Today, it’s all about the mail

I have the enviable job of opening all mail coming in from my former classmates and reading what they’ve been up to since 1967. This has been a greater pleasure than you can imagine. I’ve received nice long updates from Paula Kratz, Becky McCall Hov, Linda MacDonald Unrein, Dan Cordell, Peggy Murphy, Mary Yocom, Sherry Farrier Binger, Barry Stranahan, and many more. Oh, the places we’ve been and the things we’ve seen.

Dan moved to Hawaii after Alaska and likes bicycle racing.
Paula is a nurse in Talent, Oregon, and Becky is still in the banking business. Peggy is retired – retired! – I want to be retired – and so are John Baer, Linda MacDonald Unrein, and Mike Griffin. Be sure to read the comments on the last post from Becky, Dan, and Peggy. See what they have been doing for the past 40 years.

I hope to take everyone's updates and post them on this blog, along with some photos, after the reunion, so be sure to check back then. I’d like to use this blog and an e-mail list to stay connected, but I also realize that not all of our classmates are “e-connected.” If those who are can send updates to me via e-mail or through this blog, I will be happy to send a paper newsletter once or twice a year to those who request it. If you read this, please help pass the word at the reunion. There will be a sign up sheet.


If you have any other ideas about how we can all stay updated, post them here. I promise to visit this site often, and I know others plan to as well.
