Kim:      Just a brief note to add to your list of contacts.   Based on limited info of RENO NV, I decided to pursue further for my next door neighbor & partner in, shall we say, "Adventures".   Gary Groh.   By USA -people-search.com, I narrowed the window & made a cold call.    Left a 'memory-message', that if he eventually heard, there would be no doubt I was not a telemarketer.   Well, not his current number, but the message DID get passed to him within 48 hrs.   He called me on 4 Jan 09 & we did our best over 2 hrs, to fill-in the blanks for about the last 30 years.   I had been skiing within 15 miles of him in '02 during a trip to Lake Tahoe.   With his son still in the Troy area, our plan is to do dinner or Lunch whenever he comes to Michigan again.  I have communicated with Jack Trumble & I think he wants in on the get-together.  I'm buying the first couple rounds.        He was doing well & planning a move soon within the greater Reno area.  I hope to use the directory info a again in coming months, to touch base with some foks that may be near where we may be traveling in '09 & '10.  Thanks to you & Doug Hamilton for all the hard work.            I have it in writing, from not "ONE", but a Panel of Doctors @ Henry Ford-that say: 'I'm Stable now".   Never was nor ever expect to be NORMAL, but it's good to get a 'Stable"  rating--at least till next evaluation in Fall.  Local friends find this humorous, I find it encouraging.  Also enjoy checking the guestbook periodically.   Take Care, Ron

I moved from Birmingham in December of 1962 to Tempe, Arizona and graduated from Tempe Union High School. I went to Arizona State University for two years and transferred to The University Of Minnesota where I obtained a BA in mathematics. I moved from Minneapolis to San Diego, California in 1975. Started my own business in the computer industry, got married had some children, the home, the dog and several cars. We are empty nesters! I am now retired, my wife is still working part time and we live most of the time in a in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.

It's the first time that I have had since the fall to say "thank you" for all of your work, time and efforts.  A special thanks to all who made it back home.  Come again- we didn't have enough time this time. Cindy

This is really exciting.  I attended our 5th year Reuion (in my Army Uniform..Very unpopular then!) and have not attended again since,so this is new for me.  (I spent 6 1/2 years in Southeast Asia, and in 1979 left for a tour in Europe.  Other than visiting my kids, I stayed in Europe until 1993.I returned to the US and after 16 months of intensive schooling and training, became a Certified, Licensed and Nationally Board Certified Massage Therapist. I have owned and operated "Muscle Kneads Therapeutic Massage, by Ron Lotero in Sierra Vista, Arizona since 1995.  I am now entering a "Semi-retirement" phase in my practice, where I am "attempting" to work only three and a half days per week, rather than the 8 - 12 hour days six days.I may miss the Football Game as I plan to have dinner,etc. with my Michigan Kids on Friday night.I look forward to seeing you on Saturday, knowing its beeen 40 years and I assume you may have changed as much as I.  Until then, I am honestly very excited about this reunion.              Ron Lotero

I just spent time reading all the Guest Book messages...      There a a couple of things my classmates should know.  One, if I can ever get my compter to function (which has NOT been the case for a while) then I fill emails and messages , without thought.  Two, it is not wise to allow me time with a micrphone in my hand, (HA)To add a bit, I am married to Cindi, who works  at our local Military installation, Fort Huachuca-Home of Military Intelligence and Signal & Interglobal Networks.  She is a Nationally Board Certified Pharmacy Technician and the Pharmacutical Buyer and Supply Officer. she has a daughter, Jennifer, living in Tucson.   My four are Rick, 43 in  San Mateo, CA (a partner in the ORACLE computer co., Randy 42, in Wixom, in Advertising and a free-lance writer, Amy, 42  (yes, Twins)  working in her sisters Salon & Spa and living in Farmington Hills and Laurie 41, Commerce Twnship, Owner of V Salon & Spa, Livonia.  We have two grandchildren and Two Great-Grandchildren.My mother, Ruth the cashier in the B'ham HS Cafeteria died of Cancer in CA in 1972. (Age 50)  Dad (Ray) died this past Nov 07 of Cancer at age 89.I have worked since age 9 (with a Soc Sec #) and am thinking about retiring, especially since this tired old body doesn't  seem to bounce back these days.For all of you who remember my siblings, since each of them followed Class 63, Rick 64, Ruthie 65 and Rob 66.  Add a 20 years younger brother ,Reed age 43. Reed is an Engineer (soon to be Captain) on the LA Fire Dept,  Rob is an attorney inSanta Rosa, CA, Ruthie is retired and living in Rome (Sezza) Italy, Rick is a Retired Engineer from Long Beach,CA and lives in Green Valley, AZ.So now, one is able to read both manuscripts I submitted and try to remember, don't hand me the microphone  :>)                             RON  LOTERO

Can you believe it's been 45 years and our reunion committee is on time for once! Have enjoyed working on the reunion and seeing so many wonderful people. Hope we will see even more of our class in the fall. Dick and I have been married for 41 happy years and are enjoying our retirement and senior discounts! I have had so much fun redecorating, reading, gardening and finally having time to do the daily crossword puzzle! Sold my yarn store but still enjoy knitting for our 3 beautiful grandchildren-the best!!

How terrific our class is having a 45th!!  At least we'll all know how old everyone is!  Does anyone know Lillian Jackson's contact #?  Hope all is well with everyone and I look foward to seeing some 'old' faces.(I hate that word)  Kudos to all of you who are putting this together.  Carol Goddard Price

Our lives have taken so many different paths over these 45 years. It will be great to meet and see each other again. My husband, Richard, and myself have 2 children and 6 grandchildren. They have been the center of my life. I still fly and I am actively involved with the Michigan Ninety-Nines. In 2004 we built a home on an airpark in Edgewood, New Mexico, and share time between Michigan and New Mexico. Rich and I run a family-owned mechanical contracting company in Michigan. I hope you can make the 45th!
