Kathryn Alsworth – Portland, OR INTRODUCTION What do you think your classmates would be most surprised to learn about you? I have no idea since it has been a long time since high school and I really don't remember what they knew before. How has the direction of your life changed since high school? I never thought that I would spend a lot of time in, of all places, Yugoslavia or that I would attend astrology conferences with all sorts of bizarre people (not in Yugoslavia) I didn't imagine that I might try mountain climbing or political campaigning. Obviously, my life has no fixed direction which is something I didn't know in high school. Do you have any high school memories you’d like to share? Marching band practice on Halloween night presided over by the notorious Bob Gillett. No one wanted to be there but Mr. G's wrath was legendary and attendance was mandatory. Gillett always picked complicated routines which we messed up. Too bad he didn't keep it simple. Eggs were thrown, after all it was Halloween. PRESENTLY Are you retired (or anticipating retiring)? Retired From what vocation are you retired (or anticipate retiring from)? I retired from my job which involved working in various capacities for the City of Portland. When did (or will) you retire? I retired in 2017 which was later than I had planned but worth the wait. FAMILY What is your family situation (significant other, children, grandchildren, dogs, cats, birds, fish)? I am married with one daughter, one cat and 3 chickens. Spouse/Significant Other: Michael Spriniker Did he/she attend MHS? No How did you meet? We met at Oregon State University where we were living in the same dormitory, his room was below mine and when I dumped my coffee out the window he would stick his head out and say "Hey!!" WHAT DID YOU DECIDE TO DO AFTER HIGH SCHOOL? I went to college and after graduation I moved to Portland and got married a year later. Michael had transferred to Reed College so I decided to figure out what I wanted to do when I grew up in a Portland context rather than try my luck at whatever in California. Needless to say, Portland grew on me. PROFESSIONAL AND WORK EXPERIENCES What did/do you do for a living? For a while I was working as an analyst at Tektronix but after the great 1981 layoffs, I took some time off when my daughter was young and then began working for the City of Portland. LEISURE TIME ACTIVITIES In the last five years till now, how (did/do) you spend your free time? Vacations were spent traveling, but while I was working, I was the Communications Editor for our union and wrote articles for Labor Press. I also went to several national conventions and political workshops and participated in the Women's March in Washington DC. What travels have you done (work/pleasure)? I have travelled all over the world but many of my trips involved an activity. I bicycled from London to Athens, skied in Austria, Switzerland, and Sarajevo and went to Australia as part of a women's dragon boat team. Spontaneity is what I enjoy, I’m not really crazy about schedules and reservations but I do like airbnb. Read any good books lately? The Dinner by Herman Koch. This book starts out with a amusingly cynical but relatable narrator who has interesting views on his family and society in general but morphs into something totally unexpected and rather horrifying. What gives meaning to your life and makes you look forward to tomorrow? I do like to travel and am always planning some sort of trip. I have always lived for the present and can enjoy the here and now without too much thought of past disappointments. Travel makes you realize that people are people, we have more in common than not. I enjoy the natural world which provides enough meaning for a lifetime. THINGS YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD US HAD WE ASKED THE RIGHT QUESTIONS? What question should we have asked? What are some ridiculous reasons for coming to your 50th high school class reunion? What is your answer to the question? I took a wrong turn off I-5 and, while taking a shortcut I stopped to use the restroom at the casino and voila my class reunion.

Ted Cookson – Hollywood, Florida INTRODUCTION What do you think your classmates would be most surprised to learn about you? I have been a vegetarian for nearly 27 years. I have never owned a house nor a car. I lived overseas for 35 years. Between 1974 and 2002 I visited all 193 United Nations countries. (The final two were Somalia and Afghanistan in 2002.) How has the direction of your life changed since high school? Perhaps I might have been expected to pursue a science career based on my affinity for science and math in high school. However, it seems that I was starving for exposure to the social sciences and humanities as I took no math and only a single required science course (astronomy) in college. I was eager to have a junior year abroad. However, to do so, I had to be a language major. Since three years of high school Latin was insufficient to allow me to pass the college foreign language exemption exam, I decided to try one year of Arabic on a lark because the script looked interesting. In the end I wound up majoring in Arabic and Middle East studies and living and working in the Middle East for 34 years. Do you have any high school memories you’d like to share? While many classmates seemed eager to finish high school, I recall thinking, and saying, that we shouldn't be in any hurry to leave as those days were going to be one of the best times of our lives. PRESENTLY Are you retired (or anticipating retiring)? Yes, I am retired. From what vocation are you retired (or anticipate retiring from)? During my career I worked in commercial banking (7 years) and travel agency management (27 years). When did (or will) you retire? The choking off of tourism to Egypt following the Egyptian revolution of 2011 had a dramatic effect on retail travel agencies in Cairo. When, two years later, I still could see no light at the end of the tunnel, I decided to retire and begin living full- time with my significant other of 16 years (now 23 years) in