From Liz:After graduating from the U of M in Animal Science, I moved to Ely in 1977 to work on the first EIS for copper nickel mining. I stayed on when the project ended and have been enjoying life in the northwoods and boundary waters since then. My husband, Steve, and I built our own business, Log Cabin Hideaways, in 1989. We continue to run it, altho we are scaling back with an eye to retiring. Our daughter, Zoe, is a junior at UMD, and our son, Joe, lives in Marquette, MI with his wife and our two granddaughters. In my spare time, I have a big garden, watercolor paint, walk, ski and travel. Our border collie, Stella, accompanies us wherever we go.

If any of you ever get to Ely for a canoe trip or vacation, look us up. I visit SLP a few times a year, but can only stand the city traffic for a few days before it makes me nuts!

From Paul:Just an update from last time (see below):

Sue and I have now been married 40 years--she says she still likes me. Lauren is now married to Brent, a nice young man, and they just had our first grandchild 9 months ago--Felix. Emily and her husband, Robby, just moved home from Austin, Tx and are having our second grandkid soon. We are enjoying being grandparents, nannying once a week, lots of voluntary babysitting, etc. I am semi-retired--working about half-time. All is well.

I always meant to put a little more info in here, so here goes:
I have been married to Sue for 33 years now, she is wonderful and I am a very lucky guy. We have two daughters. Lauren just turned 29, she graduated from Madison and has become a cameraperson, working on reality TV shows like Real World, and also has traveled all over the world working on short promo films, in China, Europe, etc. Emily will be 25 soon, and lives in Chicago where she is an Art Director and Graphic Designer for a design firm, working on packaging for companies you would know. I was a prosecutor for about 12 years in Hennepin County, and have been a criminal defense attorney for about 16 years now. I am in private practice, and also am a part-time Public Defender in Hennepin County and also on the Federal Panel, meaning I do federal cases as a quasi-public defender. Sue and I are now empty nesters in our home in Golden Valley. I am afraid I did not make it more than a few miles from my folk's house. Kind of dull, but it has been quite nice. Hope to see everyone at the reunion.

From Paula:I spent 25 years in radio broadcasting in the Twin Cities (mostly at MPR), then moved to Florida in 1998. I reconnected with Mark Broms in 2002 and we are still in Florida. Right now I'm back in school to finish up my degree that I started back in 1970!

From Faith:I am really looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion! I graduated from the University of Minnesota in Fashion Merchandising in 1974. Since 1982, I have been the owner and director of Premiere School of Self-Improvement and Professional Modeling, St. Louis Park which I created to help others gain confidence and to establish modeling careers. In 1985, I was selected as Mrs. Minnesota. My husband and I have directed the Mrs. Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Georgia Pageants since 1990. In addition, I am the primary pageant trainer in the Midwest for competitions such as Miss USA and Miss America and have coached hundreds of winners including those in 15 states and 5 countries. In 2018, I was honored to receive the Best Pageant Coach Award (selected worldwide) at the very first Global Beauty Awards (the Academy Awards of the pageant industry), held in Seattle, WA. In 2019, I was named one of the Top 10 Best Coaches worldwide by the Pageant Planet. Additionally, I am the Industry Expert for Pageantry Magazine, and write my own column providing tips and advice for contestants. In 2017, Marcia Brucciani and I made a major attempt to revitalize the Parkettes with existing students at SLP High School. After giving it a full year, we realized that times have changed and unfortunately, the support of students and the administration was lacking. However, we are still proud of all that we accomplished as a team! My husband, Carl is a St. Paul attorney. We have 2 grown sons, Scott and Brian and a wonderful daughter-in-law, Marcy. Additionally, we are loving every minute of being grandparents to baby granddaughter, Brielle!

From Don:So, how did that Cute Little Fella on the left (a first-grader at Fern Hill) turn into that Graying Old Fart on the right (a 39-year California resident, the last 30 in Alameda)? In any case, I was unable to attend the last reunion and am really looking forward to catching up and swapping stories, and hope some of you feel the same way. P.S. a free drink to the first person who can identify the individuals in the pictures behind my 'now' photo. Free dinner if you know the source of the pictures.
