Larry-

Thought you might serve as the keeper of a file on Judy and me since we're not able to make it big PHS 40th event. We were married when I was in graduate school (architecture) in Champaign-Urbana in '66. We moved for what was going to be a brief stint at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg Canada in '70. We had both kids there and moved to Minneapolis in '77. While there we watched Bobby Hull, I flew over the Arctic circle and built a lake cabin by hand. We've lived in Minneapolis ever since and truly enjoy city life with little commuting to work downtown. We have two children, a grandson and a daughter in law due this Christmas season. Judy loves being our grandson's day care center once or twice each week. We have been back to Peoria numerous times taking care of parents. These were always fast road trips, lots of "parenting". Believe it or not, we always looked around for but we seldom saw a high school face at the grocery store or wherever. Sorry we can't make the big event. Reading all the e-mails brings back memories and names lingering in the recesses of our minds. If you get to Minneapolis, e-mail ahead if you can or call. We'de love to hear from you.
