Bill Hughes, 02/02/2012

Hello everyone. If you're reading this note, you've arrived at the second generation of our class website, which went live in February 2012. The first version went live in June 2006, in support of our then-upcoming 40-year Class Reunion. Since then, we've enjoyed tens-of-thousands of visits from all over the U.S. and around the world. I plan to continue designing, authoring, maintaining, hosting, and funding this site on behalf of our class, for as long as I'm able to. I hope you like it, and that it's made it much easier for you to stay in touch and informed about class events.

There are hundreds of EHS 1967s out there, including at least five other Everett High Schools (Everett, CA; Palm City, FL; Everett, MA; Lansing, MI; Everett, PA; and Maryville, TN), but ours appears first whenever anyone does a search on Google or other major Internet search engine. That's because in 2006 I purchased and registered the EHS1967.com web domain on our class's behalf, before anyone else claimed it. We're also cross-linked on a number of other websites, including Wikipedia, Everett Public Schools, and a host of alumni sites.

Visitors are strongly urged to leave messages on the Guestbook, send us a note on the Contact Us form, or simply send us an e-mail. Also, please note we need classmate e-mail addresses if they have one, or they may not hear about some future news and upcoming events. As postage costs rise, and mailing addresses continually change, e-mail has become vital to our staying in touch on a timely and cost-effective basis.

EHS 1967 classmates are urged to share bits of their lives with us, by contributing to our "Memoirs & More" and "Humor" pages, by sending us photos or links to third-party photo sites, and by sending us letters like this one, which can be posted on this page for friends and classmates to read. For any website content you would like to contribute or see added, please contact us. Contributors will receive full credit for any significant content and ideas used on the site.

I'm a semi-retired Fortune 100 business executive, management consultant, writer, amateur photographer, and Mensan, with a strong inner-geek. I've never done hands-on website creation before, except herein and for my own use, and I'm sure that's painfully obvious on these pages. However, I really enjoy learning and doing challenging new things. Even old dogs can learn new tricks.

Working with our reunions, our committee members, and sponsoring this website, has been great fun. Please extend a big thanks to your past and present Reunion Committee (RC) members, who agonize for many months beforehand over how to bring you the best, and most memorable, cost-effective reunion experiences possible. In alphabetical order, your current RC members are:

Mrs. Sarah Davis, 02/25/2011

I wanted to tell you that, as a driver's education teacher, I've been using your page on classic cars: (http://www.ehs1967.com/cars.htm). I've compiled a list of resources for an assignment that I will give the students, allowing them to write one paper of their choice, associated with motor vehicles of their liking. One student in particular has a strong interest in classic cars. On that topic, here's a good page my student found, which you might want to include on your website: The Ultimate E-book for Car Information - http://www.carinsurance.org/. There are multiple references to classic cars, which my student is especially interested in, as well as information on car collecting, restorations, car shows, safe driving, history, and more. Each tab offers a lot of interesting material. Happy 2011!

Thank you, Mrs. Davis! I like the site you recommended, and I put a link to it on our webpage. Happy 2011 to you and your students, too! Bill Hughes, EHS 1967.

Bob Lee, 09/08/2009

On September 10th Donald (aka Carter the Great) will turn 60. I know my good dear friend would appreciate any and all wishes from the class of 67. Once again due to lack of interest I was unable to organize a fitting party for Donald. I know that all of us wish Donald a speedy recuperation from his shoulder surgery (rumor has it that it was self inflicted damage by throwing his golf clubs in anger). In closing I know that all of us wish Donald the very best and hope that he gets everything he deserves. Bob.

Cathy [Voie] Eisenman, 08/30/2009

I had dinner with my cousin last night. She flew up from LA to attend her 60th EHS reunion, which is being held at the VFW this afternoon. I asked her if she knew who would be attending. She said "no" and kind of raised her eyebrows as if she was thinking "I hope some others besides me". Thanks for always keeping us informed. It is so nice to have a clue so we know who to look forward to seeing. I hope you'll still be doing this when we are 78!!