Hollywood, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. FAMILY What is your family situation (significant other, children, grandchildren, dogs, cats, birds, fish)? I never wanted children and don't have any. I married Ellen Hochman, my business school girlfriend in 1981 so that she could obtain a residence visa to join me in Saudi Arabia. Although the marriage lasted only six years, we still remain good friends. My significant other has three adult daughters who all live in South Florida within an hour of us. We keep no pets nor house plants. Spouse/Significant Other Barbara Stein-Ball Did he/she attend MHS? No How did you meet? Barbara attended Miami Beach High School in Miami Beach, FL. She has been a travel agent for 40 years. In 1997, a common travel agent friend organized a rare group tour to Iran and invited both of us to join. Arriving separately from Cairo, I met the group in Tehran where Barbara and I happened to sit next to one another on the tour bus. The chemistry between us was instant. WHAT DID YOU DECIDE TO DO AFTER HIGH SCHOOL? I always loved being a student but could never imagine myself being a teacher. So, although I wound up going to grad school for four years, it never made sense to pursue a doctorate. I spent three years as an undergrad at Harvard College in Cambridge, MA, taking my junior year abroad at The American University in Cairo, Egypt (AUC). After receiving my AB, I was awarded a graduate fellowship to attend a 12- month intensive Arabic training program at the Center for Arabic Study Abroad at AUC. Then I obtained an MA in Middle Eastern politics at the School of Oriental and African Studies of the University of London, England. Having enjoyed the expatriate life while studying overseas for three years, I decided that I wanted to work abroad too. Since I couldn't seem to land such a position with my specialized educational credentials alone, I spent two additional years pursuing an BA in finance at the University Chicago. PROFESSIONAL AND WORK EXPERIENCES What did/do you do for a living? I worked in correspondent banking for Chemical Bank on Wall Street for three years (1978-1981) before being hired away by Saudi Arabia's largest bank. I worked for the National Commercial Bank doing commercial lending in Riyadh for four years (1981-1985). In 1986 I began my travel career in Cairo where I managed a retail travel agency in an upscale bedroom suburb until 2013. LEISURE TIME ACTIVITIES In the last five years till now, how (did/do) you spend your free time? Barbara and I began hosting groups on cruise ships for the Virtuoso Travel Consortium in 1999. Over the last two decades we have served as cruise group hosts for 1,699 days. Since 2011 we have hosted nine Virtuoso groups on world cruises of from 74 to 124 days, the average world cruise length being 95 days. Between cruising and domestic fly/drive trips to visit US national parks and national monuments, we have spent roughly six months traveling during each of the past five years. Please refer to www.tinyurl.com/tcookson for additional information. What travels have you done (work/pleasure)? Since the 1990's I have been trying to visit all the countries and territories on the list of the Travelers Century Club (TCC) of Los Angeles (https://travelerscenturyclub.org/countries-and-territories). Revised bi-annually, the club's list currently includes 327 destinations, of which I have traveled to 321. I have yet to visit the recently- added Socotra (a Yemini island) and South Georgia (a British sub-Antarctic island) plus the national claims of Australia, New Zealand, France and Norway in Antarctica. It was in working to complete the TCC list that I happened to visit every United Nations country by 2002. Having accomplished so much international travel, after a 2004 road trip through Arizona, I decided to try to visit every US national park and national monument. Like the TCC list, these goals are moving targets as new parks and monuments are established and others are downgraded from time to time. As of early September 2019, I've been to 57 of the 61 national parks and am missing only the four most remote parks in Alaska. So far, I've also made it to 117 of the 129 national monuments. I've yet to see: four in Alaska, two of which were created this year; one in St. Croix, USVI; four in California, Utah and Mississippi, all of which were just declared this year; and three marine national monuments located deep in the Atlantic and Pacific which I never intend to visit. Read any good books lately? Unfortunately, the dog ate my homework. What gives meaning to your life and makes you look forward to tomorrow? Barbara and I live to travel. Over the course of my journeys I have received such incredible hospitality and the more I travel, the more I learn. Perhaps Anthony Bourdain said it best: "Travel isn't always pretty. It isn't always comfortable. Sometimes, it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that's okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind." THINGS YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD US HAD WE ASKED THE RIGHT QUESTIONS? What question should we have asked? 1) What have you published? a. Over 100 travel articles between 1986 and 2013 b. Dozens of articles in philatelic society journals about Pitcairn island and the Bounty saga, and travel to the South Atlantic islands of Ascension, St. Helena and Tristan da Cunha c. A Diary of the Final Cruise of the RMS St. Helena to Tristan da Cuna January 15-28, 2004 (2005) d. Pitcairn Islands and the Bounty Saga - Institutions and Monuments (Amazon ebook, 2012) 2) How do you define "success"? In recent years, I've come to understand that success is not achieved by continually striving for more. Rather, it is attained by learning to be satisfied by learning to be satisfied with what one already has. Diane (Coon) Rehwoldt – Gresham, Oregon INTRODUCTION How has the direction of your life changed since high school? I got married at 23, started a family at 26. We have two children and moved from Coos Bay to the big city of Portland in 1985. Do you have any high school memories you’d like to share?

