Chris (Anderson) Echardt

It seems as if it has been a very short 40 years since graduation. I have enjoyed so many wonderful experiences during that time. Let me start with what I am currently doing because I am having the best time of my life. It will probably come as no surprise to anyone that I am still in school - only this time as an adjunct professor for the Master of Science in Legal Administration program. I teach an accounting class for law firm administrators in the fall as well as strategic planning and financial administration for the courts in the spring. The program offers both on-line and on-campus classes, and I teach both. It has been so rewarding to watch students grow and progress throughout the semester. My day job is with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Coloardo where I am the Custodial Officer and Appeals Deputy. I have been married to Al Eckhardt for the past 21 years, and we have seven grandchildren to keep us busy! Between football games and soccer, we have quite the time. Al has his own business and is a medical massage therapist with a practice in both Louisville and Longmont. Yes, I do get to enjoy the benefits of being married to a therapist! Al and I have enjoyed participating in the Fat Tire Classic held at Winter Park for the past eight years. We spend quite a bit of time mountain biking during the summer, and we ski during the winter months. Yes, I have forgotten to unclip my feet from time to time when we are on our bikes, and I have had some pretty amusing falls - at least amusing to those watching! Prior to completely changing my career to the legal profession four years ago, I was a Store Manager for King Soopers for a little over 20 years. If any of you have worked in retail, you can appreciate the desire to make a radical change at some point in time. I learned a great deal about running a successful business enterprise during my career with Kings, and I feel fortunate to have had such a good experience. However, I can't say that I miss the hectic schedule or the crowds of people prior to every holiday. I would love to join all of you for the reunion; however, I will be on a business trip to Phoenix over the weekend. I hope that you have a wonderful time, and I wish all of you well.

Jean (Axelson) Alfano

I have lived in Phoenix since 1974 where my husband of 34 years, Charles, has been an Ob/Gyn doctor for all that time. We have two wonderful children. Our son, Matt and his wife Amy live in San Jose where he is the Sr. Director of Business Development for Wyse Technology and Amy is a manager for Cisco Systems. They are expecting their first child in March. Yeah, we finally get to be grandparents. Our daughter, Dr. Kristin Koush, and her husband, Greg, live in Houston where she is a third year Pediatric resident at Texas Children's Hospital and Greg is a third year law student at the University of Houston. My "job descriptions" have been rather varied over the years. Most recently, I coached a girl's high school tennis team for six years before getting back to my true profession. I have worked for the last nine years with my husband in his practice as an office nurse- the pays not great but the perks are outstanding!!! He will be retiring from private practice in March and becoming the Vice President of Medical Affairs for St. Joseph's Hospital. I haven't decided what my job will be after that. I have a passion for golf so certainly plan to play a lot more. (My handicap is 16 and I've had one hole in one!) We are sports fanatics and attend Coyotes, Diamondbacks, and Suns games. Once my husband retires for good, we plan to travel and become the "wandering golfers" playing as many of a long list of courses as possible both in the states and abroad. Looking forward to the reunion!

Richard Beauprez

40 years gone fast no doubt, I am looking forward to seeing everyone. Raised two fine sons, Matthew 29, Martin 24. Matt has worked for Vail associates 4 years lives in West Vail, still single, has a good life so far. Martin is married, does construction management for Gerald Pipes
construction, he and Shannon, 1st grade teacher, have a nice home east of Brighton, no kids yet, Dad is very proud of them all. However, I do have two stepdaughters, who are good young ladies, from my second marriage, Brittany 19 and Deserve 20 who has a son Wyatt 10 months old and expecting a second, so I am a grand pa if I want to be. I had appendices operation and left hip replacement in the last five years and a farm sale and a second divorce. Physically I am good, farm sale and land sale turned out to be a blessing, 2 years later, 02 the irrigation wells were deemed illegal, because of the drought. I was married to two fine women, Leslie 19 years, mother of M and M, retired teacher, lives near Loveland and remarried to Terri who is retired. We still visit a lot because of our sons. My second wife of 4 years, Teresa, 15 years my junior, worked with me at the farm 8 years, harvesting lots of hay, beans, corn. We also played hard, in between hauling hay to five states. She kept me young if you know what I mean. I am finally learning that the only constant is change, nothing is for sure! ,except for me trying to be a good person and good to others! Now I am riding, still motorcycling and snow skiing and being with all of my five kids when I can! Baling hay in four eastern Colorado counties, with several business associates, also 2 trucks, one to Texas and back 3 times a week, also my shop for a lot of repair work my brother, Roger and I do, 7 miles west of Fort Morgan just off I 76.