Thanks for all your effort for our class. I was up in Nootka sound fishing for a week so I couldn't make the party, but it is nice to be able to follow on-line, Thanks again.

As some of you know, I sometimes kid my good friend, the incorruptible and generous Bob Lee, about being tight-fisted. This is done in jest as Bob always thinks of others first. While he is known as “DR. GREED” by all at Everett Golf and Country Club, it is merely a term of endearment. I do wish to thank him for generously posting an ad in the Herald on the day of the event (click thumbnail at left); however I was not surprised by this display of the obvious affection he has for all of his classmates. I also note that Bob used his favorite portrait in a pose that most all of us who know him well have seen many times over the years. I am, as always, truly humbled by the magnanimous gesture of Bob on the day of our party. I would hope that you will share this email and the attachment with all of our class so that they will know the high esteem in which I hold Bob. Regards, DW

From Bob Lee, advisor, confidant, close personal friend, and future cell mate of Don Carter

Diane [Durr] Coker, 08/07/2009

Hi - Had a good time at the 60th party. Good to see so many of our classmates. Any chance of putting names under the photos from the party? My memory, "She ain't what she used to be!" Have a great rest of the summer.

Well, Diane, you are by no means the first to suggest names on the photos! Now, if we can just remember to get that done... Huh? What were we talking about?

Dear Diane, please accept our condolences. EHS Class of 1967.

Julie [Dickey] Firouzi, 03/17/2009

Hello Friends, I plan to be at the 60th Birthday Party in July and I can't wait to see you all again . . . . . Sue Moe French, Nikki Koster Mickey, Noel Brown Downey and so many more of you.

Teresa [Mallang] Jones, 03/01/2009

All my husband and I do is spend time building and enjoying old cars -- street rods, etc. In fact, I joke that I live in a garage, which is kind of true. We have about 2,000 sq. ft. of living area, and about 7,000 sq. ft. of garage. A very nice way to live, but like back in the 50's. I still found time for 3 stepchildren (a stepson deceased), 5 grandsons, 3 great-granddaughters, and 4 cats -- Caprice, Harley, Chevelle, and Suzy Q. In addition, a banking career, managing our auto repair shop for 25 years, and just having a lot of fun. I was very fortunate to marry my best friend, Jess Jones. TJ

John Roberts, 11/12/2008

[From the Guestbook] I have found this site by following up the history of one of my ancestors. He was Enoch "Baggy" Bagshaw and he was coach to Everett High football team in the years after World War One. He went on to great feats in the national arena (I'm sure there will be many out there who know more than I do about his achievements.) He was originally from North Wales U.K. (as am I ) and his father Francis was the brother of my great grandmother. I am trying to find out as much as possible about him and maybe make contact with some of his descendants and other relations. Any information gratefully received. John Roberts (Flint, Flintshire U.K.)

Hello John, Thank you for signing our guestbook on www.EHS1967.com! Here are a few links about your ancestor, “Baggy” Bagshaw, . . .

I wish there were more here about the man than about the coach, but it is what it is. By the way, my own ancestors came from Wales in 1697, landing in Pennsylvania. They were Quakers, who fled persecution (hanging) by the King. We've since lost touch with all relatives in Wales and England. Take care. Bill Hughes

Thanks Bill. As you say, it would be nice to find out about Enoch the man, but, nevertheless, your help is much appreciated. I am slowly putting together some facts about the Bagshaw family but is is not easy at such a distance. I have some military facts about Enoch and some other relatives in WWI but beyond that he is a mystery. He did seem to find fame (if not fortune) by moving to the USA. The Internet is a great help of course and it is relatively easy to get in touch with generous people like yourself who give of their time to help me out. Thanks again and Best Wishes, John Roberts (Flint, Flintshire U.K.)

