Comments:

(2013 Update): We moved back to the US right when the 'Great Re-De-pression' hit. Welcome home..... anyway, we survived that and are doing fine. I still run marathons, but started dabbling into Ultra-Marathons (anything past 26.2 miles). In 2012 I ran around Mt. St Helens (32 miles with 7,000 ft elevation gain/loss) and across the country of Qatar: 54 miles. The run across Qatar was on my bucket list (OK, so my bucket isn't the same shape as most peoples') but it was an awesome time. Now when I go to these business networking meetings I can ask, "so what country have you run across lately?"

I hope to see everyone at the reunion.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(from 2008 update) Moved to Portland Oregon in 1988, took a job as a direct marketing designer. Started my own design company in 1996, creating designs for client marketing materials. Started brokering print in 2003 in addition. Dabbled in entrepreneurial ventures throughout the 90's and early 2000's.

Ran 6 marathons; now my knees sound like an old tractor transmission you try to get into reverse.

Traveled to Australia, New Zealand (got married there), England, Scotland, France, Spain, Malaysia, Indonesia, Africa, Qatar (Middle East) Belize and North Dakota.

School Story:

I seem to recall our class didn't have a good track record with teachers. I think each year since 8th grade there was either one death or one 'insanity plea' up until graduation. Is this ringing any bells....?
