Classmates

Please sign up. This section is fun for all. You can search for a particular classmate and sort by Date of Signup to see new additions or Latest Edit to see revisions to earlier postings. 

 

Due to privacy concerns, we have elected not to provide a link to a file of classmate contact information as we did after our 40th reunion. But one of the cool features of this website is the ability to connect with fellow classmates—assuming the necessary information is posted and kept up-to-date.

 

How to be found. To opt in to be found by classmates, you need to post or update a profile in the Classmates section, including name, current city, state, and email. It isn't necessary to answer any other question, like street address, occupation, marital status, hobbies, or children or to include comments—though your fellow classmates will be interested in this information. Your email address will be "blinded," and classmates can use the Send a Message link within each profile without learning your email address. They can also use the Where Are They Now feature to see a geographic distribution of class members.

 

If you've provided a profile in the past, sign in to your profile to see if we have an up-to-date email address and physical location for you. There is a username and password recovery feature if you've forgotten your log in information. 

 

How to find classmates. Using the Send a Message feature is the best way to find Class of 1967 members. For those classmates who haven't posted a profile, you may use the Contact Us form to request that we pass along your inquiry. However, you will not receive a response if the email address we have is outdated.

 

Even if you do not choose to post a profile on the website, the database that class reunion planners maintain must have a current email address in order to inform you of possible future events. If you change your email address, use the Contact Us link to let us know.

Occupation: artist/community activist
Comment: Update: I am now amicably divorced but still living in my little coastal Oregon community.  Still very involved in community - also paint and write.  Have 2 lovely preschool granddaughters. Website: lanedemoll.com



2007: I have lived in a house we built overlooking the ocean in a small community on the north Oregon Coast since 1977, with my partner of 35 years, Tom Bender. He’s an architect and writer here. For some reason we actually got married in 1995 when our two sons were teenagers. Now Skye (28) does data visualization software design in San Francisco where he plays in an activist marching band. Morgan (25) is an Americorps Volunteer teaching in an Outdoor High School in Eugene, Oregon. Tom and I share a passion for bringing alive our longtime vision of sustainable community, first developed when we were part of a group editing an alternative magazine called Rain in Portland in the 70’s. In 1982, with a group of parents, we helped start a small alternative elementary school for our kids, virtually a one-room school house, and I taught there for 12 years. It is still going strong, now with some second generation kids. Then after a year off, I helped take over and run the town dump (how’s that for glamour?!), turning it into an innovative recycling/reuse center (Google: Cartm Recycling). Next Tom and I helped set up a local conservancy land trust (Google: Lower Nehalem Community Trust) and for the past two years have been involved in setting up a housing trust (Google: NeahCasa). I enjoy the starting up/fundraising process but tend to move on when it gets time for personnel policies and the like. Life is never dull. In 1995 – on the verge of menopause – I took up painting what I call “inner landscapes” as a self-discovery process. I’ve since had several shows – mostly self-produced - and am now working on a website which should get up in the next couple of weeks. Good timing! I also do a lot of writing and some of that will be going up on the site as well. I use as my modus an Emile Zola quote: “If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you, ‘I am here to live out loud.’” Last spring I spent 6 weeks in Rose Valley helping my two local sisters move my folks, now 82, into White Horse Village in Newtown Square – my mom into the dementia unit with Alzheimer’s. We cleared out and sold the house my Dad built the year I was born, so, sadly, the Octagon (new our senior year at NP) is no longer in the family or I would invite you all over. But in the process I found my old Girl Scout uniform, prom dresses, my NPHS diploma, and copies of Web. So with that fresh in my mind, I look forward to touching bases with you all.

Occupation: retired
Comment: I retired 5-1-05 due to health problems after working 38 years in the lab at CCMC. I am a cancer survivor -- after being told I was terminal I was determined I would beat it and I did. BUt the effects of my treatmenst caused more problems, and there are days when I wonder if it was all worth it. I can't attend the reunion due to a family wedding out of state, but have a great time, and hopefully I will see everyone at the next one. I don't have email, but please feel free to contact me using the information on the Class List.
What are your plans for retirement?: Already retired.

