Now it's our turn to ask those incredulous questions: "What do you mean, it's our 50th High School reunion? Didn't we just graduate?"
Yes, we did just graduate in the grand scheme of things and in doing so, we became lifelong members of that geeky, gawky, coming-of-age teenage club known as TJ's Class of 1971 (when being cool or hot meant something entirely different than it does to us now.) In the ensuing years, we've discovered that each one of us was more valuable and important than we ever realized back then. So we come together to reconnect with each other in friendship as well as to honor those classmates and teachers who have gone before us. We've all been, each in our own way, among the lucky ones. Please tell us what you've been up to for the past 50 years! TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ

Still in Denver after all these years. After graduating from Colorado State I began a career in the life insurance industry which began as an agent but eventually I found my niche in technical support roles. The last 15 years I worked in a high end estate and business succession planning firm. Since semi-retireing in 2018 I launced my own business and work part time as a consultant.I am in my 2nd marriage to wife Cathy... also a Denver native. I inherited 4 wonderful step-kids (2 adopted) and Cathy and I now are enjoying 7 grandkids... (5-21). I gave my life to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on a hill overlooking Horsetooth reservoire during finals week at CSU in 1974 after having been presented the Gospel the day before in a coffee shop with my best friend Dave Kinsey, by a classmate of his who I have never seen since. Continue to seek after Him in my daily life. TBTG! |
