The McClain
Alumni Association was formed preceding the 1999
All-class Reunion and has received tremendous support from
alumni all over the world. Since its inception it has
instituted several programs to better the educational
climate at McClain High School and the Greenfield schools.
The Association annually awards several student scholarships,
manages the annual Peg Gessner Student Scholarship and conducts
a program to honor outstanding students and teachers.
Association members are currently engaged in an ongoing project
to repair and restore the multitude of artworks and statuary
that line the halls and walls of McClain. If you haven't yet become a member
your financial support and, if possible, participation
would be greatly appreciated. Ann Merrill is the
current president. |

NEW:
Teena Fitzpatrick Thornton, Class of 1964,
The Bio introduction asked that a brief summary be submitted
about what I've been doing these past 45 years. NOT enough
space. I'm back in Greenfield via Washington State, Minnesota,
and Oregon. Been married, widowed and divorced. (Always the
optimistic lover) I have (had) two wonderful children, oldest
child Julie passed away in 2002 a week after my father...it was
an interesting year. My other child... a boy, is currently on
his twentieth year in the Air Force. He is married and has two
children. They are currently stationed at Patrick AFB in
Florida.
I've worked in the accounting profession most of my life. I
discovered "temping" before it became popular. Since I love to
unravel fine messes, it has been a perfect fit.. work when and
where you want to. I've also been a travel guide, EMT, worked at
a winery in Oregon for several years and a potato farm in
Washington State. I've white watered on some of the best rivers
in Oregon and Washington, SCUBA dived on the Great Barrier Reef
and too much more to talk about here.
They always say that the best is saved for last, indeed that has
been the case for me. When I arrived back in Greenfield, Jake
Greenlee introduced me to his older brother Jim. This is another
perfect fit. Jim lives at the family farm where he was born. It
is outside of Greenfield near Lyndon. We are having the time of
our lives. Jim has been a farmer all his life (he's a fine
stockman). I love gardening and farming also. We have cattle, a
milk cow, pigs, chickens, dogs, cats, and guineas. We plant a
huge garden every year and can, freeze and dry much of our own
food. I have been experimenting with homemade butter and cheese.
What fun. I work part time at Clinton Memorial Hospital in
Wilmington. I'm a Unit Clerk in the Telemetry Unit. It keeps me
entertained (young nurses are a hoot) and pays my health
insurance...what more could a girl want?
I'm currently trying to get a note out to you all (class of 64)
about some sort of reunion this year (2009) So watch for e-mails
and snail mails from the Greenlee Farm at 1376 White Lane,
Greenfield, Ohio 45123. E-mail
teenakt@scpwildblue.com,
937-981-1070. Hope to hear from some of you soon. PS I have most
addresses and e-mails. Mail me and I will attach an Excel sheet
with the info if you are interested. 2/17/09 |
NEW: JoAnn Davis, I
married Walter Davis we raised four children Mark, Alana, Shawn
and LeAnn and six grandchildren. We divorced after 20 years. I
moved South completed my education in Gadsden, Alabama with an
Associates Degree in Early Childhood from GSCC. I was married to
Jim Stanley for just over one year before he died from heart
failure. After the death of my mother in December of this year,
I'm now in transition between Alabama and Ohio planning to be
moved completely by the end of March. Starting over again will
be quite a challenge at my age to be sure! May God Richly Bless
Your Day
Sincerely, JoAnn

Update:
Boonie and Janny Brizius, Class of 1952, We are enjoying
being "back home" after 40+ years in the big city "seeking our
fortune" Guess we found it, though perhaps not in the
traditional sense. We have had a great life which includes 4
children and 15 grandchildren. Boonie had a successful and
exciting career at Copco Papers, retiring at age 59. We now have
our own company called Magic Motivations which includes a summer
theatre (Magic Waters Theatre), a motivational camp for kids (C.A.M.P.)
The Haunted Hills, Christmas at the Cabin, Magic Shows for your
special occasions, and we publish a quarterly magazine called
"Happenings in the Hills." In between all that we take folks on
trips around the world ( especially to Hawaii.) See web page

New:
Robert Carmean, Class of 1984, Thought I would add mine
here, after high school I joined the Army and worked as a
Military Policeman for 6 years. I was stationed in Colorado,
Germany, and the Washington DC area. During the Military I went
to school at Northern Virginia Community College where I got my
Associates in Business. After the Army I settled in Alexandria,
Virginia and went to work for UPS. After two years I met the
Love of my Life and moved to Bristol, Virginia we have been
together now 18 years. I was a Manager of a housing development
there. A few years past and We moved to Pensacola Beach Florida.
I lost a few houses to hurricanes and finally decided that the
beach life was great only when you had a house, so I moved to
Pensacola city. I worked as a salesman for a Commercial Building
Products company, after 5 years I went on to selling parts for
the Corrugated Box Industry. Well thanks to all of us who use
plastic to destroy Mother Earth, that job only lasted two years.
I Made the move to Scottsdale. AZ in January of 2007 and plunged
into the .COM industry, Yes its here to stay! I am now working
for one of the greatest companies I have ever worked for,
GoDaddy.Com. I am horrible at keeping up on anything from my
past, I haven't talked to my best buddies Charlie or Steve in
many years. (If anyone knows them or talks to them say hi) My
Mother past, away in 1989 and My Grandmother in 2007, so I don't
come back to Greenfield anymore. The cold weather isn't
condusive to riding my Harley Fatboy. Anyhow, if anyone would
like to reach me, you can email me at
Harleebehr@aol.com. If
there was a reunion in 2008 I hope everyone had a great time.
