I have been with the Huntingdon Police Department since 1986, I guess the drive to the prom decided this fate for me. I have been married for 21 years now and my son, Brandon graduates in 25 days and has already been sworn into the navy. Retirement may happen any day but I am still having way to much fun so will hang in there for a while. Proud to always be a WOLF.

Fort Walton Beach, Florida
After graduating in 1982 I hung out in Wurzburg for about a year or so until I followed my twin brother John to Killeen, TX. I stayed in Killeen working at a furniture store with Teddy Roberts (class of 82)and hanging out with the likes of Wesley Watson, Neil Stampley, Rexine McGruder, Gary Hayward and a couple of other folks from the Wurzburg Alumni. In 1985 I finally decided to do something with my life and joined the Air Force. Since then I spent two years (1985-1987)stationed at Spangdahlem AB, Germany and then the next nine years (1987-1996) Stationed at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas. There I met my beautiful wife Julia. We have four awesome kids (3 step children and one between us). From there I spent a year at Osan AB, Korea and then two and half years down in Panama doing drug interdiction stuff in central and south america. From there I spent four years at Altus AFB in Altus , Ok which is probably one of the worst places to be stationed in the US. After dodging ! tornados and being bored to death in Altus I volunteered for another tour to Osan AB, Korea. My follow-on assignment brought me to current tour of duty as Chief of Communications and Information for the 25th Intelligence Squadron and Hurlburt Feild in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. I live here with my wife and 2 daughters Suleica and Cassie and I have one son, Christopher, in the Air Force stationed at Nellis AFB, Nv and one son in the Army reserve in Iraq. If anyone who knows me ever swings through the Florida pan-handle I would love to say hi.

Moved to Fort Hood with Teddy Roberts, Jim and John Metcalf, Rexine McGruder, Gary Hayward, Patsy Harris...hung out a few years with this fun bunch and enjoyed life. Met my future wife while over a friends house and knew from that moment we would become lifetime partners Decided it was time to make some life altering decisions...so Jim Metcalf and I went to visit our local Air Force recruiter...I joined the AF in Mar 1985, and got married in June of the same year. My first duty assignment was Goodfellow AFB TX, after 5 years under the hot sun, while at Goodfellow, my first daughter (Shanice) said hello to this world. Uncle Sam decided I had enough and sent the 3 of us packing to Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska for 7 years, with lots of dark nights and cold weather, we kept busy producing extensions to our family, Britney was born in 1992 and in 1994 my youngest (Tia) came into this world to bless us once again. Oh, by the way...I'm messing a very important event in my life, in 1994 I gave my life to the Lord and havn't looked back since. Now on with the rest of my story. In 1997, Uncle Sam decided we needed a long extended vacation and sent us packing to Hickam AFB, Hawaii. Although most would think of Hawaii as a vacation, I set some pretty heavy goals while here...so most of my time went to finishing my B.S and completing my Microsoft Certification...my family enjoys hiking and the outdoors, so we try to get out to explore as much as possible...in my spare time I like to hit a few white balls around large acres of clear cut grass with flags all over the place...some call it golf, but I prefer hacking as a better term. I'm looking forward to the reunion in July, for all those who want to reach me, drop me an e-mail at wildman353@aol.com would really love to hear from you
Best Memory: Going on trips with the basketball team and cross-country team. Driving to the Senior Prom with Derrick Blow in a borrowed car while only having received my license two-weeks earlier. Hanging out with the Kitzingen gang...and playing basketball behind the DYA after school...really all of my memories were great!!!!

I am recently remarried a wonderful named Michael. I have two boys (handsome ones I might add!) from my previous marriage....T.J. (14) and Matthew Jace (10). I work for Kansas State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital and love it! I guess all those business classes paid off as I pretty much run the office of the large animal clinic and "try" to keep track of over 30 veterinarians. I have been successful in the dog show world and one day I hope to have a homebred Champion entered....I raise, train, and breed Collies, and recently aquired a beautiful Australian Cattle Dog (known to many as Blue Heelers)......which we plan to raise and show soon! It is amazing how fast the years have passed and I never dreamed there would ever be a class reunion for Wurzburg High School!
Best Memory: Sitting in Lit Class with Tom Woods and smelling those awful JOCK SOCKS!!!

Genevieve Knych
San Francisco, CA
Education: Masters in Organizational Management, BS in International Relations from the Univ. of San Diego
Date: January 25, 2000
I left WAHS to attend the University of San Diego where I majored in International Relations. I spent one semester studying in London and upon graduation accepted a job managing lighting stores in Los Angeles, CA. That was not the most challenging job I'd ever had (Working at the AAFES toy store was harder) so I took a job as a Regional Account Manager with Clairol (the hair color company). After 4 years with them gaining management experience and taking the classes needed for my degree in Organizational Management I moved on to Marion Merrell Dow. I sold pharmaceuticals for a few years, then took a job selling blood bank products for Johnson and Johnson. I then decided to quit my job, sell my house on the beach and go traveling. I went around the country saying goodbye to my family and then took off for South America. I spent 4 months traveling around on a truck and camping. I was able to go into the Amazon Jungle in Ecuador, and fish for piranha, hike to Manchu Picchu in ! Peru, climb to the top of the world's tallest ski resort in Bolivia, spend New Years in Santiago Chile, hike the Torres Del Paine National Park, see penguins up close, visit Eva Peron's grave in Buenos Aires, Visit Iguazu Falls and I ended my trip by attending Carnival in Rio. Following that trip I went home for a friends wedding, visited family and then moved to the UK for 6 months. On my return I took a job as a headhunter in San Francisco. I've been placing software engineers for the past two years and it has been a great job for me. I've been able to do a little traveling and the highlights from this year were my two week trip to Costa Rica and my New Years celebration in Sydney Australia. Starting the millennium watching fire works over the Opera house while lounging on a sail boat was pretty cool.
I'm now getting myself ready for the reunion in Las Vegas. I already have reservations for myself and my parents. I do hope I see you there.
Best Memory: Hanging out on the bus rides to and from our soccer games. It was a really nice group of people to hang out with.

