Comment:

Hi everyone, I can't believe some of you have retired already. Must be nice.

I still work as an Executive Chef currently for Penn National Gaming. I've been working at the Argosy Casino in Riverside Missouri for the past four years. I begin working at the new casino we are building at the Legens next to the Speedway in KCK starting in August. It should open early next year. Some of you retired folks need to come by and say hi when we get the casino open. :) 



I'm looking forward to seeing everyone next year.

Comment: I left Leavenworth the day after I graduated because my dad had already been transfered to PA. I have lived in PA, TX, NE & MO since HS. I lived in KCMO from '82 until last January. I have been in the banking field 30 years on the regulatory side as an examiner, consultant and Vice President in Community Development. I am now working in Community Development with BOKF here in Tulsa.
I just bought a house down here and have spent most of my time, especially weekends, fixing it up.

I have one daughter, Anissa who is married to an AF Major. I have 3 Grandgirls, Kaiden (7), Jordan (6) and Emma (3). I love being with them whenever I can. 

I also have 1 cat right now (down from a high of 5). I had to leave Buddy and Amber behind when I moved but they have great new person to boss around. Graycee has had a rough time adjusting to two moves in 6 months but she is coming around.

I spend my spare time doing volunteer work.
This will be my first reunion. I have reconnected with classmates on FaceBook and it will be interesting to see them again.
