Stephen Adams,
Class of 1967, 7125 Zerkle Road,
Springfield, Ohio 45502, 937-964-0211, I moved in Greenfield when I
was in the 6th grade after my mother died. I lived with my aunt
& uncle on Lafayette Street and remember some of the best times of
my life those two years I attended McClain as a 6th & 7th grade
year student. When my father re-married I moved back to the
Springfield area where I still reside today. I would really like
to find a yearbook for the class of 1967 and see some of my old
classmates. If anyone knows how I can obtain one please let me
know. I still visit relatives in Greenfield and think back on
all the fond memories of those days in the early '60s growing up in
that fine community. My favorite teacher of all time was Mrs.
McCoppin and that 6th grade class. My first girlfriend too,
Linda Williams. scadams@iapdatacom.net

and 6th Nationally. She is now busy swimming for the high school
team where her specialty is the 400MR., and the 100 Butterfly. We are
still traveling all over with the kids. I did not get to attend the
BIG event in 99. I had sent in my money and reservations but that
was the weekend that my mother (Cleo Willis) died. I had spent the
summer with her ,& helping to take care of her. I am so glad she did
not suffer and I was able to spend quality time with her. I have
been back several times to see my brother, John. I hope to hear from
some of you. If you ever come up North to SIX FlAGS/SEA

SK2(E-5)and served in Boston, Cutter Escanaba, Loran Station in Estartit,
Spain and Governors Island in New York City during my 4 year enlistment.
Went to College at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. and got both a
BS in Accounting (1972) and an MBA (1976). Went to work for local power
company and lived in Rhinebeck, N.Y. Had a total hip replacement in 1976
and because of fear of falling in snow moved to Raleigh, N.C. in 1977
where I worked in management for Carolina Power & Light until 1984
at which time I formed Crist-Chapman Builders, Inc. with my next door
neighbor and began building new homes and doing remodeling. Got married
for the second time in 1982 to Ruby Creech Chapman, a native of Zebulon,
N.C. (the next town is Lizard Lick, N.C.) We are still happily married.
We never had children. In November of 2000, I sold my half of the
business to my partner and we retired to our home I built on the
Intracoastal Waterway just North of Beaufort, N.C. After 26 years, just
had my total hip replacement replaced again. I am very healthy, enjoying
fishing (both saltwater and freshwater), traveling and gardening. Any
classmates and old friends are invited to come on by!! jchapman@ec.rr.com
Larry Chapman, MHS Class of 1960.
Ive retired from McClain after teaching U.S. History and Government for 26 years.
Since retirement, Ive become even more involved in growing Fall Creek
Communications, a company I founded in 1983. My current interests are traveling, the
Internet, web design, fishing and watching the development of our first grandchild, Cyrus
James Cross. This grandpa thing is just as wonderful as I had imagined it would be. Play
with the kid and when he dirties his diaper or cries, hand him back to the parents and go
to Furmans!. Janet (Michael, Class of 59) still teaches
kindergarten at New Petersburg and will, most likely, never retire. She loves what she
does and wants to continue as long as possible. Maybe a grandchild will change her mind!
Id like to say hello to all those who are passing by, and invite you to submit your
own update from time to time. Im sure your friends would like to know how
youre doing. If you care to contact Janet or me, we are at 937-981-9992. Thanks and take
care. UPDATE: Well, grandchild number 2 has arrived. May 18
brought us Harper Jane Cross. The name honors her grandmother. She is doing well and is a
joy to us all. In the past year I've gotten more involved in this retirement thing. Having
turned the day-to-day running of the business over to my employees I've gotten deeper into
the fishing thing. My brother, Joe, is now semi-retired and has a place on the coast of
North Carolina. Also, Mike McCoy (Class of 60 but he moved to Good Hope
before graduation) has a place in South Carolina on a large lake. I've been making regular
appearances at both! In addition to the computer business we have started several online
e-commerce business' and I can run them from anyplace with a phone line and a notebook
computer. So, a fishin' we will go! Hope to see lots of you this summer at the all-class
reunion. UPDATE, Janet is no longer
teaching kindergarten. She is now a title teacher working with individual or small groups
of children to help improve their reading skills. She is finding it to still be rewarding
but with far less pressure than kindergarten. Things remain about the same with me, still
working a little, traveling and dipping a line in the water whenever I can. It certainly
is interesting to hear from so many former students. Thanks to those of you who've taken
the time to say hello. UPDATE,
(11/11/2000) Janet is still
teaching at Rainsboro and has no plans to retire. She says she just
wants to keep working and take care of my needs! You believe that, don't
you! I have sold my interest in Fall Creek Computers and the business
has been moved to a new location. I still write websites and have an
Internet company that sells specialty products on eBay. Also, I work
5-days a week as a waiter at the Clyburn's new Burnie's Restaurant in
Greenfield. It's great fun and I get to walk a lot in the process. The
current email address is chapmans@highland-ohio.com
. UPDATE, (7/9/2001) Janet is still working
to support my recreations and I am no longer working for Burnie's. I
never worked during the summers all the years I was teaching and saw no
reason to begin now that I'm retired. Most recent news of importance is
the birth of a new baby granddaughter, Hannah Kathryn Wenker, born on
June 30, 2001. The parents are our daughter Jennifer and her husband
Randy. They, as are all of us, are extremely happy with Hannah's
arrival. Grandkid count is now up to three. That's three times the
pleasure of being able to send them home when they're no longer
fun!! UPDATE,
Janet and I just returned from the first McClain Alumni Association's
Caribbean Cruise and we had the time of our lives. We enjoyed the
company of over 60 Tigers and can't wait to do something like it again. larry@highland-ohio.com.
Sandi Collins (Class '69), What an
exciting event coming in July. I do not get to Greenfield very often, but I will be
at the July celebration. Living in Dayton, Ohio for the last 4 years working for
Thompson Hine & Flory LLP, a law firm. I enjoy spoiling Alecia's (Susan's
daughter) two children (Mimi and Michael), as they live in Lebanon which is only about 15
miles from my house. Mimi is going to be just like her "Grandma Sasha."
God help us! Hope to see you all at "Penny's"! E-Mail is: collinsk@thf.com
Robert J. Conley, MHS Class of 1969.
Most people knew me more as Bob Conley. I now live in Circleville with my wife Terry Lynn
(Penn) Conley. We have two children: Chad Conley, 27, who is married to Dawnell; and
Courtney Alyse Conley, 17, who is a senior at Circleville High School. I am presently in
my last quarter of college at Columbus State Community College finishing up with a degree
in business management. And yes, it was rough going back to school after 29 years. But it
has been fun. I spent 27 years working for the U.S. Air Force Reserves until an industrial
accident in 1993. And now Im in the rehabilitation process. Terry works for the city
school system here in Circleville. She spent 18 years working in an eye doctors
office. We get back to Greenfield quite often and are able to keep up with what is going
on. The one thought I would like to leave for everyone in Greenfield is that Greenfield,
to me, is the best place in the world that a kid could every grow up. You can contact us
at 351 Juhl Road, Circleville, OH 43113, 740-474-4645. Bob Conley (son of Doris and Herb).

