| Comment: | Hello classmates, it is truly wonderful to find that so many friends from high school have done so well. After graduation I bounced around to a few different colleges and finally graduated from Bloomsburg state. While there I met my future wife (Mary) with whom I've had two children, Michael and Linda both now grown. For the last 30 years I've been teaching physical science in the Annville school district near Hershey Pa. I've also been teaching some graduate courses at a college nearby called Lebanon Valley College. During my first years of teaching, the district didn't have much money so I started a hobby of building my own science equipment. This eventually worked out well in that I've ended up patenting and selling a number of ideas to science supply companies. After a while I dabbled in business a bit and designed a few science toys that we sell through our own small company. My activities in this area eventually led to getting a book published on ideas for teaching physics (Yikes, I've turned into Mr. Hoffmaster) I'm now working on a follow-up. Life has been interesting; one of my recent amusements has been to enter the world of building catapults to throw pumpkins as far a possible (why?? who knows). We entered a 30 foot tall catapult in the National Punkin Chunkin contest held in Delaware recently and threw an 8 lb pumpkin over 750 feet. On a more serious note, I've become involved with producing educational materials to be used in the country of Haiti, the schools there have nothing and anything we can offer is greatly appreciated. I still enjoy teaching, (my wife claims it's because I get to play with so many toys) and plan to do so as long as I can. Thank you Beverly, Hope, and Seth for organizing all of this and hope to see as many as possible at our reunion. |

| Comment: | It has been a fantastic walk down memory lane reading everyone's comments and updates. I hope to catch up with as many people as I can prior to the reunion. So, where exactly did the last 35 years go? For me, 7 years at Purdue University (in the middle of the cornfields and hogs), another 7 years in Indianapolis working for Eli Lilly, an extended honeymoon in Asia and a few years living in Taiwan where my daughter Lauren was born, and then a move to Seattle, where I've been for about 17 years. My life seems to work around the number 7 which my Chinese fortune teller told me was my lucky number! That and the number 3. (How interesting that when we combine the two : '73) My husband Clay is an attorney and my daughter will be a sophomore at UCLA. Somehow she was athletically gifted (certainly did not get it from her mother as she is quick to point out) and life was always a series of practices, soccer games, and swim meets. Thankfully, the swimming lead to a position on the UCLA team. As for me, I am currently taking a break from working now that Lauren is off to college. It doesn't really make sense, but taking time out to refresh the brain and retool my career does make sense. As we all head into what may be the final leg of our work life, it is imperative that we are doing work that is enjoyable, stimulating, and fun!!! We want to leave the world knowing that we've contributed, right? So, after working in finance, inventory management, purchasing, sales, marketing, international business, consulting, PR, and communications, I'd like to combine those skills and do.... oh who knows? If anyone has a suggestion, email me! I could use the advice! Hope everyone is in good health and good spirits. I look forward to seeing you all in the near future. XXOO!! |

| Comment: | I've been married to Terry for 30 happy years. We have 3 children: Jenelle (27 and married) is a biologist at Merck, Justin (24) is in marketing at Datacap Systems and Jared (21) will be entering his senior year in college. I am very fortunate in that I am able to play tennis three days a week while working two days a week at Datacap Systems. That flexibility also allows Terry and I to travel frequently which we both love to do!. I cannot believe it has already been 35 years since high school. I remember so much of it, as if it happened yesterday!! I am looking forward to the reunion and catching up with old friends!! |

| Comment: | My life has been a dream come true. My wife, Sue Kane (class of '74), has the patience of Job and brings a peace that I longed for while I was growing up. I think that's why I was such a difficult person to get along with as a child ... and teenager ... and adult - I needed an anchor. Someone to love me unconditionally. I am a happy and lucky man.
