Laura lives in Monterey and works in Pacific Grove and Mira lives in Pleasant Hill and works in Concord. My son, Michael lives is in Sacramento and works for Broadway Sacramento - California Musical Threater.

We bought a motorhome two years ago and have enjoyed many road trips, the highlight being to Idaho last year to see the Total Solar Eclipse. Absolutely breathtaking! A truly cosmic experience! We look forward to many more adventures. Our honeymoon was spent visiting seven national parks, so we've come back to where it all began!

From Caryl:Thank you to all of you who organized our big 50th celebration! I am so looking forward to catching up with many of you and sharing our HS and life stories.

We have been retired for 8 years now! For me it was an adjustment, but each year gets better and busier. We have 6 grandchildren and 3 of them live close to us in Grass Valley, which is wonderful. The other 3 are in Canada, which means frequent trips to Vancouver. We try to travel often, but at home I volunteer, exercise, read, and paint, which I love.

See you on Friday night....

I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a BS in Radiologic Technology (X-Ray Tech), and worked in Colorado for 5 years. Then I moved back to the East Bay, training in and teaching Aikido for 27 years. I retired from Aikido in 2007, and have worked as an independent filmmaker since then.

Local filmmaking covers a lot of territory - seminars, events, presentations, promotions, personal histories - lots to work out there. I work with the City Channel/Pleasant Hill, Rasur Foundation International, various individuals, and am also the instructor of Final Cut Pro X, Apple's video editing application, for Berkeley's local TV station, Berkeley Community Media. Life stays fun and interesting!

Our last reunion was amazing - I'm so looking forward to the 50th!
