Occupation: Retired Teacher
Spouse or Partner's Name: William (Bill)
Please share what you have been doing for the last 5 years?: We have lived in the St. Louis, Missouri area for the past 40 plus year. We have three daughters and one son. The girls live in the suburban St. Louis area: Manchester, Kirkwood and Webster Groves. All three girls are married and have blessed us with 5 beautiful grandchildren- four boys and one girl. Our oldest grandchildren are 13 year-old twins, one boy and one girl, and our other three grandsons are 7, soon to be 5 and 5 months! Our son and his wife have moved to the San Jose, CA area and we visited them in August before a wonderful cruise to Alaska with Bonnie and Kent Manuel. I enjoy countless hobbies- traveling, gardening, quilting and spending time with the grandchildren.

We are disappointed that we will be unable to attend our 50th Class Reunion but my husband, Bill\'s 50th Class reunion is on the same weekend and he attended my reunion the last time so I\'m returning the favor! If you want more info on what I\'ve been up to, just check with my twin sister, Bonnie, she can fill you in! Can\'t wait to hear about the fun you\'ll all have at the MHS 50th Reunion and we\'ll hope our next reunion won\'t be on the same weekend!

Occupation: Anesthesiologist, Retired
Spouse or Partner's Name: Catherine
Please share what you have been doing for the last 5 years?: I retired from a busy anesthesiology practice in 2013, so on a comparative level I have not been doing much for the last 5 years. I have to admit it has been a major improvement in life style. I have been serving on the Pershing Foundation’s board of Directors. Its purpose is to support the National Society of Pershing Rifles and affiliated organizations. Even though I live in Fargo, ND, I have been an active supporter of the ROTC Department at Kansas State. Since my retirement, I have also become more active in the local American Legion Post and serve on their honor guard for veterans’ funerals and other events.

Moved to Atlanta in 82', and got married to my sweetheart, Kari Harkins 23 years ago.   We have 3 absolutely fabulous kids.....a son, Will who will be graduating college in the spring, a daughter, Alice, who is a sophmore, (also in college), and a 16 year old daughter, Sarah, who is a junior in high school.





I am truly looking forward to seeing everyone's kids pictures and grandkids....(haven't been there yet).   I'll try to remember (that get's harder and harder to do) to bring some of ours.  Promise I'll listen to you brag on yours, if you'll listen to me do the same.

Spouse or Partner's Name: Neil Riley
Please share what you have been doing for the last 5 years?: Hi Everyone--It will be great seeing you all again. Neil and I are still working, but have managed a few trips in the last 5 years--mostly by motorcycle. Two highlights were trips to New Zealand and around the Black Sea. We are recent empty nesters as our youngest is a junior at Baylor this year. Some of you knew my brother Mark. Sadly, on March 15, he passed away quite suddenly and unexpectedly of an aortic aneurysm, leaving a wife and unborn son. His only child, Max, was born one month later. We are all still reeling from this tragedy, but are so blessed to have Max in our lives. Looking forward to the reunion and thanks to the committee for doing such a wonderful job again.
