Wow 40 years...can't wait to see everyone. I've not only been removed from all of the classmates, but from Bethesda also. After moving away from there many years ago, all of my family did also, so really haven't been back much.

After school in WVA, I lucked into what turned into a great 34 year career as a National Park Ranger. It allowed us to live and work in some of the coolest places in America. After living in VA, WY, AK, SD, CA, and UT, we retired in Western Colorado. We live in Ridgway, which is on the edge of the San Juans, and brags about having the only traffic light in the county!

As much as I enjoyed my life with the National Park Service, the early retirement has been awesome also. With two teens in the house and my 7th grandkid on the way, the family time is welcomed.

Thanks so much to the committee for putting this together. It sounds like a once in a lifetime event! See ya all there!
