Well, where does one start. Life has been great. I moved to Omaha in 1988 and have been working in the healthcare industry since. I married Dan Decker in 97 and in 2001 we were blessed with a daughter Carley. We keep very busy with her activities, church and friends. Dan and I managed to make it back to Jamaica for our 10 year anniversary! I also have 2 step sons that are grown and out on their own. I work for MLS Group of Companies as a Sales/Marketing Rep and have the midwest territory.
This summer I have spent time with Carley at the pool and reading! It was great seeing classmates at the all school reunion. I am l0oking forward to the 30 year reunion!!

Hi everyone! WHEW 25 years go by fast, doesn't it?!  It seems like its been a whirlwind since we all graduated. I have been divorced for 12 years after 10 year of marriage.  The good thing to come out of that were 2 stepsons who I still keep in touch with and a goddaughter & grandson who I completely adore. In 1992 I moved to Lincoln.  I worked for the Lincoln Journal Star newspaper for 6 years in the classified ad department.  From there I went to temp agency where I gained great Human Resource knowledge.  My last year in Lincoln I was the Human Resource Manager for a company that took care of the developmentally disabled. In 2004 I moved Sidney, NE, where I lived with my brother and his famly & worked for Cabela's for 1 1/2 years.  While there I came home to McCook almost every weekend, trying to get a job so I could move home.  Unfortunately, I lucked out in that department.  In November of 2006, I had a friend who let me move in with her in McCook and I fell into the bartending job I have now at Sarge's.  After 25 years of working "real" full-time, 8-5 jobs, this has turned out to be a great thing.  I only work 3 nights a week. This leaves my days free to be at home, where I live with my fiancee, Robert "Bob" Hall, originally from Broken Bow, NE.  We raise and breed Weimaraners, of which we have 6, 2 males and 4 females (check out our website at www.weimtimekennels.com).  Plus we have a bunch of chickens, a garden and a home that I take care of.  I'm also gaining 4 stepdaughters (ages 20, 18, 15 & 12) who are really great girls! For me, McCook is WAY better at 40 than it was at 20!  I have re-connected with
