| What are you doing these days? Enjoying life, our family and friends. Dan and I just celebrated our 36th anniversary. We've been retired since 1993 and always thought we would return to Northern California. We found a home we loved and made the move in 2000. It's beautiful and peaceful and we love being back here. We garden, spend warm afternoons on beautiful Lake Shasta, travel east to see our children and grandchildren in Montana and Michigan, enjoy the outdoors, love to fish, used to backpack quite a bit in the Eastern Sierras. We're close to Mt. Lassen which is a wonderful place to cross country ski. I love to paint still and now have a nice studio to work in. We've been working on our landscaping alot and now are enjoying the fruits of our labor with more free time to play! Since I married my best friend we still love spending time together. Tell us about your children. We have three great children. Our son John is 34 and a Lieutenant for the State of California, Department of Fish and Game. Our daughter Evelyn is 31, married with two sons and a daughter ages 10, 8 and 6. She and her husband Rob live in Kalispell, Montana. Our youngest daughter Barbara also has two sons and a daughter, ages 10, 8 and 5 and they live in Michigan. Needless to say, we spend a little time on the road in order to spend time with those most precious little things called grandchildren. They are so special. Highlights of the past 40 years. We have witnessed incredible history in the making. I thought the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was the most traumatic event to happen. I will never forget Mr. Young returning to our Civics class in tears, announcing that the President had been shot in Dallas. We all spent the next several weeks in front of the television set barely able to believe what we were watching. But I would have to say the horribly evil and tragic events of September 11, 2001 have altered our lives even more. I get a sick feeling that too many people have forgotten what it felt like that morning when those planes flew into the Pentagon, the field in Pennsylvania and the World Trade Center and the people inside those buildings made the choice that jumping was a better option than remaining. We live in a different world now and I have to agree with Hugh, that we were so fortunate to grow up when we did. Things were so much easier then. Hopefully, we were able to pass some of that on to our children. Words of Wisdom to Impart? My husband's favorite. "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about!" Your funniest memory(s) while at PSHS. Well, I remember the party and the police station but thanks to Stevie for reminding me how exactly we got to the police station from that party! Of course, who didn't ride in Wayne Miller's hearse. And God love Eddie O'Dowd . . . . the officer who was questioning her asked her what her hair color was to which she replied with the straightest of faces . . ."You mean this week?" Then there was beautiful Lori Rowley who thought she was lucky to be standing by a sliding door when the police came to the front door. She quietly slid it open and pitched the contents of her glass outside. About 3 seconds later a policeman enters that door, wiping unknown liquid from his chest! I can still see Lori's expression on her face. Oh, too funny. The police were quite understanding. (I think they were laughing at how scared we were). Whose place was that anyway? General Unloading Done Here. Your choice of subject(s). Just a huge thank you to the dedicated Reunion Committee, who have done a fantastic job organizing all of this. This comment page was most enjoyable reading. Thank you so much for keeping us all in touch with one another. Isn't it amazing? |
