Enjoyed connecting with a few of you at the 50th. Because I have liked the life summaries some of you have submitted, I’ll make an attempt...I became a Christian at age seven and walked in close relationship with Jesus until about age twelve when I began to view faith expression as a barrier to the peer relationships I desired so much as an adolescent. I started to behave in ways almost opposite to my Christian faith. I initiated use of alcohol at age 13 and added drugs during high school. I barely graduated high school and was only able to enter college on a resident grant in the State of Kansas on probation. I failed after three semesters and dropped out. I thought I was dumb and didn’t connect it with the brain damage caused by my alcohol and drug use. At age 18 I abandoned my Christian faith with conscious intent...big mistake. By age 30 the life I had embraced destroyed my vision and kidneys secondary to uncontrolled, Type 1 diabetes. I “lost” not only my vision, but everything that had become familiar. I experienced a “come to Jesus” moment, quite literally (He remained faithful). Even though I lost my natural vision, my spiritual vision was restored. I went back to school and discovered I wasn’t so dumb as I had thought. I managed to jam 10 years of education into 15 years and completed a Ph.D. In Counseling Psychology. I married a beautiful woman, inside and out, with whom i’ve been married now for 32 years. I started working at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center during my Internship and have continued with the VA to this time. I currently serve as Program Manager of Mental Health services in Primary Care at the Kansas City VA. My life continues to be characterized by successes AND failures, but God’s love remains constant (for all of us).

Looking forward to seeing everyone again! But I've noticed that it is becoming more difficult to recognize and be recognized as the kid we once were. So I'll be looking for the kids I once knew through the adults we have become....Send Greg a Message

Hi, all--I went from nerd to freak soon after high school, and enjoyed an exciting six or eight years in Lawrence. I eventually married my wife of 31 years, Lynette: we have two daughters, one married with two great kids, the other working and having a great time in Chicago. I was a Criminal Court Judge in Johnson County for 20 years, but now retired. I spend time with my kids and grandkids, travel some, and flyfish when I can.

After teaching in the K.C. area for four years I landed in Ohio in 1976 and have been here ever since. I am currently the entire counseling department for a tiny little university in Urbana, OH and love what I do--lots of variety. I have two grown children, Jay - 29 and Dana - 28, both married and living in Dayton, and one grandchild, Sophia - 5 mo. I learned at earlier reunions that I am terrible at recognizing people, so please be gentle with my failing mind and remind me who you are!

We have two children and four grandchildren. Pictured are Missy (my daughter in law), Matty (granddaughter) and me.

Went to KU, taught school in Topeka, then worked for ATSF and now BNSF Rwy for over 30 years. Still don't know what I want to be when I grow up? I used to be the "young guy" -- now I'm the "old fart" and looking forward to retirement and not being on call.
