What is your profession (i.e. Accounting, Computers, Domestic Engineer, etc): Medical
What company do you work for: Biolife Plasma Services
What is your job title: RN, Medical Supervisor
Explain your job: I perform physicals and determine donor eligibility. The plasma that we collect is made into medications that save peoples lives. Plasma cannot be man-made so it is only by donation that we are able to supply plasma for those that need it. I am glad that I am a part of something important.
Did you attend college (or are you attending college) and if so, what college(s) and what degree(s): I attended Carroll College for a year in 1989-90. I also went to San Diego where I attended the Institute of Psycho-Structural Balancing and became a certified Massage Therapist. I attended Boise State University graduating with a nursing degree in 1997. I am currently attending Montana State Univerity at Billings going for a Bachelor degree in Health and Human Performance, Health Promotion option. I'll probably graduate in 2006 or 2007. It takes time when you work and go to school so hopefully I will graduate!
Favorite teacher(s): You've got to be kidding! I can't remember their names.
What states/countries have you lived in: I've moved only a couple times since graduation in 1978. I left Montana in 1991 when I divorced and moved to Boise, ID. I met my second husband there and we were married in 1992. When we divorced in 1998, I moved back to Montana and settled in Livingston for about 7 months before moving on to Billings. I met husband number 3 in Billings and married in 1999 but later divorced in 2003. So, now I've vowed to remain single and decided to stay put here in Billings.
When you were a Freshman, what did you want to grow up to be: A high school graduate. Seriously, I never thought that I'd be a nurse.
Tell us more about your children: Bryan lives in Helena and has 4 kids, so yes, I'm a grandmother! Jeramya lives in Billings and is single. Ahmanda also lives in Billings with me and should graduate next year. (I'm keeping my fingers crossed).
What are your hobbies these days: I like to rappel (but not that great at it), it is exciting though! I crochet, back-pack, hike, camp. . . different things depending on the season.
What have you been doing with yourself since High School (this is where you add any additional information): I think that I already filled that in during the previous questions. I would like to say that I was sorry to see that there have been that many deaths and so many from gunshot wounds. . .

1998
I now have 7 children and four grandchildren. We live on a small farm where we operate a nudist camp. We do pretty good business in the spring and summer, but the winter months are breezy and cold. Okay all of this is fictional. Jennie said to make something up, since her real information is only good until May 31st. She writes that: By August I will have no home, no job, no address, no phone. I already have no family. I lived in Bozeman 10 years ago too. No one will believe I've accomplished anything in between! I'm about to move to Colorado to be a university professor. First I'm going to Maine. Jennie will be attending the reunion, so we can get the real scoop then!!!!
Career: College Instructor
Classmates: Tina Yahvah and Catie Shanahan, still my buddies!
Teachers: Jeannie Whelan Tweeten, who's still waiting for me to be a writer (and don't worry Jennie, we won't tell her about the lack of written material we received from you for the memory book -- it would shatter her dreams!)
