Oakes Bristow, Mary	Milwaukie, OR
Osborne Hutsell, Kathy	Central Point, OR	Spouse:  Darold Children/Grandchildren:  Jay (Stephanie) They live in Central Point & have three daughters, Bethany (6), Joelle (4) and Abbie (1½); Tammy (Jim) They live in Medford and have two girls and one boy, Crystal (10), Nate (8) and Becca (6).  It is wonderful to have them close enough to see them frequently. CURRENT ACTIVITIES:  Spending time with the older members of my family while they are still alive to enjoy.  Spending time with grandchildren while they are still young enough that "Grandma" is still a person they want to spend time with. Enjoying my grown children & their spouses.  Caring for our home on an acre just in the city limits but with a great view of Mt. McLoughlin. Being involved with my husband in the activities of our church which will celebrate its 100th anniversary this Sept. Working 2 jobs. My full time job is Office Manager of Hope Christian Church and my part time job is bookkeeper for Ray's in Central Point. HIGHLIGHTS OF PAST 40 YEARS:  Marrying a wonderful Christian man.  Raising two great children that are now actively involved in their churches. Living in Washington, Oregon, California, East Tennessee, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Idaho during first 15 years of marriage. While we were back east we were able to visit many historical sites in DC, Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina. I loved seeing other parts of the country, but Oregon is still my favorite place.  My parents, Wayne & Flossie Osborne, have recently moved to Central Point. Dan was minister at Thurston Christian Church while I was in high school and spoke at our Baccalaureate Service. My mother-in-law moved from Nebraska a couple of years ago & currently lives with us. She is 96 and still cares for herself & her flowers. My yard looks so much better since she moved here. I may learn about flowers yet. 2-5-10     In July 2009, I retired from my fulltime job and went to work part time (4 hrs day 4 days per week) in October.  I enjoy keeping busy.       We now have seven grandchildren, 7 to 19.  One grandson and six granddaughters.     We still live in Central Point and continue to be active in our church there.
Page Smythe, Pat	Corvallis, OR	I confess to writer's block which occurred when I read Jack Stevens' short bio.  How can anyone improve on, "my greatest success is seeing my children grown up, happy and still loving me."    Anyway, I too, am very proud of my two daughters and am thankful they are happy, well-adjusted young women.  My one regret with leaving the East coast was not being able to bring them with me.  But I'm the Oregonian at heart-they are big city, Easterners.     We moved to Corvallis in August of 1998 when Robert was hired to chair the Statistics Dept. at OSU-Go Beavs!  I retired from teaching and am so happy just doing volunteer work (school, church, OSU Thrift Store, mentoring younger women).  I'm also glad for the time to spend with old friends and with my 85 year old mother-who still volunteers herself!  Hobbies include birdwatching, hiking, traveling, skiing, gardening and learning our new computer.  I really look forward to the reunion and thank all those involved in planning it-particularly Dorothy's efforts at setting up this website.  I think we'll all arrive feeling much more connected than we would have otherwise.  Thanks committee!

Pedersen, Jim	Tucson, AZ	The past 40 years rushed by too fast.  I attended University of Southern Oregon and graduated in 1966.  Started a career with Procter and Gamble that lasted 31 Years.  Retired last year and moved my residence to Az.  We still have a home in Oregon at the base of Mt. Hood on the Sandy River.  Our son lives down the street and keeps an eye on the place while we are in the sun.  Our daughter most recently moved here to Tucson and lives just down the road.  She keeps an eye on the place here while we are in Oregon.  Grandkids are the most fun things that have happened to us.  We spend as much time as possible with them.  As the old saying goes ("if I knew they were this much fun, I would have had them first").
Peetz, Jim	Beaverton, OR
Petersen, Rich	Tucson, AZ	2005:  I lived in Springfield off and on until 1992 when I moved to the Fairview (Portland) area.  I worked off and on for our family owned auto parts business until we sold out in 1987.  Then I went to work selling cars in Cottage Grove, Eugene, Springfield, and Woodburn. During the late seventies, I worked construction for Guy F. Atkinson Company out of South San Francisco on jobs on the freeway going into Oregon City, John Day Dam on the Columbia, Lower Granite Dam on the Snake River, and several large projects in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.   2006:  Just retired.

Plouse, Harry	Springfield, OR
Price, Gary	Springfield, OR
Prociw Skinner, Sharon	Bend, OR	CURRENT ACTIVITIES: Moving!! We¹re moving fools! The rewards of lasting friendships and experiencing the beauty of our country as a result of our moves is priceless. We¹ve hiked, biked, walked and driven through the extraordinary Arizona Sonora desert and Oregon¹s high desert plus varied places in between. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST 40 YEARS: The awesome experience of the birth of my daughter, Anitra, and my son, Brok, is in a category by itself titled, ³Miraculous² --the highs of all highs! Then next would no doubt be my second chance in life with my sweet man, Eric Skinner. His love and acceptance of the whole package (all three of us) has never wavered. We find each day we are given is special and precious whether its just the two of us or we are able to share it with our loved ones which makes it even more complete.
Pulliam, Mike	Alvadore, OR
Putnam, Dick	Springfield, OR	CURRENT ACTIVITIES: Still working 4 days a week (Dentist), run, spend time in the mountains with mules, keep busy on the farm. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST 40 YEARS: Our kids and then - the grandkids are even better - they go home at night.
