CLASSMATE BIOS

In some of the past reunions, we have printed a book containing a bio of most classmates. This is too expensive and is outdated quick, so we are providing this page to create a digital classmates bio book. Please know... this information IS secure and NOT available on the website, but you are able to contact anyone 'via email', who has posted their bio.

So, please take a few minutes to update us with your comments and contact information, especially if you moved or changed your email address. Please add a current picture of yourself – it can be with your spouse, your dog, pet rock, what ever you prefer. Your 'Then' photo will be added later by the site administrator.
Again please remember... no address or contact information is displayed on the website page, it is secure and only available for messages or announcements from the Reunion Committee.
 
Thanks and enjoy catching up on everyone.
The following pages by default are sorted by 'Last Name'. For better results, click on the down arrow to the right of the 'Sort By' and select 'Maiden Name'. It will be easier to find specific classmates.

If you have trouble accessing your previous bio, send a message through the "Contact Us" page and we can assist with your username and password.

Comment: Hi,
I have been blessed with a 37 year marriage to a terrific man and we have 2 children, both married, and 5 wonderful grandchildren. It's great being grandparents, especially since they live close by!  After living in Wisconsin for 15 years, we left Packerland and lived in Virginia Beach, VA, for 4 years, and then moved back to Minnesota several years ago. We were glad to get back. We won't be retiring for a few years yet; we both like our jobs. Besides spending time with family, we love to travel.

Comment:

Judie and I have been married for 32 years and raised three children. I've practiced real estate law for 33 years and still enjoy this activity. All of this would not have been possible if my neighbor Richard Siegel had not tutored me through physics where I got stuck with six of the top ten in our class.

Myparents Larry (92 years old) and Ruth (90 years old), my son Josh, and my brother Russ all own homes here and we like to call our family tract of land "Shangrilocken".

Occupation: retired English teacher
Comment: My husband Mike Kalland (Benilde'65) and I live in Minnetonka where our daughters (Shana, 25, and Julia, 21) occasionally live. I just retired this spring from teaching after 36 years. I taught English at Hopkins High School and, most recently, was a Master Teacher for the school district's Q-Comp program. I'm not sure what I'll be doing-- exploring my options, going out to lunch, traveling, and reading more books are my only certain plans. Had a blast last year at the all-Parkette reunion. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.
