I wasn't missing even though sometime I wish I was. Like missing on some cruise ship or something like that.

After 27 years in the Air Force and moving every 2 - 3 years, we retired in 2005 and moved to Florida. Our son (21) is a junior in college and our daughter (17) is a junior in high school. Sadly I won't be able to make the reunion this year :( |

Hi everyone, I retired from the Kettering Police Dept in 2014 after 31 years in Law Enforcement. My wife and I sold our house in Wilmington, OH in April,2021, and moved to Hot Springs Village, AR. Sadly, Erin died unexpectedly in April from complications following a double knee replacement. My daughter, son-in-law ,and two grandkids live in West Carrollton Audrey is a Nurse Practitioner with an OB/GYN practice in Dayton, and Ben is the General Manager of the Roosters restaurant in Beavercreek. I don't know what God has in store for the next chapter of my life, but Arkansas sure is a beautiful place to live it! I wish the very best to y'all in the class of 78! |

Wow, 30 years - I can't believe it still! I am so excited about coming home to see everyone and was very glad to see that this was getting organized. I am married to Sandy Wadella (Spatz) and have been since 1985 (you do the math). We have two girls: Jennifer - 21 - Junior in college at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, and Jordan - 18 - senior in high school and will be attending Kansas State University in the fall. We live in Overland Park, Kansas and have been here for about 9 years. Previously, we lived in Detroit, Mi and Dallas, Tx. I work for Jefferson Wells now (last 3 years) which is a professional services firm that provides Finance and accounting, Internal Audit, Tax and Technology Risk solutions. Big left turn for me after graduating from University of Cincinnati in Electrical Engineering oh so many years ago. I was previously with Ernst & Young in Kansas City (8 years) and prior to that, Electronic Data Systems (13 years) in both Detroit and Dallas. There you have - the short version of life after high school! Picture of my girls attached - I am still searching for a recent photo of Sandy and I. |
