My wife Cindy and I now live in Portland after having lived east of the Cascades (La Grande, Idaho, Colorado and Utah) for 35+ years. We have three children and four grandchildren—all whom give us new meaning these days. Wandering a while (Ok-like 4-5 years) through college classes, I settled on a career in Archaeology. Archaeology work took us to small towns and cities in Idaho, eastern Oregon, Utah and Colorado. I consider myself very fortunate to have worked in my chosen field all these years and am exceptionally grateful to my family for their love and support through several moves. I retired in 2015 after serving a fifteen-year stint as the Bureau of Land Management’s lead archaeologist for the states of Idaho, Washington and Oregon. My Geographer wife and I continue to ski, canoe, snorkel, hike, travel, camp, garden and taking advantage of the many things that Portland and NW life offer. |

Married Suzy Holman (LOHS '71) in 1976, moved to NYC for biz school and then to the Bay Area where we raised our 4 boys. One married with a grandson, one engaged, and the 2 youngest still trying to find a match. I worked in finance, brokerage and money mgmt till a few years ago when I met an Indian programmer and we have been working on getting a couple of software start ups to start up. I'm going to try and make the reunion but kind of doubtful as we have are doing a "double move" in mid August. We have been trying to retire to Santa Fe NM for a few years, but hard to do it when you are enjoying working, so we decided to buy a house in Santa Fe and are moving to an apartment in San Francisco at the same time, thinking we go back & forth till we decide it's time to quit! If you are going to be in either place drop me a note and we can get a coffee or a cocktail! All the best, I have great memories of my time at LOHS and get to Lake Oswego occaisionally to see my Mom who is still doing well at 94 yrs old!

1970-71 - Duck U- 1971-73 - UC Berkeley 1973-74 - Goettingen, Germany (study abroad thing) March 75- Graduate from Cal in Physical Sciences (Mostly chemistry, physics, and math - and German) April 75- no companies know what to do with a Phys Sci major 1975-76 - Chemical Engineering courses (mostly) at Cal 1976-March 78 - MS in Chem Eng from UW Thesis was numerical analysis of particle deposition in the lung. Yes, smoking is bad for you. 1978 - 1981 - Chevron Research in Richmond, CA (not a great choice) 1981- 1986 - PhD in Chem Eng. at Cal "The Kinetics of Structure Development in Liquid Crystal Polymers" November 1982 - Cal beats Stanford with The Play, and yes - I was there. OK, twelve years in school seems like enough. 1986 - 1990 - Bell Labs manufacturing research in Princeton, NJ. I developed conductive composites. It was fun hanging out with the Murray Hill folks who were working on high-temperature superconductors (remember those? Current density was too low.) and cold fusion (They wanted to fire a palladium bullet saturated with deuterium into a steel plate. Nixed by safety.) April 1990 - It SNOWS. Really? In April? June 1990 - Bell Labs for optical fiber manufacturing in Atlanta 1992 - married to Sherry O'Daniell 1994 - Erin is born November 2005 to now - Corning optical fiber development, Wilmington NC. 15-ish patents I'm planning to retire in May '22. Wilmington is pretty nice - college town of about 100,000. Beach is 5 miles away. Also has some unfortunate history - look up the 1898 coup if you haven't heard of it. On the downside, it's flat, and HUMID in the summer. Oh, and hurricanes: the season starts June 1st and lasts 5 months. We had to evacuate to Georgia in 2018; Florence ran right over our house. Not much damage, fortunately. I sure hope the reunion is on; I haven't been to one since 2000, and I'd love to catch up with OLD friends. And it sure would be great if some REAL holdouts would show up (*cough* Malcolm Brown *cough* Scott Cohen *cough*). Fifty-one years is long enough, don't you think, guys? |

Cheri and I bought a 1946 cottage in old LO in 2010 and we have been remodeling it every since. We love living in downtown LO, walking distance to everything we need. Full circle for me, after spending most of my youth at Newton's Ice Cream store on B Avenue.I'm really enjoying my retirement spending time golfing and fishing and still working part-time as a consultant/broker for a grocery industry health insurance Trust. Cheri retired from being a teacher of the deaf and is enjoying being a grandmother, golfing, reading, and keeping track of our dog Charlie. We enjoy travel and golfing together. Our kids Kyle (37) and Cori (34) have both married and live in Oregon which we love. Kyle and his wife Allison have two kids and live in LO - keeping the family tradition alive. Their kids will be at Rivergrove Elementary this fall. Cori and her husband Hank live in Eugene and have one 2 year old and a 1 year old. We love being grandparents and all that goes along with it. |

