Greetings
Fellow Classmates!! My goodness,
I simply cannot believe that we are going to be celebrating our 50th
high school reunion and I bet I am not alone in this over whelming
feeling! After
attending Jefferson Junior High and my sophomore year at Hickman,
I moved to Boonville and was graduated from Boonville High School.
Upon graduation, I attended the University of Missouri, received
my B.S. in English Education and my master’s degree in Library and
Informational Science. While
at Mizzou, I served as a dormitory personnel assistant, assistant head
resident, and my graduate year, head resident of Wolpers Hall.
I was very fortunate to have received the Missouri State Library
Association Scholarship which provided the monetary resources for my
master’s degree. Upon
graduating from MU, I moved to Cincinnati, OH and served as a media
specialist/ librarian in a number of public schools (K-12), reference
librarian at the University of Cincinnati, and a cataloger for the
Cincinnati Public Library system. Jim and I
were married in Cincinnati in 1979.
His practice of law took us to Missouri, to Indiana, and a return
to Ohio where he was appointed Director of Planned Giving at Capital
University. Our
daughter Megan was born in 1981.
She and her husband Michael have three children, Elijah, 8; Coko,
6; and Jude, 4. Our
daughter and family live in Gallup, New Mexico; however, there is some
talk of a possible move for them to Taos this summer. I retired two
years ago after serving as a media specialist/librarian for 43 years
(Yes, telling kids of all ages to stop talking and get busy!)
My husband is also retired and we find that we are busier now
then when we worked outside our home!
Our church and volunteering activities head our list of things to
do. In addition, we enjoy
visiting historical sites (especially Civil War battle fields),
researching our family’s history and trying to organize our family
pictures, and reading! Jim
has been transferring old LP’s to CD’s, and doing lots of sorting for
our future move to Columbia or possibly, Albuquerque, NM.
Jim also stays active in Civil War Roundtable and volunteering at
the Ohio Historical Society.
I have enjoyed learning to play the mountain dulcimer, knitting and
sewing for the grandchildren!
I feel old when I admit that we also have
enjoyed completing a few jigsaw puzzles!
We have
driven thousands of miles to visit our family as well as friends and
historical sites In fact, we
will be on our way to New Mexico following our time at the HHS reunion
in October! Our most unique
vacation was spent on a schooner in celebration of our 30th wedding
anniversary. For one
week, we sailed along the coast of Maine on the “Mary Day” never losing
sight of land! I look
forward to our 50th high school reunion and reuniting with the members
of the

STORY ABOUT DAVE HOLSINGER
AND MARY ANN Hi! This is a photo taken when Dave and
Mary Anne (can't remember just how she spells her name!)?) were dating
that summer long, long ago! Mary Anne and I became friends our freshmen
year at Mizzou when we both lived on the 2nd floor of Johnston Hall.
When summer was upon us, we decided to rent an apartment together as we
were both going to work on campus and not return to our respective
hometowns for that summer. I am not sure which one of us located our
apartment, but after moving in, I noticed that DAVE HOLSINGER lived
right next door! Amazing! How lucky could two young chicks get! We
knew there was only one of Dave; however, Dave had LOTS AND LOTS OF
FRIENDS who were generally shooting baskets with him in his driveway
(rather like Mary Anne and my side yard!). It wasn't long before I introduced
myself to Dave as a one-time Kewpie and then introduced Dave to Mary
Anne and the rest is history, so they say! Since I worked all night at
the Univ. of Missouri Medical Center, I was not on hand to chaperone or
even know how often the two were in each other's company! I do recall
one double date I shared with them to the St. Louis Zoo where we enjoyed
not only the animals, but a picnic lunch prepared by Mary Anne and me.
