Morton High School Class of 1976 30th Reunion Dear Classmates, Every class reunion we have had so far has had a theme…except this one. The last Reunion’s theme was “Forever Young.” Forever is a very long time. That would imply that certainly after only 5 more years we would still be “young.” Then why did we not have a theme for our 30th reunion? Certainly NOT because we are getting old and forgetful, right? After talking to quite a few of the people who attended our 30th reunion, we can safely say that it was a resounding success. Scheduling this reunion during the Pumpkin Festival was a big hit with the out-of-town classmates, but caused some problems for the local classmates who regularly volunteer for various festival events and booths. There were a number of classmates who had never attended any of our reunions before this one. The comment that was common from all of them was that they were all amazed how everyone had “grown up” and there wasn’t any of that “clique-ishness” we all remember so well from high school days. Those of us who have attended most if not all of the reunions haven’t seen much of that in many years, so we were surprised by that! Another common comment was that nobody was bragging about how much money they made, how important they were, or anything else that would make the average person try to initiate the gag reflex. We all had a wonderful time seeing each other, joking around, updating one another about life’s journeys, and crying just a bit when we got the bits of bad news such as the passing of Laurie Merritt Carrico. But by and large, the time went far too quickly with not enough time to spend with everyone and catch up on everything. As usual, though, it was sad that we didn’t see more classmates who still live in or around Morton. Much of the chatter during the evening was regarding disappointment that so-and-so wasn’t there to share in the occasion. We are proud to say that we didn’t hear a single negative comment or gossip about anyone who wasn’t there, either. We all just hope that more of the classmates who are proud to be life-long residents of Morton (and of the greater Morton metropolitan area) will grace us with your presence at the 35th Reunion. We miss you guys! Last time around, the reunion committee asked for some new people to step forward to plan future reunions, and some of us took that step forward to meet the challenge. This committee was a wonderful mix of experience and new enthusiasm. We all worked hard to make this happen and can’t wait to start planning the 35th! One last thing…OK, two last things! We hope you don’t mind if we spam you from time to time, just so you don’t forget about us, and secondly, don’t forget to check the website for updates. Since the website is new this time around, we can’t say how often to check, but everyday would probably be too often…☺ You will always be able to give us updates to your address, phone numbers, email addresses, etc. by filling out the electronic sheet like you might have done for the reunion. It will really help the committee finding you to let you know about future reunions! If there is anything we can do until the next reunion, please “give us a shout,” or at least send an email!

A sad reality of time passage is the inevitable loss of our friends. This page is here in order to keep the memories of those friends with us. I’m sure if they were with us, they would much rather that we remember how they enriched our lives than dwell on the sorrow of losing them.

Kelcie (18), Kylie (15)

We lived in the Kansas City area (Overland Park) for the past seven years but just about a month ago moved to Lincoln, NE, where my husband purchased an electrical contracting business. My oldest daughter Kelcie graduated from high school in May and is attending the University of Iowa on a tennis scholarship. My other daughter Kylie is a freshman at Lincoln Southwest High School, where she is on the dance team. My life has pretty much revolved around their activities over the years. They grow up fast! In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis and traveling with my family. Sorry to miss the reunion! Life has been kind of crazy this year. Have a great time!

Got married and moved to Galesburg, Il from 79-89. Have lived in southeastern MN since. (5 blocks from the Mississippi). Went to I.C.C. for nursing and have worked in hospitals ever since. Currently work in recovery room. My "baby" is a jr. in college! My middle son is engaged (no wedding date yet...). My oldest has girlfriend and cat. I've had the same hobbies the last 15 yrs. Reading, biking, hiking, gardening. Enjoy cooking but hate to do dishes. Love garage and estate sales-collect old cameras. We generally skip a summer vacation and go to the Caribbean every Feb. with 4 or 5 other couples. Our 25th and my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary was the same year so we took a Alaskan cruise in July. (Which I highly recommend). I feel I've been very blessed with a loving family, good health and a great job. ARNETT, MARLA* 412 E. Edgewood Street Morton, IL 61550 (309) 266-9858 [email protected]