Leroy Boddy

Attended Hygiene Elementary School: 2nd through 8th Grade. Started Longmont High while on crutches. It’s multi-level buildings were a challenge with a broken ankle. Avoided most classes associated with the liberal arts.Helped my father with a small retail business after classes, until late in the evening, so I did not attend many school activities, nor belonged to school clubs. Attended CSU for a year. Joined the Navy before the Army could draft me.After attending many Navy electronics schools, I married a Greeley girl, who was a friend of my brother and sisters, all attending UNC. I call it an arranged marriage.We were stationed in Bermuda, UK for four years and our first son was born there. My job duties were maintaining oceanographic and communication equipment, but on the weekends my wife and I served as a volunteer youth leaders at a local church there.After the Navy we moved to Loveland, Co and I worked for Hewlett Packard for many years as a manufacturing technician. I had quit HP once to start a business and eventually tried several businesses, but finally went back to Hewlett Packard for another 12 years. When HP laid off everyone (in 2001), I found different truck driving jobs, from over-the-road, to propane delivery, and now I move construction equipment from one job site to another. Still happily married to the same person for 37 years. We have lived in the same house for 28 years. We have three children and twop grandchildren. I like old cars and antique tractors, and politics. I am interested in co-sponsoring a multi-year reunion of the old Hygiene Elementary School. Looking for other old Hygiene students to help with it.

Paul Boehm

I am looking forward to seeing some of those young teenagers who left LHS in 1966. I am certain that some of us have aged just a little. I am gratefully and happily married to my wife Dee (Delores) for 36 years, have two children (Stacey who is a veterinary assistant in Omaha, NE and Kevin who is a family practioner in Lafayette, Co), and have three marvelous grandchildren. I have practiced small animal medicine for two years in Phoenix and 32 years in Littleton, Co. I have had my own practice for almost 20 years. I have been richly rewarded with many blessings and very few trials. I hope the rest of you can say the same! I hope to hear from those who shared those Trojan moments. Paul (hahpmb@netzero.com)

Darrell Boyle

My four years at Longmont High School were my only years in Longmont. Forty years is a long time for memories to lie dormant and I was amazed at how much came back to me while talking to old friends at the reunion.  We have lived in Saratoga and Los Gatos, California for the last 23 years. Lauren Reeves Boyle and I met at Colorado University and married in 1971. We have two children, Kelly (30) and Conor (27), neither of whom is married. Both live in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Although I retired from my strategic consulting practice in 1998, I am very active in a number of organizations, including serving as chairman of a conservation organization focused on protecting wild streams and native fish. Also I am the CEO of our family cattle ranch in Monterey County. We just completed a conservation easement on the ranch with The Nature Conservancy. I am a board member of the San Jose Software Business Cluster, a non-profit incubator supporting some 30 start-ups. I have been on numerous private and public company boards and have served as an officer and board member of the youth mentoring organization, Brothers and Big Sisters.

My work experience in Silicon Valley focused on building new markets, products and companies, including executive positions at Microsoft (PowerPoint), Electronic Arts, and Forethought (FileMaker), and strategic consulting for many technology leaders including Apple and Xerox.

Prior to entering the personal computer software market in 1983, I spent ten years directing the new business marketing and development efforts at two industry leading consumer products companies. O. M. Scott & Sons (Ohio), known for Scotts branded lawn products, and W. Atlee Burpee Company (Pennsylvania), makers of Burpee gardening products.

Although I read a lot, I generally look to the out of doors for fun and particularly enjoy fly fishing, float trips, skiing, and mountain biking and also travel. Our ranch serves as a magnet for the family and we spend as much time there as possible. Lauren and I have an amazingly large number of local friends who also went to CU (although we didn’t know any of them at that time) who share our love of wild settings and rigorous activities. I know it seems there are a lot of Californians in Colorado these days, but I can tell you the opposite is also true. Thank goodness.

I received a BS from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1970 and an MBA from Capital University in Columbus, Ohio in 1976.

