My two sons are now in High School, it is a kick to sub in High School now too. What fun we had and wonderful memories. Utah is a distant land to me but I am excited to come. I graduated from BYU, served a mission in Holland, had a 12 year career in  HR and politically active forever, married just after our 20 year reunion, lived in Long Island, Dallas and now Colorado Springs . Now in my old age I joined Sweet Adeline's, D.U.P. and stopped coloring my hair yesterday. I enjoy this age. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

From Ned:
I joined up with the planning committe meeting and it was great to meet up with old acquaintances and plan for a great weekend for all in September.

The Past 40 years has been an interesting ride.  I have been through 2 completely different occupations, one in customer service/management and one in technology/computers.  Along with the changes in jobs also changes in spouses.  I am now married to my soul mate, Colleen and just simply loving life, and as Doug said, "Playing".

Still playing guitar in two different bands, one with 6 doctors who work at Primary and Shriner's hospital and another that is doing mainly my original music,

Looking forward to seeing all of you in September

Catch us up on your life . . . :
After that graduation night together with Teresa McCormack (she was so kind to go to the dance, etc. with me) and the awful events of the Bobby Kennedy assassination, I decided to attend the University of Utah. I was pledged as a Sigma Chi fraternity and with the events of the world at the time, found the seriousness of the Vietnam era pressing heavily. I was fortunate to be chosen to served and LDS (Mormon) Mission to the incredible country of Italy. It was like the old "Brer Rabbit" concept of "oh please, don't throw me in that briar patch"....How could they have known what they were doing by sending me to Italy. The cradle of the re-birth of culture, art, music and life. Oh yes, don't forget the food..... Nevertheless, I served and came home with the Vietnam conflict still raging. I was fortunate to marry a beautiful girl from Olympus 1968 (I'm not a traitor), Barbara Berg. She's been the stability in my past 40 years. After marriage, I was sent to basic training for the Utah National Guard. I was in the 144th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (M.A.S.H.)as a senior stenographer (if you ever watch the movie/T.V. show, I was 'Radar'). It was truly an experience, not unlike the screen version. I was assigned to the Adjutant General School in Indianapolis, Indiana and actually was on active duty training for 14 months. (Should have just gone active). Came home and became a "Realtor" (some call real-turd)....and that has been the story for 37 years. As you can imagine, the ride has been up and down, but full of life, teaching, learning and happiness. Along the way, I opened a restaurant in the Crossroads Mall when it first opened (now it is only a brief memory in a moment of time in the Salt Lake landscape). It was a salad bar restaurant called "Lettuce Entertain You" and got out of the restaurant business within two years. I was retained by a company in the '80's to create a sales staff. Nytone Electronics was a professional photographic processing equipment company. I knew sales and enjoyed the relationship while still building and selling homes with Peterson Development. I left Peterson in the '90's and created Olson & Company Real Estate which then become BUILDING DYNAMICS Realty, where I am today. I have 4 beautiful grandchildren, 2 in Vermont and 2 close by. I actually became an active participant in the LDS Church with the mission to Italy (believe it or not) and have remained so with various opportunities to participate. I kept the old Mosrite guitar from the PoorBoys days. About 17 years ago, I decided I should renew that most enjoyable passtime of 'rock 'n roll'. I've been playing and singing in a cover band. My wife has been a great partner through all this. She has come to understand my intolerable A.D.H.D personality. Thank you Barbara..there's more, but we'll talk.....
Things I have learned since 1968 . . .:
I learn each morning. I learn that the life is an interesting ride each day. I don't know if I have any great perspective on life other than the truth of "perspective". Isn't it interesting how much we know now that we thought we knew then. Relationships are so important. Anger and fear are NOT good. We are not perfect, but we try again each morning don't we...
From Doug:

I mentioned above how I'm still playing bass guitar in a rock 'n roll cover band.
I love to golf and learned from a father who is 85 years old this week (Sept. 1, 2008) and still regularly shoots slightly over his age for 18 holes.  What a great example.
I love to study scripture (sounds really strange from what you remember of me, I know, but isn't it interesting how life goes).  Those scriptures include Christian, "Mormon", and am very open to other records of spiritual insight.
Having had the opportunity to be so involved in the preparation of this 40th reunion, especially with this website as the administrator, I've been overwhelmed with the interesting lives you have all led.  What fun to read and remember.  How humbling to know what some of you have accomplished while I just stayed here in Salt Lake (mostly).  Thank you for sharing and for participating in MY foundational life at Skyline High School.  
More later......