Married Frank Bauman, had 2 boys, moved to the Orlando area, divorced after 14 years. Married the love of my life, George Marshall, 13 years ago, inherited a beautiful daughter (his), moved to the Clearwater area (just 3 miles to the beach). All the kids are grown, out of the house and on their own! (thank God) We have 2 great Golden Retrievers. I just got my first Harley! George has been riding for 35 years so I was always the "passenger"...no more though! George is from Pennsylvania so every year we go up there, try to get to Cedar Point (OH) to ride. We have really become "home bodies" and very "anti-social" in our OLD AGE. We ride and hang out at the house...not too exciting for most but perfect for us. We'll make great retired people...one of these days. BARTON, JOHN* 3124 Ridgeway Rd. Kettering, OH 45429 (937) 294-0893 [email protected] [email protected] Children: Employer:

It's been a fun 30 years! I got married and graduated from Bradley in 1978 (believe it or not), lived in Lesotho, Africa from 1980 to 1983, briefly stopped in Morton then lived north of Bloomington in Flanagan 1984-1992. We lived in Champaign for 16 months then in Houston from 1994-2000. Y2K found us moving back to Champaign where we hope to stay for a while! I've been raising our 4 kids, piano teaching, volunteering at church and school, leading Moms in Touch groups, substitute teaching, and doing a bit of writing. I started back to school in January, working on my Masters in Christian Education to broaden my understanding of the Bible as well. BIRKNER, MICHELLE 1714 W.

Jeremy (24), Shaun (20) Green Acres Farm/Innovative Events – Owner

Since it would take way too much typing (& brain cells) to recall all of the past 30 (!) years, I'll go back to 1989 when I had a wonderful opportunity to move to Orlando, FL and do planning & development for Universal & Nickelodeon studios. After the opening, I moved on to PBG&S as a Sr. Admin. Mgr. over their Tampa, West Palm & Orlando offices. I worked on several water resource & hydrogeology projects throughout the state and spent a lot of time over a two year period in Manhattan on a large storm water project. In 1997, I moved back to good ol' Illinois to give my boys the Midwest values and time with their grandparents - both of which seemed lacking in Orlando. They both went on to graduate from MHS! The saying "it's in your own backyard" proved too true as I reconnected with an old friend from back in the day - Kenneth Baum. We were married on August 4, 1999 on Sapphire Mountain in Breckenridge, CO. We bought a home in Whispering Oaks in Groveland - just houses away from the home I lived in during my Jr. & Sr. years. Kenneth & I still make our annual trip to Siesta Key, FL for the month of March and just love it there! We also enjoy road trips to NASCAR races & do a lot of entertaining at our home. I've spent the last 7 years creating events & doing events thru my event management company, Innovative Events. I LOVE to cook & cater and frequently handle that for my friends. I bought the former Uhlman Pumpkin Farm & Corn Maze in 2005 and renamed it Green Acres Farm. I volunteer with the Morton Chamber & have chaired the Merchant Tent the last 5 years. My best friend owns a day spa on Meadows in East Peoria & we've just added a tea room. It's only open for group reservations until after the farm closes and then we will be open for the holidays & we'll add party trays & pies for carry-out. We're going to be super busy with Pumpkin Fest & the farm but hope to get a chance here and there to see everyone this weekend! CALI, CINDY* 1215 Tazewood Rd. Eureka, IL 61530 (309) 467-4688

Lillyan (8), Aiden (6) self

Moved to Los Angeles in 1978. Started working in television at ABC in 84. Worked (too much) in the motion graphics design business. Slowed the pace down a bit in 1996 and found a great wife and had two great kids! Shifted to film visual effects (matte painting and concept art) in 2001. This allowed me to work from home so we moved to the Northwest in 2003 (just across from Seattle on an island in the Puget Sound). Now we're busy raising kids, enjoying the outdoors, playing guitar and mandolin at church, and of course, working to pay for it all. Wish I could be there for the reunion (especially the Pumpkin Festival, haven't been to that since 1977!). Have fun!

My current position with Braden has been an incredible journey; lots of work and long hours, but also lots of fun backstage with the artists and traveling to book the shows.

We've lived in and around northern Illinois for over 20 years. I work in Monroe, Wisconsin as a Retirement Plan Administrator and the older I get, I'm beginning to appreciate the 401(K) plan I have! I've done a lot of traveling for my job and have been lucky enough to take some great vacations with my family. I am blessed that my kids are great kids and actually enjoy hanging out with Al and I. Our oldest daughter is an Illinois State graduate now living in Chicago, and our youngest is a sophomore at University of WisconsinWhitewater. Alan and I have raised Labrador Retrievers for years and travel with them to field trials around the country. I've helped him train Labs for 25 years and it's very satisfying to see all of the hard work we put into a dog pay off at a trial with a win. We are planning on making this a full time commitment when we retire. I am truly grateful for all of the blessings in my life. Looking forward to seeing old friends at the reunion! DEVAN, KIM* 317 S.

