Family Status: Married

Children: 5
One son and four step-children

My son, Jeff, age 22, returned a year ago from serving an LDS mission in Upstate New York. His mission changed his life and he is my hero.

My step-son Jake, age 29, is an electrical engineer and works at Hill Air Force Base here in Utah.

My next oldest step-daughter Kate, lives in Granbury, Texas. She has two children, Emilee and Talon.

Next in line is my step-daughter Megan, age 23, married with one child, Joselyn, just 15 months old.

Last but not least, Jessica, step-daughter, age 12, loves history, reading, Internet, swimming.

Grandchildren: 4
Isaiah, age three, is our pride and joy. He lived with us for over one year. He calls me Poppy and my wife Nonna. If we do not see him two to three times a week, we go through withdrawals. He is so funny, he loves to come for visits and overnighters. Joselyn is our newest granddaughter, just 15 months old. Beautiful red hair and blue eyes, she is drop dead gorgeous. We can hardly wait for her to be old enough to stay overnight with us.

Emilee and Talon are just as wonderful as they can be, we only see them once a year since Kate and her husband recently divorced.

After Graduation I: Went to work

College:
I did not attend college, I worked at my present job in Twin Falls for seven years before moving to Pocatello.

Career: I own Smart 2 Recycle, LLC. I buy empty fax, Inkjet and LaserJet cartridges.

Also sell OEM surplus products as well. I am a cartridge broker, selling empties to companies that refill them. In America we throw away in to landfills billions of dollars worth of cartridges annually.

5 Years from now...
Expanding my business in every major city in the US and possibly overseas.

Retirement
To retire with the best health possible. To go on a LDS mission with my wife. Enjoy our family, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Other Information:
My life is not complete without a wonderful loving wife who has supported and encouraged me to follow my dreams. Likewise, I believe in supporting my wife in her career as a pediatric intensive care nurse at Primary Children’s Hospital. Always talk and share your feelings with each other, never take each other for granted. We both are cancer survivors. We live each day to the fullest and we love the time we have with each other and especially with our family.

Doug Mueller

Tecumseh, Michigan
Family Status: Married

Children: 4
Daughter Alison (Boyer) lives in Chubbuck with her husband and 3 children (Braedon, Dawson and Taelor). Alison babysits up to 10 kids, so between this and the activities with her kids, her day is full.

Grandchildren: 3
Braedon (10) is the athlete, playing baseball, basketball and football. Likely going to be a big guy as his father is over 6' tall.

Dawson (8) is the 'artsy' kid who enjoys drawing and doing anything creative.

Taelor (4) is the feisty boss of the bunch. She is likely going to be girly and athletic at the same time.

After Graduation I: Went to work.

Career: Started working full time and went to CSI for a semester and decided I didn't have time for both and unfortunately, dropped out of CSI. Worked for Buttrey Foods in Twin Falls and was transferred to Boise in 1982. Wanting to get out of the grocery business, in 1984, I went to work for Robertson Supply in Boise heading up the millwork division and selling Andersen Windows. Stayed in Boise until March of 1988 and then moved to Modesto, CA and sold residential/commercial flooring products and DuPont Corian surfacing. In 1990, we were transferred to Fresno, CA. I joined Andersen Windows in 1997, covering all of northern California in a sales position and, in 2000, I was transferred to cover the Michigan/Ohio area as a district sales manager. We landed in Tecumseh, MI (just south of Ann Arbor) and as of January 2008, I've now been transferred to Minnesota where I'll be district sales manager covering most of Minnesota and parts of Iowa and Wisconsin. Our plan is to move to MN/WI area in the summer of 2008.

5 Years from now...
My hope is to stay with Andersen in upper management and settle into the Minneapolis metro area and enjoy the seasons and the culture.

Retirement
My goal was to retire at 55, but with some investments gone south and with current economic conditions, I could see delaying this until I'm 60. I'm in good health and my goal is to maintain my health well into retirement and tour the country. I've been lucking to see a lot of the USA in my work travels and vacations that Cathy and I have taken, but there is so much more to see. We take long motorcycle trips and this would be another way to see the country in our retirement.

Other Information:
I'm one of the lucky people to land good employment positions without a formal college education. Hard work, common sense and doing what is 'right' have gotten me to where I'm at. I've had the good fortune to work for some great mentors and leaders that have added to my success. My biggest regret is not going to college and getting a degree as I earned my success in a harder fashion than those who have taken the time to get a degree. Education cannot be emphasized enough.

I've been married to Cathy for 24 years and she's been the greatest partner in my life.

I miss a lot of things about the simple life I had in Twin Falls and it’s good to go back and visit my parents and brother. There is something about your 'roots' that gives you a feeling of security and comfort and visiting Twin Falls does that for me.

After Graduation I: Went to College

College:
BYU
Boise State University
ITT Techinical Institute

Career: I currently work in the client services department of an advertising firm headquartered in Livonia, Michigan.

5 Years from now...
Five years in the future, I will still be plugging away at the grindstone. I hope to see the other two children married and settled down in the next five years and maybe even be graced with another grandchild or two. The two children that are currently married have already informed us that they are not likely to give us any more grandchildren so I guess we will have to start pressuring the other two. Hehehe

Retirement
I hope to retire by the age of 65 and, if this current recession and market crash doesn't mess things up for us, that should be a very realistic goal.

