I truly enjoy the entertainment and nostalgic feelings I get reading everyone's posts and write ups! It's great to read how our lives have progressed over the years.  My husband, Dave (class of '70) and I have planned our trip to South Dakota. I look forward to seeing everyone and hearing first-hand all the stories and old memories from our class. After Dave graduated USD in '74, we got married and moved to Bloomington, IL where we still live today.  We have two children who are both married.  Jonathan and his wife, Barbara, live in Texas with our two beautiful granddaughters, Olivia (2) & Violet (4 months).   Melissa and her husband, Brandon, live in Bloomington with two grandpuppies. Dave has worked with State Farm Insurance for 38 years and plans to retire in 2013.  I continue to direct a choir at church, give piano lessons, substitute teach, and work a summer job at the State Farm Park & Pool.

Greetings from an old, fat, grouchy classmate.  Just kidding, I'm not grouchy!   I am sorry to say Dennis and I will not be able to make it for the reunion.  I know we will miss out on a lot of fun, but each of you have a drink for me!  After graduating I married Dennis Lagerlof (class of '71).  Dennis decided that he would make his career in the military which turned out to be a wonderful decision.  We traveled between Germany and Denver on different tours and ended up in Denver CO.  During the last 40 years we have managed to complete our college educations, have challenging careers, raise 2 fascinating children, enjoy watching our 2 energetic grandchildren grow and handle whatever came at us regarding Dennis's health, We never have a dull moment together and pray that we have several more years to celebrate life.  We have truly been blessed.  Five years ago we moved to Sioux Falls to be closer to family and I am employed at The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan National Campus as the Accounts Receivable Payment Supervisor. Please drop an email - I'd love to hear from you ALL! Remember our door is always open! Have a wonderful time reminiscing about the good 'ol days.  Our email is lager1176@sio.midco.net. 

Planning to attend

I am still in Rapid City and still teaching. I teach online exclusively  and this year I have finally given up my summer job.   Now I have time to visit with friends and attend events like this reunion.

I will be there for the Friday and Saturday activities.  I look forward to seeing all who attend.

I have given up trying to add my name to your lists on the right side.

See you.

Greetings, Everyone!

After graduating from USD in 1976, I moved to Omaha to begin what became a 24 year IT career with Mutual of Omaha.  I decided I wanted more than one company on my resume, so I moved to ConAgra Foods in 2000, but the allure of insurance drew me back to my current employer, Physicians Mutual, in 2003.  I met my wife, Fran, at Mutual, and we will celebrate our 25^th anniversary tomorrow.  We have a daughter, Jess, who graduated from Creighton in 2011 and is a Registered Nurse.  Our younger daughter, Jenny, will begin her junior year in Nursing at Creighton in the fall.  One to care for each of us in our old age?  Just a thought.

Looking forward to a seeing many of you in July!
