Worked as an Ironworker from 1965 to 1992 and got out while I still had a body left. Married in 1964 and divorced in 1972 . I remarried in 1996 , but it didn't last long enough to count . I have 1 daughter and 2 grandsons. I lived in Flordia for 8 years and California for 2 years . I went into the telecommunication business working mostly on milatary bases all over the U.S. and retired in 2001. Just kickin along , enjoying life , and doing whatever might strike my fancy that I'm still capable of wanting to do . No complaints however , and I like to think of myself as not being an old fart , but as merly having different priorities . I must be being a good boy because I haven't noticed any unusual fun lately. I look forward to seeing the folks at the picnic . Class reunions are a good thing and I always find them to be enjoyable.
Mary Louise Baumgarth - 2009-08-26

Spouse -- James Allen Igert, deceased
Name of School -- University of Missouri, Northern Michigan University
Profession -- Secondary Teacher, English

Daughter... Heather Louise Noggle, 37 Grandchildren -- James Raymond, 3 & Jack Michael, 1

Hickman Teachers Remembered --  At the very top of the list is Conrad Stawski, English IV.  I used many of his concepts the years that I taught English IV.  He treated us as young adults, challenged us to really desire to learn more, and expected quality from us.  He managed all of this and was just "fun" at the same time!

Kent Toalson and Helen Williams were two other most excellent teachers.  Creativity and caring concern while demanding our utmost were demonstrated by these two on a daily basis.  They were jewels.

Memorable songs -- Well, Ricky Nelson had a little ditty entitled "Hey, Hey, Hello, Mary Lou" or something equally cutesy, and I was greeted with this hourly, so it seems.  This was probably the reason that I chose to be addressed forever after as Mary Louise, my family name.

What I have been doing since my days at HHS -- I began my teaching career in Michigan, and as my husband was with the Federal Government, we traveled as his position required.  I think we moved 23 times in 31 years of marriage, and I have taught in numerous districts.  Our last move was to Springfield, Missouri, in 1984.  He loved the fishing at Tablerock and Bull Shoals, and we decided that this would be home.  Jim died in 2000.

I have taught high school English for three decades plus, my last at Willard High School, a suburb of Springfield.  I know that I found the positively best career for me!

I am retired now and in the process of writing a book about teaching.  I interviewed ninety teachers whom I respect; they are from 11 different states and two foreign countries.  I also have another historical fiction about my family book bouncing about in the hopper.

The last three years I have lived in North Palm Beach, Florida, more than in Missouri; it was a family matter.  That is now completed, and I am pleased not to be in the pink-turquoise-limegreen humidland!  Give me brick and oaks and seasons!  I can, however, slap up those hurricane panels in amazing speed for a senior citizen.

I volunteer much at my church and at our local food bank, teach senior citizens the basics of computers, and am learning to be lazy.

Memorable Moments at HHS -- As a student new to Columbia, the concept of wearing a Beanie was rather unique, and, as I soon discovered, a v-e-r-y serious tradition.  I can't remember the song I sang, but sing I did--and not by choice!

I was also selected as Miss Cheerful during my sojourn at HHS.  I still have the charm--the little metal one.  The other charming charm...not so much.

Plans for the future -- My daughter and her family have just purchased a home in Springfield.  They reside now in Webster Groves and will be moving here soon.  I shall continue to be GrandMother to these two little boys--without the four hour drive!  I also hope to keep on doing all of the other stuff!

Future reunions -- I am planning to attend our next reunion in 2010--I cannot believe that we have been out of high school for twenty years now!  :)

Attended the University of Missouri for a semester and then joined the U. S. Marine Corps.  Married Sherry Hiley (divorced in 1987) while on leave and moved to Twenty-Nine Palms, California.  Transferred overseas (Okinawa, Japan) and spent 13 months there.  Returned to states (Cherry Point, N.C.) for two years and then sent to Vietnam.  Spent a year in Vietnam and then returned to states and recruiting duty in Chicago, Illinois.  Spent two years there and then went back to Vietnam for another year.  Got out of the Marine Corps in 1970 and went to work for the Columbia Police Department.  I worked for the Columbia Police Department for nine months and then was accepted for employment with the Missouri State Highway Patrol.  I started the Academy May 1, 1971, in Jefferson City and we had the distinction of being the first class through the new training academy.  After completing training, I was assigned to Troop H, St. Joseph, MO, and assigned to Rock Port, MO.  Spent 9 years in Rock Port and then transferred back to Columbia where I worked for 14 years.  I was then assigned to General Headquarters in Jefferson City and then the Missouri Gaming Commission.  Retired from the Missouri State Highway Patrol September 1, 2001, with 30 years, 4 months of service.
Remarried in 1989 to Edna Arnold (U-High Graduate).  Have six children; Doug, Christie, Michelle, Jennifer, Wendy, and Keith.  Have thirteen grandchildren; Brandon, Amber, Kyle, Cory, Cadie, Kelcey, Blaine, Brianna, Austin, Tyler, Jozie, Casey, and Zane.

Two years ago my husband Phil and I retired to the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, (about 15 minutes north of Asheville).  Phil was with IBM for over 30 years, and during that time we lived in Missouri, Arizona, New Mexico, New Jersey and the last 18 years in Atlanta.  We have three grown sons...  Todd and his wife Catherine and granddaughter Ceci (18 months)live in Charlotte, NC where he is vice-president with Bank of America. Chris and his wife Katherine and new grandson Pepper (2 months) live in New York where Chris owns an Internet Advertising Firm in NYC.  Kenneth, our youngest is currently teaching at the University of Tennessee and pursuing his Ph D in Spanish Literature. We keep busy traveling, taking classes, and working in the yard.  I also do voice-overs for radio and TV advertisments, and have gotten the chance to return to my first love...  the theater. Phil does a lot of work with stained glass and wood working and recent!
ly took up basket making (I knew he would "crack" after 35 years with me!). We have not missed a reunion yet... and are looking forward to the next one.  If you are down our way, let us know... we would love for you to stop by....   JOANIE & PHIL
Marilyn Quell June 9, 2001

I graduated from MU in 1965, then moved with my husband to San Diego,where I couldnt find a teaching job so I worked as a bank teller.  Then my nusband was drafted, so we moved to Rhode Island, then White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.  We had two children, and when my   husbands tour of duty ended, we moved to Albuquerque.  We divorced, and I and the children moved to Los Alamos, NNew Mexico, where I worked at the National Labs in Laser Fusion research for several years.  The I returned to school at the Univ. of New Mexico to take undergraduate courses in psychology.  This turned out to be the right step, because I was offered admission to six of the seven graduate programs I had applied for.  I chose Florida Tech in Melbourne, Fl, and received my M.S. in 1983 and my Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1984.  I interned for one year at the University of Indiana in Pennsylvania, then was delighted to take my first clinical job in Georgia, where I worked for several years.  Th!
en I re-married in 1988 and moved to Florida, where I worked for about 10 years.  During this time I became increasingly ill from a mercury poisoning incident at the Lab, although this has only been diagnosed about a year ago.  I spent 10 years very ill and disabled, but at last through the help of a doctor trained in Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture, I am slowly regaining my health and hope to return to some kind of work within the next year.
    My children are successful adults, and my son has two  children.  During the periods when I've been well enough, I've made a hobby of watercolor and acrylic painting, and before I became ill, I played the bass fiddle in a bluegrass band for four years.  That was a real blast, and I hope to be able to return to playing the bass and the fiddle before long.
     Well, those are the bare bones facts.  I hope to hear about many of you soon.  In particular, Jane Raye, are you there?
     And thanks to Kay Baird - you got us started!
