The 50 year celebration for Niles West was fun. There were over 400 people there from all the classes and we found several old friends there. I ran into Bob Zender's sister and she told me Bob is working for Merrill Lynch in Chicago. I will call him today. I will also call Peter Mueller in San Diego. More to follow. Our class was represented by Rod Bartels, Ron Hauser, Dick Rehwaldt, Marshall Claassen, Walt Olson, Bruce Mau and me. It was loud at the dinner with all of the chatter buzzing and the "The Buckinghams" causing me to lose my voice. The next day we met at my house for a BBQ and Bob Feinberg also came. We broke out the yearbook and laughed at seeing ourselves as kids.
I plan on working a few more years since my 401K turned into a 301K. I really don't mind since I enjoy the work (I build plastic injection molds for the plumbing parts industry) and my co-workers are fun to be around. Dolores, my wife, works for Trustmark Insurance as a case manager. I work out every other day walking to Bally's, weight lifting and then walking back managing to stop at Starbucks for a Frapacino. managing my shape has become more and more difficult as I age. Having an addiction to peanut donuts doesn't help.
Keep looking for missing classmates on the directory. Keith
