Classmates Info

Give us your "history" since graduation, kids, grandkids, great-grands, favorite things you have done, places you have been, add a recent photo - then we will know what you look like when we see you at any planned events - we hope you will plan to attend.  It's nice to see how we have "matured" over the years.  So keep updating and adding events in your life as they happen.

Comment: I married in 1983 and have two daughters and one grandson. We have lived in Arizona for the past 27 years. I enjoy being home. I keep busy feeding and having bowls of water for the wild animals, quail, doves and hummingbirds. Occasionally deer and coyotes come and drink water. I saw one elk eating our bushes. I don't travel only to Fruita. I enjoy life.

I married my college sweetheart and we celebrated our 51st anniversary  this summer.  We have 5 wonderful children, 24 grands, (10 granddaughters & 14 grandsons) and 4 great grandsons.  Dave worked three years for Boeing Aircraft and we added two girls to our family, then we both returned to college.  Both of us graduated from Brigham Young University in secondary education, and we settled in Lebanon Oregon.  I was able to stay at home with our children until they started graduating from High School, and then I chose to substitute teach to help with college and their 2 year experiences as missionaries for our church. We lived in Oregon for 41 years, and then moved to Boise, Idaho near our youngest son and our youngest grandchildren.   Life has been good to us, and we love retirement!

Comment: I am retired and Louise and I just celebrated our 50th Anniversary.  We have two children, 7 grandchildren and one grand puppy.  We will be thinking of you as you meet while we are on a Baltic Cruise in celebration of our 50th Anniversary. It was scheduled for June 30 so we could be there, but Louise had some temporary medical complications that forced us to reschedule; hence, the absence.  She is fine and we are still enjoying life and the enjoyment of seeing what great parents our kids are and what wonderful grandkids we have been blessed with.  I'm still making sawdust and still have all 10 fingers and thumbs so it has been successful.  We try to keep active with family, friends and a variety of social activity.  Volunteering to give back while we can is important to us and very rewarding.  We thank God every day for all the blessings we have had.  I will be looking forward to reading all about the reunion and each of your stories.  I also am sorry that I will not be able to provide M & M's for Joe Barcus as rumor has it the candy machine ran out and is empty.
