Claudia Houdek Lakey here. I’m so sorry I was unable to come to the reunion –I was preparing for upcoming back surgery. Bummer!!
Are you putting something together about each person? If so, I can give you a short history of what I’ve done and where I’ve been for 50 years!! Do you want photos? See attached. Let me know if you want a short life synopsis.

I enjoyed seeing the photos already on the site 
and would appreciate your posting mine while people are looking at the reunion photos. I will send my ‘journey’ sketch later, as when I’m recovering from back surgery I’ll have time to write it. Such a good idea, such a great site. We, the class, are indebted to you, Barbara, Janet, Gayle, et al, who have been so instrumental in keeping us together.
Geri Conway Burnett said the reunion was awesome. I so wish I could have been there.