Margaret [Gish] Campbell, 09/21/2008

[I think you're right about all the interesting stories among EHS '67 classmates]. I wonder how many of us actually lived the life we thought we would when we were back in high school. And yet, no matter how diverse our courses, I bet we've all learned a lot of the same lessons. I like [the] 'charge' to have fun and find the humor in life. Well, there is a group of us from EHS who get together every summer, usually at my lake place, for 3 or 4 days. We started this after our reunion at the little fire station on the waterfront. We've taken that charge to heart as each year we go swimming, ski-doing, kayaking, hiking, biking (Hiawatha Trail this summer), and even jumping off a bridge. The conversations, tears, and laughter we share are priceless. A year ago, Jeep and Katie were on the lake (Coeur d'Alene) and joined us for dinner. It turned out to be their 25th wedding anniversary. What good sports! It really has been amazing how easily we all picked up where we left off in high school. Some of my best memories come from these get-togethers and it all started with a reunion. Who knows, your hard work in putting on our 40th may have encouraged others to rekindle old friendships. I hope so.

Susan [Myers] Williams, 09/10/2008

Thank you for sharing [the meeting minutes]. I get such a laugh. Wish I could attend the meetings. (Living in West Richland, WA)

Mary [Saunders] Snedden, 09/06/2008

If the [July 28, 2008] minutes are any reflection of the true meeting you had better get a big place for the birthday party because you seem to be gathering steam. Look forward to it.

Reply - We understand a few former EHS Class of 1968 officers chose not to lead a 40-year event. Instead of counting on a couple of your former classmates to take charge, why don't the rest of you get together and organize your own event? There's no rule that says only certain individuals can put together a class reunion. You don't need anyone's permission to have a great time with your former EHS classmates.

After working for 37 years, including my four years in the Air Force, I retired from the Everett Post Office. I've been married going on 28 years, next February. We have one daughter and two grandsons. Our youngest grandson, Ashton, turned one month old, yesterday. Our oldest grandson, Bailey, will be six in August. We moved to Florida to get out of the rain, to get to the hurricanes (ha ha). My daughter and grandsons are staying with us while their daddy is in Iraq. He was supposed to be home for good in June, but was extended until September. I'll be coming back to Washington next month for about two weeks, helping get my daughter settled. I'm sorry I missed the reunion. The most important things to me are my family and good health. I wish all my former classmates the best of luck with the same.

Sherry [Schnacker] Weiss, 07/18/2007

Thank you very much for making the 40-year Class Reunion a reunion I'll never ever forget, for the rest of my life. Wow! I wouldn't have missed it - what a memorable treat! Warm regards, Sherry.

Sherry, you're very welcome and thank you so much for attending. Not only did we have a blast putting the reunion together, the fact so many classmates and guests enjoyed it makes us very happy. Thank you!

Cynthia [Berentson] Aanestad, 07/18/2007

Janice [Jasper] Legg, 07/18/2007

What a great event! Thank you so much for all your hard work.

Annette Kerber, 07/16/2007

Please read. I sent a thank you to the school district for the [July 14, 2007] tour.

David Weatherholt, 07/13/2007

Hi - I’ve been looking forward to attending this reunion. Unfortunately, business is going to prevent me from getting down to Everett at this time. Starting the first ever professional football team in Alaska, even though it is a minor league team, has taken all of my time. I’ve gone from a single person with a vision to an organization with $1.2 million budget, 25 football players, 16 cheerleaders, coaches, sales and accounting people moving into the last weeks of our first season. What a wild ride - it has had more ups and downs than any roller coaster, and I hate roller coasters, but as they say it builds character. I didn’t think I needed that much character building!. Please pass on my regards to the class with my regrets for not being there. You can follow my ride by going to www.goakwild.com. Stay in touch.

Thanks so much for all your work on the reunion. John and I are here in Oxford (England) so we won't be able to be there this weekend. It would have been fun and we look forward to seeing pictures and whatever else is put online afterward. Please ask the committee to keep the class of '68 in mind as you clean out your committee notes, brainstorming lists, etc. We will begin our planning sometime soon. Thanks again for all your work! Have a fun weekend!

Reasons for attending reunion: This will be my first high school reunion.

Note--There were nearly 100 EHS 1967 classmates whose pictures were never included in the Nesika for a variety of reasons, so Larry is in good company. If you are among those, and can send us a personal photo circa 1967, we will post it on this website under the Photo Album / Missing Seniors page.

