Living a couple blocks from Macalester the past 16 years with Mac students at our home from time to time (husband John, Class of ’80, is with the Mac Geology Dept), I've been able to keep a pulse on our alma mater. A lot has changed, but there's still plenty of great reminders to bring me back 25 years — so come on out in June to experience the new and old!

I continue to work as an environmental engineer, now with my own business. Working from home helps to keep life a little more manageable with our three daughters: Annie (17), Cara (15) and Erica (9).

My Mac Memories: The initial friendships made freshman year on 2nd floor Dayton; a great group of women that started the soccer club (that went Varsity the year after we left); any intramural sport (inner-tube water polo, broomball and floor hockey standout); weekend birding trips with Prof Jones; snowball fights; Saturday Night Live gatherings; Harry Larry’s; the time to grow, listen, and be with friends.

Greetings to all. I'm very happily married to my grade-school sweetheart - though it took us nearly three decades to get our act together. I'm in my 15th year as a private eye in the Chicago metro area snooping around my share of bar shootings, arson cases, murders and accident fraud. It's been great fodder for the story-writing mill. I took last year off to write two screenplays, which are currently being circulated, and to complete two novellas, which are also being adapted for the screen. I hope everyone is well and planning to attend the reunion and thanks to Carlynn and the others for pulling it together. 

Roxanne and I live in Colorado Springs, Colo., and love it. We have four kids – Erin (21), Derrick (20), Aimee (17) and Katie (9). We just work like abused sled dogs plus take care of family. Is there more to life? I am a Regional IT Manager for Lockheed Martin and volunteer with the City’s Park and Rec. Dept. Hope to see ya'll in June. Oh yeah, don't forget to donate to our Reunion Gift.

My Mac Memories: Dr. Henry Lepp's Crazy Rock adventures/stories in Geology class. Frogtown tour in Urban Geography. Getting blown out in Football yet still having fun anyway. Wednesday Night Kegs in Bill Wyss ’82 and Kurt Nelson's (’82) Kirk Hall Room senior year. Where else could one get course credit for completing a class on Star Trek (Jon Schwartz ’82 & I for Interim ’82)?
