Look out world here I come.  Graduated in 71 from HHS.  I joined the United States Air Force straight out of High School.  Became a Telecommunication Systems Specialist and Later Lateral cross trained into Automated Computer Systems Supervisor.  Worked for the USAF for 15 and half years.  Got out in December of 86.  Became a single parent of 4 boys.  My Job at that time was working at the Vet Center, handled records for veterans suffering from PTSD and other problems.
Went to the University of Nebraska at Omaha in Sept 89 graduated in December of 91 believe it or not with a 4 year degree (that always amazes me).  I was having so much fun going to college and enjoying classes did not realize I took so many credits and graduated so quickly.  I should of gone for a Masters instead of a Bachelors Degree.  I have been all over the World and seen most everything.  The only places I have not been is Alaska and Russia, the latter because I had such a high security clearance while serving in the USAF.  I enjoyed the Military and kind of miss it but such is life.  I graduated from college then went on to work for the University of Nebraska Medical Center in the IT dept.  Was a Manager in the MultiMedia Dept, I was responsible for maintaining software, equipment upgrades, system security which consisted in monitoring numerous colleges around the State of Nebraska.  Maintained computer systems for online learning with Multimedia in Mind.  Was the one Doctors called when they needed upgrades or problem resolution in auditoriums in which they taught. I have since moved to Los Lunas, New Mexico to live out the rest of my life.  Enjoying it very much.  I am Ministering to Single Parents and trying to get a Mentoring Program started with their children at my church.
Hope to get the Men Mentoring to the Boys and the Women mentoring to the Girls.
Well wish me luck, God is Awesome!!!!!!   Praying that you all will find inter piece with yourselves and be Obedient to the Lord.
Randall Davidson - December 2, 2008

I have been migrating north from Columbia since high school. I now live in Minneapolis. I suspect that I am headed for Winnepeg -- who knows? The thing I know is that I have been making connections with Kewpies at an accelerating pace since 2006. I was back in Columbia for my 35th reunion and it was lots of fun to walk around the neighborhoods where I grew up. The inner portion of the city is the same as it was in 1974 when we moved to Los Angeles. It's eery but strangely reassuring.

I've been working in the Twin Cities since I graduated from Cornell College in 1975. I am working at Augsburg College right now but have worked for Minnesota Public Radio, the University of Minnesota, the Minnesota Composers Forum, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.

There are few places on this earth as exciting as the Twin Cities. I am truly blessed to live here with so many wonderful music colleagues, family and friends. My wife, Merilee, is one of the three most powerful oboists in the Twin Cities. My son Ben has a band called Medical School Knife Fight -- and it is really, really loud. But he's a very talented young man -- it will be fun to watch his success unfold.

There are few things I regret in life, but I always regret losing touch with dear friends from Columbia. The classes of 1970-73 contain some of the classiest individuals I have ever known.

I recall one of them right now, particularly. His nickname at Hickman was "Doobie." I saw him the last time I was in Columbia. He is working at Stephens College now. We had a chance meeting as he was working his rounds and I was in a small office. We looked at each other and in 30 seconds we were in a great big bear hug.

I send that bear hug back to him now and to everyone else from David Henry Hickman High School. Kewpies Rule!

After graduating in 1971, went to "Beauty School" here in Columbia (just wasting time until I knew what I wanted to do.  Still don't know!).  Got married in July 1972 to Curt Russell (Class of 1969).  Have two daughters Jennifer (Class of 1994)is 26 and is married and has our first grandson Jacob.  Robin (Class of 1996) is 24 and is married and lives in Hermann.  I work at University Healthcare and Curt works at the Columbia Post Office. I started collecting kewpies back in the early 90's and has become a major obsession.  We like going to flea markets and antique stores....and I love going to auctions but don't get to go as much as I would like.  I discovered Ebay and am becoming a major kewpie buyer there!
