| Comment: I live north of the Twin Cities on a small lake with abundant wildlife. We built a dome home here 27 years ago. I am happily married to a wonderful guy. We just celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary. We have one daughter, 29, who just moved to Queens, NY. She is a photographer working in e-commerce. She will be married in 2020 to a terrific guy. I just retired from a career in American Sign Language interpreting specializing in healthcare services. Retirement is so relaxing. I just joined the YMCA and enjoy swimming. I am grateful for my fortunate life! | |

| Comment: I moved to Sacramento, California in 1983. Teaching elementary school was my passion for 33 years. I have 2 grown sons. Over the years I've made many trips back to the St. Louis Park area to see family and friends. I'm really looking forward to this next reunion since I've only been back for the 20th reunion. The timing of the reunions always conflicted with school starting in my teaching district. Looking forward to seeing everyone. | |
| What life lesson would you most like to share with others to remember you by?: Be kind to one another. You never know what the other person is going through and a little kindness can change their world. | |
| What unfulfilled activity or service to others do you still hope to accomplish someday?: I would love to volunteer at an animal shelter but I'm afraid I'd try to take them all home with me. | |
| It's been 50 years since graduation. What is still on your bucket list?: Spending quality time with family, friends, and my pets. | |
| If you moved from MSP, what caused you to leave this three seasons of Winter Wonderland and one season of construction?: As a kid my family took summer vacations to California. I always knew I wanted to live there some day, besides I love sunshine and warm weather. | |
| If you could do it all over again, what would you do?: I would be in the moment more and not worry about what's coming next. | |
| What advice would you give a 15-year-old just starting high school now?: Don't take things too seriously and remember to have fun. | |

| Comment: I've gone through a number of career changes -- musician, sales director, supervisor, etc. -- and now have my very favorite job: teaching adults to speak English! Well... I still love music -- playing flute -- and still do this for fun, with friends. | |
