I have been living in the Great Inland Northwest since 1986, and enjoy being in the area that many travel to for their vacations and hunting! My consulting business gets me out and about most of the time, which is a very good thing, and I get paid for it too! Many thanks to all of you "locals" for organizing these class reunions--it's hard to keep track of us all, especially when we can't even keep track of ourselves!! News from NW Iowa area out here is very sparse.
It's surprising how many people I meet or friends I've made (there are a few of them) from western Iowa or know where Okoboji is! Still working and surviving.
Went to Scandinavia in August of 2011, and took Jo-Ellen to New York in Sept. of 2012--before Sandy!!

I can't believe that I actually learned anything in Spanish class, as unserious as we were with Senorita Bryan! I have found that in my travels in Mexico on vacations this past few years, that I actually retained some words and phrases! High school history classes, though, are a different matter, and I feel that I've learned a lot of that stuff all over again.

Our band practices and bus trips created many memories that I've recalled over the years, and are a very special part of me. Playing in the Fourgone Conclusions is also something I have treasured! Because of that, though, I never really learned to dance until 1998!
