Muriel Arnold  Muriel Arnold Wrede (David) wrededavid~@~hotmail.com 1436 Sunset St., Longmont, CO 80501 (303-776-6868) Yes I visited the web page for SVHS you set up.  I got a kick out of it.  My daughter was at our home ... when I logged on and she thought the year book was neat.  That is great you did that.  I am not very computer literate.  Providenciales ... is in the country of The Turks and Caicos, a group of islands about 90 miles due north of Haitii and the Dominican Republic. If you use a magnifying glass on an Altas of the north Caribbean you might spot it.  We can get still get hotmail ....  I am hoping we have a reunion next summer, it would be fun to see every one. I went back to SV with Dave last summer for his 45th in Stewartville. Maybe see you next summer.

Dale, Thank You for putting the www site together!  Was trying to prepare myself for the reunion and enjoyed reading up on the classmates.

My apologies for not getting any information to you sooner.  I've been in the insurance business since 1967 and started my own independent property/casualty agency in Jan. 1984.  When the stock market crashed in 2001 it caused many of the companies I worked with to start withdrawing from the market place and gave me some incentive to sell the agency while there still was something left to sell.  The "feat" was accomplished and effective July 1, 2001 am now unemployed.

Mary and I celebrated 43 years of marriage June 2002.  We reached our allotment of two boys and two girls (in that order) who have given us 6 wonderful Grandchildren.  The oldest (and only girl) just graduated from high school this May.

Mary and I are busy sprucing up the house.  Our intent is to sell and move to Branson, Missouri.  Between fixing up the house and tossing junk
I've signed up for electric bass lessons.  After SVHS I spent 4 years with the SAC Band at Offutt AFB in Omaha.  Accept for one short song at church on the string bass a lot of years ago I really hadn't touched a bass instrument since leaving the Air Force in 1961.

I'm also attempting to learn golf.  I've signed up for the SVHS reunion golf outing.  I don't recall any classmates being fond of golf (pasture pool) so, am curious to see how many have signed up for the Friday outing.

See you at the reunion.
Bob Jahns

Earl Johnsen  Earl Johnsen (Yvonne) eyj~@~uslink.net  667 Wildemere Dr., Pine River, MN 56474 (218-587-2626)
We have lived in the Pine River area since 69 and I have been retired for several years after 27 years in the school system as a senior high counselor and middle school principal.
My wife Yvonne retired this year, also from teaching, and we built a new home on Whitefish Lake in 93.  We have two maried kids and one granddaughter.  We are taking advantage of retirement to do some traveling and so will leave on
a 5 week trip to New Zeland and Australia in two weeks.

Terry Jorris  Terry Jorris terryj~@~net-star.net  21541 Impala Ln., Huntington Beach, CA 92646 (714-962-3423) After the Air Force Academy I went to graduate school at MIT and then to an AF laboratory where I was able to work on experiments for the Gemini and Apollo space programs,  and even met a few famous astronauts.
In the Vietnam era I helped develop the now well publicized AC-130 gunship and flew combat missions over Laos and Vietnam on the early AC-130 prototype.
I spent time in Washington DC working space and fighter programs and my eldest, Tim, was born in Maryland in 1970.
Tim is now a Captain in the AF at Edwards AFB in CA and recently graduated from test pilot school as a engineer.
A second son, James, was also born in MD (in ’82) and is now in a local Jr college.
In ’83 I came out here to CA to work in the space Star Wars program and have been here since, living in the same beach community my father, Loren, retired in, so we get together often.
My youngest, Teresa, was born here in ’84 and is a senior in HS.
I retired from the AF in ’89 and was an overpaid consultant for a couple of years, and then joined Science Applications International Corp (SAIC), a high tech, lower half of the Fortune 500 company;  I’m still with SAIC, working with the AF on GPS just one building away from where I started in ’83.
I divorced in ’97, ....  The younger two children have always lived with me, but it's still difficult for all three of them
I think we’re all planning on staying here in Southern California; nobody even wants to leave long enough to go to college out of state.  (They’re all spoiled; they didn’t have to walk through snowdrifts to get to school.)
Marie Joslin  Marie Joslin Tart mtart~@~mayo.edu 720 Memorial Dr, Spring Valley, MN 55975 (507) 346-2144  "Married in 1959. Have 7 children and 12 grandchildren, all who live within 50 miles from me. Divorced and working at the Mayo Clinic as a medical secretary, just celebrating my 15th anniversary. I now live in Rochester and my youngest daughter lives with me. I could have taken early retirement last
year but after being confined at home recouping from knee surgery I changed
my mind. I was just to bored and found I really love my job".

That is it for the profile if you wish to use any of it.
Other than that I have no social life. celibacy is the name of the game.  That brings me to a little bet that was made a few years ago by four guys, by the names of Dale, Steve, Paul & Dick. I beleive it went like this. $100.00 each to the one who remained single the longest.  Paul seem to have a short memory and I'm not for sure about the others.
Keep in touch and if you ever get up this way give me a call.

Best.....

Reason for chosen listing method

The reason I listed our classmates using the first name in the first column is because we called each other by their first names. I don't ever recall saying, "Miss Kumm, B, may I talk to you for a minute". The reason I used the word "Miss" is because that was correct during our day and time. If I've offended any "libbers" by using "Miss" instead of "Ms", tough cookies (and not the ones used on the internet and stored in your computer).

And to my warped logic, if I were to list the last names first, it would be backwards and I would have to do the names thusly: "eknuhcs elad" and it would take a long time to change all names and can you imagine how long it would take to change Helen Fenstermacher Hintze's name or John Jacob Jocobhimmer Schmitz's name.
