What have you been doing since June, 1961? Has life been good? Tell us everything.:
I graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder with a major in Elementary Education. Married and lived in Denver for three years. Divorced. Returned to KC and taught third grade, then attended graduate school at UMKC. Taught at Menorah Medical Center in a program for students with learning disabilities. Married again, continued at Menorah, volunteered, traveled. At age forty, I abruptly changed careers with the addition of daughters Sarah and Lynda to our family: I became a nutritionist; child psychologist; chauffeur; soccer mom; editor of term papers, college entrance essays, theses, resumes, job applications, etc. (Thank you Ms. Schroer.) Now that both girls have left the nest, I have time to play bridge, study Spanish, and advocate for a neighborhood dog park. I still love spending time with dear friends from J.C. Nichols and Southwest. I am looking forward to our reunion and sharing fond memories of the class of '61.

What are your BEST and WORST memories of your days at Southwest?:
Best Memories: Ms. Anderson's Latin class, Ms. Atwood's geometry class, Ms. T. Welch's shorthand class<br />
<br />
Worst Memory: Ms. Deets' phys. ed. class--I nearly drowned in the pool and literally had to be "fished" out with a pole!

What have you been doing since June, 1961? Has life been good? Tell us everything.:
For about four years I have been working on a documentary film profiling people who work with immigrant survivors of torture. At the end of 2009, in order to focus on the film fulltime, I sold Fanlight Productions, the educational film distribution company that was my “day job” for twenty-eight years. During that time I also produced about a dozen short documentaries, one of which – to my shock – was nominated for an Oscar. <br />
<br />
I married Emily Paradise after her graduation from Brandeis and mine from Harvard. We moved to Philadelphia for a couple of years while I got an MA in Communications, then came back to the Boston area, where she got her MA in City Planning, and where we’ve been ever since. Vacations tend to involve water (canoeing, kayaking) or travel to Latin America.<br />
<br />
Emily’s a consultant on the preservation of low-income housing and is also, these days, pursuing her interest in Latin American politics and social movements. She’s published several online articles for the North American Congress on Latin America. Our son, Jesse, is also a filmmaker, with a small company in DC, where his clients include the American Civil Liberties Union. His grandparents would have been pleased about that, as both my father and mother were among the founders of the KC chapter.<br />

Memory questions:
Where was the swimming pool @ J.C. Nichols?
Who blew up the commode at Hale Cook?
Remember Rags? Who owned him?
Phil Feingold - talk about courageous !
Who trashed Col. Jim's radio? Someone rigged
it so when he opened the window it
released the cord and he watched the
radio hit the ground
Was Uncle Benny actually a war veteran?
Who told Col. Jim to stop calling her "girlie?
Lynn Bretz?
Which teacher responded to Don Sneed by
mimicking Don' voice and body
language?
At the "picnic by the creek" (120th and
Misson Road) who was roasting a
chicken when the Officers arrived?
And who will ever forget Jack Stilits
One more: does the phrase "... great white
rabbit ..." ring a bell with anyone ?

What are your BEST and WORST memories of your days at Southwest?:
Best: Junior and Senior years - made good grades and felt genuinely accepted.<br />
Worst: Ronnie Stewart wanting to beat me senseless cause he thought I was after his sweetie Janice Boyer (I wasn't after her which made it that much more frustrating)

What have you been doing since June, 1961? Has life been good? Tell us everything.:
The first third of these last 50 years, following four years at Baker University and a wedding, I call our Foreign Service years during which we lived in an assortment of unusual cities: Topeka, Naha, Kuala Lumpur, Kinshasa, and Monrovia. The middle third was spent in Alexandria, VA dealing with kids and education. Our one son and one daughter moved through their middle, high school and college years in the Fairfax County/Virginia educational systems while I, joining the middle-aged masses, managed to complete my MEd at George Mason (unlearning card catalogs while learning the finer points of computer library searches . . . minus, of course, the Library Lady). The third third were my career years; 20 years as a high school counselor, ten in Alexandria and ten in Tucson. I retired in June '09 and plan to spend my fourth third (the next however many years) doing what I've been doing this past year . . . walking with a group of delightfully crazy women in a beautiful Catalina Mountain canyon, playing bridge, reading for myself! (and as part of an amazing book club), and taking a random series of classes through local academic institutions. Oh, yes . . . and, playing with our son's 7-year-old identical twin princesses and our daughter's 7-year-old and 6-year-old princesses. They are, quite naturally, perfect in every way. Just ask BMolo!

Best: friends made, fun had, & finally passing that horrible driving test (nobody can parallel park a Packard on the left side of a hill in downtown KC in February!).<br />
Worst: the total horror and humiliation of my 'licenseless' 16th birthday.

