Keep your profile up to date by returning to this page often to add more information.

Comment: I have one son, Peter, who is working on his Doctorate at the Engineering Deptartment at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland.  Although his undergraduate and Masters are in Economics, he is working on Sustainable Energy for Developing countries and frequently travels to Malawi and Kenya, Africa.  He recently became engaged and will be marrying Madalina in Romania next year.  Looking forward to having him back in the USA sometime in the future.





Still working at Boeing - now as a Staff Analyst and still enjoying the work.  I'm an avid hunter and love to fish.  New found fun - hunting for chanterelle mushrooms in the woods.





No matter what will plan on coming to the 50th reunion.

Comment: Anxious to get together to renew acquaintances with those special friends and classmates from days gone by!! 





We (Dave and I) continue to live outside the city of Portland and enjoy farming our Xmas trees along with our more basic jobs - teaaching for me!  





We spent 10 years building a log cabin, near Manzanita, OR which we enjoy many weekends each year. 





Our kids are grown.  One married, living in LA and the other just finished college and is nursing, also in LA.  We visit often. 





Many thanks to those people who have, once again, organized this wonderful event.

Comment: After the reunion in 2000 in Jan of 2001 to be exact my husband of 29 years decided to leave and start a new life with someone else. After the shock settled a little I decided to (as the song goes) pick myself up, brush myself off and start all over again. I had never lived alone so that took some getting use to. In June of 2001 after 35 years in Yakima I packed up a U-Haul and moved to Spokane to be near my family. My youngest daughter followed so everyone is here now. My oldest daughter (Shannon) is married to a great guy (Jason) and they have made me the proud Nana of twin grandsons (Liam & Owen) who were 5 in May. They are way smarter then I was at 5. My youngest daughter (Jill) has a great guy (Brian) also and they are "discussing" marriage. I have been at my job for over 2 years and hope to retire from there in not too many more years.  The saddest part of the last 10 years was losing my mom to a rare form of cancer in Oct of 2004 after 5 1/2 weeks. She was always so healthy. Shocked the whole family. Hope to see everyone at the reunion.
