I have had many jobs through out the years since leaving high school. Currently, I am working at Iowa State University

Andy (AHS 1974) works for Sauer DanFoss in Ames. We have been married 26 years, almost 27.

I am very blessed with two amazing children: Emily (25) who lives and works in Des Moines, IA and A.J. (23) who lives and works in Georgia.

My family continues to be the most fulfilling aspect to my life. Emily lives close by and I enjoy spending time with her when our schedules allow it. She works as a Human Resource representative for the Ruan Corporation and is active in community service work in the Des Moines area. She has a wonderful young man in her life, James. A year ago July A.J. married his high school sweetheart, Gracia. She is a precious addition to our family. Shortly after the wedding, A.J. joined the US Army and is stationed in Georgia with Gracia at his side (we are grateful that he is still on U.S. soil). I am so ready for some grand kids to start coming along :) Other than time with family, my husband and I enjoy life with our three dogs, taking care of our home, watching NASCAR races, attending ISU sporting events and in nice weather we enjoy motorcycle rides in the countryside. We live a simple life and it works for us! I want to wish you all good health and happiness. Sorry I was not able to attend this reunion...I think it's the only one I have missed.