What have you been doing since June, 1961? Has life been good? Tell us everything.:
After finishing my college requirements, I started my training to be a Cyto-Technologist. I took my training at Kansas University Medical School and then my internship at Menorah Medical Center where I stayed until my divorce and moved to the Seattle, WA area. My daughter Christi and I moved in 1977. We love it here (sometimes a little too much rain, like this year), but we don't have big floods and tornados. My daughter gave me 2 wonderful granddaughters, Hannah and Madelyn. Love them to pieces. I have never remarried. Always tell everyone I don't want to share the remote!!!!! I retired in 2007 and love it. I have had 2 different kinds of cancers starting in 1993, but with many prayers I have successfully made it thru both. Would love to come to the reunion but not sure I can make it. That's all for now folks!!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
After stepping out of the medical profession for 12 years, I went to work as an Executive Secretary known today as Administrative Assistant and then worked for Physio Control in Redmond,WA. There we developed and manufactured defibrilators and other life saving equpment. Lots of fun was had in these two professions. Then I went back to Cytology where everything is very quiet and sedate. My favorite vacations have been several to Williamsburg, VA, Israel, and Egypt. Love ancient history. I have previously enjoyed camping, country dancing and horseback riding. Have given them up now to just enjoy my daughter and grand daughters. If I could go back to my high school years for a visit, I would and would do it just the same. I quite oftern think of Melanie Roth and Marvie McCarren. Had lots of fun with them.

My favorites times were meeting at the North door, going to Brookside with friends and winning the TV Teen Town dance contest with Dave Henderson, then a senior and I was a Sophmore.<br />
<br />
Only real thing I didn't like was P.E. and swimming. It was always cold in the pool and pool area.<br />

After college, spent many years active in state and national politics. Was Administrative Assistant to a member of the House of Representatives from Florida. Moved back to Kansas City. Married a much younger Southwest Indian maiden (Sherry J. Curtis). Put my history and political science background to good use and began a 39 year career in heavy construction specializing in building bridges. Have 2 great sons, John and his gal Nicole and their daughter Millie, and Robert and his wife Lexie and their daughter Olive and son Robert McKay. Have published several history related magazine articles and am currently working on another. Hobbies include collecting autographed sports and political memorabilia; signed 1st Edition books; historic memorabilia mostly from the Civil War period but also American Indian items; Oriental art items such as netsukes, chops, statues and watercolors; buying and assembling Hubley metal car kits made from 1940-1963; huge John Wayne fan (have all known movies, many books, photos, statues, lobby posters, etc.); study archeology and Egyptology; spend a lot of time reading and watching movies and in my spare time my lovely wife and I travel or work on the house. I also volunteer at the Santa Fe Trail/Watts Mill Historical Society/Trailside Center and the Nelson-Atkins Museum's Department of Oriental Art by editing and researching object description cards.

What have you been doing since June, 1961? Has life been good? Tell us everything.:
I graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in Architectural Engineering. After two years in the Army I went to work as a sales engineer for The CECO Corporation, a building products manufacturing company and commercial construction subcontractor. I was transferred to the home office in Chicago, where I oversaw the sales and marketing function for the concrete construction division contracting operation. <br />
<br />
After CECO went through a leveraged buy-out and was sold, I returned to Kansas City to work in sales and marketing for one of my best customers—J.E. Dunn Construction Company, becoming an integral part of their astonishing growth to one of the top construction firms in the nation. <br />
<br />
After taking early retirement from JE Dunn, I had a couple of gigs with three other firms before the commercial construction market became all but non-existent. I am now pretty much retired, but would like to find some place to put my past expereince and tatlents to productive use.<br />
<br />
I have been actively involved in numerous business and civic groups, including Careers in Construction, Junior Achievement, Shawnee Mission Schools, Kansas City Area Development Council, Johnson County Historical Museum and the Missouri and Kansas Societies of Professional Engineers. I have also been very active in the local chamber holding a number of positions over the years, ultimately being selected member of the year.<br />
<br />
My wife, Linda, and I are very active in our church and have two grown daughters. The oldest is an Adult Critical Care Pulmonologist and the younger, having held positions in five separate careers, has recently been accepted into the accelerated Registered Nursing program at Rockhurst and Research Hospital.<br />

Comment:
Southwest was the springboard to my college education at Kansas State University. I graduated from KSU with a BS in Business and parlayed that into a job as a social worker for Jackson County Welfare Department. During my college years I met and later married my husband, Roland Bahr in 1967. We made our home in the Kansas City area where our two children, Julie and Jason were born and attended school. I transferred my helping skills from social work to full time mothering. When our children were in college I worked for a few years for the Blue Valley School District. Later my husband Roland retired as President/CEO of MCFC National Bank.
We enjoyed those busy child-rearing years which became even more exciting when our daughter chose to attend Kansas University and our son Kansas State. Both graduated with honors (Julie was the first woman to be Senior Class President at KU), and Jason graduated with a Master's Degree as a structural engineer.
They each have married and our family continues to grow with the joy of grandchildren; three boys, Jack, Joe and Johnnie! When all are available from their busy schedules, we enjoy spending family weekends at our lakehouse at Lake of the Ozarks--it is a time of bonding for all three generations.
While I've had some health complications in recent years, my zest for life and pleasure in the delight in each day has never waivered. I look forward to seeing and reminiscing with each of you as we recall those growing years!