We lived in the Chicago area for 16 yrs before moving to SD, when my husband changed career paths. I spent 10 yrs as a NICU nurse eventually returning to graduate school to become a school nurse, which were great hours while raising a child! After moving to SD, I directed the health services at a local college before taking a position in hospital management. I recently resigned that position to be able to spend more time with my father who passed away this past summer after a long battle with cancer. I feel extremely blessed to have had the wonderful parents I did and to have been raised in a great community like Morton!

Harry (6), Oscar (2), Adi (1) The Mighty Boeing Company – Director,Portfolio Risk Management.

Note: We received two bios from Terry. This one is the first: After the operation, which really changed my life, I worked on the Alaska pipeline and went into fishing on the Bearing Sea. I made my fortune by inventing Post-It notes using different colors than canary yellow, but lost it when I was sued by 3M. Currently, I juggle for a living in the Pike Street Market in Seattle. And this one is the second...You pick which one you would like to believe ☺ - ed. After graduating I worked a number of jobs and went to school. I received a BA in mathematics from the University of Chicago and a MS in applied math from Northwestern (with honors) where I was enrolled in the Ph.D. program. Who would have guessed after almost failing Wayne Wector's algebra class (was it me or was it Wayne soft voice late in the afternoon....). I also received my MBA from London Business School. I left the Ph.D. program to work for Swiss Bank Corp in Chicago where I was VP of quantitative analysis. Next,I took a job with GE Capital in NY in the early 90's and 3 years later moved to London where I was Managing Director for interest rate trading for Bank of America. I moved to a director position with ING Bank (London)where I traded emerging market debt and they moved back to NY in 1998 just after marrying Natalie Frutig, who I met while she was a student at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2000 my life was greatly improved by the arrival of Harry, my 1st son. In 2001 I began consulting for Citibank's risk management group and also did some work for Bank of America's investment bank. On the morning of Sep 11th I was supposed to be at WTC 1, but to be able to sleep late, I rescheduled to the late afternoon of the 10th (serendipity at work, how could I know that not being a morning person would be an asset someday). We heard the 1st plane pass over our house before hitting the WTC, which was about a mile south. The next day the winds changed to out of the south and the acrid smell was unberable and we evacuated to Natalie's family in upstate NY as soon as the trains started working again. Two days after we returned to NY Boeing offered me a position in Chicago and I didn't think twice. We moved to Evanston and my son Oscar was born in 2004. We almost made it to a Pumpkin Festival, but not quite. Natalie really wants to see one.... In 2005 Boeing moved me to Seattle to head the deal analysis for their leasing portfolio. My beautiful daughter Adi was born here last year. We have a beautiful view of lake Washington and Mt Rainier & Mt Baker. It is exceptionally beautiful in the summer but December through February are pretty hard to take between the darkness and the rain. I'd take a cold clear Illinois day to a dark, overcast month of rain anytime.

Our oldest daughter, Casey, has a passion for the beasts and competed in performance classes throughout Illinois. However, at Bradley University there is no room for horses. Between volleyball games, practice and school work, our younger daughter, Hope, collects friends, whom we feed and entertain in the evenings; another blessing. Logan, the 6 year old, is a cheerleader and attention grabber for all the above. Andrea and I have taken the family to Mexico twice and ourselves to Hawaii for a week. Blessings to you all.

(Lori)

Adam (21) Technical Publication Associates, Inc. – Co-Founder/Technical Writer

I have had a diverse work background since high school. Shortly after HS I started work at Caterpillar which led to a four year machine repair apprentice course. Upon completion, they laid me of indefinitely. I then had a variety of jobs which included, a woodworking business called the Wooden Nichol, being a janitor at a church, taking photographs for the Peoria Area Reality Assoc, canning pumpkins for Libby’s, and bailing hay. Realizing after this three year period what I did not want to do, I took a job with a local firm doing technical writing. After 5 years, they decided to get out of the technical writing business, so I and two others started Technical Publication Associates, Inc in 1990. In September 2004 I became sole owner of the business. I have been happily married now for 26 years and our son Adam is 21. Lori was a retiree at the ripe old age of 48 from Caterpillar. She now enjoys her time of being able to shop throughout the day, but in reality she has come to work for me. Adam is currently attending Johnson and Wales University pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Culinary Arts. He had the opportunity to visit India this summer, and in fact is there as I write this. I also had an extended trip this summer to Alaska, which is indescribable. Probably the most life-changing event for me has been accepting Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. I was as far from God as anyone can be in high school, but in 1993 that all changed for Lori and I. We have been faithfully serving God in several churches throughout the area, and I am now serving in church leadership at our current church of CrossPoint in East Peoria.

