Profiles and Bios

 
If you are a member of the 1962 graduating class, or would have been if you had stayed at Wheat Ridge High, we would really like you to create a profile and tell something about yourself. You can always update your profile with current information. Your address, phone number and email address are not visible to anyone other than yourself and the website administrator. You can contact other Classmates through the 'Send This Person a Message' link below their profile.

This page has a 'Where Are They Now' button which, when clicked, displays a map of the cities and states where registered classmates live. You might be living near someone and not know it!

Check out the 'Sort' and 'Search' functions. The more classmates that register, the more handy these features will become.

Your registration helps attract other classmates to the site. The effectiveness of the website is a direct correlation to the number of classmates who register. Registering also enables you to post to the Message Board.

My major at CU was music and I am blessed to still be playing in a small flute ensemble in Houston Texas just for fun. My working life was in a different area-propery managemant. These skills were learned during my first marriage of 25 years. During my single years, I became a property manger who had the freedom to transfer to many different properties in different states. It was an interesting job. 10 years ago, my now husband, Frank and I were married. We enjoy church work and traveling. Together we have 4 children and 7 grandchildren.

After high school, I worked a year at Mtn Bell to save enough money to go to CSU.  Did that, and after three weeks, decided it was not for me.  Worked for U.S. Forest Service two years, followed by two years with United Air Lines (flight attendant).  Then on to Ball Aerospace (secretary) where I met Dick.  We married and I  "retired" very early to stay home to enjoy our two children which I found to be the hardest but most rewarding job of all.  Now enjoying grandkids, gardening, golf, bible study, and travel.  I have been on two of my husband's mission trips to northern Thailand, where he, with others, has built schools, churches and a medical clinic for the hill tribes.  We have been blessed!
