Family history (spouse, children, dogs, etc.):
 
I married Richard Buchmann in 1971.  We’ve been married for 42 adventurous years and have lived in Orlando, Florida; Jamestown, North Dakota; Denver, Colorado; and Bethel, Alaska.  I’ve had wonderful pets, wonderful friends, and enjoyed excellent health.

 

Current hobbies and interests:
 
Photography, swimming, pets, sewing, quilting, collecting antique dolls and selling hundreds of collectibles on ebay.


Current life situation (retired working, volunteering, etc.):
 
Retired.  I now spend six months in Evergreen, Colorado, (in the foothills west of Denver) and six months in Sarasota, Florida, where Betty and I have a house we inherited from our parents.  Sitting on my deck in the Colorado mountains and walking on Siesta Key Beach, in Sarasota, Florida, it’s hard not to believe I’m one of the luckiest people in the world.

 

Anything else you want to share:
 
Kudos to the reunion committee for the fabulous job you’ve done setting everything up for the 50th reunion.
 
Here’s to remembering all the kind and special parents that are no longer with us.
 
Time has proven our class was indeed full of the best and brightest.  It was a privilege going to school with all of you so many years ago.
