| Comment: Kim and Don live in Dell Rapids, SD (30 miles from Sioux Falls, SD). We love our country home with cows off the back deck and a view in the front. We are the ultimate blended family with natural children, (as opposed to unnatural??), step-children, an adopted child and a foster child. We also have 2 grandchildren. It makes for an interesting marriage when ONE of our favorite past times is diagnosing each other's quirks as Don is a psychologist and Kim a therapist. We have several musicians in the family, Don and one son are drummers and both play in 'garage bands' - for recreation, with in-laws and friends as singers and guitar players (nothing but classic rock) so we never have to leave the house. We have it all!! We are looking forward to the reunion and wish everyone a safe round trip. Being technologically challenged we are still figuring out how to get old pictures onto the computer, but they will be on soon hopefully. | |

| Comment: Terry & I have been back in Pierre since 1994. We previously lived in Davis, Calif. for approx. 10 years. Started having children and decided we'd rather raise them back in good ol' SD--we turned out o.k. I guess!

Terry and I have been together for 33 years and married for 26 of them ( and they said it wouldn't last!). We like living and raising our family here. Our daughter Blaire is 21 and currently lives in Mitchell, our son Nathan is 16 (just turned) and currently is in Europe as a student ambassador for the People to People program. Did you know that it's legal to drink at the age of 16 in Europe????? I hope he doesn't know it!! Well i've rambled on long enough, see ya at the reunion! | |
