I am currently living in Alabama with my
husband and 16-year-old grandson. I have 4 grandchildren and 1
great-granddaughter. Most of my family still lives in mason City. I
am a home health RN, so I travel all over Birmingham taking care of
people.
Not much else to say - getting old, not doing anything
interesting. I mostly just work when I'm not sleeping. Does anyone
else go to bed at 8:30 p.m.? I have turned into my parents, who are
both still alive. Life is funny, don't you think?

After
graduation I attended Hawkeye Institute of Technology in Waterloo for dental
hygiene, graduating in 1980.I worked for a dental office in Dubuque for almost a year before I married my husband, Doug Arjes who is from Allison, Iowa and graduated from the University of Iowa Dental School in 1978. We married May 2, 1981 and he and I practiced together at his dental office in Waterloo, Iowa.
In 1985 our first son Sam was born. In 1989 our second son Michael was born. In the summer of 1993 we moved to Kansas City to join the practice of good friends in Gladstone, MO. We have lived in Kansas City since.
We have two darling daughters-in-law, Fiona (Sam) and Reese (Michael). We have one grandson Huxley, 8 years old. He is the son of Michael and Reese and is the apple of our eye that is for sure! Doug and I now go by the proud names of “Grammie” and “Pup-Pup”!
As an interesting side note, my husband’s brother Craig has a son named Dan Arjes and he was assistant principal at MCHS for several years and now is the principal of Roosevelt Elementary School - very proud of our nephew! A few months ago, I was also blown away to find out after some 30 + years of marriage, that classmate Scott Bowman is a cousin to Dan Arjes! He is related by marriage to Dan’s mom Janet. Small world!
As far as high school memories, I enjoyed all of you, my friends and classmates, orchestra, my teachers. Occasionally, I think of how fun it would be to do like what Kathleen Turner did in the movie Peggy Sue Got Married and go back to high school for a few days - I for one would love that!
Look forward to seeing everyone at the reunion. It is also a special weekend as we will be celebrating the 60th wedding anniversary of my folks, Harold and Joyce Hopp.

I have been a Vampire Walmartian for the last
20 or so years which has served to support my ministry habit. Actually it
supported me while I indulged said habit.
At some point I realized I had my two girls
and two boys. They just happened to be canine instead of human. I guess I
should have been more specific in my request.
My ex husband died almost five years ago. No,
I didn't do it.
I have been able to get back to traveling,
meeting great people wherever I go.
My church voted to close two years ago so I
have spent some time regrouping and discerning what comes next.
In the meantime I am enjoying solo traveling
and my new found role as a cougar.
All in all I find this adventure we call life
gets better and better. Enjoy the journey.
Oh and RevItUp would be my derby name if I
knew how to skate.
