Comment:
In 1973, moved to Los Angeles after graduating college in New York; have been a prosecutor in the LA District Attorney's Office for 32 years. It's a dream job because I get paid to talk...and don't get detention or made to stand ON desks for talking too much [French class]. Jessica [20] is a junior at UW, Madison and Phillip [23] has grad school ahead. We visited Minneapolis three to four times a year. Phillip learned he dislikes snow, like mom; Jessica learned she enjoys snow, like her skier dad. After the State Fair, Phillip would beg for his own calf. Jessica never had enough rides at MOA, forgetting she goes to Knotts Berry Farm and Disneyland once or twice a year. We are passionate LAKERS fans and I am proud to tell people [who don't know] they were originally the Minnesota Lakers. We have three rescue dogs. Our two bichon/poodle/maltese mixes have "design defects" because after ten years, neither one consistently uses the outdoors when the "urge" strikes. Our 55 pound husky was so abused that our nine pound, 12 year old dog bosses him around. I am surprised at the many Park grads that live in LA and other California cities. Since many of us can't make the reunion, let's have one in LA! Have a great time squinting at name tags, wondering who these gray haired people are, and trying to remember how to get to St. Louis Park High School. To show my gratitude to the Committee Members, I'll give each of you a free crime; it could be a traffic ticket or murder or anything in between. You choose. |

Comment:
Since leaving high school, I've been pretty much a Wandering Jew. I've lived in many countries and worked as a sign language interpreter, drama director, and a teacher. I've been living in Suzhou, China for the past five years, working at an international school. Wish I could attend the upcoming reunion but, unfortunately, I need to report back to my school by August 14. Guess I'll just have to wait until 2020 for the 50th! Be sure to look me up if you're ever in China! Paulo cohenmyers@gmail.com |

| Comment: Rick Ohotto still owes me 20 bucks! He bet I wouldn't...I bet I would....and I did! I am looking forward to seeing the familiar, though somewhat seasoned, faces again. I am struck by just how many of us were in the 70' class and the number I didn't know. Well we're all together now! | |
| It's been 50 years since graduation. What is still on your bucket list?: Perhaps the question should be, "WHO is still on your bucket list?". That answer is for me to know and her to find out! | |

| Comment: After High School I attended the Univ. of Minn for 2 years. (Duluth and Mpls Campus). In the fall of 1972 I decided to move west to enjoy the mountains and my first love, skiing! I lived in Park City Utah briefly and ended up in Vail, CO until 1989. I worked in a few restaurants, taught skiing at Vail and Beaver Creek, and did property mgt. Jeff and I were married in Sept, 1982 in Vail. In 1989 we moved to Rochester NY for 3 years to open up a restaurant with his family. We desperately needed to get back to Colorado. We relocated to Ft. Collins in 1992 and have been here now for 17 years. We are still together after 27 years and have 3 kids. They are Kyle (23) | |
