| Occupation: | Neurologist |
| Comment: | Currently living and working in Anchorage, AK at Alaska Neurology Center. Living in AK has been a dream for my wife, Jean, and I for many years. Some of you may remember my mother Sandy Henzler. She turned 90 years old October 2024 and as she puts it: "I'm as ornery as ever!". My high school course work was done December 1974. I worked the Spring semester at Bonanza Steakhouse. Started college at the University of Colorado, Boulder the summer of 1975. Could not attend High School graduation because registration for college classes were on a Friday and the first day of summer school was on a Monday; very difficult to be in Colorado, Ohio, and then back to Colorado in three days! Received Bachelors with a major in Theater (primarily technical theater, I even had to act in a play as a graduation requirement!). Naturally, a Theater major from college is a pretty useless degree. I worked the local electronics industry for a number of years; initially in production and then in research and development. However, I missed the collaborative team effort of my college days and decided to quit electronics and try something different - I became a ski bum in Vail ! It was an interesting change of life for a while but ultimately unfulfilling. I even became depressed when I realized that some of the women walking in the streets of Vail were wearing fur outer clothing and boots worth more than my annual earnings. However, emerging out of the depression lead me to return to college, get my second major in biology, and ultimately enroll in medical school. Medical school training was in Kansas City, KS. Two years of internal medicine residency in Loma Linda, CA connected me with my wife who was working as a nurse at Loma Linda University Medical Center. Neurology residency in Iowa City, Iowa for three years; where my daughter and son were both born. Two years of private practice neurology in Phoenix (too hot!, too much crime). Three years in Lewiston, Idaho. My family and I have been in Spokane, WA since 2001. God has blessed my family and I in many ways; a good career, wonderful wife, daughter and son to be proud of, and a good place to live. I have come a long way from my troubled time growing up in Ohio. Most of the blame lay with the breakup of my parents' marriage soon after I started college. The only person I remember as a good friend from my high school days is Mike Bruno. There were a few other people who were good to/for me, especially others in the school band. I did return for a prior reunion. It was fun. Take care of yourselves and all of the best. |
| What would your friends be the most surprised to know about you now?: | I am a physician. |
| Share a favorite memory -- something that made you laugh or cry or feel pride in your school...share: | Tom Watson's marching band was the best. It was better than the University of Colorado marching band. When CU played in the Astrobluebonnet Bowl my freshman year of college, the marching band had to fill their ranks with local high school students! |
| Who was your favorite teacher?: | Chip Davis (Mannheim Steamroller) for 8th grade music and Tom Watson. |

| Occupation: | American Express - Travel Management |
| Comment: | I have been with American Express for 24 years. I started with them in an office in downtown Toledo, and then moved to Cleveland in 1987 and was there for 18 years! I loved it. My office there closed when my client's operations moved to Chicago. I could have moved to Chicago with the client, but the thought of snow, and more snow was just not appealing. AX has had a large (7000) employee base in Phoenix for years. If I was going to retire (can you believe we are talking about retiring!) from AX, I might as well do it in a warm environment without snow. Of course, if we want to go skiing, we just head up north to Flagstaff where they have great skiiing from Dec.-Mar.! I have been in Phoenix since June 24, 2004. It sticks in my mind so because it was 114 degrees that first day! Ah, welcome to the Valley of the Sun! My mother passed away in 1996 after a short bout with lung cancer (she had not smoked in 30 years!), my father was diagnosed shortly before her and lived with Parkinson's until he passed away in 2006. |
| What would your friends be the most surprised to know about you now?: | My employees think I am straight-laced. |
| Who was your favorite teacher?: | Dr. Abel |
| Share an embarrassing moment or a prank that was played on someone else or on you...: | Throwing up in the parking lot before a pep rally for a football game! Yikes! |

| Comment: | After graduating from college I spent 11 years in Denver, CO where I met my husband. We loved Colorado, however after our son was born we wanted to live near family. When our son was nearly two years old we quit our jobs packed up our belongings and moved to the Pacific Northwest to live near my husbands family. My husband and I have been married for nearly 23 years and have one son who will be starting his junior year of college at Washington State University. For the past 18 years I have managed an Orthopedic Practice which keeps me very busy as well as enjoying skiing, taking walks along the water with my Golden Retriever, going to Seattle Mariner baseball games and WSU football games. |
| What would your friends be the most surprised to know about you now?: | I am not so quite anymore and I can kick-butt in Beer Pong! Laurie Johnston and I still giggle and laugh like we did in high school and college when we are together. Nice that some things never change. |
| Share a favorite memory -- something that made you laugh or cry or feel pride in your school...share: | A few of us girls pulled an American Graffiti stunt (shave cream on the windshield and letting the air out of the tires) on one of our classmates car, think it was a really nice Camaro. Needless to say he was not very happy. |
| Who was your favorite teacher?: | Mr. Wallace |

| Occupation: | paramedical examiner |
| Comment: | It's so hard to believe it has been 35 years! The years go by too quickly. After graduation I married my first husband in 1976 and we had two great sons. Kris is now 33 and lives in Melbourne , FL with his better half Victoria and my 2 grandbabies(Maison 4 and Kyiarra 5) and Eric is 30 and lives in Toledo and is single. Both boys were born while my ex was in the Air Force -Kris in Denver, CO and Eric in Oscoda, MI. We divorced in 1986. I ve been with my husband, John for 23 years. We have 3 beautiful kids - Marissa who just turned sweet 16, Ashley who is 13 and Jonathan who is 9. Marissa is a sophomore @ Notre Dame Academy and Ashley will be a freshman there in the fall. Jonathan will be a 5th grader in the fall. It's hard to believe my daughters are both in high school now. My husband has run his own business for 25+ years here in Toledo. In 1986, I received my associates degree in Medical Assisting and worked for Dr Frank Michota for 8 years in Sylvania. I also traveled 3 states for many years conducting drug testing for Conrail. I have worked for APPS for the last 13 years as a paramedical examiner. We have lived in the Old West End for 14 years. I really love our beautiful and diverse neighborhood. I don't have alot of free time -kids activities and work keep me pretty busy -but when I have time I like to read, watch old movies or play slots on the computer. We also have 2 cats - Angel and DJ. Can't wait to see everybody in July! |

| Share an embarrassing moment or a prank that was played on someone else or on you...: | Again, one day in study hall(freshman year this time), I was attempting to pass a note to my friend(Estelle Pompili) when Mr Perry caught me and made me stand up in front of the class and read the note out loud. I was so embarrassed and I've hated him ever since. |
