Hello '59ers

Okay, okay, I have to confess I really graduated with the class of 1960, yet you all were so nice, you said I (and other of my classmates) were welcome! And, of course, I enjoyed seeing lots of you, including my cousin, Larry Owen and all the great '59 folks I knew through band and student council and other Northwest Classen activities.

Over the past 50 years, I have been a math teacher, an elementary school counselor, a systems analyst for Conoco and Travelers and I am now a psychologist, working for a prison with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.

I am grateful to be alive after a serious auto accident last year. Thanks to all my friends (including some of you from Northwest), lots of prayers and lots of help, I have been back to work for over a year.

I enjoyed seeing lots of you and hope to hear from you in the future! Also, I hope some of you will "crash" our 50th in June 2010!!
