How did this happen? It can't be fifty years since we were at those dances in the gym, the noon movies, English Lit.classes with Ms. Steiner and in those Black and White robes looking to the future.

My future was really good. I traveled around the world with my dear Chuck (Col. USAF) and we have been married now for 48 years and have two children and 5 wonderful grandchildren. Chuck is now retired from both the Air Force and a second career after the military. We love living in the beautiful Rocky Mountains but do travel when we can, especially to visit those grandchildren.

I spent my younger years as a stay at home Mom and an unpaid Officers Wife (many volunteer duties were expected). After the kids were grown I had a small business desigining clothing and dabbeling in varied art adventures. I still love my art and am active in making Art Dolls, Art Journaling, Artist Trading Cards and various mixed media art.

I look forward to finding out how my classmates lives have gone these last 50 years and to seeing many of you.

I also can't wait to hit Swensons for a hamburger and maybe even some Mary Coyles ice cream. How many of you remember the Friday nights at the Highland Theater followed by ice cream or a coke?
