  Norman Adams  
Spouse: Jean Married: 25 years
     I graduated with a BS in Math from Weber State University in Ogden Utah in 1966 and began immediately working for the Defense Mapping Agency (now National Imagery and Mapping Agency) in Saint Louis, Missouri. I spent 34 years there in various technical positions in the cartographic field.
I    met my wife Jean (
Laacke) in 1975 and we were married in 1976. We will
celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary later this month. We have no
children, but have had a succession of very loving Dobermans and Mastiffs.
Jean retired from Lindbergh School District in 1999 where she had managed
the computer systems for the district for many years.
     We both are still heavily involved with computers in one way or the other,
but are beginning to settle down to a more relaxed retirement life in
Bigfork, MT. This is a resort community on the shores of Flathead Lake, with
Glacier National Park just a few miles to the North. We will continue our love affair with this Park which we have enjoyed for many years now. Hiking and Skiing are my hobbies, and Jean enjoys cooking and reading. We now live in a log house nestled in the woods, which was always my dream for
retirement.
     Since I was listed as deceased at the 40th reunion in 2001, I've attached a jpeg image of myself taken
recently­-just to prove I am alive.

Gale Andrew
Occupation: Retired & Manager/Director, Oklahoma Rural Rehabilitation Corp.
Spouse: Barb Andrew    Occupation: Manager/Stylist, T and Me Hair Styles
Married: 17 years    Children: 4      Grandchildren: 5

     Between us, Barb and I have four children and five grandchildren. David Wyatt and his wife Jeanine live in Houston, TX and have one daughter, Hannah (10). Shelly Wyatt

     I retired, about 2 1/2 years ago after 33 years of service with the USDA's Farmers Home Administration (now Farm Service Agency). I presently manager, on a
parttime basis, a small non-profit corporation called the Oklahoma Rural Rehabilitation Corporation (ORRC). ORRC manages a fund, which was originally allocated to various states in the early 1930's. These depression-era funds have continued to accrue interest and are presently utilized in making farm real estate loans, scholarships for rural graduating high school seniors and a small community development grant program in rural areas. I usually spend about three days a week doing this. Ideal retirement job that doesn't interfere with my hunting and fishing. I'm also still playing a little "senior" softball (sounds old).

  Nita May Bissell
Married name: Gilliland
Spouse: Richard      Occupation: Retired, Boeing, Engineer in management
Married: 41 years      Children: 5     Grandchildren:7

     We have 5 children. Rick, 39 is divorced with 2 children. Devon is 13 and will start 8th grade in Sept. She is an outstanding student and took part in a cultural honor student trip to China last February. His son, Christopher, is 11 and will be entering 6th grade. Chris is a good student, although his interests are golf and baseball. He is an outstanding player for his team. Rick, Devon and Christopher are avid snowboarders. Rick owns an auto body repair shop in Redmond, WA.
     Our second son, Randy, 38, owns a fine woodworking and custom construction business. At this time he is rebuilding a boat house on Lake Washington in Seattle. His wife Kim is a counselor at an elementary school. They have two children.
Carly is 9 and will enter 4th grade. Each year she is chosen for a part in the school play. This summer she played softball and in the fall she played soccer. She and her dad are taking Violin lessons together. Jeff is 6 and will start 1st grade. He is just an easy-going kind of guy. He enjoys school very much. This was his first year to play T-ball. He liked playing, but wished he was old enough to play without the T-stand! The family cross-country skis in the beautiful mountains this area is blessed with.
       We have twin daughters, Nancy and Joyce, ages 33. Nancy and Bob
Kirtley have two sons. Kai is 5 and will start kindergarten. He is the funny one of the group. He is looking forward to school and playing soccer for the first time. His brother Campbell will be 2 the 21st of July. So far he is just a happy baby and thinks his big brother is the greatest. Nancy is a stay at home mom at this time and finds this the best job of all. Bob is a counselor at a prison for children. It's a hard job but he is very gifted at working with the kids.
Joyce and Eric Phillips have one son Keegan. He was 5 May 31st. He will be starting kindergarten also. He is an all-round boy. I can't think of much he isn't interested in. Joyce is a senior planner for the city of Lacey just south of Seattle. Eric is a planner for the transportation department in Pierce County, also just south of Seattle.
        David, our youngest is 31 and at this time is living at home recovering from extensive surgery to his knee. He is not to walk on the leg until July 15th. My guess is that things will be very boring before he is back on his feet. His interests are long bike rides and learning to snowboard.
        Richard and I have been retired for six years and don't miss anything about working but we do miss seeing our co-workers as often as we once did. Richard has taken art lessons in oil painting on canvas and is now a certified instructor. He teachers 4-5 times a month. I'm always on the lookout for old linens and lace, which I design and sew into different projects. Last summer for our 40th wedding anniversary we spent 3 weeks in Paris, France. What a lovely city. I'm sure we'll go again. I was able to purchase some very old French lace that is almost too dear to use.
         Thankfully we still have the pitter patter of 4 little paws of our darling four-year-old Boston terrier.

Wayne E. Bullock
Occupation: Professional Dog Breeder
Spouse: Norma     Occupation: Law Library Supervisor, Dept. of Corrections
Married: 18 years     Children: 1     Grandchildren: 1

     Norma and I got married February 12, 1983. She has one son, Billy, who lives in Cleveland, OK. I have one daughter Lisa, who lives in
Bauch Springs, TX. Lisa is married to Mike Taylor and they have one daughter, Morgan.
     My job consists of anything my wife wants me to do. It's nice having only one boss, after all of those years in the prison work. (Just joking.) We have a large dog kennel which consists of approximately forty Boxer females, 20 dachshunds and 3 Min Pens. This keeps us both very busy. I am retired, but it is spelled… T-I-R-E-D. We raise a large garden every year and I enjoy giving fresh veggies to the old folks.
     My main interest, other than my wife, is my granddaughter. She has her grand dad wrapped around her little finger. I guess this is what grandchildren are for.

(Neoma) Faye Carmichael

Married Name: Ramsey
Occupation: Parttime Office Manager, Furr. Forming Patterns
Spouse: Ivan - Retired, Oklahoma City Fire Department
Married: 38 years Children: 2 Grandchildren: 1

      We have two sons, Scott and Todd. Todd lives in Oklahoma City with our only grandson, Dillon, who is nine years old and the joy of our life. Scott died nine years ago and left a huge vacancy in our family.
       I quit working full time in 1990. In 1993, I was asked by a wonderful lady to manager family-owned business part time out of her home. Just this year her family moved to Alabama and I am now managing the business out of my home.
       Ivan retired from the Oklahoma City Fire Department in the fall of 1991 after twenty-two years and two months. The next two years we traveled off and on through the central and western part of the U.S. in our 5th wheel trailer. Five years ago we bought 80 acres, 3 1/2 miles north of Coyle and started a small cow/calf operation of black angus. We now have a home on the acreage where Ivan spends a lot of time doing whatever men do in the country. I visit the country occasionally, but I like being close to all the big city conveniences.
Last year, after wanting to take dance lessons all my life, I started taking tap lessons. I love it and this year performed with my dance class at the Oklahoma City Arts Festival.
     I am still very involved in gardening. I am a Master Gardener (just a title, I'm not really a master of anything), a member of the
Hosta Society (Hosta is a beautiful shade plant) and Water Garden Society of Oklahoma. I have been the editor of the Water Garden Society of Oklahoma Pond Tour Magazine for five years and have held several other positions in the Society. My garden gives me peace when other things in my life are chaotic.
