I would love to connect with Ann Crossy, Sherry Church, Anne Hynds, Carol Barlow, and all the others who missed the last reunion. Please try to make it this summer We had such a good time.

Concerning the need for a web site backup, I don't have ALL the skills mentioned in the request but do have some knowledge and a willingness to learn. If you still need someone, let me know.

I Received this today..Can anyone help her.?
 
Hi,
I was browsing Anchorage (I was born there in 1962) and came across your wonderful website! Neither of my parents talk much about their high school days and I'm not sure if either of them actually graduated (awkward to ask). My mom was only 17 when I was born so I think she may have been in the class of 1962. Anyway, I was just wondering if you knew Rosemary (Toni) Martin or Alan Hyden back in the day? Thanks!

Blessings,

Trudy,

 We could have wheel chair and walker races? How about a competition on who is on the most medication?

Maybe we ought to get together in Arizona, it seems a lot of the class has migrated to warmer climates.

What ever is done, you go girl as always, and never forget this class always makes it fun!

Miss all..

Dick,

 Of course we must have a 45th! We're all getting too old not to get
 together at any excuse. I'll see if we can get some people together in the
 next few months to do some planning. Do you (or anyone) have
 suggestions for dates, activities, or anything?

Richard-
Thanks for all your work on the new website.  It looks and sounds great, with lots of information and memories.
 
Here's a name for you from the 1960's.  Remember the comedienne Rusty Warren with her risque material (pretty tame by today's standards).  She had a number of albums in the comedy section of the record stores.  She retired to Hawaii , I met her at a bridge club here, and we have been partners recently and have done pretty well.  She is a very articulate, polite, and intelligent lady.

Hi Dick ~ 
Your website update is wonderful, as usual. Good job!! I wish someone would do that for Class of 64!!  It’s just so much fun to go to 63’s website and reminisce!  We did have the best of times, didn’t we?

Allen and I live in “America” full-time now;  Sequim, WA.  April – September (usually October) and Mesquite, NV. October – March.  We just sold our boat in Sitka…we still own some land there but other than that we’re out of Alaska.  It’s still hard for me to believe.

Allen spent the last 3 winters building an airplane, an RV8, in his hangar in Mesquite and finished it in March.  He flew it up here for the summer and will fly it back south for the winter.  ~  We’re both happy and relatively healthy and sane; what more can we ask for? 

Regards, Leslie (Babinec) Barnett

Thought you might like to add the above information to the class 
directory.  This was the first time that I was able to find some information 
about our Class.   I loved reading the information.
 
 I was one of the kids from Elmendorf.  I started West in my junior 
year when we were on shifts as they finished East.  Also went to What was 
then Alaska Methodist University for a year.  Sally Lauster, Chuck 
Norton, Marty Bushue, Patty Fradenberg, Janice Lammers, were some of the 
people I hung around with.
 
I graduated from the University of Michgian College of Architecture and 
Design and the School of Education in 1968. I was a graphic illustrator 
for 3 years on a federal math project.  Then I taught commercial art 
for 6 years in the Royal Oak, Michigan schools  My master's degree is in 
Reading and Language arts and is from Oakland University in Rochester, 
Michigan (1988).
 
I currently teach at a non-traditional high school in Troy, Michigan.  
This is my 17 year in the Troy District  and I am able to teach in all 
five areas that I am certified for - never a dull day!  I teach 16-19 
year olds who have not been successful before - we call them "high 
maintenance", but I love it.
 
I have been married for 35 years to Russell Danielson.  He had to 
retire for health reasons, but he was a custom kitchen designer for most of 
his career.  We have a son Kirk who is 34 (lives in Michigan) and has 
two daughters - Lauren 6 yrs old and Megan 4 yrs old. Our daughter Erin 
who is 29 (currently lives at Vandenberg AFB in California).  Her 
husband Ryan is soon to be a Major and they have a son Robert who is 8 and a 
daughter Kathleen 4.  We can only see them about once a year - so when 
we do we SPOIL them.
 
I can't believe that I am the grandmother of 4!  I mean we just 
graduated - right?
 
Please post the information.  I would love to hear from anyone that 
remembers me.
 
Sincerely;
"Kelly"  that is what OT Beirne and others called me!
 
Kathleen J. Danielson

Dear Foster & Trudy:

 We were rebuilding our business after a terrible fire and we just couldn't break away. But I had such a wonderful time pouring over the pictures, it was the next best thing to being there. I was so pleased to see Ken Hinchey at the reunion even though he graduated a year ahead of us. I would love to see my two best friends in high school, Sharon Sims and Millie Miller even though they didn't graduate with us. Susan Koslosky looked like she'd stepped out of the yearbook and Ben Crawford was just a bigger better version of himself as was Kerry Kimura. It was so neat to see the pictures of Glenda Irving, Beverly James, Carl & Pam Brady, oh I could go on & on. Please express my gratitude to Dick Trudeau & Carol Wilcox for taking the time to do all this. It was such great fun looking at the pictures. l do wish there had been name tags that you could read on a few folks, because I had trouble figuring out who was who on some. I noticed that the many of the name tags had the graduation pictures on them, which was a marvelous idea. My son is living in Big Lake now, close to his dad, so I will be coming up to Alaska one of these soon days to visit Lance and his fiancée Trish. I'm just so sorry we couldn't have done it during the reunion. We won't miss the next one.
Thanks again,
 Karen Anderson James  

P.S. I'm sending some recent pictures I hope others will do the same.

Great job!
Is there any way I can get a copy of the yearbook?  Mine was destroyed by water damage. Or, can the yearbook be viewed on the web somehow?
