From Joanne:Still kicking here in New Jersey--moving to North or South Carolina by 2017! Trying to travel as much as possible in this uncertain world in which we live. I have discovered after losing a child that I'm no longer afraid of anything, except perhaps the US Government. Cheers!

From Vandy :Hi All, I had also hoped to join the Reunion, but was unavoidably out of the country. I've heard that it was a great time. Looking forward to the 50th.

A quick update on us. We lived in Cincinnati (with P&G) for 14 years, then did 8 years in Singapore, Malaysia and Japan, after which we moved to the Denver area. Life here is good. I'm active in the Innovation field, with a fund, various consulting services, and several startups. I'm also active on several Boards and in philanthropy for spinal cord research and scholarships for disabled students. My wife, Betty, was a School Psychologist in our pre-Asia days, and has volunteered and tended to our flock since. We regularly enjoy Broncos games and take frequent advantage of our proximity to the Mountains.

Oldest son, Brian, is located in CT, just finished renovating a circa 1745 house in New Canaan, and had his first child one year ago. Middle child, David, is a Chemical Engineer with Phillips 66 in OK and has shown awesome determination after being seriously paralyzed in a ski accident freshman year in college. And youngest, Laura, is an impassioned teacher of Spanish and History in the Denver area, and is the biggest Broncos fan of the bunch.

It looks like there are several classmates in CO -- we'll have to pull off a Western mini-reunion!

City:Concord State/Prov.:MA Occupation:retired Marital Status:Married No. of Children:2

From Anne Marie:Hi all, so nice to find this site. So sorry to have missed the 45th reunion. Somehow I missed news of the 45 and didn't think about it until now. I have two adult (finally) children: Peter a freelance journalist in Santa Fe and Hannah in commercial real estate in Boston. And two step children with two delightful grandbabies, both of whom are close to Concord. Have lived in Concord for almost 40 years, worked for years in technology and then a middle school teacher (payback for my middle school years) and now retired, keeping busy with volunteer activities, travel and quilting of all things. So very nice to see so many familiar names on this website and will reach out soon.

From kate:Hi everyone: So sorry I was unable to make the reunion! We finally sold our house in Trumbull, and relocated to Lansdale, PA the weekend before. We are finally settled, and loving life in PA; downsized to a condo, no upkeep, and right next door to middle daughter Kirsten and our 3 grandchildren; Luke, 10; Drew, 8; and Reese, 2. As Anahid said, life with grandchildren is GRAND!! We spend the winters in Naples, FL - we'll leave right after Thanksgiving, and come back to PA in May - really feel like we have the best of both worlds! Loved seeing the pictures and update from the reunion - hopefully I will make the next one!

City:Lone Tree State/Prov.:CO Occupation:RN/Speech Pathologist Marital Status:Married No. of Children:2

From Sandy:7/30/2014: I love seeing everyone's news. I am sorry I am unable to be at the reunion. I had to go to NC to see my father and step mother...yes, both still alive! I am still in Colorado and my husband, Bill, and I continue to work. I am doing research, education and training for concussion management and awareness in pediatrics (RN and Speech Pathologist). We have friends who are part of the NFL lawsuit and it is heartbreaking to see what happens later in life. Our work is being used by concussion specialists and the CDC and so it goes on.
Both of our children and their families followed us to Colorado. Our daughter Lyndsay, husband Josh, have two daughters, Kherrington (5) and Katherine (2 1/2). Our son, Doug, married Kristina Vasys, on the beach in Mexico in May 2014. My brother, Chris Young, is still living in Darien and my sister, Conni Young Moore, is in Wilton.
Have a wonderful weekend and I can't wait to see pictures an updates.

I married my college sweetheart in 1973, Bill Adams from Boston. We have two fabulous children, Lyndsay (husband is Josh Turner) and Doug. One grandchild, Kherrington (5/08/09). I work as an RN and my husband has been in the sporting goods world forever. His job with Spalding Sports/Russell Athletic brought us to Denver (I never thought I would live west of the Mississippi), but WE LOVE IT!! Miss you all...have a blast. OMG...40 years...now, 40 more to go!!!

From Peter:

WOW!!!

Can't believe it's been 45 years (and I haven't been to one of these before) - my bad.

After WAY too many years of partying, finally settled down in the Richmond, VA area. Met Amy, had a couple of kids, still working - having kids later in life will do that to you!!! The pic of the four of us is a little old but still reasonably accurate. (we're terrible at taking pictures)

Daughter Sarah, now 21, will be a Sr. at VA Tech - intends to be a Chemistry teacher. Played travel and high school soccer. Like her Mom, loves animals and loves to ride (horses) - grew up riding with her Mom. Just came back from a month-long trip to S. Africa.

Son Kris, now 19 and almost 20, played travel hockey for years - very talented athelete and hockey player, but got a little burnt out and stopped after high school. Timing was bad for college, so he's at the local community college & planning on transferring. Right now, the bum is living and surfing in OBX (Outer Banks) this summer and working at a surf shop - must be nice!!!

Other than work, I play a little golf & collect golf memorabilia, drink too much wine, and try to not take life too seriously. Amy works for Cap One and loves to ride (horses - since she was a young girl). Has a horse (Sally), foxhunts, does a little showing, etc. I used to ride but don't right now.

I've been blessed with good health (other than falling down stairs and destroying knees), a wonderful wife and two great kids. Saddens me greatly to see those who have passed! Looking forward to seeing those who haven't at the reunion.
