Hello~
Unfortunately I will be unable to make it to the big reunion, but have enjoyed reading about everyone.  I now live in Jacksonville, Florida, where I have resided for much of the last 18 years since getting married and leaving MN. I am married to Brian (East c/o '89), and we have three children. Alissa (17), Jacob (11), and Justin (10). Life has been good to us.

Comment: I was married to my high school sweetheart (Gene Zimmerman) for 18 years. I married Jim, the love of my life, in 2011. I have four sons - Ted (20), Ben (14), Sam, (11), and an angel (Matthew, who would be 3 but left this earth much too soon).

I earned my Ph.D. in Psychology from University of Wyoming. We settled in Blair, Nebraska. I am currently an Associate Professor and Program Director of the M.S. in Clinical Counseling program at Bellevue University (Bellevue, NE).

Comment: Hey all,
I had a great time at the last reunion.  Since then I have been to Iraq twice for Operation Iraqi Freedom.  I have been in the Army here in Germany now since 1999.  I figure if the Army is going to pay to send me here, I might as well see as much of Europe as I can.  I even met my wife here.  We have a 4 year old son together as well.  Hope to see you this summer if Duty doesn't call first.

After graduating UMD with a BS in geology, I moved to Tokyo for 3 years. I once again went to UMD for a BAS in Teaching Chemistry. I taught in a rural area for 8 years, and now am very happy to be back in the Duluth area, teaching in Cloquet. I have a wonderful 5 year old who will start kindergarten in the fall. Life is good! Looking forward to seeing you all!

Comment: Greetings!  It's been great reading all your life-stories.  As for me, I reside in Eden Prairie with my (wonderful!) husband, Bruce -- we just had our 11 year anniversary this past May.  No children other than that of the canine-variety named 'Oliver'.  I spend my workdays at a photography and yearbook company and enjoy good health and good life.  Unfortunately, we won't be able to make it up to Duluth for this one; but I'll be thinking about our class and reminiscing about what seems like a couple of lifetimes ago!  Take care!

Wow!!!  It's been twenty years!  Just remember- it does not matter how old you are but rather how you feel!  Be gentle on yourself and live well!

I hope to see many of you this summer!
Big Hugs!
