| Comment: Looking forward to this weekend and seeing lots of old friends. This time I'm bringing along Karen as my bride of 2 1/2 years and not just my "girlfriend." It's hard to explain such relationships when you're nearly 63 and people accuse you of robbing the cradle! She's a division chief in the Defense Dept dealing with civilian education & national security professional development, and I've just been hired by a big Beltway Bandit, Booz Allen, to teach Latin American issues at the expanded NIU (National Intelligence University). I'll be in the same building but probably at a different phone no. So don't call the one listed here! In my spare time, I edit the American Intelligence Journal for the National Military Intelligence Assn, sing tenor in the West Point Alumni Glee Club, and sing bass in our church choir (yes, I lead a very conflicted life). Since the last reunion, I've decided being a student for life is not that much fun and finished a doctorate in education at GWU. Also since then we now have our first grandchild, 4-year-old Emilia, who lives in Savannah with her parents. Her mother Luciana (my only child if you don't count 8 stepchildren) is a historic preservationist & city archivist, obviously inheriting a love of history from her old man. We wish they lived closer so we could see them more often, but maybe if we ever slow down in trying to fix the fed govt and DC's traffic we can travel a lot more. Go Beavers and Class of '66! | |

| Comment: I migrated to Charlotte in 1966 and after living all over the country, returned to charlotte 14 years ago. i have been in sales and in the insurance industry for the past 24 years and am self employed. i have two wonderful daughters denise and dana and two beautiful grandaughters olivia and julia. they live in greensboro and atlanta and i make it a point to see them at least every other month. my family has all migrated to charlotte and we get together at least three times a year. big family now with everyone having children and some with grandchildren. my favorite things to do are to be with my children and grandchildren, laugh, play in my garden, listen to music, play some golf(if it is cool weather), hike, go for long walks, be in the moment. i am healthy,not so wealthy and wise. life did not play out as i had planned, but it has been good . surround yourself with love and good friends, empty garbarge immediately(this includes people, situations, and clutter) breathe deeply, and love with unabandonment. | |

| Comment: Sorry I cannot attend the reunion. I taught school in Tennessee for 13 years and moved to St Petersburg FL over 30 years ago where I met my husband Barry. I was FL District Manager for Schulmerich Carillons and Handbells for 18 years , left that to manage my husbands General Contractors office. He passed away over 3 years ago, then I retired. We were both animal lovers and rescued our 4 legged kids (dogs and cats) | |