Ron Burgess

I received a BA from CU in 1970 and a BS in Business in 1972. I studied at the Universidad De Mexico in the summer of 1969 and Mike Landers and I spent the summer of 1970 traveling Europe together. Upon graduation from Business school, I opened a retail store at the University of Denver. Later Dave Boyd joined me in the business. We owned and ran, Old Soft Shoe, Chelsea Lane and Burgess Boyd stores in Denver and Fort Collins. I was offered a consulting position with a national retail consulting firm, in 1982 and eventually moved to California to the
headquarters. Dave continued to run the retail stores, but later bought out Longmont Dairy. After a short time in Tulsa I became Director of the Administrative Services Division for the company, where I trained consultants and developed new products. We moved to Southern California in 1984. I started my own consulting practice in ’89 and continue to work with companies in the area of strategic marketing and marketing management. One special client I have enjoyed is Longmont Dairy Farm, working with Dave and Susan Boyd. This has kept me connected to Longmont and the front range since that time, although all my other clients are in California. I met Molly at CU; we were married in Schenectady, New York in 1973, and remain married with three grown sons and two grandsons. Molly and my oldest son Jon started RedFusion Media in 1998. It is primarily involved in website design and content maintenance; however it also supports my clients to execute marketing campaigns. Molly works with her writers and designers, while Jon manages his webmasters and technical people. This is a very fast paced and challenging business that requires managing both creative and technical people, but is usually fun each day.We live and work in Redlands, which is about half way between Los Angeles and Palm Springs in an area called the Inland Empire. Redlands is a blend between Longmont and Boulder, we live in a century old home in a historical district and walk four blocks to our office in the historic downtown. With the ocean just 45 minutes away and a stunning mountain view (well in the winter anyway-no pollution), it is almost as nice as Colorado!

Ted Chandler

After graduating from LHS I attended Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado (southwestern part of the state). It was there that I met my wife, Darlene.

I married her in 1967 and we resided in Durango for the next two years while I continued going to Fort Lewis College. After attending FLC for 3 years I transferred to CSU. We had two children, Denise and Klint. After college, I worked at Dave’s Welding while raising my family. In 1988 we had a chance to move to the ranch my wife grew up on in Ignacio, Colorado (near Durango) and so we did. We raise Angus Hereford cows and quarter horses. When time lets, I team rope with our son in his arena. My son, Klint, is married and has 2 children ages 8 and 4. My daughter, Denise, is married and has 3 children ages 13, 10, and 6. Both of my children and grandchildren live on the ranch by us and have for the past 15 years. Along with ranching, I work for the LaPlata County Road and Bridge where I am a welder and a mechanic.

Nancy Drake (Swisher)

Married James Drake July of 1967 making our home in Longmont. We have two sons that we are very proud very proud of and they have added 5 quite active grandsons to our close knit family. December 1977 we moved to Greeley Colorado so that we were close to Jims Job. I worked with the Greeley police department, and then worked for 10 years with Clarkson Land LLC. Our sons and their families also made there homes in Greeley. In December 2003 we retired and moved to Lake McConaughy buying our home there with 10.33 acres.

The view of the lake is fantastic! Retirement is great (twice the husband and half the money! HA! ) We are blessed to have both of our mothers with us, and every days brings a new adventure! Jim loves his space here and his new barn, and as the saying goes "A plump wife and a big barn never did any man harm." Life is great thanks to God!