Don Carter, 06/29/2007 (Excerpt from the June 6th Reunion Committee minutes)

D.W. Carter, AKA "Sweets"

Live in North Palm Beach, FL....work in a trauma center as a registered nurse...work in the recovery room. I have been a nurse for 27 years and love it. Two children, 38 and 21...go figure...l have a nine year old granddaughter...I like being our age. Still love Seattle area...was there Oct. 2006...may relocate back there in a few years, assuming my 21 yr. old son graduates from college in a timely manner. I am happy with my life, and very little baggage or issues for the first time in years. Hope all of my old friends are happy, too....Wish I could be there in July...Have fun! Would love to see everyone...Are we grown up yet?..NOT! Carol

Reasons for NOT attending reunion: Just found out about it 06/2007..can't get time off work in summer...wish I could. Was in Seattle last October and visited with Nancy Stringfellow.

I will be in Argentina for the month of July so I will not be able to attend [the 40-year reunion on July 14th].

The reunion will be a great opportunity to see old friends and acquaintances. Hard to believe it's been 40 years.

Reasons for attending reunion: See old friends.

Retired at age 50 from real estate investments. Own properties in Florida where I snow-bird in the winter and own a Chimpanzee shelter. Fly a Cessna 150, have a Corvette and just try to enjoy life.

Reasons for attending reunion: See old friends.

I attended the University of Washington after graduation. I taught sixth grade for one year in the Everett School District. I then left for Germany to teach German high school students English as a Second Language. From there, I lived in Iran for 3 years, teaching English and Atomic Energy classes to cadets in the Imperial Iranian Air Force. I met my husband, returned to the states and we raised a family - first in the Everett/Marysville area and later in Texas. We have lived in Texas for 16 years. We have always enjoyed world travel with our family and now retired, we continue to do so. We even traveled the USA for a year in a spacious new RV. I missed the kids and our grandson so much I frequently abandoned my husband in "foreign" states for several days at a time to fly home to Texas to get my "fix". Usually I also picked up, or dropped off, our pre-school aged grandson who frequently traveled with us. And so, we enjoy being at home in Texas or spending Christmas in the snow in Leavenworth with extended family, summers at Lake Chelan and along the coasts of Washington, Oregon and California. We travel "across the pond" to quench our thirst for something really different. I can't wait to see y'all at the reunion.

How's it going? The planning committee has done a great job in organizing this event, and I will be there! I was just checking in. Steve Peterson said the invitations had been sent out, but I haven't received one yet. I gave my address some time ago, is it in the data base?

Reply - Hi Vince! You should have received an invitation in the mail. If not, you can register directly on the Reunions With Class (RWC) website. Press "Reserve Now" and enter your class code or select the option without a class code. Then, simply make your reservation online. Please contact us if you have any problems with the RWC site. Vince, we're looking forward to seeing you at the reunion!

I left Everett in 1968 when the parents moved to California. I'm still living here in San Diego and love it, but the wife and I are going to retire in Utah (no we aren't Mormons). The kids and grandkids live there. Hope to see all of you at the reunion.

Reasons for attending reunion: To see old friends.

I have worked for Providence Hospital for 16 years. I have two daughters. The oldest is Denise, and she has two children, Janden and Kiana (my grandchildren). My youngest daughter, Michelle, is getting married this July. She is a RN, working in a Mt. Vernon clinic. I am an avid horseback rider and belong to the Snohomish Chapter of the Backcountry Horseman Traildusters. My daughters and I have 3 horses - my grandchildren ride too. I can't wait to see everyone.

Andy and I have been married for 32 years. We have two sons, ages 29 and 27, plus a four-month-old granddaughter. We have lived in Ellensburg, WA for the last 16 years.

Reasons for attending reunion: To visit with friends that were such a big part of my life growing up.

John (Skip) Sponek, 02/20/2007

I didn't make the 30-year reunion so it has been a long time since I have seen most of you. This website if terrific. It has been so much fun reading classmates' comments and seeing the pictures. Now you can take me off the "missing" list.

