Comment: I am very disappointed I can't come to the reunion. It sounds like so much fun!  My nephew is getting married that weekend.

Is it REALLY  50 years?  Yikes !
Tell us about yourself: I graduated from Augustana and worked as a medical technologist in Sioux Falls and Mpls. Al and I were married and moved to Yankton and Sioux City while he attended USD. When he graduated we moved to Houston, Texas and I retired and loved being home with our 2 children. We lived there 14 years and then moved to Mpls. We lived here happily until 2008 when Al died 10 months after being diagnosed with a brain tumor.I am blessed that my 4 year old granddaughter, her parents and my daughter all live near me.

Tell us about yourself: I treasure the wisdom I have gained over 6+ decades and love to pass it on. My interests and favorites include: saved by Jesus Christ, I stand in total awe of His beautiful creation, love astronomy, nature, mountains, hot springs, music. Totally love my kids - Susan in Arvada CO and Thomas in Norfolk VA. Grandbabies = \"a basketball team and 1 little cheerleader\". And so many beautiful true and loyal friends, still going after decades, fishing, hunting, camping and big campfires. I lived across the highway from Death Valley for 4 years (24/7 hot springs). Climbed 3 mountains in Utah, hiked the narrows of Virgin River in Zion National Park. Always into adventure and letting the little girl in me come out to play. Strong, independent, single and pretty awesome lady, I am. Call me and let\'s go play.

My youngest daughter Sarah passed away 8-12-2011, my ex of 27-year marriage passed 6-12-2012, and my mom on 7-4-2012. I\'m tested tough to take it, a creative and capable writer and storyteller. Favorite saying: \"I never had a bad day.\"

Tell us about yourself: Married Tom Lyons from Chicago who I met in Washington D.C. when I was working in The District Court House after college. Tom was in law school at Georgetown and we married and moved to Boston as Tom had an Army commitment to fulfill for two years. We taveled all over New England for those two years as we had no children yet. Then we moved to the Twin Cities where Tom has been practicing law ever since. I was then expecting our first son when we moved to St. Paul in 1967. He was born in 1968. We had another son in 1970 and when the kids got into school, I was a buyer and part owner of an upscale men and ladies clothing store in the Galleria in Mpls for about 12 years and then I got into Interior Design and have had my own business for 12 years. I am only working very part time at this point. I am an active tennis player 3 teams during the year) and have been since my 30's. Never want to give up the sport if I don't have to.:) We have enjoyed a very active life of biking (bicycles) and tennis and traveling to as many Countries and Caribbean areas as possible. We have three grandchildren who are the love of our life and we are with them as a family so much. We have traveled everywhere with all of them and we are certainly blessed they live in the Twin Cities
