| Comment: Hello, I graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1969( BA in Spanish) and the University of St. Thomas in 1970(MAT) I taught Spanish at Simley High School in Inver Grove Heights for 34 years. I also taught at the University of Minnesota and Metropolitan State University part time. During the summers, I was a tour guide in Mexico, Spain and Costa Rica with student study groups. I was married to Grant A. Moosbrugger for 30 years who he died in 2012. After being an exchange student with SPAN at the University of Minnesota in 1968 in Costa Rica, my dream was to return and live there. Since 1996 I have owned and run a 12 acre coffee farm in Costa Rica. I am there about 10 months a year and try to return to Minnesota twice a year.I truly enjoy being in Costa Rica and I love the farm. | |

| Comment: After graduation, I enlisted in the Air Force and spent a year in Viet Nam landing at Ton Son Nhut 3 days before the TET Offensive. I was also lucky to have a ringside seat for the Bob Hope Xmas show at Long Bien (featuring Ann Margaret). 3 weeks after arriving home from Viet Nam in Jan. 1969, I bowled the ONLY 300 game in the history of the Mpls. Tribune Classic Bowling Tournament. (All those games at Carriage House Lanes finally paid off.) In 1973 I had the highest average in Minn. at 217 and I bowled in a number of Professional Tournaments while living in Missouri. After a career as a Computer Field Engineer, I started a business of restoring and selling 78 RPM Wurlitzer Jukeboxes. I now spend most of my days playing Poker (Hold-em) at the local casinos. (retirement is GREAT). I am truely blessed to have a great wife and 3 wonderful kids. | |

| Comment: Hi everyone. Despite the fact that I haven't been back to MN in many years, I am alive and well and living in Oceanside, CA...about 30 miles North of San Diego. After living in Denver, San Jose, Danville and Sacramento, Oceanside is by far the best! I am enjoying my retirement from Kemper Insurance. My days are filled with going to the beach, playing golf and being a docent at the Gemological Inst of America headquarters in Carlsbad. I am sorry I will miss the reunion and the buckem game with Bonnie, Susie, Judy, Joanne and the gang. If anyone is out this way send me a note. Stay healthy and have fun! | |

My husband and I moved from southern MN to our lake home on Cass Lake when we retired. We enjoy the lake life but head for Lake Havasu City, AZ, when the snow starts to blow and come back to MN for fishing opener. |

Comment:
Life is Good!! One son, one stepson and one stepdaughter. Four grandchildren ages 5-10. Taught school and then in 1976 opened a financial planning biz. Never dreamed when I was in college I would always work. I have loved it! I am finding it hard to retire--getting pressure from my husband:) Travel 3 to 4 months a year. Have a biz partner who manages the operation while I am either visiting clients or playing. Have done alot of community service work and hope to do more in the future. Cooking is my "therapy!" Love to feed people. I guess that is my Jewish Mother side. Love attending all types of performing arts; guess that is my creative side. Also love attending sporting events--guess that is...oops I have no athletic side! But I can dance and will at any opportunity:) Was new to SLP senior year. Made some of my closest friends from that class. Am grateful to have been part of that great group and this great class! Cheers, Shelli Chase |
