From Cathy:


I taught swimming, golf and aerobics, and after 8 years as Manager of the gift shop at the local hospital, I decided to start my own business. In July of 2008, Washington's first true retail store in many years opened in the old Penney's building. It's called "The Village". Please stop in and see me when you're in town!

Married 49 years to Jim, an attorney. Oldest daughter Lisa has 2 kids at the University of Iowa and lives in Iowa City. Jennifer lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with her husband and teenaged step-son.

My mother will soon be 96...I am convinced that she will outlive me!

Really looking forward to seeing you all again soon...and many, many thanks to the committee for this wonderful site...and especially to Margarette who kept bugging me to post something!

50 years--WOW!

Danny and I will celebrate our 50th anniversary this year.  We've been blessed with a son and a daughter and two grandchildren.  Our children and our siblings live within a 50 mile radius so we enjoy making memories with them .

I enjoy quilting, reading, and camping.  The Iowa Stte Fair is our family vacation--we love it!

Since 1960, I've been employed as a receptionist at a medical office, an insurance company's office manager/bookkeeper, an elementry school's offfice secretary, and library-media secretary and Director of the Wellman-Scofield Public Library.

I became restless after a few years of retirement so I sub at our elementary pre-school.  Yes, children still 'teach' me a lot of things.

Technology is great, but I have taken a 'leave of absence' from computers since being involved with setting up/trouble shooting the computer lab at the elementary and the public library (30 years total.)

My plans are uncertain for our reunion.  I have the dates on my calendar

From Sue:
Hi, All--50 years gone in such a short time!!  Seems like it was just a couple of years ago--not 50!!

Loving retirement--stay busy volunteering at the Senior Center one day a week, take classes one day a week, and play cards @ the center as time allows.  When  needed, I help in my grandson's second grade class, reading or helping the teacher.  Same with the younger grandson's Tues-Thursday school at the church.  Love to cook and try new recipes and travel when time allows.

Don't know at this time if I will make it in Setember; if not, I will think of all of you!

I started Armstrong Htg. and Air Cond. Business 1982.  Our son Kenny is now the owner, and I continue to work for him.
We have have three children, seven grandchildren, two step grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. They all live close by, so we can visit and attend their activities.
We ride bicycles, riding Ragbrai six years, and motor cycle.  We have cycled to Montana, Wyoming in 2008, and plan to cycle to Colorado this year.
We have an acreage with a pond.  The grandchildren enjoy the fishing, and our oldest grandson, Jason, looks forward to deer hunting with Grandpa.
It is hard to believe it has been 50 years!

From Lucille:
Greetings from the SENIOR member of the class to those somewhat younger. I am the only member of the 1960 class who is also a member of the class of 1944.

I dropped out of school in my Junior year to help my parents with living expenses.  Thirteen years later, I decided to return to school and receive a high school Diploma. I will never forget the wonderful reception exhibited by the members of the class and the teachers.  It was an experience to be remembered the remainder of my life. I love each one of you for it!

On June 7, 1947, I married Donald E. Smith.  We had two children:  Beverly Kay, born March 25, 1948 and Stephen Donald, born on July 1, 1951.  Don died very suddenly, (acute pancreatitis) on July 3, 1973.  On October 7, 1978, I married Jack Bonham and moved to Denver, Colorado for 6 years.  Jack's wife, Lois, died in 1977, (Cancer).  He took early retirement from Dowell Division of Dow Chemical Company in 1984 and we moved back to Washington.  Jack has two children, Judy, 55, and Lesa, 53.  We have 10 grandchildren, and at last count, 24 great-grandchildren.

I continue to work full time as an Abstractor, now in my 38th year.  I love the work and the challenges if often presents.

Jack is semi-retired, working at a bookkeeping job 3-4 hours daily, and keeps bank accounts for 3 businenesses on his home computer.
