Comment: Hell-o everyone & thanks a bunch to all the reunion planners. I'll be there. Hal & I are both retired and enjoying it. We will celebrate 30 years of happily married bliss on 11-14-11. We both enjoy music, gardening, snow skiing, sailing and power boating, traveling in the US and abroad (good thing since 2 of our 4 gradnchildren live in Australia) and being at home on Old Hickory Lake just outside of Nashville, TN. When Hal and I married, I also became Stepmom to 3 sons. Galen is an LA Lawyer. He and Riza live in Los Angeles with our youngest grandson, Asa, age 8. Sean is a businessman. He and Marianne live in Sydney, Australia. Marianne is a native of Perth, Australia. They have two wonderful young Aussies; Winston 11 1/2 and Charlotte 9 1/2. Kris, the youngest, and Sue live in Mammoth Lakes, CA, a ski resort in the Eastern Sierras. Kris is a low voltage electrical contractor. Sue has a 26 year old son, Brent, from a previous marriage.  We are proud to claim Brent as our oldest grandson.

Comment:
Elizabeth and I have been retired since March 1, 2008 and are filling our time with travel, volunteering and visiting our 3 grandsons.  We have two children, Kristy who lives in Charlottesville, VA with her husband (Paul) and our 3 grandsons, Tyler 14, Hunter 12 and Grant 5 and our son Jamie who lives in Denver, Colorado, with his wife Liz who is from Denver.  We make at least two trips a year to Denver and many more to Charlottesville.  When we aren't on the road visiting our children or traveling with friends, I stay busy volunteering at our church, working as a volunteer Ambassador at the Roanoke Airport, restoring antique and classic cars (I currently have a 1930 Ford Coupe and a 1964 Falcon Sprint.)  and helping on the Blue Ridge Parkway rebuilding historic buildings.  I have also tried to improve my golf game by playing at least one day a week.  I really appreciate all that the Reunion Committee does to keep us informed of the news, both good and bad, concerning our fellow classmates.  I am looking forward to our 50th.  See you there!

Comment: The years are still kind... I retired from teaching six months ago and got married June 18, 2016, a little over a week ago, to one of our classmates! Come to the reunion to learn his identity!!! My three children have given me eight wonderful grandchildren....four boys and four girls. It must be something in the water! My oldest (daughter) and my youngest (son) live in or near Bluefield, and my middle (son) lives in Norfolk, VA. For the past three years, I've been living out of a suitcase, shuttling between North Carolina and WV. For many, many months, your reunion committee has been so anxious to begin the fun task of putting together our greatest reunion ever---our 50th! We were in such a hurry to start the planning that several of us began meeting for lunch monthly over the past year just to talk about it all. Now the time, finally, is here. We hope all of us are able to attend and once again catch up on each other's lives. As usual, the planning is always the best part of it all for us here, and we are trying very hard to keep in touch with you as the time grows closer. We hope you will all stay in touch, too, and let us know how your lives are moving along. See you in 19 days!!!