Don and Carol (Monseu) Davies

I know I’ll never get Don to sit still long enough to do this—so you’ll just have to trust me. After graduation Don had the opportunity to play baseball at Western State College in Gunnison. I quit school just a few hours short of my degree (what was I thinking?) and went to work in Longmont until Don and I were married in 1969. We lived in Gunnison while he finished school. Our first daughter (Dawn) was born there. We came back to Longmont in 1971 and he joined the Army Reserves. We had a son (Brad) in 1973. Our third child (Tami) was born in 1974 and our youngest (Lori) was born in 1976. I started a home day care in 1973 and helped raise many kids over the 30+
years in that business. I also worked at a bank as a teller and in
research. I am currently working for Richmond American Homes. I started that job about 20 years to late. Don worked for Edson Express, and Sherwood Enterprises the first 30 years and he has been working at Woodward Governor in Loveland for the past 10 years. He plays golf regularly and fishes and hunts with his son and grandsons (Oh yeah---the very best part of our entire life so far! The grandkids!!) We have 4 and one on the way. All of our kids are college graduates and I call them our greatest accomplishment.
Dawn has her Masters from CSU and is a middle school counselor in Denver (crazy girl) and she is also fluent in sign language, Brad has a degree from Cal State and is a Marine Biologist and works for National Marine Fisheries Services that is a branch of NOAA in CA. He also illustrates Children’s books (and drew our Trojan Mascot), Tami is married to a youth minister that just took a new job as a recruiter for Nebraska Christian College. She is using her degree from Manhattan Christian College to raise her three kids (2 boys & 1 girl) while they make their way in a new state with a new job. Lori is using her degree in Child Development from Pacific Christian College and CSU to raise her son, and wait for the 2nd one. Lori’s husband is an architect in Longmont. As for travel and excitement—we were married at the church by the high school and have lived in 4 different homes within a ½ mile radius of LHS for the last 35 years & that should tell you something. Our travel consisted of van caravans to tournaments all over watching our kids play competitive softball, volleyball, and baseball. What a trip that was. We visited several states and know the locations of several McDonalds and Super 8 Motels. We can never retire but we have had such a blast it was
all worth it. God truly blessed us and we are so thankful for our life. We can’t wait to see what He has in store for us next. Our only regret is that we lost touch with so many of you over the years---and we look forward to reconnecting at the reunion! See you there!!

Bob Dorr (Bjorge)
I was Bob Dorr at LHS. I took my birth father's last name - Bjorge - when I was drafted soon after graduation. I spent a year in Korea and three years in the UK, courtesy of the U.S. Air Force. I met my first wife in England and returned to Colorado where I earned my degree as an architectural designer. I've worked as an architect for 25 years, and currently do commercial architectural design and estimating and special projects for a large commercial builder in Denver. My daughter, Stephanie, is happily married with two children and lives in England. The grandchildren are Grace, 3 years, and Henry, 8 months. My son, Richard, also lives in England, is single (but spoken for) and is a successful computer analyst. I've been
married six years to Trudi, a Chicago-to-Colorado transplant and world travel executive. We see my kids and grandkids on annual visits, and they are most important in our lives. We live in Longmont, and are active in sports...especially tennis, golf, biking, and skiing. I still play baseball. We're busy with the business of living, and enjoy travel, our many friends, and our families.

Sharon (Shields) Dynneson

After graduating Dana college, I married Joe Shields and we had 3 great children. I was lucky to stay home with them until the youngest was 3. We had lived in Omaha, Des Moines and a suburb of Minneapolis, when my husband decided to go back to his hometown of Denison, Iowa. We bought a farm and I went to work as a Child and Family Social Worker. It took me many years to adjust to farm living and I still am not totally at home here. One of my more interesting jobs was running the County jail....many stories there.Our children are all married, 2 grandsons and they live within 2 hours of us, and so we have many happy gatherings. We all take a 1 week family vacation in the summer. My current obsession is landscaping and gardening.I have been lucking to travel to conventions with my husband who is a Medical Equipment salesman... to support our now 2 farms... to most of America. Two years ago my father was ill so I returned to Longmont to care for him. I love how the city has grown. I am sorry to be missing this reunion. Have a great time!

Richard Engle

My name is Larita P. E. My husband Richard and I will not be able to attend the class reunion. Richard is battling esophageal cancer. Richard and I have been married for 38 years.We currently live in Elephant Butte, NM. We moved here from Tucson where we had lived for 17 years. We have 2 children. Our daughter, Jana, and her husband Jeremy live in Casa Grande, AZ with their 3 children: Derick who is 15, Anastasia who is 12 and Sage who is 7. Our son Brent lives in Tucson and has 2 daughters Beth who is 13 and Dallas who is 11. The joys of our life together has been camping, boating, 4wheeling and of course our grandchildren.