years!!! bobb_01@yahoo.com

Nancy (Federbush) Dean, Class of
1964, 9003 Fathom Crest, Indianapolis, Indiana 46256, (317) 849-9306, I graduated from the
University of Dayton in 1968 with a teaching degree. In 1971 I married Steve Dean
and continued teaching high school Spanish until the birth of our first son, Aaron, in
1974. Our second son, Jim, was born in 1978. When both boys started school I
resumed my teaching career and have taught in Ohio, Wisconsin and Indiana. I have been
teaching at a private school in Indianapolis for the past eight years and really enjoy
it. Aaron graduated from Ball State University and Jim is currently a student
there. Steve and I have been married for 28 years. It was very exciting to
come back to Greenfield and visit with former classmates at the Reunion and I am equally
thrilled to have found this site! gkcp68b@prodigy.com

Nancy Federbush Dean, Class of 1964. 9532 Timberline Ct.,
Indianapolis, Indiana 46256. I still teach at an independent school here
in Indy although I am now part time/ 3 classes a day. Have been married
since 1971 to Steve Dean and have two sons born in 1974 and 1978.
I am really looking forward to attending Reunion Weekend 2004 and
hope you will be on the lookout for me! I attended the last one a few
years ago and although I had a great time I missed seeing and/or talking
with so many classmates. I had a few nice chats with old friends but
they were far too brief and I would love the chance to sit down and
really catch up and reminisce.
So glad the dances will be "cool" this time as I am sure
that will make it easier to spend more time together. We will be leaving
Indy in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday as I am hoping to
attend a choir breakfast. Would love to hear from anyone who plans on
being at any event as I don't want to miss anyone this time if possible.
Evidently my class of 1964 has not had any of our own reunions recently
or maybe I've just missed them somehow. There was a 20 year reunion
which I attended a long time ago when I lived in Wisconsin. At any rate,
I hope to see many 1964 classmates this time. E-mail me at ndean9003@hotmail.com
and let me know if you'll be there, too!