Reasons for attending reunion: To see everyone.

Note--Shelly was our first "find" through our Everett Herald reunion notice. Thank you, Everett Herald!

I travel a bit on the job and currently am the national chair of a 26-states & territories group that operates workplace safety programs. So far I have lived in Everett, Seattle, Longview, Spokane, Lacey, and now Olympia. Can't beat Washington, for the people and the environment.

Margot [Bay-Schmith] Newcomb, 01/18/2007

I left work and Western Washington, in July 2003. We bought 3 acres with an old one-room school and home on it, in Kettle Falls. We are in the process of repairing the school. We will be opening it to the community for performing arts, and for local artists to show and sell their wares.

Teresa and I have been married 33 years. We have 4 daughters and 12 grandchildren. I recently retired after 36 years in construction. I spent a couple years in Alaska and the rest of them with Lakeside Industries, whom I still work for part-time, consulting from my home. Besides raising children, Teresa and I spent 20 years trying to be competitive runners. We never made it, but we love being outdoors, enjoying this beautiful Pacific Northwest any way we can.

Eugenia (Jeannie) [Merkel] Macrae-Smith, 01/09/2007

My husband and I just celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary, in December. I have been employed with the JCPenney Company as a Salon Manager, in Vancouver, WA, for 27 years. I did leave the company for about 5 years to become a travel agent, which I loved. But after spending all my money on travel, I had to get a real job, so I went back to JCPenney, where I have been since 1997. I am going to retire in June. Yea!! I can't wait. My husband and I plan on moving to Boise where my son lives with his wife and four girls. My daughter lives in Washougal with her husband and 3 children. I hope to see many of my former classmates at the reunion. See you then!

Reasons for attending reunion: To catch up on what the class of '67 is doing and maybe see some "kids" I haven't seen since graduating.

Reasons for attending reunion: See how everyone looks after 40 years.

Great job on putting this together!

I love being a Grandmother! My husband retired last year but I have a 3 day a week babysitting job now to pay for medical insurance. We have a mini business called Rainy Village Creations. We do some photography, and I teach craft and sewing classes. Life is busy busy busy but doing good.

Reasons for attending reunion: Margot said she would go if I would go!

After working for 25 yrs for Everett Parts Distributors/Piston Service Everett.(1966-1991) I retired went back to school, actually while I was working, and became a Computer Aided Design Drafter/Engraver for Duren Controls Inc.

Teresa [White] Seibert, 12/11/2006

Reasons for attending reunion: Would just be good to see everyone again.

Greetings to all classmates from Christina. I'm living a rustic life on the Hood Canal. Have a little cabin with a breath taking view of the canal and Mt. Rainier. While in Everett on Federal we had a view of sunsets, here it is, sunrises. At this time, the love of my life is a very pregnant lab pound puppy. The highlight of my life has been a teaching stint on the Navajo Rez. Most of my best memories come from that period in my life. I still love traveling and visiting relatives in Germany. Recently have had some wonderful vacations with Dina.

Reasons for attending reunion: Casual gathering or great entertainment

Paula [Curnutt] Guttmann, 12/06/2006

Feel like a kid again hearing from classmates. Look forward to getting together before the reunion, during the reunion and after.

Reasons for attending reunion: To consort with other EHS grads.

Reunion ideas: Inspiring Storytelling or Great entertainment like Stadium High School in Tacoma had.

P.S. Oh, and thanks for the explanation on the Friday night function...................no biggee as far as I'm concerned either way............it might even be fun with a few Bruins there, I guess!

Thanks for all your effort in getting the class of 67 organized! I am pleased to inform the team that Sally Norway Anderson and I are still residing at the same address and her (our) personal email information is [omitted to protect privacy]. I am certain that Sally would like to receive updates - she is the more responsible member of the family anyway.

Katie and I have been married for 24 years and have two girls, Kelsey (22) and Jenny (20) both of whom graduated from EHS. Kelsey attended WSU and is now getting her nursing degree from Walla Walla Community College and Jenny is attending UW where she is a junior.

