I worked from 1978 (2 weeks after graduation day!) until 1999 in local St. Louis Hospitals (John Cochran, Barnes, Mallinkrodt, Incarnate Word) then moved to Cape Girardeau and did CAT scan/diagnostic radiology at Southeast Missouri Hospital. In 1999 I started working as an "Independent Contractor" which is a "travel" temp worker and worked 16 assignments across the U.S. each lasting from 15 weeks up to 6 months. I worked/lived in Minneapolis, Colorado, Shreveport, North Carolina, Myrtle Beach, Seattle, Providence, Biloxi, Boston, and Fairbanks, Alaska.

DeVergilio (Samuels), Roxanne - I married for the first time in 2003. Scott is great and it was worth the wait! He is a musician and songwriter in his spare time and we have a lot in common such as the love of rock-n-roll and the fact that we are both mid-westerners (he's from Chicago). Scott has two children from his first marriage; Diana 20 and Marc 15. We started a business together in March 2005. ComForcare Senior Services. We employ caregivers providing non-medical home care to seniors and disabled persons in the comfort of their homes. It is going well, but is very hard work. I always have so much fun at our class reunions: My face usually hurts from smiling by the end of the night! I was disappointed that I could not make it to this one, but I am looking forward to reading all of the bio's and seeing all of the pictures that were taken.

Gates (Krull), Terri - I'm known as an old timer at KETC Channel 9 because I've been there for over 20 years. One of the nice things about my job is that every so often a former LHS teracher will send in his/her membership renewal along with a note for me. (Mr. Conway's favorite show is America's Test Kitchen). Siince our last reunion, I got married making me perhaps the oldest first-time bride. We don't have children, but enjoy spoiling our 80 lb. lab mix.

I have been in the home building/remodeling business with my father and started my own in 1990 (J & D Homes, Inc.) and live about 40 miles south of Houston in Rosenberg, Texas in the country on some acreage. Donna and I have been married now for 24 years with one son: Shane 15. We attend First Baptist Church of Richmond where I am a Deacon and sing with a southern gospel quartet and soloist (Yes, I am clean, saved, and forgiven. Praise be to God!). I was diagnosed with MS in 1997 and was told that I've had it since the mid 70's, so I'm a little slower with a little swagger in my walk. My family all moved to Texas and Donna's parents have both died, as has my father. So I haven't been back to St. Louis in years.

Jackson (Jaeger), Christy - I still live in the area as the Manager of Continuing Education at St. Louis Community College. My husband Paul came with two children: Christopher & Nicole.

Kaiser Jr., Max - Executive Director of Kaiser Liturgical Arts Studio and Design & Memorialization Manager of Pohl & King Monument Co. Max's interest in Ecclesiastical and Public Arts also extends to historic preservation, restoration, and urban redevelopment, as well as the design and fabrication of stained glass windows in traditional and modern styles, as well as ecclesiatical and architectural fixtures in metal, stone, and wood. His services in the expert restoration and renovation of historic church buildings, houses of worship, and cemeteries is nationally recognized by Partners for Sacred Places (he is an advisory board member), the Landmarks Association of St. Louis (he is a member of the Historic Church Preservation Board), and national arts and monumentalist associations.

Karl, Kevin - My last St. Louis residence was actually in Sunset Hills behind Growler's Pub (where everyone met?). Leaving St. Louis in the fall of 1998 I followed the trail west to an area called Steamboat, Nevada. It's beautiful mountain/high desert country located between Reno and Lake Tahoe along the Sierra-Nevada front range. I worked for a northern Nevada company on a one year contract in the dysfunctional world of slot machine design. I then tele-commuted for 2 competitors located in Chicago and Scottsdale, Az. While working from home certainly makes for a rather obscure existence, I still managed to co-produce the joy of my life, daughter Kenzie, in May of 2002. Having never been married you might ask "How did it happen?"...go ahead, my mother did. Well, if those isolated conditions tend to perpetuate certain human instincts, then I suppose comparing my mating ritual to a feral cat running loose at the Purina Pedigree Show COULD draw some interesting parallels. I left my cushy job in the beginning of 2004 so I could dedicate my time to Kenzie. We took a big financial hit with all of the trimmings, but you just can't replace those moments with anything. Now we're back on track in the practice of shameless self promotion. Freelancing from the home studio, offering advertising, marketing, and creative services to a variety of businesses and agencies. Are also having decent success marketing my personal work as fine art Giclees. Kenzie, myself (still single) and our 2 cattle dogs are pretty happy campers. www.kevinkarlstudio.com