Occupation: real estate developer
Comment: After graduating from Georgia Tech as an architect I knew that was not my calling. I went back to business school and became a real estate developer in Atlanta for 20 years. I moved to London, England because of my wife's job and came back to Atlanta two years later because of divorce. My two children stayed on in London with their mother for another three years but when my son finished high school in London he went to college at Emory in Atlanta, 5 minutes from my house. We had dinner once a week for 4 years, a real gift for me. My daughter is in her second year of college now. I have been fortunate to travel in Europe and Central and South America with friends over the last 10 years, sometimes to ski, mostly with friends or on solo trips. I look forward to seeing old friends in May
Grandchildren: none
Hobbies: rolllerblade skating, skiing, travel
What are your plans for retirement?: After starting a new company in 2005 I can't ever imagine retiring. I want to be a posterboy for late bloomers

Occupation: Technical writer and editor
Comment: Thanks to all the organizers of the reunion whose persistence in tracking us down and work promise a wonderful evening. I am looking forward to seeing everyone.
I work in a rather mundane job now and am focused on getting my daughter Gabriela into and through college. She is 17. During my marriage I had two stepsons living with us and one of them now has three children. He is a captain in the Loudoun County Fire and Rescue, and my daughter is following in his footsteps in becoming an Emergency Medical Technician. She wants to train as a nurse after she goes to a 4-year liberal arts college.
Grandchildren: 3
Hobbies: I like to sew and cook. I read philosophy in bouts, literature, and history. I love studying other cultures through their literature. For the last ten years I have been working with African friends to try to end the war in Northern Uganda, which has created a humanitarian catastrophe there since 1994.
What are your plans for retirement?: When I am ever able to retire (sigh), I would like to write what I want to write full-time.

Marital status: Married
Children: 4
Occupation: R.N., Retired
Comment: As I think back over these forty years, I realize I have been living backwards. For the first thirty-four of them, I did a great deal of travelling. I lived in San Francisco's east bay--I was married, no children, working as a critical care R.N. but with a flexible schedule. I was fortunate to be able to visit South America several times, China (1982), Europe several times, and Africa. I would say my most rewarding professional and travel experience was when I made three trips in the 90's to St. Petersburg, Russia, with a heart surgery team. We taught the Russians to do what we did.  



In 2000 I divorced and entered the next phase of my life. I met my husband and we moved to the Gold Country in the western foothills of the Sierras, just over an hour from Lake Tahoe. I have become an instant mother to four (ages 55 to 28!), grandmother to three, and now GREAT grandmother to a 6 month old.  My mother was living near us but passed away three years ago and my brother lived near us but has now returned to Maine.



Now I look forward to the reunion and re-visiting my roots!
Grandchildren: 3
Hobbies: Have had many over the years but presently I am a member of a local gym where I work out and do Zumba, reading as am in a book club,caring for our three acres, plus hiking along the rivers and canals in these beautiful foothills.
What are your plans for retirement?: I retired from nursing in 2001, when we moved to the country....though I worked full time for the first couple of years on the house we built and the land surrounding it.....then my husband and I bought and sold several properties. Now I am feeling more properly retired and hope to fit in some more traveling.

Occupation: University lecturer
Comment: My AFS exchange year to N.P. began my love of travel and my deep belief in its power to change to enrich and to understand (Plus a wonderful rich and loving family in Lane and all the de Molls). Returning to England -I studied english and russian at university plus a lot of student politics and drama.I went into teaching - for six years and then started part-time university teaching, a masters and a family.
I spent a year in Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz (1980) and another in Cornell !983/4 where my youngest son was born.Somehow almost every 2 years I have visited Lane or others in the family in Europe or in the USA. To my great pleasure my kids all come and visit as much as they can. (My eldest son Ben  now a doctor has managed sky dving  in the US  and several months medic training in Hershey and New Zealand )

I taught briefly at Warwick University nearby ( History of education)when the children were little and then when I separated from my husband, taught full time at the Open University. My interest in dyslexia grew and alongside it my interest in counselling so I trained in these areas  which  fed into my work and  student support. . We all kept travelling and music making .Now after several years I find myself going with my sons to the opera - while my daughter Thomasin is doing a second degree at the Scottish Royal Academy of drama and my youngest son Rupert now out of university film school ,looks for the next film.
After several years  relationship and great fun travellling together to work ( China, Korea) and the Gambia) as well as to visit friends and discover new places - I remarried last year .

This reunion - this '40'years has really prompted reflection and memories - how has it all gone so fast!!  reading everyone's accounts tell such diverse and rich stories -

 It is really hard not to make this account  sound like life as a frantic list of events and jouneys ! Right now the wisteria is flowering in the garden and the shadows are lengthening over the Abbey Fields opposite my very old cottage - my son's girlfriend is cooking and the smells are wafting into my study.
I look forward to another visit to the USA and to the re-union.
Grandchildren: none yet
Hobbies: Theatre,films and concerts still play a big part -we live only 5 miles from Stratford upon Avon and also live part of our lives in Cambridge -so lots of music and debate.
Still love the skiing lane introduced me to- all the family goes when we can plus walking,gardening, singing in a choir and above all reading.
What are your plans for retirement?: I hope to quit my more than full-time post with the Open University next march to write another book on dyslexia, possibly also one with my husband, to enjoy some individual teaching again and some research.I'm also hoping to do more walking, some voluntary and some educational work abroad in Africa, more travelling, writing and translating poetry and brushing up my russian for a long visit we want to make to the Hermitage - and more space/time to do all these things.