Jennifer [Johnston] Georges, 10/08/2006

Dear Committee,

Thank you for organizing the EHS 40th reunion! I am very impressed with this website and being contacted by Annette Kerber. The committee is really on the ball! I am very much looking forward to the reunion. I am still teaching school and it takes up all my time (and most of my energy). I live in Kirkland with my husband, Britt. We spent all last year remodeling our house--something I will never, ever do again. Several of us (Sally Mitchell, Margaret Gish, Susan Jensen, Susan Radke and I) get together every summer. Needless to say, we always talk about the "good old days" at EHS. Thanks for all your hard work.

Reasons for attending reunion: To see everyone again.

Reasons for attending reunion: See old friends.

Linda Bauman-Houglum, 10/03/2006

Greetings from Alaska! It is wonderful to hear about the class reunion!! Thank you to the "working committees" who will make this special event happen! Will write more later....

Reasons for attending reunion: It would be wonderful to see everyone again!!! It would be fun to remember so many significant moments with friends during our high school years at EHS. I want to share life stories with each other, to be proud, happy, and supportive of each other at this time in our lives. As I remember, the EHS Class of 1967 was a gifted group of students showing much promise for the future. What a great time to get together to celebrate our lives and each other!!! Hope Tom and I will be able to be there....

Reunion ideas:

1. How about a Reunion T-Shirt with a meaningful quote from the past or a wish for the future to our class? Could be worn for informal get-togethers and help solve the "clothes" issue.

2. People will probably do this anyway, but bring pictures to share!! Lots of them!

3. Have a photographer take pictures of friends, groups, (e.g. choir/band members present, etc.), spouses/significant others, etc. Maybe a large group picture as a memento.

4. How about a donation to Habitat for Humanity or the Boys & Girls Club or ???? in honor of the members of our class (living and deceased). I think this opportunity would be legacy and be meaningful in a hands-on way. We are still the generation that wants to make the world a better place!

Mary [Hurley] Dahmen, 10/01/2006

Registered by proxy: "Mary may have registered herself so I am just submitting the info I obtained. Her parents live in Everett and she seemed quite interested in attending the reunion."

Vickie [Hoyden] Pilch, 10/01/2006

Registered by proxy: "Vickie would like to have information on the reunion mailed to her so she can discuss plans with her husband."

Cynthia [Berentson] Aanestad, 09/29/2006

Reasons for attending reunion: See old friends and see what guys still have all their hair (and teeth).

Dear EHS 1967 Classmates,

Like many of us, I left Everett shortly after high school to serve in the armed forces. Soon afterward, I married Becky (CHS '67), my lovely bride of 37 years, and we raised three wonderful, successful children. During that time, I also graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Economics, earned an MBA from Seattle University, and attended Seattle University School of Law. I've been an executive insider or a management consultant with some of America's largest, best-known corporations, for whom I've lived, worked and traveled all over the United States.

At the risk of sounding like John Boy Walton, I will never forget childhood in that odoriferous, gritty, and tough, but friendly old mill town that was Everett in the 1950s and 60s. I have vivid memories of attending grades 1-12 with many of you, and grades 7-12 with many more. In my mind, the quirky nostalgia of Garrison Keillor's tales of fictitious Lake Wobegon is no more poignant than that from the real-life Everett of our day, but I digress. Despite all of our travels and the fact most of us have lost touch, I've always felt our EHS Class of 1967 is like brothers and sisters in some vast extended family, playing out our lives on this grand stage of life.

This website is my brainchild and I hope visitors find something worthwhile. I conceived, created, maintain, host, and fund the site solely for the benefit of my former EHS classmates. Like any parent, I'm rather attached to my offspring and a bit protective. However, your ideas, suggestions and contributions to site content are more than welcome. In fact, I would appreciate them and will certainly give you full credit where they are used.

To reach me, other EHS 1967 committee members, or other classmates in general, sign our Guestbook and visit our Contact Us page. Until we meet again, we'd love to hear from you!