Worked in banking from 1978-1992, primarily in the Trust/Investment Division. In 1992 I changed careers and began working in Property Administration for a property management company that manages commercial properties. I am still with the same company today. From 2002-2003, I lost about 100 lbs. In March of 2004 I had a brain tumor removed. In October 2004 I began chemotherapy and completed it in September 2005. (I worked the entire time and took no sick days!). Today, the brain tumor is gone and my husband and I are living a healthy, happy, fulfilled life in Tulsa, Ok. My son graduated from college this year! I am looking forward to seeing everyone and catching up on the past 30 years.

Keller (Oyape), Elise - I have been married to Gary since Aug. 11, 1997. My daughter Alanna is now 26 and finally has her own place! My grandson just turned 5 on Aug. 9th and will be starting kindergarten in less than 2 weeks. He has been the joy of our lives, but I am ready for a break! I'm doing hair part time and it feels like a vacation when I go to work! I met Gary when I moved to San Diego in 1992 and we have lived here since. Most of his family is in Hawaii, so of course we go whenever we can. It is more than a vacation spot, it is Paradise to me. My mom has been living with us for over a year and my dad still lives in South County. I am in a daily process of simplifying my life so I can enjoy it.

Mizerany, Vince - From 76-81 I held a variety of jobs, working for my dad, worked at a car wash, various gas stations, a truck driver, and an assembler. During this time I went to adult classes at South County Tech for auto mechanics. On 06/21/81 (my "23rd" birthday) I got a job at Banner Tire as a Jr. Mechanic. In the fall of '83 I started my own business renting out video games to bars and pubs. I did this at night while working for Banner during the day. I was doing very well at this time working my way up to a Journeyman Mechanic at Banner until I got laid off on 08/05/87. Banner folded a month later. I took a job at a gas station again. It's now January 1988 and Banner Tire is dead and my video game business is dying. So I went to school full time at Basic Institute of Technology for electronics while surviving on my savings and the video games. I graduated 06/22/89 with a associated degree, and got a job at Mirex Corp. on 07/24/89 as a field copy machine tech. I ran into a few of my fellow graduates at some offices I went to. After 10 years of driving 100 miles a day in my own car, and never eating lunch, and going into bad neighborhoods I asked to be transferred into the shop as a shop tech. By this time Mirex had changed its name to IKON Office Solutions, and I was transferred to the shop on 11/16/99 and was given a raise. I've been a shop tech since. I like having the machines come to me instead of me going to them. I never got married and probably never will. I like my job and I am very happy with life. All I want to do now for the future is to keep saving and investing my money so I can retire as early as possible.

I have worked at Barnes Special Nursery, Incarnate Word ICU, Deaconess Post Partum, and St. Mary's Rehab before joining a company that developed a Medical Records Software Program.

I am currently a project manager for a drilled pier foundation company installing foundations for large heavy structures. You can't imagine my lack of excitement when I was transferred to Birmingham, Al. We were pleasantly surpised and decided to stay.

It has been great to hear from everyone and I am looking forward to seeing you at the next reunion.

This bi-patriotism, bringing Beths' parents to Arlington to save them from blindness, and inter-culteral conflicts have caused a marital seperation.

Ulmer (Scott), Dana - After 13 years in lovely Fenton our family moved "back home" a few years ago so our 3 younger sons could attend and graduate from Lindbergh High School!