Our intelligent and ever-so-big cat, Schotze at 17, never returned home one day. We are now petless. Spouse/Significant Other: Cliff Rehwoldt Did he/she attend MHS? Yes How did you meet? We met through our parents. I lost my dad to cancer when I was little. My mother remarried in 1966 to Herm Rehwoldt, who had been teaching at MHS for several years. He had a son, Cliff, who was in the Navy at the time. I met him when he arrived home in 1969. But not until 1972 did we catch each other’s eye and fall in love. In 1973, we got married. Yes, both of our parents were pretty darn happy about it. WHAT DID YOU DECIDE TO DO AFTER HIGH SCHOOL? I went to OSU for one year thinking I wanted to be a music teacher, but discovered I really liked office work. So I went to study business and secretarial science, first at SWOCC, then moved to Albany with a girlfriend and attended Linn Benton for a couple of terms, and then moved to Portland with another girlfriend where I finished school at Portland Community College. PROFESSIONAL AND WORK EXPERIENCES What did/do you do for a living? We stayed in Coos Bay/North Bend area for 12 years, while my husband taught at MHS. I worked first at Nasburg-Eastburn Insurance. Then was hired at Bay Area Hospital as an Administrative Assistant for the Administrator. After becoming pregnant with our first child, Kimberly, I didn't return to work until 2 years after the birth of our second child, John. I applied and was hired to work as an office manager at the Coos Bay Public Library. Then in 1985, we moved to Portland, and in 1986, I was hired as an Administrative Assistant for an adolescent day treatment center in North Portland through the Center for Community Mental Health (CCMH) - Tio Nicks. That agency went through a merge in about 2000 to became Tualatin Valley Centers. A year later the agency went through a name change to LifeWorks NW. I worked through all of this for nearly 30 years. I feel very lucky, because I totally loved all of the jobs I held and the people I worked with. LEISURE TIME ACTIVITIES In the last five years till now, how (did/do) you spend your free time? My husband and I have traveled many miles on our motorcycle. I also enjoy crafting and putting together photo albums. I collect antique dolls and belong to an antique doll collectors club.

He was hit in the crosswalk by a drunk driver and died from a massive head injury. He wanted my mother to take us kids back to Denmark, but she chose not to. She remarried and our stepfather adopted us. So, my last name became Marken. To this day I really wish I could remember something about him. I’ve seen what few pictures my mother had and my sister resembles him a lot. That is one reason my 3-week trip to Denmark meant so very much to me. I got meet all my “real” family.

Gayle (Schjoneman) Nothwang – Pleasant Hill, Oregon So many questions to answer, but I will give an overview of the highlights of my life. In high school, I had the thought that I was to be either a secretary or an airline stewardess (as they were called back then). I enrolled at SWOCC in the fall after high school graduation. At the same time, I met a wonderful guy (Len) from Coquille who had just finished his tour in the Marines and returned from Viet Nam. We got married in a couple of years and I never did pursue the stewardess career. At least between the two of us one of us had flown around the world! Len had a career with the US Forest Service so we lived in several remote areas in Oregon including Powers, Roseburg, Ukiah (population 300) and eventually the McKenzie River area where we raised our two girls and lived for 27 years. And yes, I did become at secretary! I worked two school districts as a school office secretary and eventually a library assistant at McKenzie Elementary School in Vida, Oregon. I have been retired since 2003 and we have lived in a little 100-year-old farmhouse south of Springfield since 2004. Our family has been blessed with 8 grandchildren (5 boys and 3 girls) ages 5-17. We love to follow them around to their various and many sporting events, concerts and dance activities. We enjoy each one of the kids as the wonderful human beings that they are. Since Len’s retirement in 2002, we have traveled ad camped in our RV throughout the Western states and Canada. In 2017, I flew to Georgia to see a friend and we made a quick road trip from their Oregon covering 10 states in 10 days. We were still able to see many wonderful sites along the way. Our oldest daughter and I made a trip to Wisconsin in 2018 to visit all of our aunts, uncles, and cousins. Len and I hope to do more traveling in the near future as there are still more places yet to discover and explore in this beautiful country of ours. In my spare time, I have dabbled in every craft project known to women, and have enjoyed gardening hiking, walking, white water river trips, and even hunting. Add to that, I have participated in Bible studies, Vacation Bible School, and church choir for years. Life has been fun and fulfilling even with life’s challenges. I have chosen to appreciate all of it. My family gives me joy and my Christian faith and hope in Jesus Christ give me meaning to my life and makes me not only look forward to each day, but also to eternity. Every day is a blessing and I am so grateful for the life I have been given.
