I am now settled in life, but for many years after graduation, I was on the move because I never had a clear vision of what I should do with my life. Thus, I lived in Ohio, Colorado, Alaska, and finally in Washington. I managed to attend three other colleges (including CU) before finally graduating from the University of Washington in 1980. At Fairview High, I was too shy to flirt with girls, but over time my social skills developed and I got married. Sadly, this only lasted ten years and I was single again. But, after a few years, I got married again and now have two sons also. I worked as a clerk for the F.B.I. at the field offices in Denver and Anchorage and after graduating from U. of W. in Seattle, I became an engineering drafter and designer. After about ten years, AUTOCAD came to our office and I could not handle the computers of the time. So, I became a baker, which has been a lot more stable and the exercise is probably better for me than my previous sedentary office work. After our graduation on June 8, 1966, it only took me a generation to get settled. I guess even an average student can have an interesting life.

I tried to send something for the class directory but the submit button did not seem to work, probably because I was messing around with the browse feature prior to submitting the text. Anyway, in case it did not go through, here are my comments (and I will try to send some pictures later): I am stil living in Hong Kong, and although I am now retired Mary Lou and I have decided not to permanently move back to the U.S. for two reasons: 1. I did not want anyone to learn the truth about Dave, Patty and myself; but I see that the secret is finally out. 2. We can't face living in the U.S. while George W. is still in a position to make a total mess of everything. (But that gets into politics and we may not want to go there. And with Bob Beauprez's rise up the political ladder, I will leave it up to him to get things back on track.) So after more thought, I think Mary Lou and I will make every effort to attend the reunion and I look forward to seeing everyone! And who knows we might win a prize for travelling the farthest (First Class or Business Class round-the-world tickets would be a nice prize.) I have been retired for almost 3 years ( which has been GREAT) and Mary Lou and I are permanent residents of Hong Kong where we have lived for about 20 years. While still at Fairview, I met Mary Lou while working at the Gondolier Restaurant which was then located at the bottom of the Broadway hill. Other employees at the time included Dave Adams, Mike Triantos, Chuck Danielson, Dave Mosher, my brother (Patty or Dave), and many others... After work we usually enjoyed late night poker games, racing cars up Boulder canyon, and all-nighters at the Boulder reservoir. I started working for Hewlett-Packard in Fort Collins in 1976 and HP transferred us to Malaysia in 1981 where our second daughter was born and where we re-established our love for Asia. After 4 years in Malaysia and about 20 years in Hong Kong we decided to make Hong Kong our permanent home. We also have an apartment in Penang, Malaysia, and we plan to share our time between Hong Kong, Penang, and New York City. Life is very good and we are indeed very fortunate. We have two terrific daughters (which is what really matters in life) and a great son-in law, all of whom live and work in NYC. Mary Lou and I have recently purchased an apartment in Manahattan in anticipation of eventually being around to spoil the grandchildren. We also decided on NYC because we wanted to find a U.S.-base that was a large, cosmopolitan, diverse city - the fact that NYC is willing to vote BLUE is also a plus. Thanks to the organizing committe for all your work and for the great web-site. I hope we can all start some new rumors and establish some lost contacts. See you in Boulder.

I have been getting nothing but grief from my fellow reunion committee members because I am the only one who hasn't signed in. So at the risk of boring you all to death, here goes. I received my MA in speech pathology from CU in 1972 having married Chris in May 1970 right after he got back from Vietnam (that makes 36 years next month, sheesh). I still can't believe I chose a degree with the word speech in it, as speech classes in junior high and high school always absolutely terrified me. I'm pretty good at talking to people one at a time, though, so it's worked out. I still really love what I do but am finding crawling around on the floor with two year olds isn't as easy as it used to be. Actually the crawling around part isn't so hard, it's getting back up that is. Chris and I moved from Boulder to Gunbarrel Estates in 1975 where we stayed until we built a home a little further north out by Haystack Mountain in 1994. I still commute to Denver every day and no end in sight. We have one son, Ben (our best accomplishment ever) who finished a degree in piano performance at CU and promptly decided to go into architecture so as not to be a starving artist always. He's at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, the one person in the family who has returned to the east coast from whence we all came in 1956. He came out to us about six years ago, so my volunteer time is spent on PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), a just cause if there ever was one. It's been a lot of fun working on the reunion and I hope to see a bunch of you in July! Libby

I had to come over to Susan's (Shaddock/Cinnamon) to get this bio done I really do not like the computer. I worked on one off and on for 30 yrs at Qwest and besides pictures of my grandkid's, I could do without them. I'm a good old telephone and snail mail girl. Oh, well here comes my story. 1966-1996 (most of you have heard this before: Went to 2 years of school, dropped out and married Monty Huggins, had 2 kids and divorced. I worked for Mountain Bell/USWest/Qwest for over 30 years. In 1995 I married Bud Chapman, he has 1 son, so that made 3 kids for me. If you ever get the chance to have 3 teenagers living in your home at once, DON'T! In November of 2000, I retired from Qwest to take care of Bud while he got treatment for cancer. After 2 and a half years (8 surgeries and 6 weeks of radition) he is cancer free! Now we've started on our real retirement life! We bought a motorhome and travel some. I do lots of craft projects and work part-time at Curves (no ladies I haven't lost a pound, but there is still hope) We visit our two grandkids Biven Chapman (Paul & De)in Palmer Lake, CO and Cedar Higby (Stacy & Mike)in Salem, OR. My youngest son Matt is in San Francisco and still single, I'm always looking for a nice girl for him, so if you know anyone. My parents are still in Boulder, and doing great so we spend a lot of time with them. All and all my life is great! I'm looking forward to hearing all about yours.

This is an awesome Web site and it's great to read the comments and humor (although I am still quite confused about the double Thompson twins and their sex changes and new names)! Thanks to Carol Smith (Holland) and Patti Coleman for letting me know about the reunion. I am one who has never attended a reunion before and it looks promising for this year to be my first. I have lived in Hawaii for the past 35 years and it's a little difficult (and expensive) driving across the Pacific ocean. I have some miles and vacation time saved up but needed to know the dates, which I now have. I hope to see many of you in July!
