first reunion. And I will also get to visit my
brother and family as they live in Springfield.

2010
The past ten years have been busy and very interesting. We were in
Shreveport, Louisiana ten years ago where Earl was Dean of
Centenary College of Louisiana. In '02 he became Dean of
Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, one of only three remaining
all male colleges in the country. It is the 10th oldest college
as well, opening in 1775.
We loved living in Virginia. There is always some
historical site or home to visit. We adjusted to living in
humidity, which is awful in Virginia, but worse in Louisiana.
We reluctantly left to return to Vancouver, WA in 2009 when Earl
retired, and we are now living in a retirement community where
we built a house in the mid-90s. Now we are adjusting to rain
and the east wind. What a difference living with a bunch of
"old" people is as opposed to living on a college campus.
We have become involved with committees here and play
golf and bridge on a regular basis, but the thing we do most is
travel. In the past ten years we have been to China, Tibet,
Cambodia, Spain, |
Gibraltar, Peru and the Galapagos, Egypt,
Jordan, Holland, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia,
Albania, Montenegro, Greece, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras,
Belize, Syria and Turkey. We also spent 4 months on our boat
cruising from the Chesapeake Bay up the Atlantic coast, the
Hudson River and the Erie
Barge Canal to Lake Ontario and back again. We have driven
cross county twice. Next year we will spend a month in the
southern parts of Africa and in January of '12 we will be going
to Antarctica. I am making videos of our trips and with each one
I learn something new. It is a time consuming process. I am also
still very much into genealogy, which can be an all-consuming
pass time if one lets it. We are blessed to still have both our
mothers. My mom was 95 in October and still lives in the little
house where I grew up. My grand- children are 16 and 14, live
in Spokane and are doing wonderfully well.
Life is good for us right now, and we are
thankful. |

Widowed
Children/Grandchildren: Julie & Marc
CURRENT ACTIVITIES: Structural Alignment Therapist, long distance
running, hiking, scuba diving, kayaking, theater, opera
HIGHLIGHTS OF PAST 40 YEARS: Most certainly the birth and maturing
of my children. My professional growth from Recreation Therapist to
Physical Therapy Assistant to Certified Aston Patterning Practitioner and
countless continuing education to teaching. My travels to New
Zealand and Tibet. My work with Special Olympics and Children's Hospital
Camp.

2011
The highlights of the last ten years have
certainly been the expansion of our family with the marriages of
both my children. My son-in-law, Adam, and daughter-in-law
Carrie have brought wonderful new dimensions to our family. My
daughter completed her Master's in Marriage and Family
Counseling and my son completed his Doctorate of Physical
Therapy. The greatest gift is we all live in the Seattle area
now. And now just this December I have the gift of my 22 month
old granddaughter, Kadi, who was adopted through the foster care
program by Julia and Adam. I can now join so many of you who
know that being a grandmother is just the greatest.
|
|
As for myself I am
sorry to say that I have been widowed again as my beloved was
killed in an accident while flying an ultralight. I continue my
professional life as a therapist working with the emotional
issues as well as the physical as a body is changed by
accidents, disease, disability, age, stress. I say I am
evolving toward retirement, but then I find another class that I
just must take. Aside from my professional career, I continue
to enjoy redesigning my garden, hiking and swimming for most of
the year, skiing in the winter, biking in the summer, scuba on
vacation and theater and dance throughout the year. I continue
to travel as much as possible with great trips to Peru (
including Machu Pichu), Galapagos Islands, Argentina, Costa
Rica, Israel, Ireland, England, Netherlands, India. Tibet has
continued to be a highlight for me and I was able to follow this
last year with a trip to Bhutan. Scuba diving with my son in
Palau and Yap was also pretty special. I am looking
forward to making the 50th Reunion as I have never been able to
attend in the past. |

I remain active in church, a leader in a grief share
support group. I stay actively involved with my 30+ kids that I am
grandma to. The granddaughter I raised since age 12 is now a junior in
college in Michigan. She’s wonderful!
My latest project of involvement is an orphanage in Uganda, sort of been
on the starting of it financially and this past year collected (from
church and others) cans, bottles for refund going toward books and
school supplies. So I spend several hours a week on that. ($1,051 in
2010)
I have just moved my mother to Forest Grove after her being gone from
Oregon for 25 years. She keeps me busy.
I retired three years ago on my 65th birthday. I won’t
forget what I was doing that day! Worked at the hospital for 33+
years. I now enjoy my days being busy, but on my own time.
My present husband is a retired dentist. (2 other deceased husbands)
That is where I get most of my grand and great grand kids. I am only a

Germany, and Maryland. I was able to take an inter branch transfer to
the US Public Health Service in Sept 1983 and was transferred to Miami with
the Coast Guard. for five years. Inspected cruise ships for two years
and then I found an assignment with the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Wash

