After graudation and BLIZZARD of '78, I came south and attended the University of Alabama. ROLL TIDE!
I currently live in Hoover, a suburb of Birmingham.
I am married (Judy) and have two children:  Laura (9th grade) and David (7th).  Laura recently got her drivers permit  and is "driving" me crazy.

I was quiet in HS, but my claim to fame was I rode  in the carpool with Mary Beth and Mimi!

Unfortunately, I  will not be able to attend the reunion this year.  
If anyone travels south through Alabama, please stop and give me a call. 

Have a great day.

Randy

Comment: 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.
