I like this site. I have been married for 40 years in October. I left BTHS to Join the Navy in 1963.

Hi All,

Hi everyone!!!!!!!!!
Divorced after 20 years of marriage. Married to my second husband for thirteen years. Three children( two boys and one girl) from my first marriage and three step-children(two girls and one boy). One beautiful two year old granddaughter!

Hi to all!!!

I was married for 14 years. Divorced in 1981 and never married again. I have two sons and one granddaughter that is ten. She is the apple of my eye. We just got back from Disney World in July. It was a blast. Grandchildren are the best-spoil them and send them home!!!!

I moved from Belleville in 1974 to Tucson, Arizona. After two years in Tucson I returned to Springfield, Missouri where I earned my B.S. in Psychology at SMSU. From SMSU I moved to Columbia for 18 months to earn my M.A. in Counseling Psychology. I have been working at Forest Counseling Center since 1992. I enjoy working with families and individuals. I married William "Jim" Lutz in 2000 and we have a ranch with cattle and six horses. (Judy Gildig)

I am married to a beautiful lady. Kathy and I have been married for almost 14 years. She is originally from St. Louis. This is the second marriage for both of us. I have two wonderful sons. Chris is 32 and John is 28. They are both firefighter/paramedics in the St.Louis area. I also have a step son. Jason is 29 and work as a cumputer guru in San Fransisco. We have three happy grand children. Tyler is 6, Nathan will be 1 and Ainsley is 5 months old.I've worked for the Illinois Department of Transportation for 35 years and hope to retire in another 10 or 15 years. Life is good the second tiome around and I treasure each day that Kathy and I have together and also I treasure my family. We live six blocks from BTHS so I am often reminded of the great four years that I spent there. Reminising does wonders for the attitude. I hope that all of you get a chance now and then to reminise about those great years we spent there.

 My wife was and still is, an Undderwriter for an insurance company. I owned an insurance agency in Oceanside, CA and she was an underwriter for a company with whom we transacted business.

My Pets
We have 2 dogs. One, Amber, is a mix of Lab and Chou. Our second, Katie, is a pure bred Sharpie.

My Kids
My oldest is 27 and is a graduate of Louisiana State University. I lives and works in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Our middle boy is 23 and is a cadet at the California Maritime Academy. Our youngest, my step-son, is 15 and a straight "A", high school student. We are proud of EACH.

I have 2 daughters, Shelley and
Kimberly. Shelley is married to her college sweetheart and has two boys,
Braedan and Toby. She is a
dancer/choreographer. Her husband Lee is a graphic artist.
Kimberly is a hairdresser, married to Tony, mother of Ezra and Jerzie. Tony is in construction.
I worked in the medical field for 25 years as a back office assistant and a transcriptionist. I started my own business 19 years ago and now custom design and manufacture costumes for competition dancers. I specialize in Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Lyrical and Modern dance. I can't imagine doing anything else, but then I can't imagine anything more stressful. Medicine was easier than dealing with parents.

How I met my spouse: I responded to an ad in a Singles Magazine in 1998. My Pets: We have 3 cats: a 17 yr old Tuxedo w/yellow eyes, a 6 yr old very lightly white and tiger striped w/blue eyes, and a 1 yr old gray w/green eyes. My Kids: I have two daughters, and each has two boys!
My Job: I have been an instructor on armored vehicles (Abrams M1 series tanks, M93A1 Fox Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Recon wheeled vehicle, etc>) for the last 10 years.

I have two grown children, Denise and Dennis. Both of my kids are married and have children of their own. Denise has two boys and a girl and lives in Florida. Dennis has a girl and a boy and lives in Missouri. I get to see Dennis often, but only see Denise a couple of times a year. My family is all doing well and I look forward to seeing all my fellow classmates at the next reunion. At our 20 year class reunion, I won the prize for being the youngest grandmother. But it sure is a pleasure having grandchildren. Write me and let me know what's going on.

After many years I have finally came full circle and back to Fairview. In October 03 I was married to a wonderful man, Pete Rapp and we look forward to many happy years together. I am an insurance agent, wife, mother & grandmother of 8. I will be joining Pete in his hobby of stockcars this year as he will have a car hopefully racing for the first time in several years. I look forward to attending and helping to plan the next class reunion. Take care & hope to see my old friends soon. JO

I married Gene straight out of high school. We met at school.

When my husband in ST. Louis died, I moved to Flordia and bought me a home. I met my new husband in my front year. We have been married for three years now. We have a business of our own. We are are beekeepers and we have about 150 hives. My Kids: I have two daughters. Dianne is 32 and Shawn is 28. I have three grandaughters and four grandsons. Dianne lives in Ill and Shawn lives in TX.

What a great life I have had. I've been married to my wonderful husband Ron for longer than either of us wants to admit. We have one adult son and an amazing 5 year old grandson. For many years I worked as a public school speech therapist, while Ron owned and managed several bowling centers in the area. Fifteen years ago we started our own home-based business and have been working together as a team since then. Our favorite leisure activities are cruising and cheering on the Rams. Hope to see you all at the reunion.

Donna Becker Zink, 1965 Notre Dame graduate, and I have been married for 39 years by June of 2005. We were so young when we got married after completing one year at Belleville Junior College. Although we have traveled to the 48 lower states, we have been locals all of our lives. We have three children who have given us six grandchildren. Debra Wolf has two daughters, 12 and 10. Dee Ann Haar has a daughter, 7, and a son, 1. Dan Zink has two sons, 9 and 4. Donna and I are happy we married so young as we now have plenty of somewhat still youthful energy to enjoy all six of them. They all live locally!
