At the age of almost 50, I married a wonderful, widowed woman from Collinsville (a Kahok!).  This was and still is my first and only marriage.  I have two delightful grandchildren with whom my wife and I are thankful to have the opportunity to spend hours of quality time since we are both retired.  I retired from Sigma-Aldrich Corporation in January, 2010 after 38 years of service as a chemist.  My wife is a retired RN.  Retired life has been a joy!  For anyone contemplating retirement or actually retired, I recommend the book titled "How to Retire Happy, Wild and Free".  It does not focus on the financial aspects of retirement but rather on the social, psychological and emotional aspects of retirement that are often not considered.

Thanks for this site! 

It was great to see the various sections and learn about some of our former teachers and classmates.  The classes of 1971 are planning our 40th anniversary reunion Labor Day weekend.  Please forward my e-mail to class members or send theirs to me.  We get together every five years except the first reunion was our 10th anniversary.  We have a great time and are always looking for class mates. 

Please pass on the word.

Grew up in Washington Part. Attended Manners school, then Lansdown. Just squeaked by at East Side.... I saw more of Mr. Ducksworth and Downing than my subject teachers. I often think back and If I could do things over again I would be a lot better student. I'm happy with the way my life has gone and now I'm triple retired and loving it. I'm Looking for Tim Parks he went to East Side also and should have been class of 67. Last I knew of him in about 1971 he had just gotten out of the Marines and was living in  a small Illinois town that Started with "New" If anyone knows of him please contact me. "Flyer forever"

Hi to all the Flyers!!!!.  Boy did we ever have it easy at school.  I thought it was so tough, but life is much harder.  Lots of fond memories.  Seems like yesterday, but many years have past.  I miss those days because of those individuals that have crossed my live.  Bless each and everyone one of you for you have blessed my life with the memory.

I have spent many years doing many things, but I still think back on those days in High School, when things were much simpler. 

Take care.

Kathy here - probably again -- want to touch all sites where YOU might be reading stuff!  Just reminding all of you that class reunion roundup never ends!  If you are wanting to be contacted about any class projects going on, please let me know where you are!  Name, address, phone, email, class, anything that will help me identify you and place you on our email / mailing lists!  If you keep me updated as you change information, it is SOOOOOOOOO much easier than finding out you are lost at reunion time!!!  HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU!!
