    Married to Nancy Holmberg-East, 8 great years.  We each have one child.  Nancy's daughter Kate works for King County in Seattle in the environmental field.  My son Eric is working on an acting career in San Diego and LA and has appeared in several movies and TV series.
   We spent 20 years living in Anchorage, Alaska and return for visits
every year.  We like the easy winter months in the lower 48.  Not sure if I would live there in the winter again.
   Spend any free time traveling around Washington and BC as it is in our backyard, quick trips to Victoria and Vancouver BC are easy from here.
   Nancy and I own a business in Port Townsend, WA, McKenzie's Coffee Co. & Deli and Port Townsend Chocolates.  We make our chocolates and fudge by hand.   
   
   We completed a new home in February over looking Discovery Bay and the Olympic Mts with great views and sunsets.
   Future plans are to sell the business and travel.  Probably develop another business.  I don't think I will totally retire as we are to young yet.  That's all for now Folks.

My wife and I now live in Bend, Oregon.  I am retired, after working in the newspaper industry for about 26 years.  I received a BS degree from the U of O in '71  , spending 15 years working for several newspapers in Alaska as an account executive.
3-15-05 I met my current wife Laraine in Fairbanks, Alaska.  We married in 1986.  We worked together at the Fairbanks Daily News Miner for six  and one half years.  Leaving there in 1991 and moving to Anchorage , Alaska.  Over the years we have moved several times. Fairbanks, Anchorage, and Eagle River, Alaska; then to Seattle, Washington, Centralia, Washington, and finally Bend, Oregon, where we are now.  Between Laraine and I, we have 11 grandchildren, three of whom live near us. 2 in Sunriver, and 1 in La Pine.  We love our grandchildren and enjoy them very much. 
    After graduating from Springfield High in 1961 I went to the University of Oregon; in 1963 my GPA fell below 2.0 and I received my draft notice.  I was able to get into the Air Force in Dec. 1963 and was lucky enough to spend three and a half years in Europe.  The Azores, and Germany.  While in Germany I traveled a lot, visiting France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Holland, Denmark, Austria, Italy, and of course Germany. I got out of the Air Force in Dec. 1967 with the rank of sergeant and finished college at the University of Oregon in Jan, 1971 with a BS in Journalism and I spent about 26 years working in the field as an advertising account executive for several different newspapers in Oregon, Washington and Alaska. 
     I am currently retired (but I still work 28 hours per week for Walmart). 
     I wish I hadn't waited so long before contacting classmates on the internet.  I was able to reconnect with an old college roomate of mine thru this site (John Hales).  It was great hearing from him after so many years.  Perhaps we will be able to meet up again some time.

 


Esgate Trueman, Pat

Surprise, AZ
The past 15 years, I have been living in St. Charles, Missouri, due to
my husbands job.  Prior to that, I lived in the San Jose, Ca. area for 20 years.  I have four children and 3 grandchildren.  My kids are strung all over the country.  One son lives in Wisconsin, with his family, the other son, lives in Sacramento, Ca.  One daughter lives in Ypsalanti, Michigan, and the other daughter lives, just a few blocks from us.  Most of my married life, has been spent at home raising kids, but every now and again, I'd work, to keep us out of the food lines, due to strikes.  The past 7 years, I worked at a fabric store, and taught some quilting classes.  I've sewn all my life, and would probably be insane by now if it wasn't for sewing.  GOOD THERAPY!!  I'm trying to help get our house ready for sale, so when my husband retires, we can move from here to Arizona, to the old folks farm. I'll be at the class reunion, and am looking forward to it.

CURRENT INTERESTS: Kids, Grandkids, sewing, knitting, crafts, square dancing and watching auto races (NASCAR is my favorite) Jeff Gordon is my favorite driver and traveling in my 5th wheel. 
   THE LAST 40 YEARS! I have three sons (Lynn, Jef and Tim) They have given me three super daughters-in-law and five grandchildren (Sarai, Kyler, Tyler, Kayla and Kody). I worked for the State or Oregon for almost 29 years before retiring in 1998. The last 17 years were spent at the University or Oregon with the Chemistry Department as a Graduate Recruiter. In October of 1992, I met Corky Howard. We married & spent 7 great years together. We enjoyed traveling, square dancing and watching auto races together. We traveled to Mexico twice (once on our honeymoon), the Bahamas, St. Louis (to a National Square Dance Convention), and to Reno (square dance festival). After my retirement in 1998 we traveled in our 5th wheel with our friends to square dance festivals and other outings. In 1999 we left Springfield to head south to find our favorite place for our winters. We spent 6 weeks just looking for the perfect spot (we found several we liked). One of our stops was Las Vegas for the NASCAR race. We met my two sisters and their husbands and had a wonderful weekend there. (We actually ran into Lyle Fox there, too!) Upon our return to Springfield in April, we repacked our bags and left on a seven-day cruise to the Caribbean visiting 5 islands. What a great trip! When we returned to Springfield again we discovered that Corky had cancer. He died in July 1999. Life has been pretty hard since then because he really spoiled me. I have continued to square dance and travel in the 5th wheel with our friends. I have returned to work part time at the University of Oregon where I work in accounting in the Institute of Molecular Biology.  I am looking forward to the class reunion.