In Sept of 02, my last
correspondence, I had just started a new job with Idaho OSHA
that was after a two year break from Oregon OSHA. I told
Carol that after two retirements and two years between jobs
this would most likely be my last employment. I was right.
In Sept 04 I retired for good.
The last 9 years have been very good to me. Carol and I
have been fishing a few lakes in Oregon and we have been
having a ball at our cabin up above Blue River Reservoir. I
still have our mining property and had a new cabin built in
the Summer of 09. Snow did the other cabin in. It was a
bear moving all the materials down the trail by atv, all
6,000 lbs. It is 16 ft by 20 ft with a loft and has a
Gabriel Roof to ward off the snow. I built a sky bridge from
the loft over the upper window so I could get a nice view
and keep an eye on all of the animals. Added wiring for a
generator last year. It was worth all the work. Now I
enjoy the wood fired hot tub, humming birds and chipmunks.
I even do a little mining. We have big mining plans for this
summer. I have an ATV with snow tracks so I can visit during
snow periods. The Forest Service keeps a close eye on me
since I have the only cabin in the Willamette National
Forrest. Our nieces
had a great time fishing for chipmunks. We tied peanuts to
a string and stick dragging them all over the place.
Last winter we traveled to Arizona. We will be staying at
the Happy Trails Resort in Surprise, AZ this Jan- Apr. I
will be prospecting with the AZ Road Runner Prospecting
|
My new cabin picture |
Association. Carol and I
enjoyed rock hounding and fishing the Colorado River by the
Yuma Marine Corps Recreation Facility. Carol has been very
busy making her own style of jewelry and silver smithing.
We are also doing yoga almost every morning. We did
pick up a sufficient amount of rocks while in Az. During
the early spring months we comb the Oregon Beaches for
agates which Carol uses for making jewelry.
I have been very active playing in pickleball and
racquetball torments. I have been playing in two or three a
year. In 2011 my partner and I won the World Senior Doubles
in Racquetball. The tourney was in Burnaby Canada. In 2012
the tourney will be held in Honduras. This June I will be
traveling to Santa Fe for the doubles tourney and then Oct
on to St George to play pickleball and racquetball in the
World Senior Games, maybe I can work in table tennis too.
Nov. I will be participating in the military racquetball
retired and active duty championships. Competition is set
up in 5 year increments. I am competing in the 65-69 age
group but can't wait for the 70-75 when I will be the young
bull in the woods again! I was picked up by a local
sponsor last year which was pretty exciting at my age. I
hand out fibromyalgia wrist bracelets and wear his Official
Fibromyalgia shirt in tournaments. Pretty tough job.
The four kids are doing great. Christine is an Electrical
Engineer employed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. She is a
Commissioned US Public Health Service Officer with the rank
of Lt Commander. She will be retiring with 20 years service
in Oct 2011. Bobby is a Civil Engineer and completed 10
years flying the Cobra Helicopter with the Marines He is now
flying several air frames with home land security in
Bellingham, Washington. Allen was in the Air Force as a
pararescueman and also served as a Combat Controller. Allen
has been working in security overseas with Blackwater.
Between contracts he has taken a yoga trainer certification
course in India, a certification driving course in Taiwan
for tour operators. Allen has also taught English as a
second language in China and recently received his
undergraduate degree in economics. Karen is happily married
and is a housewife in Dayton, Oregon.
We are anxiously awaiting the warmer weather so we can do an
extended stay at the cabin, pick huckleberries along with
all of the other wild berries. Of course we are
looking forward to the reunion.
I wish you all health, happiness, and spiritual awareness.

2011
Things don't always go the
way you think they will. Retired from Monaco Coach in 2008 and needed
something to do so I did volunteer work with DHS for a while. Oldest son
Mike lives in Providence, R.I. and works for Cox Communication. No kids
from him. Other son Theron lives in Seattle with his wife Jennifer and
our only grandchild Ethan. Theron is a teacher of physics and math at
Kirkland Prep School, and Jennifer is a librarian at a private high
school in Seattle. We still have the home at Crescent Lake and try to
spend some time up there. I will start volunteer work with the
Springfield police dept. in about 1 -2 weeks. I just had back surgery in
November and it went really well no pain at all now. We found out the
end of May my wife has cancer of the brain and the lungs. Lungs seem to
be clear now, but having trouble getting it all in the brain. Still
hoping they can control it.

2001
CURRENT ACTIVITIES:
While I continue to engage in some Executive Search and Recruiting work,
my primary interest is in the development of Restore America, a non
profit project directed toward the Christian Community nationwide.
The web site www.restoreamerica.org
tells the story. We have two sons, Taylor (30) and Stephen (27).
Taylor is married to a wonderful Irish gal, lives in Sarasota, Florida
and has his own construction business. No children yet and I keep
telling him I am not getting any younger! Stephen, our youngest,
is still single, a terrific athlete, handsome, and wending his way
through his twenties with the most aggressive female generation I have
ever seen! So far....well, we won't go into all that!
Merrily works retail at Meier and Frank, is a people person through and
through and has had to put up with three men in her life for going on 35
years. I am not sure how she has done it, but our hat is off to
her.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST 40
YEARS: Running track at the University of Oregon; Meeting and
Courting my wife (Merrily Utz) at Arrowhead Springs with Campus Crusade
for Christ; Serving as a Naval Officer during Viet Nam; Young Life Staff

2001
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. |
2010
My wife and
I have three children ages 49, 43 and 40 years old. We also have 10
grand children so we spend a lot of time going to sports events and
watching. My wife does the airplane trips with the Red Hat gals and
I do mine driving with a friend of mine to various places. I really
do miss the old days and the fun we had riding bikes, playing
marbles, flag football and all the rest. I looked through My 56
annual from S.J.H. and some of the people who wrote in it such
as Russ Harris, Darlene Hollister, Jim Varney , Brendu De Rieux,
Daryl Cross, Chiaro Dezio, Bill Guempelien, John Hales, Beverly
Cowles, Owen Quinn, Fred Dellinger, Linda Carpenter , Byron Brown,
Marie Bates and several others. I guess my point all this I surely
would have had a good time if only I could have stayed in
Springfield but then I would have missed out on what I have now. I
hope to see some of you in August.
