Career: Left the Utah area in 1980 to follow a career in Idaho which took me to Germany and then return to Utah for a few years. I was then I was hired by Chevron as their Regional EAP Advisor. After 5 years I was transferred to Houston, TX. I was then given the assignment to develop mental health and substance abuse programs in 4 countries in which Chevron had employees. This was my career's passion for 14 years. I then retired and moved to Cedarburg, Wisconsin for 5 yrs. Following a year's retirement, I went back into the workforce as Clinical Director for a Healthcare company and again retired May of 2015. We moved from Wisconsin in July 2015 and are located in North Salt Lake which should be our final move, I continue working as a Clinical Social Worker at Salt Lake Behavior Health Out Patient Program. Well...we moved again and bought a larger house which now allows our family to all get together. I hope this is our last move.
Family: After having 3 boys with my first wife, I later married my current wife Pam who has 4 children. She was a young widow who has been a great supportive companion since. The children grew up, they remain close, got educations, and 5 of 7 are married. We now have 18 Grandchildren and who knows what's in the oven.
Friends: We have many friends that are all over the world now. We have had an exciting life but have no real family location that we as a family have roots. But now in Utah we have plans with children and will spend a lot of time at our Cabin each summer.
East High: Some of my fondest memories are of the years at EAST HIGH. I think of my classmates often and I wonder about your journeys in life. The Reunion was better than imagined. We continue to have a wonderful graduating Class.

Steve, I don't view our East High link much but my wife wanted me to post a couple of current photos. I do think back on our high school days and friends quite often, I am looking forward to our 60 yr Reunion and hoping to attend the 2034 Olympics. Thanks for all you do to keep us informed and organized. I finally retired in August. I miss my clients and work associates. I am busy but still find a hole that needs to be filled.

What a shock to hear of Steve's passing! And what a trauma for his family. After High School, I lost contact with him but my memories of Steve a found.  He was one of the "nice" guys who befreinded many with his sincere smile and demeanor. We played football together and I never heard a negative or bad word from him, only support. May his wife and family find some peace and remember the good times with him. The world has lost one of the good men!

I like the rest of you am shocked to hear of Kent's passing. I played with him on the Football Team at East and I was always impressed with his abilities and his leadership dispositon.  We, like others, reconnected at the 50 yr reunion and shared breakfast with him and a few others.  He continued to impress me with conversations and his acceptance of us all.  When talking, it was like the 50 yr break in our relationship did not happen.  Like Randy said, "this is a real wake up call".  May we all meet again!  Thanks Kent for being you!

It's always a shock to learn of one of our classmate's death.  Larry was one of commradery, energy and a mentor to many.  I was unaware of his alzheimers condition.  May his family and we classmated remember his vibrant personality.

Steve,
Graduation photos from the yearbook would be nice. It helped me remember the classmate. We've all changed a bit in appearance.

I was shocked to read of Ella's passing.  She was always so kiind and cheerful.  I send my best to her husband and family.  We have lost one of the good ones in life.  I remember her foundly though our paths have not crossed since our days at East.  I have nothing but fond memories of Ella!

Peggy,
I was shocked as I read about Don. I can't imagine the pain you are experiencing. I have fond memories of you both.
