Bios: Andrea Balch Boyle, Lorraine Sharp Davis
Good Morning on this beautiful day after the Fourth. The "ooh's and ahh's" for Sandpoint's fireworks show at City Beach were well-earned by those who orchestrated a fantastic aerial presentation last night. We sat in our living room here on Great Northern Road and cheered for nearly half an hour at the bigger, better-than-ever show.
Again, the broken record of persuasion will continue to spin: please plan to come to the reunion and send in that registration. The more the merrier.
If you're enjoying the bios and would like to have yours included---even if you didn't send one with your registration or if you cannot make it to the reunion. More than anything, we'd love to see you, but we'll be happy to read about you too. Send blog information and bios to me at: malove@imbris.net.
Now for today's bios:
Andrea Balch Boyle: The last reunion I attended was in 1975. Since then, we lived in Jakarta, Indonesia, for three years and then moved to Ojai, California, in 1978, and have lived here ever since. I have worked as an escrow officer for the past 27 years and hold designations as certified senior escrow officer and certified estrow instructor.
My husband, Jerry, wrote a book called Apache Sunrise, which was published by Random House in 1994.
Editor's note: For Vietnam vets among our classmates, this comes from Amazon.com---From the Inside Flap, "Whether rescuing downed crews, flying fiery combat missions during the invasion of Cambodia, or being shot down himself, Cobra pilot Jerry Boyle saw war quickly turn from a scary game of bullets, rockets, and grenades to a terrifying race against death where just a split second could turn a scene of breathtaking beauty into one of sheer hell. A true story of courage and dedication by a real American hero."
My two sons, Brent and Matt, both live in Spokane. Brent holds the world record in the squat in weight-lifting. I also have two stepsons and a stepdaughter and seven grandchildren.
We purchased a house in Marion, Mont., a couple of years ago. It's a log home on ten acres, and we plan to retire there.
Lorraine Davis Sharp: From high school, I entered the United States Navy for three years. I was stationed in Bainbridge, Maryland, for boot camp, then remained on the base for another year working on officers' records. I was transferred to North Island Naval Base in Coronado, Calif., for the next two years where I attended PNA School (Personnel Man School).
After my discharge, I married and subsequently moved to Tulsa, Okla. I lived there for the next 25 years. During that time, I had four daughters. the oldest, Sharron, is now 35; the second, Barbara, is 32; and a set of twins, Marsha and Ruth, are now 30. We divorced after 11-plus years of marriage. Some time later, I remarried but remained in Tulsa, Okla., until my husband's death in 1994.
I worked for Amerada Hess Oil Company among other industrial enterprises as well as being a professional industrial photographer. I chose to move to Oregon to be with my family and for a change in lifestyle, where, two years later, I married a biker-truck driver. For ten years, I have been in Hermiston, Ore., where I finally completed a Bachelor's Degree in Theology.
During this same time, I also worked as office manager for Agape House, a mission helping the homeless and less fortunate, and completed a three-year counselor-training program with Good Samaritan Counseling Ministries.
I recently divorced but have remained in Hermiston, working at Two Rivers Correctional Institution in Umatilla, Ore., as a Pathfinders Facilitator, teaching a cognitive reconstruction program (helping them correct some of their thinking).