Well this ol' boy has gained too many pounds in the last 10 years, but how else do you get that grandfatherly look? So I guess the assignment is to tell everyone what I did last summer......Just got back from a vacation to the Philippines. Sailed down the coast from Seattle to Santa Cruz, CA in my boat Ciao. Found out I did not like long distance sailing as much as I thought I would. Had the boat trucked back to her home port of Tacoma. . Career: Worked for compainies in the transportation and logistic field in operations to include: T-Mobile, Zulily.com; Amazon.com; Airborne Express and HP Corvallis Division . Schooling: OSU....Go Beavs . Happily married with a blended family of 5 kids and 9 grandchildren. And yes I can still name all 9 grandchildren. . Hobbies: Sailing, reading and traveling. In the last 20 years we have been lucky enough to travel to over 25 countries around the world. The most interesting of which was hiking the Camino de Santiago in the Northern Part of Spain where I met folks from around the world. . Enjoy the time together this summer at the country club where I use to caddy with Mark Stevens on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Best part was caddy day every week where we got to play on the course. Reminds me of Caddyshake. . I have a good life and wish only the best for everyone else. . E . |

Hello Classmates-I can't believe it has been 50+ years since graduating from LOHS. Many of us have known each other since kindergarten. WOW! I have been blessed with a wonderful family. My husband and I live in LO in my childhood home on Glen Eagles Rd. We have a son and two daughters. We have two beautiful granddaughters who keep us laughing and loving them to pieces. My mom is 101 and lives close by at the Springs. After I graduated from Oregon State, I had a long career as a financial analyst. I retired from IBM in 2018. I love retirement life. We are busy all the time with family, friends, travel and lots of gardening. Sending you best wishes for much happiness and good health. Cheers to all! A special thank you to the reunion committee for trying so hard to get us all together during these crazy times. |

Like most of you, I'm fully retired and doing things I never seemed to have time for . . . or even thought of. My wife, Patricia and I are active in Community Theaters, giving a hand to the local Historic Society, travel and making plans for even 'bigger' trips, Skiing (before the snow is all gone), and working around our 'acerage' with a creek running through it, an hour out of New York City. I'm not sure where we'll end up in our 'later' years, but this region has so much to offer and experience now and in the near future. I fear Corona will give this reunion more than just a little headache. I trust everyone who can will show up and exchange life's great experiences, large and small.

1970-74 – attended University of Oregon, running track and cross country. Go Ducks!1975-80 – taught math and computer classes and coached track and XC at Canby High School. Go Cougars! 1980-95 – taught and coached at Sunset High School in Beaverton. Go Apollos! My girls won 3 state XC championships, and we had the top ranked program in the state for the 15 years. Had a personal running streak of not missing a single day for 11 years and 3 months, broken only by an emergency appendectomy. Missed 5 days, then did another full 5-year streak, broken only by our trekking in Nepal making days tiring enough! 1986 – married Patty, the love of my life. (We recently celebrated our 35th anniversary!) 1995-2010 – we lived in Vienna, Austria, teaching and coaching at the American International School. Go Knights! Fabulous experience – we served the diplomatic and business communities, and had around 65 countries represented in or student body. We also traveled like crazy people – we have explored 74 countries and counting. Look forward to seeing central and south America and the Caribbean now that we are closer. 2010 – retired and moved to our new home in Trout Lake, WA. Lots of hiking and veggie gardening. 2017-present – built a house and moved to Eagle Crest in central Oregon. Love the weather and all the outdoor activities. Took up pickleball – it’s a blast! Won bronze and gold medals with my partner in my first two tournaments. I’m still running a few days a week. (And yes, I can still kick Toby’s butt - need you even ask?) |

I've been a public school music teacher for over 38 years. I am retired. I most recently taught in St. Helens, OR. I also taught in Banks, Reedville (Hillsboro) and Winston, OR. Most recently, because one of my sons lives in Texas, we spend about 5 months of the year there, near Dallas. I've found that I love Texas, and the almost every day sun!I have 4 sons, and 10 grandchildren, and have been married 44years. I played and coached basketball for many years. I made my own music CD. I'm currently trying to learn the game of golf, and successfully getting better. The most profound thing to happen to me occurred just after high school when I came into a relationship with Christ. Because of that, I have had a life full of blessing on many levels. No complaints here! |

Hey gang, can't wait to see you all at the 50! For the past 43 years, I have been practicing law with the same, Miller Nash, where I have met and worked with some incredible people. I look forward to continuing that for about 3 more years then jump into the world of part time which will allow me to spend more time with family, traveling, playing golf, making music, and continuing my work as a mediator, which, surprisingly, is quite exciting!I'm married to a wonderful woman, Betsy Stark Miller, who runs a non-profit agency for abused and neglected foster children caught up in the court system. Between us we have five adult children, three of mine, two of hers, and (so far) three beautiful and entertaining grandchildren - Frankie (3), Murphy (10 mos), and Emma (10 mos.) - coincidental cousins, not twins. |

My "career path" jogged from forest products exporting to elementary school teaching. Now I'm tasting the fruit of discretionary time: lots of jazz piano, cycling, yoga, backpacking, gardening, cooking, and enjoying the company of family and friends. These reunions every five years continue to amaze me with everyone's vitality and unique life stories.
