June 6, 2009
I was planning on making it back there. I'm really sorry I'm missing it. But my oldest daughter is in town from the east coast, and since I see her rarely these days, I wanted to stay in here in Portland.
Jo just finished up medical school at Johns Hopkins and will be staying there for her residency in dermatology.
My other daughter, Caitlin, is in her first year as an investment banker, working for Lazard in London. Unfortunately, we see her even less. It sure is nice to have skype to be able to visit with her.
We moved up to Portland from Los Angeles 13 years ago because we wanted to raise our daughters somewhere other than LA. I spent 10 years helping coach softball; Caitlin was recruited to play at Colgate.
Professionally, I'm still a geek, and am doing software. Currently, I'm working for a company that sells web categorization software that tries to help keep the net safe for children. It's an odd world out there -- we're seeing sites that teach kids how to hide cutting and bulimia from their parents.
Now that our children are raised (best thing I ever did), I've started picking my instruments up again more. I'm playing clarinet is a local concert band, and playing jazz rhythm guitar in a couple of jams around town.
Hopefully, I won't have to wait 20 years for the next reunion.

I plan to attend the 40th events and will bring my current wife. BTW, this is not my wife in the photo!! Advanced age has brought the wisdom to clarify such issues when it involves your spouse!! After a few false starts, I ended up managing commercial real estate. Drivers licenses in seven states, with two states twice. I have lived in the New York City area (CT/NJ) for the last 22 years and worked in or out of NYC during that period. I have stories about Manhattan including 9/11/01. After my second period of unemployment in five years, we have decided to relocate to KC. So, I hope to schedule some interviews when we are in town for the reunion. Two grown children from first marraige and no grands. Looking forward to catching up. Now, I just have to lose 20 lbs by June!!! Send Drew a Message

I went to K-State to become an elementary teacher, taught for a few years in Washington State, and went back to K-State for a Ph.D. and became a professor at KSU, Ball State, and Southern Illinois. Back in Kansas City now to help my mom and be close to my son, Luke and daughter, Missy & two grandchildren. So now, I am teaching at what I call the 'last best place" William Jewell College.

Well, my parents told me to go to college, as all parents do, but they failed to tell me what to do after college. So, I am still here at the University of Kansas teaching in Computer Engineering. I live north of Lawrence in the countryside of Jefferson County. I have two daughters, Anne and Arielle. Anne just graduated from college and is seeking her dancing career in Chicago. Arielle is a sophomore in business at KU. I've lived short stints in the Bay Area, Ann Arbor, Washington, DC, and Zurich, but have always come back to my Kansas home. It's so good to see the old names and I look forward to the stories we have to tell.For those interested, I've scanned the SMN '69 Indian (yearbook) and it is at: http://www.prairyerth.org/SMN69_Yearbook/. (A few pages are missing and I'll fix that.) Send Gary a Message

Still alive, kicking and working. Still playing with cars & motorcycles. Too stupid to retire and like what I do, so I'll just keep on doing it. Living the dream in Overland Park and go down to our little cabin at the Ozarks often. Send Steve a Message

Can you believe it has been 40 years? I am sure there will not be many that will remember me. I was one of those that came into SMN in my senior year. I was a transplant from the Missouri side of the river. I do have fond memories of my year in choir with Mr. Young. He was a great teacher and enlightened me to my gift of singing. Since that time in high school I got married and with my husband entered the seminary for The Salvation Army. After graduation we moved around to many different church homes including Minnesota, Illinois, back to Kansas, then back to Illinois. I have three beautiful children, Jamie Curry, Shayna Stubblefield and Brandon MacLean. I have been blessed a second time after the passing of my first husband, with another loving husband and we are currently living in Kokomo, Indiana pastoring The Salvation Army church. My husband David has two children...Thom Moffitt and Christina Reeves. We are proud to have 7 1/2 (soon to be 8 in July) grandchildren. God has been good and has blessed my life. I often look back to those innocent years we spent in HS and wish I could have known then what I know now...but I guess that is what comes from experience and age. I will not be able to attend this reunion but pray God will bless you all.

I live in Georgia, just outside of Atlanta. I'm married, with one grandchild (not sure I could handle any more). Glad to see everyone is doing so well.
