It's hard to believe it's been 40 years. I don't feel any older, but history says I am. I've been married to Larry for 39+ years and we were blessed with 10 children, 4 of whom (including our twins) are in Heaven already. Our 5 sons live here in the Minneapolis area and our daughter and her family live in the Breezy Pointe area. We have two grandsons and are expecting two more grandchildren this coming year. I majored in elementary education and minored in music at the U of M, did a lot of substitute teaching, worked in the Title One program while the children were growing up, worked as a Technical Chiropractic Assistant for 8 years and have now started my own business. I teach people how to develop extra income streams using life-style marketing. I take what people like to do and teach them how to develop residual income from it.

Life has been great and we've enjoyed living in the Minneapolis area until 1980, then Colorado and Wyoming in the 80s and central Minnesota (Crosby to be exact) from 1990 to May of 2005. We have 4 married children and 2 still at home. One is studying opera at Bethel University in St. Paul and the youngest is adding to his AS Degree in television production from Brown College by taking media graphics at ITT Tech.

I travel a lot and enjoy living life to the fullest and I especially enjoy my volunteer work at our church. One of my joys has been to see my dad retire as the minister and step down into the associate position and my younger brother step up to become the senior pastor. The circle of life goes on.

Sorry I wasn't able to attend the reunion. Larry is recovering from 3 major accidents last year and we are getting ready to move, so I just wasn't able to coordinate everything. I'm enjoy reading all of the postings on our class web page. Many thanks to each of you who have replied.