After retirement, Greg and I will most likely move back to the west. We would love to move back to Seattle but it just isn't affordable to purchase housing in that area. I would like to travel, often just going to see family but I would like to take an annual or semi annual trip to places I have never seen before.

Other Information:
I left Twin Falls to move to Provo, Utah only one day after I graduated in the mid-semester of our senior year. I attended BYU for one year before moving to Boise, Idaho. There, I met and married the father of my two children, born 05/1977 and 10/1978. My children are my proudest accomplishment.

In 1993, I married my current husband, who has two children. When we were married, we had 14, 15, 16, and 17 year old teenagers, three cats, two dogs, and a rat (who luckily died shortly after our wedding). If we could survive those early married years, we can survive anything!

After living in Boise, Idaho for 22 years, my husband and I moved to Seattle, Washington. We loved Seattle but after 10 years, my husband was offered a career opportunity that required us to move to Atlanta, Georgia. We have now been living in the Atlanta metro area since April of 2005.

My life is my family and what I have accomplished beyond that is meaningless to me. We have been greatly blessed with many things in life but none of it means a thing without the love and ties of family.

Nancy (Warner) Yoshimine

Chandler, Arizona
Family Status: Married

Children: 2
Keiko - 28 yrs old, not married, she was engaged once, but then called it off. That’s as close as she came to getting married. She is my busy one. She has her Masters from Arizona State in Kinesiology. She loves basketball. Right now she is teaching Science/Health in High School. But she makes most of her money in the summer and winter breaks running basketball camps. She is right now in the process of buying her first home.

Hiko is 27 next month (June/08). He lives only 10 minutes from me. He served a mission in Panama. He currently works for Walden University and is continuing his education, one or two classes at a time. He's not married.

I have friends that say not to worry that eventually my kids with get married and give me some grandkids. So far, neither is in any hurry to, even though I am more than ready for grandkids and have been for a long time.

Grandchildren: 0

After Graduation I: Went to College

College:
Utah Tech

Career: Right out of college (Dental Assisting), I got a job at Bill Workman Ford as their bookkeeper. Since then I have always had some kind of job dealing with cars. I have worked at other dealerships, and a leasing company. But for the last 21 years, I have worked at Wells Fargo, as a credit analyst. And of course, all I do all day long is approve and decline Auto loans.

5 Years from now...
My husband, Yoshi, is an electronic engineer, and recently got laid off. We decided that since we are only a couple months away from paying off our house and being out of debt, that he could retire. The only bad thing about that is I have 10-12 yrs before I can retire. Oh well.

Retirement
I want to sell our home and move somewhere by a stream, where we can just sit back and relax and fish. I would love to travel across the country seeing all the sights, but gas prices being as they are, don't know if that will ever happen.

Other Information:
Yoshi and I have been married 29 years. If possible, I am even more in love with him now than when I married him. We are both very active in our Church. We take great joy in the little things.

Both Yoshi's and my parent are deceased. It is really weird not having them around. Since my parents passed away, I don't have any relatives living in Idaho. It's been since the last reunion that I was in Twin Falls, which is sad because I love Idaho so much.

Grandchildren: 17
My oldest is nine and with 17 and 9 of them will be under 2. They are all great. So far we have 10 girls and 5 boys. It is nice after raising seven sons to have a lot of girls. Every Sunday we get together at our house and have dinner. Chad, my husband, usually cooks. I turn on the music as my granddaughters dance around the room and I applaud. I try to be involved in their lives but have started to feel overwhelmed. I am very thankful for their good parents who teach them. Last week when our last grandchild was born somehow his uncle missed the news and did not find out for four days. I felt overwhelmed with the responsibility to keep us all together and informed. A big job. We have five in the midwest. The rest are close here.

After Graduation I: Went to College

College:
BYU

Career: After having three premature children I decided to teach my children at home. It was not cool back in those days. Family hassled us along with anyone else who decided they knew what my children needed. But as they grew and people saw that they could be normal and even somewhat smart they softened. So being a mother and teacher to my nine children has been my job. We have built our own home four times and the boys learned their construction skills from that, besides we grew really close as a family. We have had some great times. We built one house right by BLM land and had a bear visit us yearly. Our closest neighbor was two miles away and we lived in this forest with a creek and a pond. It was so much fun. Now we live the city life. Hannah has kept me flying to New York seven times in the last three years. We did not travel or vacation much before her dance started taking us every where. My husband has been in the flower business for our married life. Providing for a large family has not always been easy. But we have learned to work together and that has been great for our relationships as a family. We now have a wholesale florist, and we sale to florist all over the state and we also have a retail store.

5 Years from now...
With 50 grandchildren!! Probably Chad and I will be on missions just to get away. We are hoping to sell our businesses and home and size down and become portable. So we can visit children and grandchildren and serve missions.

Retirement
Chad likes his home and traveling is not his thing. He likes to work in the yard and have his children and grandchildren around him. Chad and I like to work so retirement, I can't even think about it. It sounds so, so boring. So we will probably be doing something off the beaten path because that seems to be the one we usually travel on.

Other Information:
It has been great to read about your lives. It seems we have all been taken down different paths and adventures. You are all amazing!!! It seems like we have changed the world, just our class. I would love to someday hear the whole stories and struggles and growth that we have all gone through. Thanks Delanie and all who have put us in touch.
