From Terry:
In the fall of 1958, I entered UW-Milwaukee in their new program, Applied Mathematics and Engineering Physics.  The first day of my sophomore year, I withdrew and accepted an offer of a commission in the USAF as a second lieutenant along with a rating as a navigator.  This sounded like much more fun than three more years of college and then grad school.  Upon completion of "cadets" I was selected for Airborne Electronic Warfare Officer training which ended up taking another nine months.  I spent the next two plus years flying electronic reconnaissance during the Berlin Wall Crisis and the Cuban Missile Crisis.  During this time I met and married, in 1962 to be exact, a first year early elementary school teacher, Marge.  About one year later, we were reassigned to Wiesbaden, Germany.  I went to a covert recon outfit and the real fun began.  We used various aircraft to collect electronic and photo intelligence on the Soviet Union, from the eastern Black Sea to the far northern Baltic.  Heavily armed Soviet fighters and tracking fire control radar systems were our constant companions.  I was also sent to the German Hunting Instructors school down in the Alps and then taught Americans so they could qualify for a hunting license in Germany.  Marge and I really enjoyed our 39 months in Europe and we saw a lot of it.  In March of 1967 we left Germany as I was to start USAF pilot training in Arizona, where our son George was born three months later.  Then it was on to Vietnam where I was in the tail end of the old Air Commandos and flew a U-10 for a year working with special ops types.  In the fall of 1969 I went to Pope AFB, NC, to fly C-130Es for the next ten years and retired in 1979.  Our daughter Ginger was born nine months to the day after my return from Vietnam.

From Shirley:
After living in Waukesha almost all of our married lives, John and I decided to retire to the northwoods.  We live on Stormy Lake in the town of Conover which is about 12 miles north of Eagle River.  We love the laid back life style and beautiful lakes and forests.
John likes to fish, garden and cut and split wood.  My hobbies are a lot more sedentary--gardening, reading and the occasional shopping trip.  
We are rather computer illiterate so we can't submit a recent picture, but we are looking forward to seeing many of you at the reunion.

From Kenneth:

Kenneth W Reichert, Sr

 

I graduated from Carroll College in 1962, and played varsity basketball all four years.  I married Phyllis Fuller (1957) and we had three children:  Dr. Ken Reichert II, Elain Mahn, and Lynne Reichert (deceased.)  We have seven grandchildren.

 

I taught math and was department chair at Arrowhead High School from 1962-2008.  I also coached football for 12 years.

 

I earned an M.S. degree in 1969, and also earned 30 credits in a Ph.D. program before “dropping out.”

 

I have also been a professional artist painting in acrylics and focusing recently on Waukesha historical landmark scenes.  I have had many paintings sold and displayed at local businesses, churches, city hall, and schools.  (Two are displayed at Waukesha South High School.)

 

I was elected to the Waukesha South “Wall of Fame” in 2006.

 

I retired completely from teaching at Arrowhead in 2008 after 46 years, the last 8 of which were half-time.

 

Phyllis and I live in Gib and Sally Larson’s old house on East Roberta.  I will now use the extra time to paint, play the piano, and write books.

From Nancy:
When I left Waukesha for college in the fall of 1958, I took a lot of skills and interest with me.  First, I took my eagerness and as much of my stuff as could be packed around my parents and me in the family's Ford station wagon.  We were headed to Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. I had long wanted to live in what I considered to be the sophisticated East and I wanted to get away from family and hometown influences.  I also took with me the confusion many females felt at that time between the total dedication to completing a four-year college curriculum and finding a suitable man to marry.

The oldest of six children, I had taken in my mother's mantra for her three daughters, "Always be more than just a wife and mother."  A traditionalist for a long time, it took years for me to become in tune with the societal changes of the sixties and seventies.  I am the only one of the six without a college degree.  I finished two years at Bucknell, then married and transferred to Temple University in Philadelphia for my junior year.

The fourth year?  I never registered because I was pregnant with my first child.  I divorced twice and was widowed in 1985.   I have three living adult daughters, each eight years apart, and two adult stepchildren.  My second daughter died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in 1968.  With the exception of one year, I have lived in Pennsylvania since 1958.

I took my curiosity and my writing and photography skills with me.  I honed them as a volunteer publicist for various non-profit organizations; as a journalist-photographer for a bi-weekly newspaper, and as a public relations specialist for a public school district.  I also was a researcher, author, editor, and production supervisor for two history books about Malvern, Pennsylvania, and a contributor of journal entries and poems to a nationally published anthology, When a Lifemate Dies.

Today I belong to a writer's group, working on personal projects and the manuscript for a third book about Malvern.  I had a lot of fun as a sports photographer for the newspaper. While I took some really neat shots, I never did learn enough about any sport in order to write  a story.  But, I'm still a great spectator of the Olympics, NASCAR,  and pro football, golf, and tennis.

I took along my love of Broadway musicals.  That passion was certainly enhanced when a group of guys from our class described their adventurous trip to New York during senior year to see the original production of West Side Story.  In recent years, I went to New York to see Monty Python's Spamalot and Jonathan Larson's RENT.

I also took my interest in public service, which came from my parents.  On the service sidelines now, I have become a political junkie.  I never lost my love of passenger trains, a gift from my paternal grandmother.  My greatest experience was a  round-trip from the Philadelphia suburbs to Oakland, California.  My maternal grandmother taught me to knit, a lifelong activity that soothes me and justifies a lot of movie and TV time.  Last, but not least, I still read a lot of newspapers, magazines, fiction, and non-fiction.

Here's to the next fifty years!
