From Tamara:We are grateful for the many blessings in our lives. After High School, I graduated from BYU with a degree in Special Education/Elementary Education. (Taught one year at the American Fork Training School--up until the day our first was born.) It was a privilege to serve an 18 month mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Richard and I have 8 precious children--a teacher, computer security guru, a financial planner, two doctors, two nurses, and a daughter on the other side (died in an accident at age 2).

We love to travel, do family history, have adventures with the 13 grandchildren, garden, have a freeze dryer and are having a blast here in WA where we grow 95 crops in our county. We belong to the gleaners and are able to get lots of excess food this way. Last fall we pressed 125 gallons of fresh apple cider. Guess what all the neighbors got for Christmas?

We are in the process of selling our home here in Moses Lake, WA--100 miles to the west of Spokane--and are purchasing a home in Cedar City, Utah to be nearer to our children and grandchildren.

We have recently served as Pathway Service Missionaries in our church, worked in the Columbia River Temple for 3 years, and received our mission call this week. In September we enter the Mission Training Center in Provo, Utah and will serve for 18 months inl the Salt Lake City Headquarters Mission serving as Family and Church History missionaries. Family history has always been one of my great loves and I have helped others trace their roots and volunteered in our local libraries for over 20 years.

Life does not always turn out how we think it will, but we learn from many opportunities and make the best of life. We are sad that we will not be able to join you for the reunion. THANKS to all the committee for their diligence in reaching out to all of us. This morning it was a JOY to read through your profiles. Idaho Falls will always be home. . . . . . .

From Kay:69 WAS A GREAT YEAR!! Especially since we only had to be in class 1/3 of the time and supposedly studying 2/3 of the time. After graduation I served a Mission to California East or East LA. Attended BYU and married my lovely wife Tammy Hull who graduated in 69 from Shelley HS. We talked about all the school activities we were both at since she was in their dance team and I was in the pep band and played for the Teddy Bears. She remembers debating Senator Crapo and beating him in HS. We graduated from BYU and moved to Boise with our 3 kids soon to be 4. We have loved Boise and have been very blessed with 4 children and 13 grandkids. Tammy and I have been Temple Workers in the Boise and now Meridian Temple for 19 years and continue to enjoy serving there. We enjoy spending time with our grandkids and their parents. We started a tradition of taking our grandkids to Disneyland when they turn 5. We now have been there 21 times. Be careful what you start. It's been fun to see what you all have done and are doing. Still like those red convertibles.

From Ralph :Wow ... I think 50 years of life went by faster than 4 years of high school, but I am so looking forward to seeing people who were such an enjoyable part of those formative four years. I hope EVERYONE comes!

After High School I attended BYU for a semester, served two years as a missionary in Finland, and married Connie Plant in 1972. We attended Ricks for a year and then earned three degrees from the University of Idaho, first a BS in Chemistry and finally a PhD as a Fulbright Scholar completing my research at the University of Joensuu in Eastern Finland. I have worked as a product development chemist, managed a food processing plant, owned a cosmetic manufacturing company for 18 years and finally became an educator (always a dream). During my 17 year public school career I taught high school chemistry and math and served as a high school principal. The past 17 years I have worked in various positions at BYU-Idaho most recently as Associate Academic Vice President. I currently teach math part time to just get out of the house.

Connie and I have four children and 16 grandchidren who we love and they actually like one another too! Connie was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2004 and has been bedridden for 10 years. I care for her at home and I'm pretty good at it until about 10 o'clock :), then I need to get out of the house for awhile. I am a private pilot and stay busy teaching a little, restoring my collection of old cars and I always have home improvement projects at home and at our place in Island Park.

From David:Hi Everyone: After graduating from Skyline High, I attended Ricks College. I then went to work for Chevrolet Motor Division and lived in Rochester Michigan. (Detroit) I married Marilyn Ritchie from Salt Lake City and we have two wonderful daughters. We’ve been married for 42 years. We left Michigan and a career with Chevrolet so our kids could be closer to family in Salt Lake. I started Messmer's Natural Wood Finishes in 1989, and after 25 years, our products were in nearly 3000 retail paint and lumber locations across the US and Canada. In 2012, Marilyn and I decided it was time for an early retirement, some relaxation, and I sold Messmer’s Inc. However, three days prior to signing the final documents I was called as an LDS Bishop in our South Jordan Utah ward. So much for relaxing. Marilyn and I now spend our time going to grandkids functions, playing golf, and going back and forth to our home in St George in the winter time. While Utah is our home, I still proudly wear my Idaho tee-shirt and visit often.