Warmest regards,

Bill Hughes

Reasons for attending reunion: Keep up on old friends.

      This is a very nice site. Someone did a lot of work; I know that Bill Hughes has had a lot to do with the site development. Great job and Thanks.

     Our High School days were a long time ago and it amazes me the impact it has had on my life that short 3 years filled with so many great memories. It saddens me though to see the memorial page and to learn that not all of us continue on the journey.

     Enough waxing poetic. I've lived in Anchorage, Alaska for the past 18 years and have developed strong feelings for the city and state. My wife and I live comfortably and enjoy our two surviving grown children Jamie, 31, and Jennifer 24. My daughter Angie passed away 6 year ago at the age of 31.

We need to keep us all together until we can’t. We are the 75th class. Very special. I worked in the PC/Lan and Telecom group for 20 years at the Bank so I know what you are doing. You are awesome! I went all through school with some of our classmates. Garfield Elementary, North Junior, and Everett High School. It is so nice to see everyone. I do have a few friends at Cascade through TFC and old church Central Lutheran. See you soon.

(From Herb Fuge): Don is in the hospital recovering from a heart attack at this time. Give him a few days to get home. Thanks. Herb, class of 1966.

I haven't lived in Washington in 25 years. Because of corporate America we have moved 8 times in those years and only repeated 2 states. Now semi-retired and living in Colorado.

Reasons for attending reunion: See everyone.

Life is good. My husband and I have two beautiful daughters, the oldest of which got married this summer. Our youngest is a Junior at Western Washington University. My husband retired 7 years ago and attempts to be a house-husband while I continue to work at the same great company and for the same great guy for the past 36 years, but I'm going to be cutting back on work beginning next month, which I'm definitely looking forward to. My main source of Everett communication is with Susie Peterson Schmidt and Harold McNeil. I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone at the reunion next summer.

Reasons for attending reunion: See people I haven't seen in 40 years.

Reasons for attending reunion: I've never been to one.

Single. I've lived in Edmonds for 32 years but may move North sometime. My job of 30.7 years at US Bank was centralized in 2005 to Minneapolis and Denver. I now work at Northwest Hospital in North Seattle. I sing with SnoKing Community Chorale at Edmonds Community College and our new home will be at the new Edmonds Performing Arts Center in downtown Edmonds. I am blessed to have my Dad. He will be 88 in November. He remarried when my Mom died. He married Darlene Law. I have had Husky Football season tickets for 20 years and attend the games with my Dad. I very much look forward to seeing and talking with everyone at the reunion. Feel free to call me or email me. Reason for attending reunion: To see and converse with my old classmates - everyone.

Reasons for attending reunion: Just visit with old friends.

Retired from the maritime industry after 32 years. Divorced, no kids. Condo on Alki in West Seattle. Waterfront acreage on Hood Canal.

Reasons for attending reunion: Visit with classmates I have not seen in a long time.

I'm teaching third grade and love it. We're doing a bit of traveling but I love spending summers at our lake place on Lake Coeur d'Alene. A few years ago I was hosting a high school girl friends (Sally Mitchell, Susan Jensen, and Susan Prescott) retreat and guess who we met on the water...Jeep Carpenter. What a small world!

Reasons for attending reunion: See my "old" friends...old sweethearts!

e-Mail: Great to hear that a planning committee has been formed. For the last 10 summers, Margaret Gish, Sally Mitchell, Susan Radke, myself and Jennifer Johnston get together for a two-three night sleep over. We were wondering if anyone was going to plan for it. We all meet the second week in August, so if there is something we all could do together those days, let me know. I would love to help in the planning as well. Let me know.

I retired 6 years ago and just completed a PhD in Mining Engineering at West Virginia University where I teach Mining Engineering courses. Married with two sons, both in engineering school. Dan

Reasons for attending reunion: I have only been able to attend one since graduation.

Reasons for attending reunion: To see my classmates

I will review the (classmate) lists mentioned above and let you know (if I know anyone's contact info). I have been in DC since 1974. This website is a great idea and a great contribution. Thank you!
