Sandra Timpy (Meeks) Yielding couldn’t make the reunion, but did want her information passed along to her classmates. She now lives at 20401 NW 41st Ave., Ridgefield, WA 98642, and works as a legal investigator. She is married to Dennis Yielding and has one son, Cory Jay Meeks, 42, and one daughter, Niki Rachelle Meeks Houlihan, 39. She also has three grandchildren, ages 5 1/2 to 14 1/2. She writes:
I married Jay Meeks in 1964. Our son, Cory Jay, was born in 1965. I graduated in 1967. Our daughter, Niki Rachelle, was born in 1968. We moved to Cuba (Guantanamo Bay) on the military base as civilians in 1968. Jay was transferred to Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India for six months, so the kids and I went to Virginia Beach, Va., until he returned. I started cosmetology school there. WE moved to Spain (Roda, Madrid, Seville), then to Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. We left there and moved to Medford, followed by a move to Bonney Lake, Wash., where I completed cosmetology school and bought a five-chair salon. Jay and I divorced in 1978, and I remarried in 1983 to Dennis Yielding. We moved to our rural home in Ridgefield, where we live today. We drove team semi-truck in 48 states for 15 years, and I retired from truck driving and began studies and work as a legal investigator for a Vancouver attorney. I still work part time for him. My days are taken up with caretaking of my husband, who has terminal cancer, and upkeep of our farm and home.
Most of you knew Jay, and I want to share with those who did that we sadly lost him to cancer last October 27, 2006.
I am blessed with good health and sincerely regret not being able to be there with all of you to visit.
And also a hello from Bob Ulam
Bob Ulam had hoped to attend, but wasn’t able to come. He would like to hear from his classmates, so please contact him at shasamlee@yahoo.com.
