Hello class of 66,

It would not surprise me to learn that many of my classmates do not remember me, since school attendance was never one of my strong suits. I did however eventually get my act together and after finishing my military service in the US Navy, submarine squadron 12, I found my prefect lady -- Virginia (Gina) Reimer (Cooper class of 1966). We were married in 1970 and after she completed her degree in elementary education, we moved to Alaska where I attended the University of Alaska, majoring in Art. After completing my education, I worked on the Alaskan pipeline, and in 1976 we moved back to Minnesota and built our home and studio. We have operated a studio pottery for the last 35 years until semi-retiring in 2010; we enjoy our work and hope to continue as long as possible with the online part of our business. Otherwise, we are enjoying country living, just kicking back and watching the grass grow. I wish all of you the best and hope you have had great lives!! Jim
