From Robert:
Howdy, another one off the MIA list.  In a nutshell, after graduation, I spent a year in Idaho, then 2 in Brisbane Austrailia, back to Bryan, and for the past 25 years I have been living in San Antonio, Texas.  I have 2 great kids, my oldest son, Cameron is graduating High School this year.  So this is bringing back memories from 30 years ago for me.  My family and I will be moving to the Dallas area this summer, as Rosann will be attending the UT Medical Center for the next few years.  Will provide more later as I just found this site.

Spouse/Significant Other:  Lenny Place
From Patricia:
After reading all your entries I realized I didn't really tell you where I have been.. After high school I went to Charles & Sue's Beauty School, got married in August of 1979 to my boy's father and we were married 18 years.  I home schooled my boy's and when they did begin to attend school I was a sub at the school's in Madison County, Ky...  We had lived in Austin for 4 years and Maryland for 4 year's and  Kentucky since 1991 until I left Ohio in January of 2006.   I was alway's busy...  

I have two children  Lyn David 27 here in College Station and Jordan 24 living in Frankfort, KY both of my boy's didn't fall far from the tree they are both plumbers like their father.  I also have two awesome children from Lenny's marriage, Jessica 27 amd Bemjamin 22 whom both live in Germany..  Too far away for us... We love to cook and entertain and you gotta love 42.... Dominos..  Lenny & I just enjoy our quite time when we get it...  Because it can get pretty loud around here when all the kids and family are here.    We are very much into being together and our quite time and love the time we do get.  
 
Empty nest..  Well my boy's have been out of the house for several years and I have to say it was so hard for me in the beginning, but I did get over it....    My life has been full and look forward to see what's next... All good I pray...  
I am reading up on where you all are and I am so glad to see you all doing so well........ And yes that is my Father's Stetson on the top of our Christmas tree,,,,,That is my tribute, both my parents have left this world and if you still have your's appreciate them...  It's hard when they are gone.   I really look forward to seeing you all  ..

And where is Bill Kruger...  we have to talk...

From Graylan:
I've moved around the country since graduating from Texas A&M and starting work with ConocoPhillips in 1984.  Some of the stops along the way have been Ponca City. Oklahoma City and Tulsa Oklahoma, Houston, Colorado Springs, Springville Utah and now Albuquerque New Mexico.

Happily married to my second wife, Miriam, a Massage Therapist.

Three children in Greeley Colorado; Kaylan (19) , Kelsea (17) and Taylor (son - 15).

Look forward to catching up with everyone soon.

**This additional note is being added by the reunion committee.  Tragically, Graylan passed away on Tuesday, August 26th, 2008, exactly one month after our reunion.  He had been diagnosed with cancer shortly before the reunion and made a heroic effort to attend the reunion to see old friends and perhaps have some closure on this part of his life.  We are so grateful to have had an opportunity to see him.  We offer our most sincere sympathy to all his family.  A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 6th at 2:00pm at Memorial Funeral Chapel in Bryan.

I got a BBA in Marketing from Texas A&M in 1982. Moved to Rockport, Texas and married the editor and publisher of the newspaper - Mike! After working at the newspaper for six years, I began working at the Rockport-Fulton Area Chamber of Commerce as their Executive Director in 1990.

We have two daughters, Alyssa (20) a sophomore at Texas A&M and Ashlee (19) a freshman at Texas A&M. Mike and I are definitely "empty nesters" and look forward to seeing everyone! .... and no, my girls don't even know how to twirl!!!
