Birthday: May 21, 1942 Occupation: retired Marital Status: Married No. of Children: 2 From Dolores:
I have been retired from nursing since January 2004. I worked at the U of I Student Health for 30 years as the Assistant Nurse Manager. Before that I worked at Mercy Hospital as a Nursing Supervisor on the medical floor and 11/2 years in a private office with 2 doctors. I really enjoyed my nursing career and expecially working with the college students.
I met my husband, Frank, in Iowa City when I was a student nurse and we were married in 1963 when I graduated. He is from Iowa City and we have always lived here .
My husband retired in August 2004. He was in law enforcement with the LC. Police Dept and then an investigator for the Dept. of Corrections for his career. In fact, our son is the third generation in law enforcement on my husband's side of the family.
We both work part time for a local real estate developer and do their open houses. It is very flexible with our schedules, and gives us an outlet for something new and different.
We have two children, a son and a daughter and four grandchildren, 3 boys and 1 girl. They live in the area so we attend all their events and enjoy them immensely. We also help out with appts etc. if their parents need us.
Our daughter is a substitute elementary education teacher and our son is with the DCI.
I like to read, enjoy the Hawkeyes & travel, going to Arizona in the winter for a month or so. Although this year we are going to Florida and our daughter and family will come over spring break to go to Disney and the theme parks. When I retired I went on a cruise to Alaska and took the train thru Denali National Park and ended in Fairbanks. It is truly the last frontier. I have a friend with a lake home iin Ws. and go there every summer and fall. We still want to go to the New England states, and I'd like to go to Ireland as my mother's family was from there.
It will be so nice to see everyone at our 50th! Thanks to the committee for all your work and planning for this big event !

(retired librarian) Marital Status: Widowed From jo: all pics date back at least 15 years or look like mug shots of someone old and fat. Oops! that really is me!
i've been some sort of librarian most of my adult life, except for a few years when i was a "cellar rat" in my husband's small commercial winery.
i retired last fall and in the true meaning of retirement have done "not much" since. i do try to report to those who ask that i've accomplished at least one thing/day. i use accomplish in the broadest sense of the term: today i went to the y, the jewelers, the grocery, and the library; later i'll go to the movies. impressive, huh?
i travel some, and when my money runs out... well, by then, maybe i'll have "lost the plot" and will think that a homeless shelter is just another hostel and the cat food is pate.
looking forward to reconnecting with the class of '60.

Birthday: June 05, 1942 Occupation: Chemical Engineer Marital Status: Divorced No. of Children: 2 From John: I think our "now" photos look much better than our "then" photos. You notice how we are more mature and natural and not "posed". Just think how much better we will look in another 50 years. Also, think how many more marriages we can go through. Just think of the number of children we can have, each still standing around with their hand out. And grandchildren, oh so many birthdays to remember and the joy of christmas, each with a mountain of childhood toys. But enough for now, I must return to the barefooted clan here in Utah.

Birthday: April 10, 1942 Occupation: Retired Teacher Marital Status: Married No. of Children: 2 From Jerry: After 45 years of teaching high school business I just retired in June of 2009 from Linn-Mar in Marion. I really enjoyed teaching and had a hard time deciding to quit. I may continue with some substituting??? My wife retired from teaching last year and we will now spend most of our extra time being with our 2 children and 5 grandchildren in Chicago. Our son moved there about 20 years ago and the daughter followed 6 years later so we have spent sometimes 2 or 3 weekends a month driving for visits. Several years ago we bought a condo in Bella Vista AR so we hope to spend some winter time there, where they play golf year around, and with other travels.
Nice web site to keep in touch. Thanks.
