Hello there,

Blaine and I were married right out of high school. Although we only made it to the ten-year mark we had three wonderful kids out of that union.

I have remained in the area of Lake Stevens and I am still in my first home some 35 years later (my starter home that's now my castle). I raised all my kids here where they attended LS schools.

I went back to college at 37 when my kids were almost grown and attended Everett Community College for 3-1/2 years until my husband asked me if I was "ever" going to get a job or just become a professional student (I loved college). I had another baby at 41 (what was I thinking...) and totally enjoyed motherhood again until she hit 12 (the new 16) and it has been a bit "challenging." She is now 18 and has moved into one of our rental units so we can keep a close eye on her, although she is slowly spending more time back home, spending the night often.

I had worked for Cascade Valley Hospital & Clinics in Arlington for 16 years and had worked from my home the last 11 or 12 years. January 2012 the hospital outsourced our entire department and I have been unemployed for the past year and have been enjoying my time off.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis about 16 years ago and although the diagnosis was frightening I have been very lucky to have such good health. At 48 I got on a coed softball team (Kasch Park) with some younger EHS grads and we had a blast playing for about five years. We played in tournaments in Manson/Chelan every summer and although we never did that well, we all have some great memories.

I stay in contact with some of our classmates including Cathy Sandum, Cindi Million, Rene Lund, Sharon Hemeke & Mike Roth and a few more. We all got together a few years back for a weekend in Plain, WA, to visit with Bob and Cindi Myres. What a great time! Lots of fun and great food (Bob is quite the cook)!

I have three great kids, all of which are grown and gone (with Blaine), and one who graduated June 2012--She recently moved into her own apartment and is working for Farmer's Insurance where she has worked for a year this month and is attending EvCC. I have one darling granddaughter, Gwenny (BJ & Betsy) who is 5. My husband, Scott, and I have been together 29 years. He has been an awesome stepdad and wonderful father to our daughter, Taylor. I wonder where he got his patience...My mother, Mickey, is 85 and still going strong. All of us kids do something special with her fairly often and she loves going to the casino as often as possible. She has been a wonderful mom! My father passed away approximately 3 years ago and soon after my sister, Gail Clark, passed away suddenly.

We spend lots of time in Manson, WA, during the warmer months, late spring through fall, where we have spent most weekends and vacations for almost 16 years. We hope to build some day before we are too old to get over there but if that never happens--that's okay too. We have the perfect spot; we love it there. We spend a lot of time on the water boating, swimming, floating, and visiting with friends--Oh, and I forgot, winetasting as we have great wineries in the Chelan Valley, as well as visiting Buddy's Place in Manson for the best burgers ever. It is like stepping into another world.

I worked on the committee for our 40-year reunion and it was a pleasure working with everyone. I headed up the Friday night "Mixer" for our reunion and it was held at the "Flying Pig" on Colby Avenue in Everett. The restaurant has since closed.

I am looking forward to our 45th! See you then.

Chris
