L.A.T. Newsletter
by Brenda McCormick
May/June 2000
I've heard from and seen a number of people since the last
newsletter, so here's the scoop. Saturday, May 6th a group of people gathered
at the Morrison Inn to say farewell to Bev O'Toole, who is moving to Phoenix, Arizona.
Well wishers included Janet & Bob Haaker, Beth & Lew Visscher, Linda
Weber and hubby Craig, Cliff & Tracy Adcock (who have moved back to
Colorado), Denise & Jay Ehler, Dick Dana, Tommy Berry, Doug Kerner, Doug
& Pat Mast, Scott & Kelly Topham, Tony & LeAnn Jones and yours
truly and husband Jerry.
Cathy Patterson (she's at Commercial Bank as are Marcy Bellinger, Ann Warner
and Sherri Downing) passed along news of some Alma people that I'll share. Ray Simcox
is enjoying retirement and has been traveling, Jim Johnston is selling
insurance, Lala Threloff is at Gratiot
Community Hospital,
Deb Caszatt, Max Capen and Doreen Rockafellow are all at Central Michigan
University. Several
people are now working at the prisons in St. Louis,
Carolyn Struble, Lisa Price, Luci Christensen, Becky Peak
and Ann Sebring.
Denise Beisel reports she's done some consulting and lots of volunteer work
at her daughter's school. Cliff & Tracy Adcock as mentioned above
have moved back to Colorado.
Tracy is at
CH2M Hill and Cliff is the new General Manager with Willary Petroleum
Corporation. I'm told that Diane Garner recently took a cruise to
Antarctica, Sandi Freier is the office manager for a chiropractor in Golden,
Dave Graham is still with Cap Gemini and travels quite often, and Bill Bettag
is getting involved in international benefits for JD Edwards and had to travel
to Sydney, Australia (tough trip Bill!)
Bill was among the group that turned out for our February get-together as were
Kay Chavez and Tina Stahl, just to name a few of the not-so-regulars at those
events.
On a recent Saturday, I ran into Mike Brown and then Susan Richardson.
I also ran into Keith Lammey on the street in downtown Denver when he was in town to visit his
family a few months back. He's the Director of Credit for Allegiance
Healthcare Corporation in Albuquerque,
NM. Todd Staebell and I cross
paths on occasion at U S WEST and also Kris Ciccolo. Some of you
recently received this information from David Scarbeary but for those of you
newly added to the distribution, David is putting the newsletters out on a web
site and here's the address to access those
http://www.users.uswest.net/~dscar/LAT9910.htm. Steve Nicholson, Ron
Klump and Larry Holzman all checked in recently. Steve and Ron are both
still at Katy Industries. Larry is back with UDS and was moving from KC
to San Antonio
in early April. Some bad news to report as well this time around.
Bob Keppler told me that Mike King died in January from cancer of the
esophagus.
As I anxiously await the U S WEST/Qwest merger and fervently pray for a
severance package, I'm also planning my vacation, which means the next
newsletter will probably be in August. If there's lots to share and time
permits I may talk to you before that. If not, have a great summer and
keep in touch!
