Marsha (Marinello) Heaston - Married the love of my life, Steve Heaston. Graduated from Fresno State with a BSN. Have 3 adult children, no grandchildren yet. Working in the field of Neonatal Intensive Care.

Martin Draznin - My wife Tacie and I have been living in Kalamazoo since 1991, the longest I've lived anywhere since I was a kid in Concord. I'm still essentially running a racket. I do academic medicine (Pediatric Endocrinology, don't ask) at a community medical school campus, lots of interesting kids to see, medical students and residents to teach, the odd article to publish so my colleagues at other institutions don't think I've retired or died, and, and, and, I get PAID for this! I'm still dabbling at amateur radio (N5TRF). Had to stop the Tae Kwon Do after getting to Third Dan and mostly teaching adult beginners for awhile, knees got too sore. Studied Samurai Sword for four years, until my shoulder wouldn't take it any more. Too bad, it's a great art. Beer brewing stopped when I finally got too much steam from boiling up into the over the range microwave, which died a spectacular and smoky death. Had a chance to hunt plains game in South Africa. It was eye opening, and mind-boggling in MANY ways. Our son just (2009) got married to a classmate from medical school, after he finishes his residency in emergency medicine and she finishes her post residency Master of Public Health they hope to work for the Indian Health Service in New Mexico for a few years. Life in Michigan has been pretty darn good to us. I wish the economy would improve, since life has gotten pretty bad for a whole lot of the families whose kids I work for!
