This was David's first restoration project that took many years. It is a 1931 Model A Ford slant window Cabriolet. We took many fun trips in. To the shock of many, he decided to sell it a few years ago. He then purchased a 1031 Model A Ford Phaeton and a 4 door sedan (another Model A Ford.) So now we have a convertible (the Phaeton) and a closed car, the sedan. David LOVES Model A's. He and David Hillhouse restored a Model A in highschool...a "Woody"...sort of a Model A station wagon.
Favorite place to travel is Williams Island in West Bath, Maine. Favorite memories of Wachusett are track, and my good friends. |

Although I did not graduate from Wachusett, I feel I would know more people there than the 2 high schools I went to my senior year. My dad moved us from Princeton to Seattle, WA just before my senior year.
After high school, I got my BA from the University of Washington and later an MLS from the University of Oklahoma. I almost got another MLS (different subject) from Bradley University while I was a Professor. there. I married Kirby Turner just after college, had two children, divorced 12 years later. He died in 1991. I have moved around the country quite a bit - lived in Seattle, WA, Norman, OK, Vancouver, Yakima, and Ellensburg, WA, Elsah and Peoria, IL, Juneau, AK and now live in Harrisburg, PA. I was a librarian, and a school bus and tourist bus driver in Juneau Alaska. I am retired and enjoy quilting and making exquisite beaded jewelry. |

I had a 45 year nursing career, retiring two years ago. Daily care of three Icelandic horses keeps me busy. David White, also class of '65, and I have been married for 46 years. We have a son and a daughter and 4 wonderful grandsons.
My hobbies include knitting, rug hooking and wool applique designs. I also have a beautiful walled English garden that I enjoy looking at and caring for. David and I have lived in Kennebunk, ME for 25 years. Prior to this, we lived in Franconia, NH for 17 years. In the past two years, we purchased a wonderful little house off the grid on WIlliams Island in West Bath, where we escape to as much as possible in the summer time. Now I work part-time in a wool shop. Nothing serious in the way of health concerns. Favorite places to travel: Iceland, Cape Cod, West Bath, Maine. Favorite high school teacher was Mr. Ljungberg. And I love the memories of friends. |

Big Birthday Bash - August 20, 2017
"Be cheerful always."

After graduation, I went to Quinsigamond Community College before heading off to Cape Cod. I started living in Provincetown, then Truro, Eastham, Brewster and now in Harwich for the last 20 years. Woodstock in between, yes really. I spent my professional life working at Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank. I retired in October 2013 after 35 years of doing what I loved.
I was married once, then divorced. I have two sons. One lives in Templeton and the other lives in Heaven. I have one grandson, Zach, who is awesome! I love spending time supporting the small Cape communities. I've done my share of volunteerism and spent three years as Chamber of Commerce Vice President. I enjoy traveling, here and abroad. I'm planning a cross country road trip from Portland Oregon to Cape Cod, via Canada, this October. Going with a college friend and her dog in a VW bug, of course! My health isn't perfect but I am blessed with only minor issues. I look forward to this reunion since I don't often see many folks from my class. It will be fun to reconnect. |

My wife Janet and I live on Mt. Washington. It’s in Kentucky, not New Hampshire. My career was a Project Construction Coordinator, and I retired in September, 2014. I have no health issues at the moment. And I enjoy gardening and fishing in the Bluegrass state. My favorite memories of Wachusett were sleeping in the Courtyard and the time the local pig farmer brought in the pigs. |
