Oh, my! Fifty years! How did that happen?

Only a few changes have occurred since my update for the 45-year reunion. I still have three grown children -- Brian, Robyn, and Christopher -- but have added a granddaughter (Madeline ["Maddie"]), who will be four in September.

Since returning to Omaha (from South Dakota) almost 23 years ago, I have kept busy doing consulting work, teaching classes at UNO (although now about 85% retired -- no more undergrads, just grad level), sitting on some non-profit boards of directors, and playing violin in a volunteer community orchestra called Orchestra Omaha. Taking some harp lessons has recently been added to by activities. My next fun purchase will be a French horn. Now that I am mostly retired, I actually find time for the fun activities that have been on the back burner for so many years. And yes, being on the reunion committee is still part of my life.

Seeing everyone again will be great fun -- I'm looking forward to it.
