Personal narrative!

In 2009, our 45th year after leaving LHS, I'm still "back East," living near Philadelphia. Dan and I will celebrate being married 43 years in August. I've had many careers including owning and operating a weekly newspaper, serving as school tax collector, achieving a law degree while working as investor relations and communications director at a steel company, acting as COO of a high tech company, marketing and administrative director at a local hospital and now work as chief management officer for the local county government. Just can't figure out what I want to be when I grow up! We have two grown sons, one lives near us and has 3 children and the other lives in Salt Lake City and has 2 children.

A Loveland memory from 1950/60 era!
I have great memories of working on Raspy's foiled campaign to become president of the student body. One of the best was the great idea someone had (was that you, Rich?) to write on multiple rolls of toilet paper, "Have a wipe on Raspy." There were so many good things about Loveland that I remember: the Pet and Doll Parade when we were very young, the fun of being at the fairground for the annual "fair," the joy of living in a small town during the 50s and 60s. I still smile at my first car, a 1954 Mercury, with the passenger door that fell off when opened -- so everyone had to get out on the driver side. It was very funny when we all (Peggy Malchow, Linda Mogenson, Marji Speece) went to Denver and had to lift the door back onto the car.
