Hi all, just found this web site and it was wonderful to be able
to read what some of you have been up to in the last 45
years. Let's just say...isn't life interesting? For each of us it
would take books to tell of where life (God) has been taking
us in these intervening years. But in a nut shell: I have been
married to Bob for 36 years; two stepdaughters in their 40s,
grandchildren in their 20's and now two greats (very cute). I
substitute taught for 30 years and then decided to be a
watercolorist, which I've been doing for about 10 years now-
check out my web site and artists.com. Bob's retired from the
SJ Fire Dept. We live in the incredibly beautiful SC
mountains; I have a lovely garden, counsel post abortive
women at the Pregnancy Center in Santa Cruz, very active in
my church, also work out 3 days a week. So life is full in this
neck of the woods. Through our lives is a golden thread that
says that God is always faithful and always loving. that just
about says it all.

I am married to Errol van Blerk, live in Sydney Australia and have
three children. Elisa-Marie is 38 and lives in San Mateo. She was
married a year ago and they plan to move back to Sydney next
year. Maegan is 30, has two children and lives in Sydney.
Brenden is 28, lives in Foster City and is being married in
September. He will be moving back to Sydney in the next couple
of years. Both kids in the Bay Area want to start families and raise
their kids here in Australia and we're thrilled to think we'll have all
our kids in the one place again and will be able to see our
grandchildren grow up.

I am the Managing Partner in a learning and development
consultancy (www.bensonfurrie.com.au) and work with top
management teams and their direct reports to help them with
their leadership skills and with developing their people for the
future.

I seriously dislike 'sewing', but I've become an avid quilter over
the last few years so when I can steal some free time, it's usually
off to my quilting room. Errol and I have really taken to this
whole coffee culture thing too (very big here in Aussie) and love
to spend time at our favourite Gloria Jeans. I also love reading
and watching movies. We've got almost 1000 on our system now
so there's always something to put on while I'm working on a
project. We used to do a lot of bushwalking too, but I had a
serious accident three years ago and that's put a crimp in the kind
of walking we do.

I'm very lucky. My husband and I are best friends and have
a lot of fun together, I get paid for doing what I love doing, the
kids have turned out to be really nice people, and life feels terrific
at the moment. I am very grateful and look forward to what the
future will bring.

One of the things I'm looking forward to is building a house.
We've finally finished the design of our 'perfect' house and now
have to make it happen. I've never been interested in being a
homeowner before, have lived in 51 houses in my life, not to
mention moving countries, and am finally ready to settle down.

Another thing I'm looking forward to is being at our 50th Reunion
(and how did 50 years go by so fast, I ask you?!). My son and his
fiance even set their wedding date just before the reunion so we
can make one trip and attend both events. I haven't been able to
get to the US for any reunion since the 20th one, so look forward
to catching up in October.

Boy, what a fun thing this site is - thanks Fig.
Where to start? I moved to Gold Beach, Or. a year ago
- bought a wonderful home on the Rogue River, about 4
miles from the ocean. I have had my own
accounting/bookkeeping business for about 30 yrs,
called "Money Matter$".
My daughter, Tami, is now 38 (how in the world did she
get that old, when I think I'm still 35?). She is
married, with 2 kids, 5 & 7. They live in Issaquah,
Wa., so I don't get to see them as much as I'd like. I
really LOVED being a mom - but being a grandparent is
MUCH BETTER!
I lived in Bend, Or. for 11 years, prior to coming
here, but it got too big for me. My life has been very
interesting, but not perfect - damn! I have travelled
a lot, and am glad to be still for awhile. I have 2
cockers and a cat, and we are all senior citizens now.
How can that be?
Hope to hear from some of you!!
See you at the reunion -my first. Can't wait!
Smiles to all,

Been married to my husband Ron since l966. Hard to
believe we are getting close to 40 years together.
We have three children and three grandchildren. Have
lived in so many different places but been in
Henderson, Nevada the past 15 years. Ron was a
helicopter pilot (Vietnam era) so we did quite a bit
of moving around. I worked for IBM Credit Union for
15 years as manager and Ron worked at San Jose Int'l
Airport in Dept of Aviation same amount of time.
Ron offered position doing essentially same job at
McCarran Airport in Las Vegas so we moved again in
1989. Have enjoyed living here and watching this
area growup the past 15 years. Ron retired 4 years
ago and we always seem to be busy. Lots of company
and frequent visits to our children that don't live
in Nevada.
