Dennis' wife wrote me and I asked if I could share her letter with you. ---- Yes, you may share my letter with others and my
email address with those that are battling Alzheimer's as
well. Perhaps we might be able to help each other as we
face one shocking/crippling phase after another.
Sadly, Dennis has
Alzheimer's and is losing ground very fast. He's had a
wonderful life with me and the kids. I just got the HS
Reunion post card and thought you should know. Please
remove his email address as he's unable to do that any more.
God's blessings to all those that are still alive and well
and have their minds. Alzheimer's is a BRUTAL disease,
mostly for the family. I was reading what Dennis wrote
several years ago when he was so "alive". I want to
remember THAT Dennis.

I remember sitting in Mr. King’s class of my senior year thinking I
would never be divorced. Guess what I was. I also saw women
who were just a little bit over weight and swore I would never look like
that. Ha Ha!! It’s really wonderful to gain knowledge and
mature. What seemed so
important then is no longer.
I have two
children, grown and on their own. Both are doing well. Kevin lives
here in Springfield and works for Qwest and also deals in real estate
some. He's got himself a Sprint racecar and is waiting to be able to
race in Cottage Grove. Kimberly is doing very well.
Kimberly lives in San Diego and just bought herself a condo.
God has blessed her with a wonderful job.
She works for two commercial real estate brokers, who can’t live
without her. She gets all of
their presentations ready for them and gets all the information they need.
She’s also leaving for Paris to visit a friend she went to school
with and was in college with.
Both of my
parents are gone. My Mom died just a year and a half ago. It's
still hard. I took care of her for the last four years of her life.
I feel so privileged to have had all that time with her. She was
someone very special. I miss her.
I'm
now working for Visions Technology In Education doing sales. I've
been with them since January of 2000.
Waiting to see what God would have me do for the rest of my life.

WOW – 50 years – we
have all changed. I finally retired in 2002 after 40 years 3 months – (so
the Certificate said)
I still live
in Eugene and happily in SongBrook – a gated, over 55 community.
I have become a “joiner” in Sons of Norway,
an Altered Book Club and for a brief time an Orchid Club. Just recently I
took training to become a State Certified Ombudsman. I think this latest
venture will be very satisfying and I will make a difference.
My three children are all healthy and happy
in their lives – and the grandchildren count has ended at 10.
I have a
calico names Zoey and at this writing a 4 month orange tabby named Henry.
They are lots of fun and keep me busy. I am looking forward to this reunion
and the 55th – and as a final note – in May of 2010 I walked and
finished a ½ marathon, not planning on doing that again this year… |

WHOA! I can’t believe 50 years have actually
gone by since we graduated. Where to start and yet make this brief……
After high school I went to OSU and
graduated with a Pharmacy degree and licensed in three states. In 1964
Terry and I were married and eventually had two children. We are now
blessed with three grandchildren. YES—we still travel and do a lot of
camping: mountains, dessert and of course the ocean. We are both retired
now and thoroughly enjoying our time. I have started a new business of
photography and watercolor. I am located at the Tacoma Freight House Art
Gallery and do Art Festivals during the year. Terry has learned to cut mat
and frame, so we are both involved.
Our life is now family, art camping
travel. Best of all is the FAMILY. |

I have 2
children. I have 2 granddaughters ages 21 and 7. The 21 year
old
is expecting in March. Her first and our first GREAT grandchild.
It is a
boy. That really makes me feel old. Is due 4 days after my
birthday so I'm
hoping it will be 4 days early. Nice birthday present. I will
have to
travel to Montana to see them.
I have worked for the same company for the last 31 years.
I started as a
jack of all trades and have worked myself up to being in charge of
managing
the computer system.
My company (WVCO) purchased a new software package and computer
system last
year. I have since been going to school to learn it and to teach
others. I
was (still am) one of the core team members. We went live on the new
system
on February 1, 2001 in the northwest (Eugene & Medford). A total
of 4 sites
plus corporate. It was a "BIG" success. It
took a lot of hours and team
work to pull it off but we did it. I was so elated when I went home
that
first night I could have shouted from the mountain tops.
We are moving forward now to implement our southwest sites.
One in
Alexandria, Louisiana and one in Conyers, Georgia. I will be doing
traveling in April, May, June, July and our go live for there is August
1st.
I have already told my boss I have to be home for the 10th and 11th.
He
said it shouldn't be a problem.
After we finish up that install Willamette Valley Company
will be complete. Then we get to start on our subsidiaries. We have one in Idaho, one
in
Canada with 2 sites, one in Louisiana (a big undertaking) and one in
Chile. Hopefully the owners of the company will not buy up any more acquisitions
until we are finished. I think our work is laid out for us for a
couple of
years. Is that job security? I also still have to keep
the users happy on
the old system. Dual jobs but not pay.
It has been a big learning experience and goes to show you
are never to old
to learn something new.
Not sure when I will be retiring. I really like my job
and the company I
work for. And the money and benefits.
Hope to see you all in August. |

2010
Another
year gone by the way side. It was 50 years ago that we were thinking
about graduation and what we were going to do after that. Were we
going on to college, going into the service or getting married. Some
of us probably took some time to re-think our lives.
I think
all in all, my life has been good. Got married, (not so good the first
time), but got it right the second time. Have 2 kids, 3 granddaughters,
2 great granddaughters and 1 great grandson.
My husband
Gary had a heart attack in February 2010, but is doing fine. My health
is pretty good so far. The normal aches and pains, but nothing major to
complain about.
|
Worked for
a wonderful company, doing what I liked to do. Working on computers and
doing programming for a lot of years. Then got into the analyst end of
things and enjoyed that also. Solving more problems and helping others
learn financial software and doing training. Retired after 38 years, on
April 1, 2008. Did a little consulting afterward and did a web training
session a few months after retirement. Have been asked to return this
year and help out with the software upgrade with hours of testing. I
haven’t given them an answer yet, but I probably will if they will let
me have my time for camping, etc this summer. We are planning a
trip to Montana this summer to visit grandkids if they don’t come here.
I spend a
certain amount of time each week doing things for my mom. I feel very
fortunate to still have her with us. She just turned 98 on November 30th.
She still lives by herself and takes care of herself, but needs help
with heavy housework, window washing, etc. Also do all her shopping
and transportation to and from appointments. I sometimes wonder how I
managed things when I was still working. It seems I am always running
somewhere and doing something.
Go to
class campout every year. That is great fun seeing everyone. Girls
monthly luncheon is also enjoyable.
Retirement
is great, and looking forwarding to seeing everyone at the class
reunion. Hope everyone can make it.
