I lived in Crystal Lake until 1976, then moved to Glendale Heights, Illinois and lived there until 1997, then moved to Chandler, Arizona where I reside today.

I absolutely love Arizona and don't miss the ice, snow, wind, sleet, rain, tornadoes, and cloudy and dreary days in Illinois! I love the Arizona sky, the good roads, being able to have Thanksgiving dinner outside, wearing flip flops all year around, and being able to jump in the swimming pool in my backyard! I don't mean to brag, just want to let everyone know that Arizona is getting some bad press lately, but it is a beautiful state and I love it here!

I have a niece in Prairie Grove and nephew and his wife in Crystal Lake.

Two of my brothers and a sister have moved to Leesburg, Florida, but I still have one brother in Woodstock and another brother near Tucson.

I come back every other year or so.

No

Heard from Linda Kolby (Dentro), so am trying to get back in touch with her!

Also, see a lot of Facebook posts from a few classmates! I really enjoy Facebook, as I have family in IL, AZ, CA, FL, WI!

I want to continue traveling, since that is my passion (besides BASEBALL GO CUBS and DIAMONDBACKS!). I have traveled to many places in the US and own a couple of timeshares so I vacation in Hawaii just about every year. Some of the other places I have gone to are Paris, Rome and the Amalfi Coast in Italy, Puerto Rico, Aruba, Paradise Island in the Bahamas, and Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco) and Cancun, Mexico.

I still want to travel to other countries in Europe, see Africa and visit New Zealand and Australia in the future!

Believe it or not, my favorite memories from high school are of getting my driver's license, driving around with friends, and going to McDonald's and Dairy Queen! I also enjoyed the Homecoming Parades, working on the floats and dances.

High points have to be my daughters and grandkids! I am very proud of both my daughters, and my twin grandsons born in 2005!

I hike up in the mountains, read, play golf, enjoy going to the movies and out to eat!

Love to travel! I'm always planning another trip!

Swam with Manta Rays and did night snorkeling! Hiked into "off the grid" areas to swim in water falls on the Big Island of Hawaii. Toured active volcanoes, waterfalls, and lush green valleys from a small plane.

Yes

Many times

No

Yes

No, I've been coloring my hair for years!

I enjoy gambling and playing Bingo at the casinos! In fact, that's how I have funded some of my travel adventures, with money won on the slot machines and at Bingo!

I enjoy going to baseball games (Spring Training games in March for the Cubs) and Diamondbacks games. I go to Arizona State University football games, and sometimes the Phoenix Suns basketball games! Also go to the Phoenix Waste Management Open golf tournament every year.

Steaks, shrimp, lobster, Chinese and Italian food

Merlot wine, Pina Coladas, Margueritas!

Baseball, Football, Golf

Rock and Roll, the Oldies

Yes

Sitting in my pool chair, reading a good book, and enjoying a cold beverage!

I enjoy camping, and hiking under the stars in the mountains when there's a full moon!

Hopefully, still retired and still healthy, running around to the zoo and the mall, seeing movies and doing things with my kids and grandkids, playing golf, planning vacations!

I think it would have to be plan for the future, but enjoy the present! Don't live in the past and hang onto regrets and grudges. Take advantage of every opportunity you can to have fun with family and friends! Travel every chance you get. I have never regretted traveling.
