| Bill and I celebrated our
50th wedding anniversary last November. Our kids planned a wonderful
afternoon which included a limo ride to Red Lobster in DM. Our kids
are now 41-48 years old and we have two wonderful granddaughters 23
and 19. We still live in the same home we moved to in 1965 - only
the address has changed somewhat over the years. Retirement is fun
and don't know where all the time goes. I like to read and quilt and
am involved with church circle and attend a craft class. |

Fondest Memories of High

with friends, classmates, and team mates that I met and connected
with during my time at North. |

in football and baseball, and made friendships that continue to this
day. |
Most
significant happening in my life?
In October of 1984, while living in Southern California, I met
and married the wonderful wife I am married to today. Also significant
has been the birth of my five wonderful children. Sad time occurred
a couple of years ago with the death of my youngest son, Shawn, who
died in an auto accident two days prior to his 44th birthday. Happy
times and sad times, but all significant. |

I graduated, got married,
and had five children, who have been my life.
I have traveled extensively, lived on both coasts, and finally moved
to Nashville, TN ten years ago. I bought a condo in a retirement community
and love being here where my two youngest children reside with two
adopted grandsons. I have six grandchildren in all and one great granddaughter.
I have a daughter in Knoxville, TN, a daughter in Denver, and my oldest
son in Des Moines. All five are married.
I love working part time at Vanderbilt Hospital and I love living
in Nashville, It is absolutely beautiful here. Life is good. I do
miss all my friends in Des Moines but I do hope you will come to visit.
