Upon
finishing High School, I entered College and gained 20 pounds! I
transferred and finished with a B.S. in Occupational Therapy at Colorado
State U. and lost 10 pounds. My first real job was in Hartford Conn., then
onto Baltimore, Maryland at John Hopkins Hospital for two years in
Psychiatric O.T. with an awesome on the job experience. That was followed
by 3 months tramping through 9 countries in Europe, via the Euro-rail and
hostels. Then back to the West Coast, (the more friendly territory to a
westerner). San Jose was the first stop. Dorothy (Naylor) Stanley
recognized me and took me in. Since 1971 Northern California, south of San
Francisco on the Peninsula, has been my home. Dorothy introduced me to my
first husband, and we wisely purchased our home in 1974. Two beautiful
daughters were a result of our union, yes a divorce, (minus 10 pounds) and
then his untimely death in 1996, (thatıs when the last 20 pounds came off
and stayed off!) January 1999 was the finish of my first career, HMOıs
and now Medicare cutbacks required a change of careers. It was back to
college and retraining in Early Childhood Education, let me tell you
teaching and chasing 9 to 10, 3 year old for 40 hours/week does not allow
joints and muscles to become stiff! In my experience, activity, diet and
relaxation are the secrets of l-o-n-g life. Even better yet, is that close
intimate relationship with
God himself, for he has always been my safety net when the road was long
and the going tough. I hope the same conclusion has been your experience.

CURRENT
ACTIVITIES: Working at Springfield Utility Board (35 years). Hunting trips
with brother and friends as often as possible. Working on the landscaping
of our new home. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST 40 YEARS: Hunting trips to Colorado, New Mexico, Alaska and N.W. Territories, Canada--Hunting for Elk, Caribou, Moose and Dall Sheep-- Some encounters with Grizzliest. Vacations with Darlene and my brother and sister-in-law to Hawaii, Hong Kong, Canton, China, Thailand, Australia, Venezuela, Singapore and Malaysia.
Written by Larry's wife Darlene Adams
Goats
Larry's brother traveled the world on business and earned free air miles. He and his wife would use the miles to go on overseas vacations. They always had lots of extra miles so, in 1988, they started asking us to go along with them...free airline tickets and either business or first class seats. Before our first trip, I went to work at Bi-Mart on Mohawk during the Christmas season to earn money for our vacation. That turned into 17 years before I retired in 2005. I was the receptionist for 14 years and worked in the pharmacy my last 3 years. I kept working just so we would have extra money to go on vacation whenever the occasion arose.
Our first trip was to Thailand,
Hong Kong and a one day trip to Canton, China. What a culture shock for
these two naive Oregonians! We loved it all though and were hooked on
travel from then on.
We have since been to Australia,
Venezuela, Costa Rica, Caymen Islands, Singapore, Malaysia, Hawaii and
several places in Mexico. In 2002, I went on a European cruise with my
Mother where we toured several European countries. The highlights were
Berlin, Germany and St. Petersburg and Moscow, Russia. Seeing the
remains of the Berlin wall and standing in Red Square by the Kremlin was
surreal. I couldn't believe I was there.
After I retired, we went on a
Mediterranean cruise that Wayne and Kathy Howard were on, too. We went
to Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Greece, Santorini and Turkey. Several
highlights on that trip were the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Acropolis,
the Parthenon, the Colosseum, the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel.
Larry is scheduled to retire
January '09 after 44 years at Springfield Utility Board. In May of '09,
we are going to South Africa for hunting and sightseeing with his
brother and wife. After that, we hope to do more traveling in the U.S.
and lots of camping with friends and family. We have 6 grandchildren
and one great granddaughter. They all live in the Hillsboro and
Prineville areas. We hope to take them camping and fishing as much as
possible since they don't get to do a lot of that now. Their idea of
camping is to stay in a yurt and take along the X-BOX. We won't be
taking the X-BOX! Larry is an avid hunter and has been hunting in
Alaska and Northwest Territories. He hopes to do more of that in the
future, too.
We have truly been blessed with
good health and a wonderful life and are thankful that we met each other
35 years ago. We know God was watching over us and it was meant to be.

I have three sons. My
youngest who is 22, is living at home and is a great help to me.
I'm
working 4 days a week as a Mental Health Program Assistant for Easter
Seals Children's Guild. I enjoy gardening, singing in the church choir
and love to travel. The most memorable trip was to Switzerland in '92
with a Work & Witness Team. Other more recent trips have been to the
Cook Islands, a cruise to Alaska, Maui for Christmas, Cabo San
Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Cancun and most recently Mazatlan where I
fell off a banana boat at high speed! Sure won't forget that very soon!
I'm
looking forward to the reunion but will probably only be coming to the
Friday night event.

I joined the service with Bob Jones after high school. After the service I lived with Dewy Gardner, Jack Hathaway and Rich Tennent. After several evictions due to loud noise I moved home and started school at L.C.C. I then moved to Ashland to finish school. My classmates at S.O.C. were Dave Hollandsworth, Bob Jones, Don Herman, Mick Risher and Eldon Hilficker to name a few. I married in 1973 and my wife Kate and I have one son and two daughters. I have worked for Pepsi Cola since 1974. I truly feel blessed for the life long friends I made at S.H.S. |

CURRENT
ACTIVITIES: Love this retired feeling. I spend a lot of
time just puttering around outside and re-painting the inside of the
house. I guess you could call it re-furbishing an old fixer-upper.
Bonnie works as an LPN so I pretty much have the place to myself
except for our Persian Cat and 2 Pomeranians that we have.
