It is not unusual for Ames High School to have several students with the same last name at graduation. Almost every graduating class has at least one set of twins, and some classes graduate several sets of twins. The AHS Class of 1977 was a unique class, however. Not only did three students share the same last name--Waggoner--but the three students also shared the same date of birth. Yes, David, Julia and Stephanie were, and still are, triplets. And as far as we know, they are the only set of triplets to graduate from Ames High School. So we decided to see what they have done since graduation.. With a big assist from Julia, we received the following resumes from each of them.
