1-800-SHADES-OF-THE-KING ÒI
have been married for 27 years this November (2009) to my wonderful husband
Bill, who is a corporate pilot.
We have lived in Avon, OH for the past 11 years. We have one awesome son Logan, age
20, an honors college student double majoring in Mechanical Engineering and
Applied Mathematics at the University of Akron. I
have worked as a bookkeeper most of the time since graduation (with the
exception of when Logan was a baby-I stayed home and watched Sesame Street
and other vital programs with him).
My previous job was as bookkeeper/office manager/event planner for a
company that published magazines for the confectionery industry (being
surrounded by candy all the time is quite dangerous!). Due to a health scare this summer
(Hello Lisa, This is God, time to get on with your life...), I decided to
quit my job of 12+ years (yes, I am crazy), and go to school full time at
Lorain County Community College to become an accountant. College is interesting, challenging,
and I sure wish I had gone right out of high school when it was so much
easier to remember things! When
not at school, I can usually be found at my desk studying at all hours,
wasting valuable time on the computer (Facebook anyone?), or if the weather
is nice, out working in the yard, taking pictures of something in the yard,
or walking my two dogs (at least my husband says they are "mine"
and not ours!) Such
is my life, and I wouldn't change a thing (well, a winning lottery ticket
would be nice...)Ó (Info as of Oct. 2009)

1980 Yearbook Mr.
Rob Squire Deceased [Feb. 1978] (homicide) Big
news in the papers and at school.
Really shouldn't say more on it. Ms.
Andrea (Stanich) Healy ÒIt was great to see everyone at the last reunion. Tom and I will celebrate our 28th
wedding anniversary in June, 2009.
I have two children (Justin, 25 and Jennifer, 20) and I live in
Strongsville, Ohio. We have
lived in Strongsville for 18 years.
In that time, I became a tanning salon owner, and ran the
business (Tanners Cove) for seven years in Strongsville. I'm
currently a driving instructor.
I also have a managing nail tech license and I just might make use of
it someday while it is still active!
I continue to play the guitar and sing. I enjoy writing poetry and songs in my spare time. I graduated early in January of "80", and chose
not to attend commencement or have a senior photo taken. Instead, I took a vacation to
celebrate my freedom. My diploma
came via mail and that was fine by me! I hope everyone is enjoying life and living it to the
fullest!Ó (Info as of Jan. 2009)
J.P.Õs
Idea: Maybe you can wrap up all
those business skills into one.
How about a custom bus thatÕs a rolling classroom/ breakroom / command
center for your driving students?
They can get their nails done by one of your staff, get a tan, closely
study the habits of other drivers from the observation dome, get certified to
drive a class C vehicle (your bus), or just have a cup of java (no charge)
while listening to songs you wrote with lyrics that reinforce the rules of
traffic safety
(CDs start at $3.99). "After
graduation I attended Huntington College, Huntington, IN. While there I got my B.S. and also my
"M.R.S.": Rodney &
I were married our junior year and just celebrated our 22nd anniversary. We've been blessed with four amazing
kids - David (17), Emily (14), Erin (12), and Sam (9). We live in Strongsville. I've worked for Marc's
Pharmacies
for the past 16 years, and am also a girls' high-school basketball coach and
junior-high youth-group leader.
I can be reached via e-mail at momsthebomb12@aol.com ". (Info as of April 2005)
