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.

Comment:  When I was in school all I wanted was out.  When I finally did get out, I discovered it had all been a sham.  I had learned nothing of practical value because my inept teachers were obviously incapable of holding a real job.  Anyway I was done with profound pronouns and the petty tyranny of the band council and never looked back. 



I had been self sufficient since 14 and didn't live in my parent's house.  It was wonderful to be free of school and living at a time when cars had real engines, the girls were pretty, and the country was free.



I married my childhood sweetheart from Cheyenne and we have three great daughters.  We've done everything we wanted to do and a lot of things we never dared to even dream we could accomplish.  We traveled extensively in the US & Europe, lived on the Pacific beach at SanClemente, CA  and on Cape Cod beach near Plymouth, MA. We lived in the mountains and in the desert.  We have done the gamut of activities: Boating, flying, horses, cars, camping, motorcycles, and have  settled down now to traveling and restoring antique cars and tractors.



I retired in 1992 from a Nuclear Consultant position just north of NYC and moved back to Washington where we have kept a house since the 1970s.  That retirement lasted 12 years and we spent some of that time in Europe.  I have always been very good at designing and building things and finally I was tempted to go back to work sporadically, not for the money, but because of some neat projects. I plan to draw SS at 70 and perhaps retire for good.



I enjoy reading about the adventures of classmates. I have not kept in contact with anyone but some of you have done amazing things and had interesting lives.  I wish I would have known you better.
