I am busier than ever with making sculpture, painting portraits, designing for the gift industry, occasional jewelry design and always teaching art to kids at my sons elementary school. My daughter Natalia, will start UC Santa Cruz in the fall and husband Mark Stevenson still enjoying his relatively new career as a structural engineer in our ever exciting seismic region. After 24 years in the SF bay area I’m ready for New Zealand! Know anyone living there?
My husband and I are enjoying being empty nesters. I still work for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, but switched to an IT role, helping to build our electronic medical record. – 6/17/2011

(???) What an enjoyable trip it has been looking at the pictures of all of you. Thank you all for working so hard to provide me with this treat. I am happy to say that I have found my soul mate in my wife Toni. Yes it did take me a few, some more enjoyable than others. Toni has two great kids named Matthew and Kimberly. We all know how wonderous it can be to live with “teenagers”! I work for a small company that sells fine wines and spirits.Toni works for a company that builds homes. Living in the fabulous “Silicon Valley” has its ups and downs. This year is a down year and I will not be able to attend the ultimate 30 year flash back. I do dream of standing on Wyoming Avenue and looking at that old stone fortress. That building that started friendships,relationships, and gave me some of the wildest times in my life.
To my knowledge, Tim Metcalf was the only person who was out here (California) from the class of 72. I look forward to hearing from anyone who would like to e-mail me. All the best to all of you who work on keeping us old dogs in touch. Thanks again.
PS: To Bill Ward, Alan Voss, John Bruck, Mexico is still there. Lets sip Patron and tell stories of a trip long gone. Oh ya
“Hi, gang! I can’t believe I’ve been in Berlin more than half my life now. ‘Hope to see all of you at our 40th. (And to flirt with old “squeezes”.) This should be our biggest party.”
After raising my 4 wonderful daughters (Ruth,25; Madeleine 23; Irene 22; Laura 20) I became a music teacher for 5 years and I now teach 2nd grade in a Catholic school for inner city students. I consider it a blessing that my daughters share my love for Gilbert and Sullivan!”
We just moved into an old farm house built in 1852. I am married to Lois Sheeler-Duncan and we have three daughters Allison (12), Stephanie (9), and Rebecca (6). We have plenty of room in the new (old?) house, so give a call or better yet, a visit!

My, how time flies. With wife Betsy of 30 years and family of four, we’ve lived in Fayetteville for 20 years, the longest stay in one place since Cincinnati. Both parents have gone, so we don’t get back much. Life as a university professor has been good, and Betsy’s role as a stock broker/securities analyst helps to keep us afloat. All but one of the kids are out of the house and being productive, so we must have done something right. If life brings you near the Ozarks, please drop me a line. – March 3,2008
I am still alive. Although I dropped out to pursue my own education as soon as I could (in 10th grade), I did manage to achieve some conventional degrees (including a Masters from the University of Chicago), and a career. I have been married since 1976, and have two grown boys, both college graduates. It’s been good to see some of the old names and faces on the web site, although I probably will not be coming to the reunion.

God has blessed Dave and I with almost 30 years of marriage, 2 grown children (Brian age 25 married to Marla, and Sommer age 24), 1 grandson (Kedrick Isaac Duvall-age 17 months), a host of friends, a great life, and a new home surrounded by woods and tranquility. I have worked for Julia Kinlaw, DDS right on Wyoming Ave. for the past 6+ years and have seen or heard of many of you through the office. It’s fun to read about each of you.
Here are a few thoughts to encourage you to enjoy this time in life. That is my goal.
At a young 59 years Michelangelo painted the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel. At 65 Winston Churchill took charge of defeating the Nazi’s. At 78 Grandma Moses began her painting career. At 81 Ben Franklin was responsible for being the prime mediator of the U.S. Constitution. At 50, One of your classmates of 1972 WHS, Sally Johnson Worley finished her doctorate degree. (actually 6 days before she turned 51) So Class of 1972 here’s to you and your adventures coming up. Thanks for celebrating with me. Your cards and emails have been such a joy. I have not received this much attention since I was born. From my heart to yours Sally J. – June 28, 2005

I did not graduate from Wyoming High School but I went there for ten years I still know most of the names and recognize alot of the faces. I would like my name to be included on the classmates page if possible. I wish I had found the web page sooner so maybe I would have been able attend the reunion even though I did not graduate from Wyoming. I feel like I still know a lot of you and would like to see you again.
I have been married since 1981 to a wonderful man from Minnesota. After 5 years in Fargo, ND we moved to Ohio and now reside in the country northeast of Cincinnati. My daughter Greta is working on her PHD in English at Miami University and has been married for 3 years, and my son Paul has 1 more year at UC to finish a combined Bachelors and Masters, and married in December. After Teaching Elementary art for 9 years the school closed leaving me unemployed. I am now a sales person for a JCPenney in Cincinnati.
4/3/2012: I continue to work as an executive recruiter, 2012 being my 25th year in the business. My wife, Sherry, recently retired from teaching, and now spends much of her time babysitting our two grandchildren.
All three of our children are finally doing something useful: two working and one in medical school, and only one has left the state–Spencer is in Chicago.
On a recent visit to Cincinnati I was excited to see the incredible development taking place in Over-the-Rhine. Detroit, though it has a longer way to go, is also in the midst of a similar regeneration, so much so that one of our kids is now living in the city. If you’re ever in the area, please stop by.
