It is hard to believe that it has been 40 years since our graduation! Currently, I am a Financial Advisor with Mellon Financial Corporation in Pittsburgh, PA. My husband Dave and I celebrated 35 years of marriage last summer with a much enjoyed cruise around the Hawaiian Islands. We have been blessed with two wonderful daughters. Kristin, 28, is a cardiac intensive care nurse. She and her husband John live nearby. Our youngest daughter Suzanne, 25, is an architect in Knoxville, TN. She has also started her own business, ContemporaryInk.com, a card design company. We have two granddoggies but no grandchildren yet. Dave and I are active in our church and enjoy traveling. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion! Thanks to the reunion committee for all of the hard work!

Thanks to the GREAT committee for organizing our 40th event!! Can't wait to see everyone! I have 2 beautiful daughters and an adorable 2 year old grandson. Living and working on Hilton Head Island is like being in paradise. But I must say I'm looking to forward to coming back to "Almost Heaven - West Virginia."

Retired March 2009 and moved to North Myrtle Beach, SC. We have 14 grandkids (including 2 step grandsons). Our oldest daughter lives in Tulsa, OK and is a partner in a law firm. Our two younger daughters are homemakers and live in the Bluefield area with 13 of our grandkids, which requires numerous trips back to Bluefield each year. We established a smalll consulting company that works on various projects with coal companies.

It's hard to realize that 40 years have gone by so quickly. Bo and I recently celebrated our 35 anniversary. We have two sons, Kevin and Jeff. Both are graduates of Virginia Tech. Kevin is a civil engineer. He and his wife have a ten month old daughter, Elizabeth, who's stolen our hearts. They live in Salem, VA. Jeff is doing a Post Doc at UNC, Chapel Hill in Biochemistry.
We never seem to make it back to Bluefield since we lost our parents and no longer have any family there.

Thanks to everyone who works so hard on the reunion commitee. I have lived in the Bluefield area all my life. I still attend all of the high school sporting events. GO BEAVERS.
