Sue (Buchanan) Minette sent us an update in 2006. Excerpts: Most of my friends know me as Susan now. My husband, Dave, to whom I have been very happily married since 1970, and I have two children and one beautiful granddaughter. We live in San Diego and have both recently retired. After years of working for San Diego Unified School District as a middle school secretary I find it difficult not to have several projects going at the same time. I think all of those teacher, student, and parent interruptions have given me A.D.D. I spend a big chunk of my time as a volunteer Crisis Interventionist with the San Diego Police Department. It is rewarding to be able to "give back".

Sue Girard sent us an update in 2007. Sue is retired a year ago and am still living in Lake Oswego, Oregon. She is still swimming and cycling several times a week. She is on the board of an art gallery where she sells her art work and photography. She has visited Costa Rica, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and Egypt.

Sue Heikes: I have 4 sons and one daughter, my youngest son is the one I was pregnant with at our 10 year reunion and my daughter is the youngest, she was born in 1983. NO grandchildren yet. I am single again. I worked for a parole and probation office for the State of Oregon. I live in Beaverton, Oregon, in the metro Portland area. I want to hear all about your lives and adventures. (Sue lost her e-mail access when she retired. She says she'll get a PC one of these days.) (I keep here here because of her hair. Sue Girard, above, has the "Just part it in the middle" style that reached its full popularity with the hippies a few years after 1966. Sue Heikes has a "beehive", the most elegant of the teased styles. Teasing started in the late 1950's and was fading in popularity by 1966. Sue Pemberton, below, has a "flip", as does Susan Rode, down two. Susan Winn-Rogers, three down, has the inverse version of the flip. It is still around. So, in six pictures of women named Sue, you can see what hair was like in the mid 1960's. Those three styles account for 75% of the women's hair that year.)

Sue (Pemberton) Monteath: Hi Everyone! Gosh where has the time gone? I am still in beautiful Littleton Colorado, and have been since 1971. I have 6 great kids, 3 girls (married) 3 boys and 4 grandkids. They are spreading to Utah and Arizona quickly, but one son is still in college, and the other two are here. Tom passed away in January of 1997, and life made a 180 turn for which I could write a book. I am working as a school secretary in an elementary school and keep myself busy working with the youth group from our church, but mostly re-creating the landscaping of our home, and my new passion, flower arranging. Life never ceases to surprise me, but I am happy and making lemonade.

Susan (Rode) Morris lives in Berkeley and Nevada City. She and her late husband, Don, founded Donsuemor, Inc., The Madeleine Cookie Company. She is a classical soprano with 10 CDs to her credit. She has a son, Oliver, a budding scientist. Read more (including an updated picture) or send

Susan Kate Winn-Rogers sent us an update in January 2006. She uses "Kate" now. She is Director of the largest medical insurance company in the UK.

Ted Pack: I was tall, skinny, good at math, and had no social skills. I've gotten heavier. I graduated from UC Berkeley and became a Peace Corps Volunteer. I taught English in Sawawak, a state of Malaysia on the island of Borneo, for two years. I tried my hand at teaching in the USA, failed miserably, and went into computer programming. I liked it better. Students don't do what you ask them to do. Computers do.

While I was in Borneo I was almost tattooed by headhunters. In my later years I was partly responsible for the Y2K problem. As I've aged I've developed a dry wit and a puckish sense of humor. My wife and I now live in Hughson, California, 12 miles south-east of Modesto.

Our daughter is a Peace Corps volunteer in Peru. Following in her dad's footsteps to make the world a better place, one small step at a time. Peace Corps Volunteers change the world. They don't change much of it, nor do they change it much, but they change it. We're proud of her, but we try not to brag about her more than three times a day. When we visited her in 2008 she took this picture of me with her host family's eagle. People in Peru keep eagles the way people in the USA keep cats, to catch mice. Her host family has water from 5 am to 1 pm and electricity 24 hours a day. Their street isn't paved, but they use CFL's instead of incandescent lightbulbs, and there is an Internet cafe just 2 blocks up the road. My Webshots Album has 28 pictures from our 2008 trip to Peru, and over a hundred more from Sarawak, 1971 - 1972. (E-mail at bottom of page.)

Teddi (DiAngelo) Reilly: Living in San Diego, California. Married to Mike Reilly since 1966. We have 2 married sons, Richard (Lisa) and Shawn (Angela) who have provided us with our 7 grandchildren - 3 boys and 4 girls. Truly life is good!
