Occupation: Middle School Teacher
Comment: I worked at Upper Dublin H.S. Pool for many years after leaving high school.  I hear they are getting ready to demolish it.  Is that possible???
After my children were all in elementary school, I returned to the classroom and now teach 7th graders in Souderton Area School District. In some ways, it feels like I'm still reliving my days at Sandy Run Jr. High and all the fun we used to have at dances, playing sports, and playing pranks on teachers.
I am currently living in Telford with my husband, Dave (married 30 years) and my three children, Katie (25), Michael(23), and Tim(20). 
 I hope to see you all at the reunion.

Occupation: Project Manager
Comment: I've been married to my wife Joan for close to 27 years. We have one son, Jonathan, who has been our pride and joy! I've been very active with Jon in his extracurricular activities. We both fly gliders together (he soloed at 14) and he just recently became an Eagle Boy Scout. He is graduating high school shortly, so my "second time" through school is also ending. :-) His dream is to go into the Navy or Air Force and fly fighters.

I am an engineering project manager and have worked for the same company for 25 years.  My passion became computers, so I am very much a technology geek. I am also a Ham Radio Operator (N3KF) which probably won't surprise some people.

Gesh, it is hard to believe how fast the time has gone!!! It's great reading all the updates and very sad seeing the In Memorium page. Hopefully I'll be able to make my first ever reunion.

Occupation: Federal Government analyst
Comment: My family still lives in Ambler, but I never looked back after leaving for VMI in the fall of '73. Spent seven plus years as an army officer after graduating from college and then got out. Went into the reserves, but switched to the Navy and finally retired from that a couple of years ago. On the civilian side I've been working as an analyst for the US Government in the DC area for the last 22 years, living in Manassas, VA.

Married for close to 30 years to my college sweetheart, Robin, who looks after her horse and our Welsh Corgi.

Our daughter Allyson graduated from the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU three years ago and is pursuing a career in LA, while our son Thomas is a journalism major at Maryland where he is the leading film critic for the school paper and writes a blog on Terrapin sports for the website FanU.

Comment: Hello long lost classmates!  This is kind of strange writing to folks I haven't seen in 50 years.

Yes, I live in Alaska and have lived here for most of the 50 years since graduation with some time in the "lower 48" attending college.  Alaska always pulled us back.  I am married to Kim (42 years) and we have two adult children.  Zach is 41 and in banking.  Rebecca is 37 and is in Medical billing. Yes, they both played soccer from age four through High School and I was their coach the entire time!

It seems that I've changed careers every ten years but then there has been a natural progression.  Currently I am the Chief Operations Officer of alarge Healthcare nonprofit.  Previously I was the Administrator of the State's 168-bed long term care facility called the Anchorage Pioneer Home.  Before that I was on staff at the Alaska Psychiatric Institute for 10 years and in private practice. (Family Therapist). Before that I served as a Senior Pastor at three churches (after Seminary).  I left UD to go in the Air Force after graduation and was a PA in emergency medicine and flew rescue.  I was stationed here in Alaska which is how I came to Alaska in the first place.  I fell in love with the skiing, mountains and abundant wildlife.

So it seems that I finally figured out what I wanted to be when I grew up! In 1981 I hired this really beautiful Christian woman who had no idea I had once been an awkward skinny kid.  A few months later we married and life has been a very interesting and fun ride ever since.

The Alaska winters seem to be getting longer (or are we getting older?) so we also have a home in Arizona that we try to get to often during the coldest months.

My sister retied to our lake cabin in the Poconos and I try to come back once a year in the fall to visit  and also take in an Eagles game with my son. (he is the ultimate Eagles fan!)

I am hoping to schedule our yearly trek at the same time as the Reunion but I also have a grizzly bear trip planned for that time.  I am also a professional wildlife photographer.

If any UDHS class of 73 are planning  a vacation to Alaska, feel free to contact me and I'll show you around!

Over the past weeks I find myself returning to this site each day and reading all the entries as I try to place the faces.  I've been touched by the lasting relationships that seem to be a common thread with UDHS graduates.  Was it the water? It's also very sobering to read the names of our classmates who have passed away.  I wish we had more information about their lives. 

The "NOW" picture  is a recent shot of us out camping with the grandkids.
