I've just been reading a few of the bio's and thought I would add mine. I graduated from WAHs in 1963. I stayed in Germany till my dad was sent to Myrtal Beach, SC. I started school, but ended up getting married in Dec. 65 to someone I met while still in Germany. He was born in Wuerzburg and is German. He was in the German Air Force and we saw quite a bit of Germany from those assignments. We have 3 children, Marc, 40, who lives in Germany with his wife and children: Eric, 38, who lives in St. Pete, Fl and our daughter Sandra (Sandy) 30 who is a travel nurse and at the moment is in Portland, Or. I feel I was one of the lucky wives who could stay home and be full time home maker, wife and mother. After 23 years in the GAF, my husband of 42 years, retired and we movet to the states where we have lived for the past 20 years. Horst went to USF and got his masters in international business and finance and is now with Raymond James and Associates in the international equity capital market. Horst's job takes him over seas on a very regular basis and we are in Germany at least 5 times a year, sometimes more. We have a home in Prichsenstadt, a very small town just east of Wuerzburg, closer to Kitzingen By the way, Kitzingen is closed now except for a few troops. Wuerzburg will be closing in a year, I believe. We just got back from Germany the 9th of June. The day before our flight there was a winefest in our little town, what a way to leave. We will be returning to Germany mid July, just in time for another fest of some kind. I too have great memories of Germany. To all my old classmates, hi. I was only there for my senior year, but it was still a great year.

Left Germany right after graduation. Floated across from Bremerhaven to New York on a troop ship (sick for 4 days). My parents stayed in Germany for another year. Dad was American Red Cross Field Director for Wurzburg base and many others in the vicinity. Returned to live with my sister for a short time in San Jose, CA. Attended San Jose City College and then San Jose State University (BSEE, 1971). Worked at Hewlett-Packard/Agilent Technologies for a total of 35 years (1965-2000). Early years in Palo Alto, CA but most of the time in Ranta Rosa, CA. Have been married 22 years....however, it has taken me 3 wives to do this ! I married in 1968 and we had 1 son, Timothy in 1973....divorced in 1978. Married again in 1984 (just after a 5 month trip through all of Europe to see everything I missed while in High School). Divorced in 1989. Married Marie in 2000 (we're very old friends....long story) in Hawaii. She has a son from a prior marriage. We are very, very happy. I! retired from HP/Agilent in 2000 and in 2001 we moved from Santa Rosa, CA to Williams, Oregon (just south of Grants Pass and Medford). We have real estate investments and a vacation home at the coast. Had kidney cancer in late 2005. Still in remission and life is good ! We have a wonderful home and we are comfortable. WAHS memories: It is COLD in the winter in Germany ! Tough crossing the air strip sometimes. Forced to play flag football in shorts in the snow !! I was almost drafted to play on the REAL football team when I got to the school in Oct. of 1962. But when I convinced the guys that I only weighed about 120 lbs., they decided not to use me. Great teachers !The prom and graduation were great fun. Does anyone remember the senior trip to Paris ?? I'd like to know what ever happened to Kathy "Bugs" Riordan ? e-mail me at: bella_vista@echoweb.net. Love to hear from any of you. Does anybody go to the reunions ?

After college I got a job building submarines at Mare Island, in Vallejo, CA near San Francisco. Got married 1968 and left the shipyard in '69 after they sunk a sub at the dock (great story). Worked for Ford in Detroit 69-75 while making 4 kids and going to night law school. Worked for a Detroit law firm for a short time in 75-76, then back to SF. Worked for PG&E while getting a divorce and studying for CA bar. Passed that in '77 and moved to San Diego in '78. Worked for SDG&E until 1983 then moved to an equipment leasing company that was bought by GE Capital in '90. Got married to Pat in '81 and we are enjoying our 6-year old, Sarah. Worked at GE Capital as house counsel until April this year, when they moved the office to Anaheim and I quit because of the 1 1/2 hour one way commute. Now being Mr. Mom, which is possible only because of the outrageous behavior of the stock market lately. Aside from wasting time at the computer, I like to sail, swim and generally hang out, when I'm not driving Sarah around to her various activities. I have 4 kids from my first marriage, 2 of whom don't talk to me. The other two are just fine. Keri manages the Limited store in Horton Plaza, San Diego. She's married to a writer and has a 4-year old girl. Jeremy went to USNA and is currently in Monterey attending Naval Postgraduate School. He and his wife had a little boy in July '99. Life is pretty damn good.

Stayed in Germany 2 years after graduation. My dad had two more years so I decided to stay and explore. We moved to Hanau during the summer of 63 and I worked, and traveled all over Germany on weekends. Upon returning to the states, stayed in NJ a few months, found it not to my liking so moved to SF for a couple years. On to Hawaii for 9 years. Got married in Hawaii - that lasted just over 4 years, no children. Headed for Anchorage, Alaska where I met my second husband. Worked for Ingersoll-Rand there during the wind-down of the building of the pipeline. Exciting times in Alaska. Left there in 79 and headed to Santa Fe, NM. What a great city!! On to El Paso, TX (my second husband worked for civil service & we moved a lot). Our one and only child (a beautiful 20 year old daughter) was born there. On to Puerto Rico for 3 years (great times there). From PR to Orangeburg, SC. Beautiful place to live. The second marriage fell apart there & my daughter a! nd I moved to Vero Beach, Fl to be near family (my mom and sister live here). Have been very happy here and life gets better and better. I have great memories of WHS. Lived in Wurzburg from 57 - 60 so attended there during freshman year. My dad was sent back to Germany in 62 and we were in Kitzingen that time. Once again at WHS for my senior year. Great friends and memories from both times.

I graduated from WAHS in June of -63 and entered the Air Force. In August of 67 I met my future bride (Genia). Ten days later we were engaged, and tied the knot in Dec. 1967. We have two daughters (Andrea and Stacey). After 24 years the Air Force quit being fun, so I retired and started a "real" job. I've been working for LEXIS-NEXIS for 17 years and am looking forward to retiring again in the not-to-distant future. I'm hoping to see and hear from fellow schoolmates and the many friends we've made over the years. It's been a wonderful ride and I often reflect on the Wurzburg years as the "start of it all". Thank you all. You're remembered with fondness.