Patrick Walker (Wertheim 74-88)
Montgomery, AL
Education: BA-Physical Science, MS Logistics Management
Date: Saturday, June 10, 2000
After graduation in 82, I attended U of M at Munich. After 2 fine years there, majoring in Fine Arts, I returned to Wertheim and looked for a job. Ended up working as a GS04 at the Furnishings Branch of the Housing Office. By a stroke of (bad?) luck, I ended up being the man in charge of the branch when the manager up and quit. All that responsibility thrust upon me changed my life forever. In 1987, I had to leave the job as I was no longer a dependent (23 by that point). I wanted to marry my then girlfriend, a nice German girl who lived next door. So I decided to enlist in the Air Force, reporting to Basic Training at Lackland AFB, TX, March 88. During those 6 weeks of Basic, I wondered what the hell was I doing there, but I did survive to go on to Denver for Tech training. My Air Force specialty was as a Weapons System Control Specialist for the AC130 gunship so after 6 months of training, I ended up in sunny FT Walton Beach at Hurlburt Fld, the home of AF Special Ops. During that move I married that nice German girl. I was at Hurlburt Fld from 88-91. During that time I strove hard to finish my degree, but realized it would happen as quickly as I wanted. It became my aspiration to get a commission, but my age was becoming a barrier. I got out in 91 to attend Troy St. University at Troy AL and joined the AF ROTC program there. I earned a BA in Physical Science and received my commission in the summer of 93. My first duty station as a lieutenant was at Cannon AFB, NM. A dust hole is the best way to describe that experience. Unfortunately, it was too much for that nice German girl who suffered from severe homesickness so we ended up divorced. I spent two years (94-96) in New Mexico and left for an assigment to Wright Patterson AFB Ohio to attend the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT)to earn my masters in Logistics Management. I graduated in 97 and left for Maxwell AFB, AL. During my last few months in Ohio, I met someone over the internet (believe it or not) and we ended up married in 98. I am now the daddy of four stepchildren, ages 14,12,10,8, boy,girl,boy,girl and two dachshunds and a Himalayan. I currently work at the Air Force Logistics Management Agency for HQ Air Force and have orders to go back to Germany (Ramstein) after 12 years of trying.
Best Memory: My best memories of WAHS lie in the two years I played soccer there and the great times I had in Spanish classes (Ms. McGhee) and Biology (Mr. Winn)

I work in the business office of a very small rural hospital in Gold Beach, Or and my husband is a logger. All of the kids have left the nest now but are all real close.

Jeanette Combs
Atlanta, GA
Well, for an update...I have just finished my second try at marriage....just not my bag. Any of my old buds will tell you I am too independent for my own good, at times. My kids are now 18 (daughter) and 13 (son). My new email addy to contact me is pandoramoondragon65@yahoo.com, for those of you who are interested. I am still a hairdresser. I love my job. Still living in a southern suburb of Atlanta. I have been back in touch with a few of the FREAKS from Kitzingen for a little while now....any more of you...feel free to email me!!! I am still the crazy chick deep down inside and let her loose as often as I can. If anyone knows how to contact Ms. Jan Harris (my cosmetology teacher from 80-82).

Richard Buller
Hamburg, Germany
After WAHS I spent a year in Aberdeen, MD hanging out and lifting weights and playing B-ball at the post gym. Then it was off to Texas Tech where I majored in Industrial Engineering, rugby and beer. After that I ended up working for an automotive supplier in Coburg, Germany from 91-92 who was looking to move to the US. Their plans didn't pan out and I moved on. On to public accounting in Frankfurt at KPMG a big six accounting firm. Married a nice German girl in 94. I went to night school at U of M (94-95) in Germany and even a semester in College Park (cashed in on hundreds of hours of overtime) and got my CPA in 95. Moved on in 96 to become the financial controller of a subsidiary of a Canadian automotive supplier in Gelnhausen close to Hanau. hated that and moved on to PricewaterhouseCoopers - Hamburg in 98 doing transaction support and corporate finance work. Transferred to the Mergers & Acquisitions department in 99 in Frankfurt. Then transferred to the Toronto, ! Canada office still doing M&A in 2001. Leaving the nice German girl behind. In 2001 I qualified as a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), moved back to Germany to work for a four man M&A Investment Bank in Hamburg and Munich.
Currently the nice German girl and I are in the process of getting a divorce. What's worse is that the realization that I now qualify to play old boys rugby is finally sinking in. In Toronto I played first team for the Toronto Scottish and now am back at my old Hamburg club the Exiles. Long gone are my soccer playing days it seems.
Now I enjoy the odd weekend in London, hanging out with old friends from my PwC days getting a bit messy down at the pub. Oh yeah, Greg Manwaring down in Munich keeps threatening to come up for a visit, but never does. Greg, jubbels is waiting for you...she really is.

Conny Leeson Boyd
Pelham, Alabama
Went off to College at The University of Alabama, finished with a B.S. in Nursing (a few too many football parties blew med school plans). In the process found a fine young southern gentleman, Dwain, and have been married for 15 years. Have two beautiful children, Stephanie and Michael. Stephanie is my dancer, although she can shoot a mean jump shot, like her mom:>,and Michael is quite the jock himself, already excelling in all sports dad signs him up for. I managed to squeak out a Masters degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner and have been doing that for almost 5 years with a large Cardiology Group in the heart of Alabama. My favorite memory: Too many to list!
