Wife:  Margaret (Land, who graduated CGHS in 1958 as well)

Terry and Margaret have been enjoying each other?s company after several months of being apart.  Margaret had been in Las Vegas taking care of her granddaughter, Hannah, who is 10 years old.  Her mother was in Seattle taking care of personal business.  This was followed by both daughters (Gretchen and Greta) and their families relocating to Seattle.  Gretchen from Las Vegas and Greta from Ashland.  They live just 2 miles from each other and are committed to helping each other as they both are adjusting to balancing new jobs with their family responsibilities.  We helped them with the moving process and with settling into their new homes.  While Margaret was there, Greta gave birth to her third child, Lucy, Terry and Margaret?s fifth grandchild!  Elaine was thrilled to be able to help Greta and to get better acquainted with Lucy?s siblings, Liam, age 4 and Lily, age 2.  They had many trips to nearby parks, read lots of books, acted out favorite stories including Grandma?s encounter with a big bear in the woods behind their house, and of course, played hide and go seek?  Hannah, age 20, joined a softball team so they all offered lots of support and encouragement with batting, catching and throwing.

Meanwhile, back at their abode in Yoncalla, Terry was building fences, mowing grass, fixing the tractor and their vehicles and cleaning out the barn and garage.  An ongoing saga that may last their lifetimes!  In addition to all those outdoor manly chores, he was also doing all the household tasks that the little lady of the house normally does.  So, needless to say, he was glad to have Margaret back.

The first thing they did after her return was to go to their oldest granddaughter?s tennis match in Corvallis.  Libby and her partner played against 2 girls who defeated them last year.  It was an intense, closely matched game.  This time, Libby and her partner won!  Sweet!  This fall, she will be going to the University of Portland, She aspires to be a doctor and make lots of money!

Son, Andy, outdid himself with challenges and adventure this year.  After running a marathon last fall, he decided to see what else he could accomplish before he gets too elderly.  In February, he did the Great Nordeen, a 37k skater-ski race in April, re ran the Eugene half-marathon.  In May, Andy competed in the Bent Pole Pedal Paddle.  The PPP is a six-leg race beginning at Mt. Bachelor with a downhill ski race, a 7k skate ski race, followed by a 22-mile bike ride into Bend, then a 10k run, a mile-and-a-half paddle up and down the Deschutes, finishing with a 300m sprint to the finish line.  Many people do this race as part of a team.  With his wife, Karen and his daughter, Libby and her boyfriend, Harry as his support crew, he finished all six legs in a respectable 2 hours, 39 minutes.  Andy crewed for a week in the Thistle nationals, then, still yearning for more, he fulfilled a lifelong dream by sailing across the Pacific on a 39-foot sailboat with a friend and two other crew members.  They were all relieved he survived his 45th year!

As you can see, Terry and Margaret live vicariously through their kids and grandkids!  Their humble pursuit this year will be to walk, hike, exercise and work on their garden.  Also, hopefully, some camping and a little biking and kayaking.  They are looking forward to the 50th class reunion and Old Schoolmates dinner and induction.

Husband:  Tom (Munroe, Graduated CGHS in 1957)

Elaine and Tom keep very busy with volunteer work.  They belong to the local Genealogy Society, Historical Society, and the Prospectors and Golddiggers.  Tim is a 2nd year City Councilor.

Their daughter, Michele, is the bookkeeper for Brad?s Chevrolet in Cottage Grove.  Their daughter, Jorday just graduated from CG High School and her son is in the Navy aboard The Blue Ridge, home port Japan.

Their daughter, Tammy, and Stuart Werner have been married for 5 years and live in Creswell.  He is a Eugene postman and she is an Adjudicator for the State Employment Department.

They were able to take a wonderful 3-month vacation, traveling with their 5th wheel back to Elaine?s birthplace in Minnesota.  While there, they were surrounded by 2 tornadoes and golf ball size hail.  They won?t forget that place.  Their favorite place was Yellowstone Park.  They are hopeful to have a lot more traveling in their future.

Annette says that life is so full of changes . . . she loves rainbows and is always reminded that it takes "the good and the not-so-good" to create the beautiful rainbows!  One thing, though, that never changes is her appreciation and love for her family and friends!!

As of the 50th high school reunion, Annette enjoys being back in Eugene and lives about four miles from Darla and her family, so she gets to enjoy them on a daily basis.  Being a Hospice Volunteer, volunteering on the Mom Baby Unit at Sacred Heart Hospital, singing with a Senior Choir (who performs at facilities three to four times a week and have practice on Fridays), serving on the Homeowner's Association Board, being in church activities, learning Yoga, attending Red Hat Society, doing "random acts of kindness" . . . keeps her busy.  She may be tired at the end of the day, but has made a positive difference in the lives of other people including hers.

Her family:

Derek (son) and Debbie have lived in Phoenix, AZ for three years and both are busy with their jobs and with three grand dogs (Bichons), Cheech, Buddy, and Dizzle.  In addition, they are active in the Bichon Small Paws Rescue Organization (www.smallpawsrescue.org); they foster dogs and help find permanent homes for the dogs.  Debbie is also taking classes at night.

Darla (daughter), Rob, Chad and Ryan are leading busy lives, too.  Rob and Darla work and are active parents in all of the boys' activities.  Darla too is taking classes at night.  Grand dogs are Cosmo and Jack (Shitzu and Poodle mix).

Chad is 13 years old and is in eighth grade (straight A student!).  He completed his First Degree Black Belt in Karate December '06.  Fall of '07, he played football; his team played on the college fields at the U of O and OSU.  What fun!  He is active in the church, is involved with Confirmation Class, sings in two choirs at the school, served on the Peer Teen Court, is an avid reader (and he remembers everything he reads!).  He is interested in becoming an attorney. 

Ryan is 10 years old and in fourth grade (straight A student!).  He will earn his Karate Conditional Black Belt Degree in 2008 and will complete the Degree in 2009.  He was Water Boy for Chad?s football team and he did an excellent job?  Ryan will be playing basketball, too.  Ryan is an excellent reader but he prefers to work with his hands.  Since the age of two years, he has been reading Lego diagrams and building very complicated kits; he uses the computer to create his own designs.  He is interested in becoming an architect.

Here are a couple things to ponder:

?The happiest people don?t necessarily have the best of everything.  They just make the best of everything they have.?

?Life isn?t about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.?
