Ward Carpenter, Linda

 


Wolftown, VA


After many years in California, we decided to try something
totally different.  We moved to a Virginia farm that sits between
Jefferson's Monticello and Madison's Montpelier.  We love this historic area, yet are only about 1 1/2hr. from Washington. The last 3 years have been spent  establishing gardens which I love to tend  and, hopefully, this year they will be mature enough for me to recapture in watercolor.   Life is good.

CURRENT ACTIVITIES: Teaching writing at Portland Community College, Making quilts for children at Emmanuel Hospital, Traveling, Reading, Playing games with grandchildren
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST 40 YEARS: Raising the children and enjoying the grandchildren are the biggest highlights. Larry and I moved to the Portland area in 1060. We love to travel in the United States and Europe. In the spring of Œ99, Larry taught at the University of London, so we rented a flat for 3 months and had a great time. For 16 years Išve taught at Portland Community College - great students and colleagues. The time has gone fast - a great 40 years!

Willis, Fred

 

 


Springfield, OR

 

Wow!  Forty years ago in June we all had our dreams and goals as we left SHS and THS behind.  It is amazing to read on this website the routes our lives have taken.  Aristotle once said " Different men seek...happiness in different ways and by different means"  It certainly appears the class of 1961 has had many different experiences in our quest for happiness.
    I married Tonya Leathers and together we have experienced happiness with our family, children, grandchildren, and friends.  Life is "truly good". 
    I am basically retired now.  Just finishing up some commitments after
thirty five years of mathematics teaching and teacher union activities.
Looking forward to taking advantage of life after work.