Carol (Feiring) Hudson
I haven't lived in Colorado since 1972. I went to college in Greeley, where I met my future husband in 1970. He is from Indiana, and when we were married in 1972, we moved there. We have lived in Stevens Point, Wisc., Champaign, IL, and Decatur, IL, over the years, due to various job changes. We landed back in Indiana about 26 years ago, and may never move,again. Of course, that depends where the kids settle permanently. My children are Andrea, (husband -Andy), and son Owen. They live in Philadelphia-Andrea is a writer, published poet, and full-time mommy. Erin( go I.U.) (husband-Keir) just got married in June. She is a clinical dietician at the VA Hospital in San Diego. She is a runner, and has done many marathons. Michael (many women have crossed his path) is a sales rep. for and Anheuser Busch distributor in Orange Co., CA . He lives in Newport Beach, just 1 block off the ocean, and shares a house with frat. brother from Ball State. He is really living the "good life", so he says. I was lucky enough to stay at home when the kids were small, and only started substitute teaching when the youngest went to kindergarten. I got a job as the bookkeeper at the public library, and enjoyed doing that for 13 years. When the library went county-wide and planned a new building project, I felt it was time for someone with more patience, experience, whatever to take on the job. I now spend my time cooking, doing water aerobics at the fitness center, having lunch with girlfriends, and traveling as much as possible to see the kids, and grandson. My husband, Joe, works in the accounting section at the Finance Center (gov't.) at what used to be Ft. Benjamin Harrison, in Indianapolis. He likes to work and have face-to-face contact with people every day, so I have hope he keeps on working for years. I hear that 2 retired spouses learning to be at home together all the time is not an easy thing to do. I haven't been to a reunion since the 20th, so am anxious to see you all.

Jeanette (Fifer) Stephens

Sorry I have not responded earlier, I won't be able to attend the big party altho I really appreciate the invitation. I didn't know many people in the class of "66" so they probably won't remember me either- anyway, here goes. My name was Jeanette Stephens Fifer (listed in the yearbook as Arlene Fifer) it was my picture, just not my name. Suppose the confusion was because I married Arlene's brother Gordon. We are still married, as of June it has been 42 years. We have lived in Centennial, Colo. for the past 30 years after living in Longmont for the first 12 years of our marriage. We have two children, Tamara Lyn Fifer Broskey and Koby Lee Fifer. Tammie lives in California with her husband Nelson and 3 children, Lacey (13), Lucas (10) and Rachel (9). Koby lives in Aurora and has a son Jake (7). I work for a law firm in Greenwood Village and Gordon is in the service part of the printing industry. We have two little dogs, Cricket and Cooper and a cabin in the mountains and enjoy riding ATV's when possible and -yes- the dogs ride too. I hope the big event will be a huge success and thanks so much for all the work that has been done, sorry I can't participate

Alice (Flicker) Hedt

I hope that you all have a terrific time on the 23rd and that you send me a booklet. I would very much appreciate it. Alice H. Hedt, 4100 Elsie Ct., Landover Hills, MD 20784 Here is a little bio. Alice Flicker married Fred Hedt, a Lutheran minister, and together they lived in Concord, North Carolina for 23 years and in Landover Hills MD for the last 10 years. They have three grown children - Matthew, a movie technician in Carrboro NC, Melissa a teacher in Asheville NC, and Bethany who works for the Center for Disease Control in Malawi - and one terrific granddaughter, Kaja who is 9 years old. Alice has worked in the field of aging for over 25 years and now leads the National Citizens' Coalition for Nursing Home Reform in Washington DC, an advocacy organization that protects the rights and dignity of long-term care residents. Alice's mom, Loreen, a faithful Longmont High School band supporter through many tupperware and candy sales, lives in an assisted living facility in Pocatello Idaho.
Personal note: "I can't think about high school without fondly remembering our dear teacher Albert James who influenced so many of us. I also recall endless band practices and never being quite as good at anything as Ron Stewart was! I continue to keep in touch with Nancy Gregory who is now in Turkey and makes her home in the Canary Islands. We see each other every 5 years or so. I hope you all have a terrific time at the reunion. Wish I wasthere to hear the stories."

Jim Flynn

After teaching for 20 years at the Career Development Center, I retired in 1999 and started a high-tech welding shop where we weld stainless steel parts for the computer and flow meter industry. I remarried in 1990 and Khileen and I moved near Platteville, Colorado where we raise a small herd of registered cattle. My three boys and 2 stepchildren are grown, some married and we have a total of six grandchildren, which are a kick in the pants! Over the past 35 years I was very involved in 4-H and Boulder County Fair serving as President of the Fair Board, President of the Sale Committee and Hog Barn Superintendent. I continue to be active with our cattle association, having served 9 years on the Board, 3 of those years as President. We have shown cattle at the National Western for about 8 years. I started team roping seven years ago and after all these years have finally learned how enjoyable it is to “play” – and I rope whenever I get a spare moment. Over the last four years I have invented and developed a motorized saddle rack for horse trailers and after several revisions, it will be going on the market this fall. Khileen and I bought some dry land property near Fort Morgan and enjoy weekend get-aways in our camper, checking the cows, riding the horses and relaxing from our day-to-day hectic schedule. All in all we are in good health, having a blast and enjoying life. I hope all of you are fortunate enough to be doing the same.

