Bios: Bonnie Spiller Stradley and Janis Puzuhanich Clarke
Bonnie Spiller Stradley: Curt and I have moved to the Beach (Long Beach Peninsula at Ocean Park, Washington). We retired in 2000, and we love the ocean.
We have 13 grandchildren---one more due in September. Our two kids are busy with these kids! Curt and I also became great-grandparents in April. Our oldest granddaughter is 19.
We are such a blessed family. We had five-generation pictures done with my mom and Curt's mom and dad.
Janis Puzuhanich Clarke: "Coming home" to Sandpoint and attending our 30th was transformational for me, and afterward, I made some major life change: resigned my stressful corporate commercial real estate career in L.A., moved back to the wide open spaces of Sheridan, Wyoming and enjoyed mending fences with my aging mom before she passed.
Did some traveling and several years later, I landed in Palm Desert, living year-round in my "winter" home.I'm still doing real estate, but it is totally different---residential: selling, buying, remodeling, flipping---and boarding my favorite dogs and doing administrative work for a glove importer.
A few years ago, I made a "new" connection with a longtime friend, Fred. He was the best man at my wedding in 1972, and we've been having more fun together ever since. Fred raised two girls and has a grandson, another on the way and two healthy, active and likable parents. So, I lucked out in the extended family department too.
Fred lives at the beach about two hours away, and we plan to retire together in a couple of years. We'll get a motor home and spend more time in all the places we love around the USA with our two pooches, Sadie and Skippy. For sure, we'll be around Sandpoint more.
Lesle (Oliver) and her husband Ed have a winter home just 12 minute from me in the desert. I love that we are still best buds and get to play together regularly.
Brother Gary Dunham can't make our reunion due to a family commitment. He is single and looking . . . anyone interested? He has aged Very Well, has a good job and a nice house in Tennessee, and still has an easy laugh. His email is GaryD37330@yahoo.com.
Can't wait to see all my old classmates. My years in Sandpoint are full of happy memories. Ask me about the "moon bow" in Yosemite last month.