From Shauna:
If your youngest just got married, you must have grown up!!!  I'm one of those rare BYUtes.  I attended the Y and then graduated from the U.  I married Michael Robbins and we are the proud parents of 5 children and 13 "extraordinary" grand children.  We lived right next to Skyline High, on Ash Circle when we were first married and I taught school at Upland Terrace Elementary.  We moved to Orlando, Florida and then to Atlanta, Georgia were Mike was the director for LDS Family Services and then Welfare Services.  We loved the south and definitely left a part of our hearts there.  We moved back to Utah 16 years ago and it has been good to be close to extended family.  I just retired as a part-time medical assistant to a OB/GYN physician and we are leaving in September to serve a mission in the Czech Republic.  We will miss not catching up with all of you!  If you are in Prague in the next 18 months. Look us up!
Love to all you Eagles

Teacher who influenced me the most . . . :  Mr. Dente (Drama) He helped me develop confidence by humiliating and embarrassing me. He forced me out of my comfort zone and increased my vocabulary by asking me to be more
Catch us up on your life . . . :
After two years of teaching at Cottonwood High School, I married a terrific guy, Dave Hansen (Bountiful High '68)! Our first son was born near the end of my next year of teaching and I've been fortunate to have been able to make "mothering" my primary job for the last 32 years..yikes 32?! I've been crazy enough to have served as both an Elementary and High School PTA president, Co-Chairperson with my husband for the Bountiful Handcart Days (5 years) and numerous other church and community positions. I've been blessed to have been available as a caregiver to both my parents and have felt the void after saying "goodbye" to them both. I've experienced the joy of being loved by a devoted husband and the love laughter and yes, tears that come from sharing life with six wonderful children. (My drama skills have been particularly helpful-I've used them to take on "roles" so I could "pretend" I knew what I was doing.)
Things I have learned since 1968 . . .:
Children's umbilical cords are eventually cut and replaced with bungie cords... I feel the same age "inside" as I did in 1968...my body does not feel (or look) the same age as it did in 1968. God planned for our "near" vision to diminish as we get older so we can still be brave enough to look into a mirror every morning. You can choose happiness. Life is most beautiful when you share it and most satisfying when who serve in it. Good friends can survive the "pause button" when life happens to separate you...the button goes back to "play" when you step back into each other's lives - almost where you left off! Right Tag?

Catch us up on your life . . . :
I met and married Steve Hawkes, from Honeyville, Ut. after attending USU for two years, had two georgeous daughters, Stephanie and Mandie,and lived seveal places, including Anchorage Alaska for four years. We settled in Layton, Ut, where we have remained for the bulk of our 37 years together. We have 7 absolutely beautiful grandchildren, Dakota, Jayden, Whitt, Jace,twins- Brylee & Bodree and Hailie. 5 Boys after having only daughters wears me out, and the twins are a pair of energizer bunnies. They're envolved in everything, therefore I am too. Sports, hunting, fishing, rodeo and fun. Being empty nesters has allowed Steve and I time to travel a little, we've traded our huge garden for a swimming pool our "little oasis". It's much easier to take care of, although we did keep a little room to still garden. Our barn is now empty as well. It seems most of the animals left when the girls did, especially the horses, goats, and cattle. However, with one son-in-law a Vet, and the other a cattleman,and both being in rodeo, we seem to not miss them. We do still have Labs,a 15 yr old chocolate, the other a year old black. I've been toying with an idea to breed Cinder, to a Standard Poodle, I understand the breed makes great bird dogs. I'm not sure if I have the energy though. While Steve has been in construction, now VP of Operations for Burton Lumber, (yes that's our Senior Pres.'s family buisness); I have done numerous jobs. My favorite was working from home and designing and making wedding gowns,which I have done off and on since High school, and around all my other jobs.
Things I have learned since 1968 . . .:
"When things get you down, just keep one foot in front of the other, it will lead you somewhere." and "Enjoy each and every moment of your life, you don't ever get it back".
From Rosemary (Rosie):
Dear Class, It has been so fun to catch up on where and what everyone is doing.  I haven't thought of High School for sooo long.  I guess life just has a habit of moving on.  My best to everyone, not sure if we can make it to any festivities, but will try... Grandchildren take presidence in our lives now, and they are envolved in "Little Wrangler Rodeo"  both days of the reunion.
