| 1/18/06 | Robert Suer writes: "I am practicing medicine in Muncie. I now have 6 children: 3 in college, one still in high school, and 2 little boys from Guatemala. We are in the process of adopting a little girl from China in the spring of '06 so that will make 7 (I think). Would like to hear from you. |
| 1/17/06 | Julie Dunbar Kaufman-Prentice writes: "Sorry I missed the reunion, hope everyone who was able to attend had a great time. My husband and I moved to Phoenix in 1994, a return for me and new move for him. I am a Grandma, finally! My daughter and son-in-law presented us with a grandson this past July. The only drawback, they live in Poland. Poland is a great place to visit and not just because Theo lives there. My son lives in Denver, fortunately business takes me there monthly so I am able to see him frequently. Still working for "the phone company", love my job. My husband, George, retired four years ago. Will see what I end up doing, the Theo tug is pretty strong! Best to all of you. |

| 9/15/05 | Pete Fagan says: "I am looking forward to the reunion in October, 2005. This will be my first reunion and am anxious to meet up with classmates from the past. I have been living in Coronado, CA (San Diego area) for the last 12 years, practicing law. It would be nice if there is enough turn-out from the class to have a separate get-together from the all-school reunion." |
| 5/23/05 | Darla Gobert Pitman writes: "I live in Bloomington with my husband Roger and my two cats. I have 3 grown children and have held a variety of jobs through the years. I am now a consultant with Mary Kay Cosmetics, and think I may have finally gotten the whole "career" thing. I am so glad Elizabeth told me about this site, and I am looking forward to seeing some of you in October. Feel free to email me if you want." |
| 4/28/05 | Dennis Waltke writes: "It is neat to see the names of our class. It brings back many memories. I live up the road in Greenwood, and live four houses from Vince Chiapetta's little brother, Mike who I played with on the tennis team those many years ago. I have been married 30 years to my wife. Debbie is from New York, and we have two children, Rachael, age 25, who is a Grade School Teacher in Indianapolis, and a son, Aaron, 20, who is a Junior at IU, majoring in Film Studies. I have been a Dentist since 1976, and attribute my science interest to UHS. Hope I can attend in October!" |

I own a awesome business in Bloomington, Elizabeth Tieman & Hairdesigners. I have been married to the same great guy for 26 years, and we have two exceptional kids... Life has been Good.

| 2/23/05 | Lee McKinley writes in his registration: "hello- I am living in bloomington and would be happy to help with local arrangements for the fall all class reunion. Let me know if I can help. Lee". I would suggest that if members of the class of '69 want to think about a mini-reunion luncheon or brunch or evening gathering at the time of the all school reunion that you start by contacting Lee to make class plans. Keep me informed and I'll post information here, also. Thanks, Lee. Margaret Olson '52 |
