I am very proud of my four children, I believe we have raised some good citizens, and now looking forward to the grandchildren. Our two grandchildren are in Gilbert Arizona just outside of Phoenix with the oldest daughter and her husband. Our son and his wife just moved to Austin and are expecting their first (a boy) in November (2017). One of our twin girls married in 2016 and lives in Houston, the other will marry in October 2017 and lives in Ann Arbor.

I am re-establishing a Michigan presence, coming back to sink at least part of the taproot. Very much looking forward to reconnecting to classmates, old friends, and listening to the life's stories, travels, and experiences.

BRUCE GANER has left an In Memory comment for ANN GAUSS BUCHANAN.

Ann was one of my favorite people in high school, even though I only went out with her a few times. Knew her and admired her generally from a distance. I always thought she was clearly very intelligent, attractive, and clever. Never saw her or kept up with her until the last class reunion, and so grateful for that experience. Sorry to hear this news, but I guess all good things must come to pass. This is the least fun thing about getting old(er).

Hey Ed, a big Happy Birthday and best wishes for many more. Everytime i hear your name i am reminded of the time we rigged that party popper trick on Ms Gurney in Spanish and ended up in Clark's office in a brief detention. Remember even Clark thought it was funny?

Hey Craig, sounds like you have had a good and successful life. Congratulations. Sorry to have missed you at the 50th class reunion. Note a good many classmates are still keeping in touch and are getting together in the Richland area 1 to 2 times a year. Its been a lot of fun. I note you are in Pensacola FL, we are in Houston Texas since 1980, but also have a place between Hickory Cornes and Hastings near Big Cedar Lake. It would be great to reconnect sometime, especially at one of the classmate get togethers in Richland. Best wishes, Bruce