Linda (Flynn) Cooper

My husband and I recently moved back to Colorado from Las Vegas, NV. We lived in Vegas for 6 years but are thrilled to be back home and near our family again. We have two children, Monica and David. Monica lives in Steamboat Springs and David is here in Boulder. No grandchildren yet but we’re hopeful!! We share our home with 2 miniature dachshunds. We both are still working full time but enjoy traveling when we can. I play tennis and enjoy walking, reading, and spending time with friends and family.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in September!

Bob Foley

Well, it has been a long time since 1966. Longmont sure has changed and all of us, certainly, have changed also (yeah, for the best!). For me, the road to retirement has been pretty circuitous. I went to CSU with some of you guys and got out with a degree in Chemistry in 1970. Went to Michigan to work for Dow Chemical in polymer/plastics research -- anybody need to know anything about Saran Wrap? After deciding that I did not want to grow old in Michigan I jumped out of the golden trap and returned to Colorado, ostensibly, to retire at the ripe old age of 30. That did not quite work out, but to make a rather long story short, I worked for Hewlett-Packard as a materials engineer and a manager until about three
years ago and finally did really retire. I have a wife, Michelle, and a 12 year old daughter, Caroline, (yeah, it took me a while to figure out how to do it). We live in Colorado Springs with Michelle still teaching and the kid in middle school. We travel a lot with Kilimanjaro, the Amazon, and the Galapagos being some of the bigger things we have done. If you ever see a big yellow school bus with Academy District 20 painted on it and kids inside looking like they are celebrating a Super Bowl victory, the basket case driving the thing might be me!

The best to you all,
Bob Foley

Lyle Forsythe

I am looking forward to attending the reunion with my wife, Pat. Below is a brief chronology of my travels since GRADUATING! I didn’t know if my diploma was signed until we crossed the podium. God Bless Mrs. Kuhn for taking pity on me.
April 1967 Hired by IBM at Boulder
April 1968 Drafted into the Army and was sent to Germany. There is no better beer than in Germany. Went back last year, and either the beer or I have changed.
May 1970 Discharged from Army and returned to IBM
October 1970 Married to Patricia S – LHS class of 1967. We have two
children, born in 1975 and 1977.
May 1978 Job transfer relocated us to Tucson, AZ
May 1988 Job transfer relocated us to Dallas, TX
May 1992 Accepted retirement buyout from IBM Contracted out to various companies in facilities and security management
Sept 1996 Hired by McKesson Drug Co. I was proud to tell my mother
that I was a drug dealer and it was legal.
October 2002 Hired by Electronic Data Systems Corp.

Pat and I enjoy getting out in our RV when time allows and have a seemingly endless list of requests from our kids to help build this and repair that. These are good things as it gives us great opportunities to spend time with our seven grandchildren in Oklahoma and Texas. We are extremely proud that the kids are responsible and don’t ask us for money….as if we had any. We still miss the Colorado mountains and the clear, cold water streams.The Lord has been very good to us and we are quite content with life.

After graduating in June of 66, have worked, worked, worked ad nauseam.  In Sept of 67, married my wonderful husband, Dave, Class of 64.  Moved to Missouri for 3 yrs while Dave was in the Air Force.  Could not wait to get back to Colorado.  I worked in dental offices for about 16 yrs.  Then went to banking, (student loans) & then got into printing.  Left that after 11
yrs, when the anthrax scare happened.  I was printing most of the junk mail that you receive.  We have 2 great daughters, Nancy & Amy.  Both are married.  Nancy lives in Florida with her husband & one grandson with another one on the way in Oct.  Amy lives in Longmont with her husband & a granddaughter.  Dave has been retired for about 6 yrs, I joined him for about 1 1/2 yrs.  During that time, did some travel.  Enjoyed it, but needed some more stimuli.  I went back to work & have been working in printing again.  Both Dave & I are enjoying family, life & being with each other.  Have had loads of "fun" helping with the reunions. :)  Can not believe that
40 yrs have gone by.  I still do not know what I want to be when I grow up !!!!
