July 10, 1953 Menlo Park CA business analyst/developer Married 2
I have fond memories of OPRF (when I can remember anything from that long ago!), and I appreciate much more in retrospect what a good high school it was.  It took me awhile, through college and for several years after, to settle down in one occupational direction, but it's all worked out in the end.

I went to Harvard to major in Applied Math (there was no Computer Science then), but ended up as an Art major and actually worked as an Art Editor for Houghton Mifflin Co. for four years, in Boston.  Around that time, China was just starting to open up and our family went there in 1977, the first time for Lisa and I.  After that I got interested in learning Chinese and Chinese history, and I successfully applied to a Master's program in East Asian Studies at Stanford.  Although I never did finish the Master's, I did meet my delightful hubbie in a Chinese literature class there (his Chinese is really good), and I found interesting and rewarding work at Stanford, which has lasted just over 30 years now!

The specifics of my work at Stanford has varied over the years, as I've been in different jobs in different areas, but it's basically always had to do with both people and computers.  Right now I am the project lead on the launch of a new student reporting system -- which is going live on 10/19 or I would've tried to make the reunion.  I've very much enjoyed working at Stanford -- it's a beautiful campus and there are always interesting things going on -- recently Doug and I attended a taiko drumming workshop!

The best part of these past years, for sure, has been having a family and getting to raise two wonderful children to adulthood.  I still miss them, though they've been out on their own for awhile now -- Nick is in New York City, working for Google and Allie is in Kunming, China, teaching English.  We had a great family trip to visit her this past summer.

Good wishes and greetings to everyone, and maybe I can make the next gathering!

Oak Park IL Retired Single

As a last resort I became a businessman and got an MBA from Northwestern. I worked for the U.S. Treasury Department as a federal savings and loan regulator for 25 years. My work involved writing, financial analysis, laws and regulations, and computer programming. Since retiring in 2002 I've been a volunteer tutor, environmental and historic-preservation political campaigner, and class reunion co-organizer. Oak Park High proved to be very important in my life.

May 01 Punta Gorda FL Author www.beccastjohn.com Married 3
A lot of years to catch-up on ~ graduated from UW-Oshkosh with a degree in Speech/Theater though never, really, worked in my field. Met and married an Englishman, so lived on that side of the pond. After a bit he said it was his turn to live in a foreign country so, with 3 children under the age of four, we moved to the states. Wyoming became home for twenty years (near Jackson Hole). Moved to Florida last year where hubby kayaks and fishes (happily retired) while I work, as Becca St. John, writing medieval and Regency romance novels. Yes, romance novels ~ foolish romantic that I am. My three daughters; an artist, a businesswoman and an intellectual, are now off on their own careers. No grandchildren yet, but one can hope.  We'll be traveling overseas, so I'll miss the reunion ~ but I've no doubt you all will have a blast!

After OPRF I ended up in IT. In 2005 I became a grandfather. Over the last 20+ years I have been an avid motorcycle enthusist and spend as much time on my bike as I can. In 2008 I completed my quest to ride in the lower 48 states. Yes I do hope to ride to Alaska but that will have to wait until after I fully retire.