After graduating from the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS, with a degree in environmental studies, I went to work for the U.S. EPA in Kansas City. I lived in Lawrence until 1992, then bought a house on 5 acres on the outskirts of the Kansas City metro. In 2001, I took a year of leave from the EPA and moved to Davis, CA. Out there I worked for the California Wilderness Coalition, a small but mighty non-profit, where I got to combine two of my areas of interest - politics and the environment. I came back to Kansas City in 2002, returned to EPA, and prepared to sell my house in the country. In 2003, I moved into a pleasant neighborhood in KC and took up flower gardening for the first time in my life. Along with digging in the dirt, I enjoy combining two of my favorite activities – eating and spending time with friends. I never married or had children, but I do live with two cats and am in a long term relationship with a very nice man.

Promontory Interfinancial Network – Vice President of Client Services

I graduated from Drury College with a BA in Business Administration. While I spent four years there, I would have to say my better education came from spending three weeks in South Africa doing volunteer work shortly after apartheid was lifted. I learned so about how much we take for granted and how much injustice there is in the world. After trying out several different jobs out of college, I worked at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) as a national bank examiner for 19 years. I started in Dallas, transferred to NYC, then to headquarters in Washington, DC where I ended as Deputy Chief of Staff. I then left to join Promontory Interfinancial Network, where I head up the Client Services area. This start-up company was founded by three former top regulators (including my former boss). It has been exciting building a new company which now has almost 100 employees and over 1,300 banks in its network. Our company offers its clients Certificates of Depository Account Registry Service®, a service banks can use to offer customers up to $25 million in FDIC insurance. I head to Delaware on Fridays where I work from home and spend the weekends at the beach hanging out with friends. I also enjoy plays, movies, reading, eating out, traveling throughout both the US and the world, and am active in the Episcopal church. Although I enjoy my work at Promontory, I imagine the day when I can retire to the Delaware shore and commit myself fully to advocating for women’s and gay rights, as well as assisting with the hungry and homeless.

Various musical projects. Recorded two albums. My wife and I currently pastor an Assembly of God church here in San Antonio (that keeps us busy!) Hobbies are still sports. Mostly basketball (My defense has greatly improved because although I'm still the same height as in H.S., I can now fill the entire lane all by myself!) I also still sing the National Anthem for the "2 Time, World Champion" San Antonio Spurs. ROCKE, TONIE 560 State Highway #785 Mt. Horeb, WI 53572

Parenting has been my greatest joy and hardest job!! We are a true north woods family and spend countless hours in ice rinks!! I am even the scorekeeper for the high school hockey games! All 3 kids played or play hockey. I'm a relatively recent "single mom" which has been a challenge but reminded me how blessed I am with such a strong support system. This change also motivated me into pursuing an additional Master's Degree which will enable me to get a job as a principal or curriculum director.

Getting in touch, again, with ol' friends and former classmates, which one does not exclude the other and honored; Working steadily and re-evaluating goals and life's idiocyncracies(sp). Finally finished a high school goal, Graduated ISU with Business Administration Bachelor's of Science degree in 1994., changed from C.P.A./Acct. goal, and looking forward to new positive acquisitions of new goals and accomplishments...which I take as I can get them and positively striving for; knowing that sometimes less is more in my case. Other than working on outside projects around the house I live in and other hobbies, living each day as it arrives each sun-up and appreciating the sun-sets from time to time. I am researching/educating myself what I want to know when I am able, seeking new goals for myself as an approaching fifty-something, and just focusing, forwarding, and moving on and appreciating the micro/macro of life when I am able. Hope everyone has a great present and future and a terrific reunion!!!!!!!!! SIPES, BRENDA 1336 S. 7th Pekin, IL 61554 (309) 925-5883
