Classmates Bio
40 years have past since we graduated, so you can bet we don't look the same as we did back in high school. Some of us have more/less pounds, or less hair, or just look totaly different all together. This page will remind everyone of what we looked like way back when and the way we look now, as well as an update of where we are at in life. Hopefully this page will allow everyone to catch up before the make up reunion in "2021".

| Comment: I have three children two boys 20 and 13 and a girl 9. All have or are going to the same schools I did and some had or have some of the teachers we did. Don't know if that's good or bad! I work in travel and love going all over the world for my job, and sending others to adventures for fun or work. We also love to camp and do a lot of it all over the United States. I've been lucky enough to stay in contact with Karen Marquardt over all these years, and look forward to her reunion | |

| Comment: Looking forward to seeing all people you can find. I have been married for 16 years to my wife Tracy who also went to Germantown, I have 2 wonderful daughters my oldest is 17 and from knowing me you would never believe it but she is a honor student and speaks both Spanish and English, I also have a wonderful 9 year old daughter whom does equally as well. (See those back packs those kids carry now, we would have never carried them back in the day) I have been an operating engineer with the local 139 since I graduated high school and enjoy my work. I also spent 11 years in the armed forces, I divided my time there between the Air Force first, then I went into the Army. I can’t believe 30 years is coming up. WOW! See you all soon. If anyone wants to email me feel free to at t_merkel@sbcglobal.net. Take Care! | |

| Comment: I blew off...I mean I was too busy to make it to the 25th reunion. Now I am sort of sorry that I missed it. I am married to Kurt...22 years this month, and have four children. I teach piano in the area and have just added a little "cutie" named Emma Stadler...yep Tracey and Dan's little girl. My twin sons have become very good friends with Rich Vahallec's son...strange how things work out after 25 years! God's Blessings! Donna | |
