Since my last update in 2017, Ron and I celebrated our 53rd wedding anniversary this past January 2020. We have added some great grandchildren since then, bringing our total to 4. Our granddaughter, Stephanie has Brookie, age 8, Ryder, age 3 and Tesslynn, age 1 1/2. Our granddaughter, Paige has Reagan, age 1. They are our pride and joys. During this Covid-19, we have had to learn to do ZOOM, so we can all keep in touch. Ron is still with Fox N Hounds as door greeter and still shines shoes there also. Me...still retired and loving it. Still living in Normal, IL and living in Ironwood Gardens as Ron's health doesn't permit him to mow or do snow removal due to heart issues. But he is doing great. We have great neighbors, so we are enjoying life. UPDATE: We are now expecting 2 new great grandchildren in late December or early January. Our daughter's middle daughter, Darien and her husband are having TWINS!!! One is a boy and one is a girl!! How lucky can we get?!! SO EXCITED!!!
The one thing that remains in my mind is it seemed every morning my homeroom class would check to see whether or not I was wearing Ron's class ring Ha, ha....the joke was on them. We have been married 50 years....and not one time has my wedding ring been off. (Mornings were just not Ron's best time back then.) Now he is a morning person and me, not so much, especially after retiring.
I can remember in my Freshman year worrying about remembering my combination to my locker over Christmas break....so I ended up writing it down in my notebook!! :)

Lynn was a super nice guy. We went to grade school on up together. Quiet and unassuming, but very friendly. I talked to him shortly before his wife died. She and Ron, my husband were in the ER across from each other. Very sad for an old friend to pass!!

I know I will forget, so I am going to wish you a Happy Birthday 2 weeks early. I don't check in often enough, :(
I am so sorry to hear that Mike passed away. I don't get into our site very often and realize is has been several years since he passed. Mike was one of the kindest guys in our class...always ready to answer a question if you needed help. So intelligent and it sounds like he led a wonderful life personally and professionally. I am sure he is missed by everyone who knew him.
Norma was a good friend from grade school through high school. I was at her house a lot in our grade school and Jr High years and knew both her mother and father....they were all good people!! I remember when Ron and I got married back in '67 Norma was at our wedding, 9" of snow and all. She gave us a lovely quilt that we had and used until just a few years ago. By then it had some holes in it as it had withstood many years of use. God Bless You, Norma.....you are missed!!! Rae

Hi Bucky....just thought I would stop by to say hello and hope all is well with you. Rae Ann Robb Geske.
Hi Judy! It sounds like you have lived a wonderful God filled life. I can think of no better way to live our lives. I am sorry to hear you are now in a wheelchair, but I know that isn't stopping you from living your life for God Blessings to you, my friend! Rae Ann Robb Geske.
Happy Birthday
