Email: jan-ragnar.haugstvedt@rikshospitalet.no
I enjoyed attending the last reunion which I think must have been in the fall of 1997. I still keep in touch with the Marples. I call them once in a while, but to a wider extent we communicate through email. Although they don't live that much in Marysville anymore (Greg does, and I guess Donna and Ron at least part time of the year), I do receive some news from Kansas. I know for sure that July 27 and 28 will be impossible for me this year. This summer we've planned for renting a house in southern France and bringing our kids and in-laws along; the house is rented from July 28. (I guess for me it would have been easier with a reunion in the spring or in the fall when nobody else wants to be off.)
Anyway, everything is fine here in Oslo. I'm still working as a consultant at the National Hospital in Oslo, I'm dealing with orthopedics, or rather hand- and microsurgery to be more specific. Karen (my wife) and I have three kids; Jon (27 and married) who just finished med.school and will start his internship in February, Mari (24 and married) who is studying to become a pastor, and Lars (21 and single) who is studying law. No grandkids!

Email: llock@bbwi.net
I’m still Director of Brown Co. Developmental Services. 23 years and I still love my job. My husband Steve is still co-owner of Steve’s Tractor Repair and farms on the side. We moved to the country four years ago and love it. I spend a lot of time with my flowers, dogs, cats, cows and Greg. My youngest is 10 and going to middle school next year. He does basketball, soccer, flag football and baseball. I play tennis. My first 2 boys are 23 and 22. The 23 year old, Matthew, is STILL in school. He played basketball for 3 years and this slowed him down as far as getting his teaching degree. Jared, our middle boy, is employed full time as a John Deere mechanic and helps an old gentleman farm with intentions of taking over someday. He just bought an old Victorian farm house so I spend a lot of time working on it. No daughter-in-laws yet, nor grand kids. Hopefully someday, but they’re not in a hurry and that’s good, too. My folks are both gone, but we get to Marysville several times a year to see my step mom.

After retiring in 2003, my husband and I sold our home in Topeka and RV’d to the west coast and then south. RV’ing wasn’t our cup of tea so we bought a home near the ocean in Port Aransas, TX. We enjoyed the beach for 2 ½ years and then decided to relocate to Oregon where temperatures and weather are moderate. Our home is now Oregon and since moving here, we have been remodeling the house doing the work ourselves. My hobbies are water aerobics and yoga. I taught water exercises when we lived in Topeka as well as swimming lessons. I also worked part time as a life guard. I enjoy yoga having learned to balance my head stand. I hope to join everyone at the next reunion at which time, we will be “settled” in Oregon. Our remodeling projects will be completed this year and so our “budget” should then return to normal. Wish you all the best. P.S. I do have a dog and no children.

I just got
back from a trip to San Diego! I wanted to go scuba diving for my
birthday on July 12th and that's what I did! Whee! I stayed with my
cousin and her family who dive as well. We also did some ocean
kayaking, went to the zoo and wild animal park. I had a wonderful
time! I have been a realtor here in Pueblo, Colorado for 12 years
now. I enjoy helping others with buying and selling real estate. My
intention is to help people in a way that supports them. For me a
good deal is where everyone benefits! I have a tortoise, Bacchus.
