Occupation: Cert. Ophth. Tech @ Willcockson Eye Assoc. Yankton, SD

Comments: After 20+ years in the Rapid City area I assumed another name and moved to rural America, as the attached photo attests to.

All kidding aside I can't believe it's been 30 years classmates. So many memories and water under the bridge....Thank Goodness. I've been truly blessed! I have 2 wonderful children. Amy who is married and still lives in Rapid City. She enjoys being an entrepeneur & stay at home mother of my EXTREMELY wonderful grandson Jordan. My son Mike is starting his 4th yr. post high school education. 2 yrs. @ SDSU for Construction Mngmt. (before deciding English & Calculus are a waste of time) Now starting his 2nd yr. @ Lake Area Tech for auto mechanics. Which is his passion & hobby anyway.

I remarried a wonderful man in 2005! Brian is a jack-of-all-trades and Einstein wrapped all in one. He farms, owns a towing operation, as well as a few other sidelines. I never knew life could be so good! I'm still in the eye business since 1983. I began with Pearl Vision in Mitchell, after my Hardees stint, & have moved upward and not looked back. Gratefully I've never been unemployed!! and have all I need. BLESSINGS TO ALL!!

Comments: I married Dave Morgan right out of high school and we had three children together. Jeanie is 29 years old, Jon is 25 and Daniel is 21. I have three grandchildren, Spencer is 11, Bella is 7 and Brooklyn is 2. Dave and I divorced in 1991 and I stayed single until I met the new man in my life. I got married in December of 2007 to Dave Punt and I am very happy.

I have worked for the City of Mitchell as the street and sanitation secretary for almost 11 years now. I love my job and love living in Mitchell. The memories that I have of the last 30 years are of great friends and great times. I have loved reconnecting and finding lost friends through this whole process of Facebook and being on the reunion committee. I hope to stay in touch with everyone for many many more years.

Comments: My husband (Gale Wiedow) and I just celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary. In 2003, we left our long time positions at the University of South Dakota, where I was an associate professor, and headed for downtown Indianapolis. While my husband directed a federally funded program for economically disadvantaged children, I did full time consulting work. Due to federal cutbacks in 2007, Gale returned to South Dakota and I remained in Indianapolis to sell our home. After three years and no buyers, we continue to commute between Indy and South Dakota. I still do consulting work part time and recently started volunteering with a non-profit organization that specializes in fair trade products. My two stepchildren are grown and we have five grandchildren between the ages of 8 and 14.
