other and our family. We have three children and eight grandchildren (four

boys and four girls). We enjoy being involved in everything that our

grandchildren do. Three of the boys are very involved in football and travel

baseball. Our oldest granddaughter goes to the University of Michigan and is

studying to be a doctor. She will be going to India to study next year. Due to

the fact that we are big Spartan fans, it was sort of hard for me to buy my first

Michigan items. This year we made a trip to Savannah, GA to watch one of

our granddaughters compete in National Dance Competition. We were so glad

that we were there to watch her, as her dance group took the grand prize out of

40 dance studios that competed. I still love to dance as much as I ever did and

really enjoy watching my granddaughters carry on the tradition of dancing in

our family. George does a lot of golfing in the summer and in the winter we

go to Florida for a couple of months. It‟s hard to believe it has been 50 years

since I graduated, but it is true what they say – time really does fly. I am so

excited for our 50th class reunion and to see all of my former classmates.

Jerry and I were Everett High School sweethearts and our 50th wedding

anniversary is coming up in January of 2014. God has blessed us with three

beautiful children – Danielle, Brent and Christian. We also have three awesome

grandchildren – Ezekiel, Victoria and Ava. What joy they bring to our lives! It

has been an interesting and very full life. Jerry served 26 years as a firefighter

for the City of Lansing. I was a beautician and owned a beauty salon in south

Lansing. We both sold real estate for Century 21 (Jerry still does). We did the

country life with milking goats raising chickens, pigs and cats and breeding

Springer spaniel dogs. We have been boaters (Jerry‟s Swedish Viking blood!)

and we lived aboard our ketch “Morningstar:, sailing the Great Lakes and the

warmer climes in winter – the Bahamas, Exhumes, and Key West – traveling

down the Mississippi. Another trip took us through the Erie Canal, New York

and down the eastern seaboard. Then along came the grandkids (“boat anchors”

as Jerry calls them). So we sold the boat to spend time with them. Now we

travel via our motor home. It has been a wonderful life (my favorite movie) and

we can‟t wait to see all of our high school peers at the reunion and eagerly

anticipate what God has in store for us in the next chapter of our lives.

year. Now I‟m simply enjoying my retirement. I like traveling,

hiking/walking my dog, reading, boating, swimming, skiing, fishing,

gardening, friendships, and being a mom and grandmother. I have three

grown children: Heather Grace Harney Awad (Omar) of Shoreview, MN,

Jason Axel Harney (Yuliya) of Whitmore Lake, MI, and Adam Jacob

Harney (Deneil) of Chelsea, MI. I have four Minnesota granddaughters

and Jason and Yuliya expect their first child in early November. Five

Granddaughters! I spend a lot of time in Minnesota including trips to

Colorado with my granddaughters, and in the UP of Michigan at my

LaSalle Island cabin (Lake Huron) with family and friends. I‟m looking

forward to seeing everyone at the reunion!

I married Joyce in 1967 and we recently celebrated our 46

st anniversary. I

earned my B.A and M.A. degrees from MSU. I retired in 2006 having spent 36

years as a classroom teacher in Jackson, MI. I also spent seven years in the U.S.

Navy – five years in active reserves (1963-1968) and two years on active sea

duty (1969-1970). Joyce also retired in 2006 after having worked 26 years for

Spring Arbor University. Joyce and I have two children: Eric (41) and Nicole

(32). Eric is an ordained Baptist minister in Flushing, Michigan. He is married

to Julie and they have two children: Miranda (13) and Timothy (10). Our

daughter Nicole is also married (Daryl) and she is now a stay-at-home mom in

Saginaw County. She and Daryl have two little girls: Cora (3 years old) and

Clara (15 months old). We love to see our grandchildren as often as possible.

Joyce and I have been active members of Spring Arbor Free Methodist Church

for 40 years. We have enjoyed making our home in that community. We travel

when we can and enjoy being with family and friends. To close, I would say that

finding Christ was my greatest discovery; marrying Joyce was one of my best

decisions; and parenting and raising Eric and Nicole was my most rewarding

“job.” I wish everyone a great time at the reunion.

Ken and I have been married forty six years this August and plan to celebrate in

Sedona, Arizona. We have two sons and a daughter and their spouses living in

or near Lansing who have blessed us with ten grandkids ages two to fourteen.

