From Bill:55th Class Reunion Committee Member. Very honored to have served on the 40th, 45th, 50th,and now the 55th Class Reunion Committee. I worked for 7 yrs in the DC Area for C&P Telephone Co. while I earned an AA in Accounting. I completed my education at George Washington University and graduated with a BS in Accounting in 1977. My first accounting position was with Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus in 1971. I later passed the CPA Exam and became a CPA in 1988. I am not contemplating retirement as of yet, but I have cut back on client work. I am still not sure what I want to be when I grow up.. My wife Karen and I have moved our consulting businesses from the DC Area to the mountains of North Carolina in 2007. Karen has also been active on the 40th, 45th, 50th, and 55th Reunion Committees, and is the webmistress for the class web site.

Occupation:Retired Marital Status:Married No. of Children:8

From Carole:

Paul and I have 8 children and 22 grandchildren (ages 2-21). After graduating from the University of Dayton, we lived in Cleveland for 20 years. In 1982, we moved to Duluth, MN. Following in my parents footsteps, I taught for 20 years in Duluth. In 2002, we moved to The Villages, FL. It is a very active retirement community of 77,000 residents. I play a lot of tennis and golf.

For those fo you who knew my parents---we moved them to Duluth in 1987---my father passed away in 1993, at the age of 91; my mother passed away in 1995, at 88 years of age. It was a pleasure having them near us in their final years.

Occupation:Engineer specializing in reconstruction of accidents Website:accidentanalysisgroup..com Marital Status:Married No. of Children:2

From david: The years have flown by so quickly. My wife Elaine and I put off aging by having our children late, but there's no getting around it when y'all remind me that my 50th is around the corner. By and large, though, we are blessed and we know it. I am reminded of Ringo Starr's words a few weeks ago when he passed 70 -- most of the time, in his mind, at least, he felt like the 28 year old he once was. During the next week or so, I will try to dig up a few of our classmates including Lenny Buckle, Sophie Mastros, Jim Niederhuber, Butch Levite, Bill Cox , Al Lubrin, Gary Rogers , Ronnie Morgan, Bill Weisberger Gary Peterson and Dixie Dudukovich. Can they have aged as well?

Oh, Carolyn, Sara and Pat -- how are you? Stay tuned.

Occupation:Retired Marital Status:Married No. of Children:2

From Jacquelyn (Jackie):What have I been doing? Since we retired in the 1990s my husband and I: crossed the Arctic Circle and "walked on" the Arctic Ocean at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska; rode camels in Australia; crossed Europe from Austria to the Netherlands by river ship; saw the Crown Jewels in London. With these adventures there were adventures in eating. We tasted emu, camel, kangaroo, and crocodile in Alice Springs, Australia; Weiner Schnitzel in Vienna, Austria; and haggis, neeps, and tatties in Inverness, Scotland. When we're not traveling or visiting grandchildren, I volunteer in my community (rocked babies at a day care facility and am now volunteering at the Ohio Genealogical Society library).
