Aha! I found the photo in the 1959 yearbook! It was a student stunts production That I forgot about. I had been in student stunts sophomore year I think! This is really bizarre that’s some thing we did 60 years ago foretold a future event ( sort of). Thanks for the memory! I didn’t know you very well but I think I recognized you in the photo on the far right side toward the front?
Allan, how come I do not remember that? I took drama and journalism and had Mrs Olson the drama teacher as my homeroom under the stage and yet all I can remember is the controversial Christmas play I was in as a narrator and Linda Thompson was sotto voce and also the fact that I had waited until my senior year to fulfill my wish to be in the spring play and then they did A musical and I can’t sing! Ha ha I will have to look up my 1958 yearbook and check this out. All I know is that In real life chaos at the capital was not a comedy!

I want to be the first classmate to wish you "Happy 79th Birthday" in advance, Sally. In your latest posted photo, you look young and carefree and in charge of your life. How many people can say to you: "I remember when you were one of my most favorite classmates in Kindergarten at Deerfield Grammar School"? LOL, Delaney.
Nancy was one of my dear friends in high school and part of my "group"… Had lots of fun at slumber parties talking about boys! I shared the love of journalism with her too and we had fun Working on the shoreline.Wish I had spent more time with her at the last reunion.
Still doing fine healthwise and happy living in the valley of the sun with my two cats. Got a piano last year for my birthday and have just been enjoying getting back to playing! Lotta changes in the last year for my two daughters one got divorced after 35 years and one lost her fiancé of 10 years to illness. Posted a picture of them first time I had two single daughters in over 30 years.

Hello everyone! I will not be attending this year's reunion and doubtful any in the future. I am still in good health, retired in the Valley of the sun in AZ with my 2 cats Riff and Raven but really don't care to travel anymore. plus, and this was a big plus....the air went out of my sails and my enthusiasm for reunions really took a hit when Eric Engberg left our planet. I loved working with him both back in HPHS and on the 50th reunion. Hope you all have a great time. My new master photo is me and my daughters Robin in back and Brooke to my left.
My family of daughters and 4 grandkids still are either living out here in AZ also or are temporarily absent. My granddaughter Brynne is in law school in Boston and my granddaughter Gina is a manager of a restaurant at Lake Powell near the Arizona Utah border. My grandsons Tony and Bryce are working and living in Arizona. None of my grandchildren are married and there are no great grandkids in my life.
PS I got a piano for my 78th birthday and am enjoying playing again!

Omg Susan, we had such a good chat last night! So envious of your creative accomplishments your fairies are so beautiful! Now that I am not working at all I think when I look back my most satisfying work was when I was trying to run a costume business. I was always getting close when I was young and I think I had dreams of being a designer of some type. Anyway I lived so close to you and saw you so much and was surprised shocked at some of your disclosures on here to other classmates I guess I was pretty naïve. Sorry I wasn’t a better friend!
Trying a volunteer job now as a literary tutor. My students is a 46-year-old grandmother who left school at 16 to have six kids and now wants to get her GED .

Haven’t written since 2014 and I am still in my cozy little apartment but I have another retirement now and that is from writing. It was nice while it lasted but the man I was working for in the UK was not making his goals and has closed all those websites but it is all right with me I am a door closer No regrets. Since I last wrote I rescued another kitten from my apartment complex where it was abandoned in 2015 and had three cats for couple years until my beloved Romeo became sick and died this year age 13 so I still have two Raven and riff who are my sun and stars ha ha. Made it back to Illinois this summer to visit my brother who is 83 and still lives in Wheeling and found the 70° summer weather a great reprieve from our Arizona heat. If we have a 60th reunion at this time I am planning to go so that I can visit him again. My main goal in life right now is just to stay healthy enjoy my freedom and my cats and try not to stress too much about who is POTUS!