We love interacting with them often. We are active members of Central Free

Methodist Church where currently Ken serves as facility and finance manager

and I help in our English as a Second Language program. Ken taught math in

the Lansing School District at Walter French, Pattengill and Eastern for 34

years. Since retiring eleven years ago he has enjoyed teaching math to

prospective elementary teachers eight weekends a year for Spring Arbor

University. I taught fourth grade for two years at Moore‟s Park Elementary

School then stayed home to care for our children. At neighbors‟ requests I

began providing child care in our home which evolved into a full time job for

twenty years! Ken and I have been blessed with opportunities to travel – to

Germany with my parents, siblings and their spouses, to Brazil with our kids to

visit family living there, to Greece with my brother and his wife celebrating

their twenty fifth and our thirty fifth wedding anniversaries, Caribbean cruises,

and trips to Florida and the West with our kids and grandkids, all the while

enjoying the breath-taking beauty of God‟s creation. Our dream is a family

cruise to Alaska. I look forward to the challenge of recognizing former

classmates at our reunion.

in the home I bought 40 years ago. Now it is painted a dark purple so

as to show my outgoing personality. I‟ve retired twice and for the

past nine years am keeping out of trouble working part-time in a

church-run day care taking care of infants. I‟ve volunteered for the

past 10 years each week at the Love Closet (we give new and gently

used clothing and coats to school-age children three times a year,

sent to us through Christian Services). Reading, company, outings

with friends, yard work, flowers and had sewing keep the rest of my

time filled. I‟ve been blessed with a rewarding life and I would hope

that all my classmates have also been able to share in God‟s good

blessings and bounty, also.

I am now a sorority house director (mom) at Alpha Chi Omega, MSU.

So I‟m not totally retired yet. I love being around all these gals. There

I have been married to a wonderful woman for the past 40 years and we

retired to South Carolina in 2009. I retired from the US Environmental

Protection Agency as a Senior Biologist/Regulatory Ecotoxicologist,

and as the US National Coordinator (OECD Test Guidelines Program)

with 31 years of federal service (US Army, Food and Drug

Administration, US EPA). I worked in the Washington, DC area during

that time and we resided in Maryland for almost 35 years (1974-2009).

Prior to being a FED, I worked in private industry (Pharmacia, Inc. and

FMC Corp) for several years as a technical rep and as a consulting

ecologist, first for a MD and then a VA environmental consulting

company. I attended Michigan State University (1963-1967) after

leaving Everett High School and received a BS in zoology. Fortunately

I was able to also attend the University of Michigan Biological Station

(UMBS, Pellston, MI) during the summers of 1965 and ‟66. This

valuable experience convinced me that my career interests and goals

were to be ecological and environmental biology. After leaving MSU I

attended graduate school at the University of Kansas (Lawrence, KS)

and received a MA in zoology (1970). At about this time things were

really “popping” in a small country in SE Asia. I was prime selective

service material and spent most of my years at KU trying to finish my

masters research while at the same time avoiding the draft. Two weeks

after my research was completed, I was drafted (for the 4th time!). I

narrowly avoided going to Vietnam and instead was stationed in MD as

a biologist studying the field effects of chemical test agents (18969-

‟71). After discharge from the Army I entered a PhD program at

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and studied under a

professor I had met at UMBS. I married another graduate student in

aquatic entomology in 1973 and graduated with a PhD in 1974. We

then moved to MD. We have two children, a son married, living in

MD and working in the biotechnology area. Our daughter lives in

Chicago and works in retail sales/marketing. She will be getting

married in October 2013 in Myrtle Beach, SC and we are currently all

heavily involved in planning for this event, and as a result I am not able

to attend the 50th reunion. I am enjoying retirement and thankful for all

the interesting experiences and trips to various meetings I took to

Europe and throughout the US while employed by EPA. We are

continuing to travel to places in the US we have not seen. We

especially like to cruise and plan to continue doing this. Besides travel,

my hobbies include stamp and coin collecting, photography, and

reading in my biological fields of interest. I am also very interested in

climate change and in some areas of US history, economics and

political science. That about does it. I give best wishes to those special

friends I had while at EHS (Roger, Norman N. Richard P., Terry A.

etc) and later at MSU.

lots of time reading – mostly history – and reflecting on how

fortunate we all are to live in this country. Jan and I enjoy most
