Please share what you have been doing for the last 5 years?: Since retiring from the Postal Service in May 2011, I now enjoy doing my own thing. Trying to promote myself as an artist is challenging. The photography is fun. The promo part I don't worry about too much because I don't depend on the income.

Wow 40 years!! It's hard to beleive, but here we are again. Not much has changed in my bio except for two awesome things. My oldest son, Ryan and his wife Missy have blessed me with two, count em, TWO beautiful grandbabies, Caitlynn 4, and Hailey 1. I finally got my girls. They live in Topeka. My 2nd, Jay and his wife Tiona live in Wichita. Barrett lives and works here in Manhattan. He and his girlfriend Lindsay are "pretty steady". My youngest son Dustin is in KC with his fiance' Sara. They will wed in Manhattan in June. I still hold down the old family business with the same name, "Al Langton Insurance". Sorry I missed the last reunion, but will see you all in Manhattan in October! Gregg

Spouse or Partner's Name: Albert Thompson
Please share what you have been doing for the last 5 years?: Right now I am a student of Psychology--doing all of my classes online and am in my Sophomore year.

I work part time at Midland Hospice as a Home Health Aid.

My husband will retire in a couple of years from the Dept. of Corrections and I'll be ready to start my new counseling career, lolol!

School fills up a lot of my time but not so much that I cannot visit or have over my daughter Rosie(27 yrs.) and Grand daughter Lolita(10 yrs.). Five years ago they chose to move from Manhattan to Topeka where we can see a lot more of each other.

My son Michael(almost 40 yrs), wife Melissa and my Grandson, Tristan(almost 3 yrs.)are living on the outskirts of Houston, Texas in a town called Kingwood. They were in Scotland for 2 years for Mike's work and I inherited their two Min Pins to go with my German Shepherd, Mojo, and Scrappy cat. We have a regular zoo around here but I love it!

We are blessed to have a houseboat, sailboat, pontoon boat, and a jet boat out at Lake Perry which means a great get-away and a lot of fun-in-the-sun in the Summertime!

My hobbies are reading, knitting, walking the dogs, surfing the knit(need rehab for computer games, lolol)swimming and bicycling.

I so look forward to seeing you all at our 40th reunion coming up quick! We'll miss Bobby T's but will be there in Manhattan, Saturday, for the bus ride and evening Reunion.

If you're like me, you still feel 25 in your heart. See ya soon! Candee

Please share what you have been doing for the last 5 years?: This has become a big year of celebrations for me: 20th anniversary with my employer; 30th wedding anniversary (spending a week in Italy); and 40th high school reunion. Apart from my regular job, this past decade I advised US Treasury on tax legislation, helped restructure IRS audit procedures, and assisted in the revision of various tax regulations. I spend my leisure time writing music and short stories, and I am working on the music and story book for a musical.

Please share what you have been doing for the last 5 years?: The last ten years Christy and I have been getting two sons through college and one married. We now have one Granddaughter and a Grandson on the way in April 09. I have been with Northwest Airlines for 25 years and last year we were bought by Delta.
