Comments:

I met my husband Bill Johnson at Iowa. We got married and moved to Boston right after we graduated in 1978. We've moved several times due to his job. Lived in Boston, Raleigh, San Antonio, Ann Arbor and finally Palatine, IL. He was recently laid off from Motorola where he was a manager in Business Intelligence / Strategy ( an oxymoron I know). I graduated from Iowa with a degree in Business. When we moved to San Antonio I decided to go back to school and am now a RN. I work in an endoscopy lab.

Jean was such a nice person!  I ran into her at the hospital when she took care of my dad.  She was so nice to him and did a great job. I'm sure her family and close friends will really miss her.

I agree with others here that Tim was one of the kindest people in highschool.  Always friendly and nice to everyone.