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,

of 1960: My father, Don Hyer, left Greenfield and went to Iowa State
where he played football and received his engineering degree. My
parents moved back to Columbus, Ohio and my father worked for General
Electric, now AT&T. I was born in 1969. My father found out that he
had lymphoma when I was 6 years old. He died when I was 10. I have
a lot of great memories about him but most of all he was a great dad. I
am now 30 years old and have 4 kids. I know it sounds like a lot
but my last were twins. So I kind of cheated. Amber is 10,
Lindsay is 8, and the twins Case and Paige are 3. I have operated a day
care in my home for the past 12 years and I am currently going to Ohio
State School of Cosmetology. My husband works for Honda Research
and we live in Marysville. I am only child. Both of my
parents are deceased so I thought it would be neat to talk to anyone who
might have remembered them. You are welcome to give out information
so that I can hear from others. Memories are very important to me.

Roberta A. Jackson-Patrick, Class of 1960, 1875 S. Champion
Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43207, Hi old friends, My name is Roberta Anne
Jackson/Patrick - it was Jackson during my school days at good old
McClain. I left Greenfield right after graduation in 1960 and moved to
Columbus - the big city, by comparison - and have been here ever since.
I have been married and divorced - a long time ago - I have two grown
children (girl, Loronda and boy, Kevin) and 7 grandchildren - 4 girls
and 3 boys - all living in Columbus except my son's oldest daughter, who
lives in Detroit, Mi. I have worked at both the state (Employment
Services) and the county, Franklin County Children Services - where I
continue to work. I am into my 23rd year. I work as a office
manager in the Adoptions Department, quite an interesting position.
I supervise three staff members. I miss the old school days and
have several people in mind I wonder if anyone knows the whereabouts of
- kids who went to school at McClain but sort just came and went - They
are: Patty Rockenbaugh, Carolyn Shaw, Mary Jane Bender, Frank Spangler,
Milton Lee Brooks - to name a few. Some other classmates I have
never seen at any reunions - i.e., Dawn and Phil Carter, Jeff Pommel,
Phyllis Griffith, Frank Spangler - where are these people? My mom
still lives in Greenfield and is a sexy ol' broad at 77 - still healthy
and well which is indeed a blessing. I have listed my e-mail
address so anyone can feel free to contact me by e-mail. I look
forward to hearing from anyone who was near my age at McClain. Oh yea, I
see Larry Chapman often when I am down to visit my mom and he keeps a
pretty good eye on who is where - but some even he can't come up with.
Where the heck is Dick Craft and Harold Stroup? I'd love to have some
info about them. I think this website is the greatest and I hope
more McClain alum will find it and chime in. I am still a music
lover - we had this fun group in high school - gee, it's too bad we
cannot go back and relive some of the fun we used to have. I hope
to hear from classmates soon. Love you all. Roberta A.
Jackson/Patrick. Let's have more profiles - as you can see, I am not a
"person of a few words". rapatric@fccs.co.franklin.oh.us
(corrected email address 6/23/03)
UPDATE: Roberta (Jackson) Patrick, Class of 1960, I
retired from FCCS in 2006 after 27 years. I am bored with retirement
and am thinking about going back to work somewhere part-time just for
something to do. My daughter has "made" me come to the Library every
day just to get me out of the house, which was getting me down. Now I
come down here and spend 2 or 3 hours just working on the computer and
trying to keep my typing skills alive. I enjoy it here, have met some
nice people and it is a very good diversion from my depression. I am
just not cut out to lay around and watch TV all the time - I have always
been a scheduled and busy person - if I hadn't gotten ill with the
stroke I might have still been working but I am not sure because I was
not in a good work-situation. My daughter told me it was best that I
retire before I went postal - and if anybody knew my boss, they would
understand. My new email address is:
rapatric@hotmail.com and I encourage anyone to contact me especially
those that were in our class. 8/29/07
Ruth (Jackson) Papineau,
Class of 1960, I moved to Naples,
Florida in 1974 and have went back North a few times but it seems as
though my blood has thinned somewhat, as I can't seem to handle the cold
weather any more. I have two sons, 36 and 33 yrs, a daughter 32 and a
stepdaughter 28 yrs. My husband Terry and I are the proud grandparents of
14 grandchildren!!! This includes the step-grandchildren. We have ten
little girls here in Naples but all four little boys are up North so we
don't get to see them that much. I would love to hear from anyone
that walked the halls of dear old McClain High with me or watched me
make a fool of myself trying to dance in Penny's, but what fun we had.

Linda Lewis-Day, Class of 1968, 2902
Continental Drive, Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068, 614 755-7611, I graduated from Miami
University in 1973 with a Bachelor of Science in Education. I taught in Circleville
the next year and then went to OSU to work on my masters. I detoured through a job
with the Ohio Department of Health and have worked for the state almost every since.
I currently work for the Ohio Department of Mental Retardation and Developmental
Disabilities. I am divorced and have a 14 year old daughter, Emily. We visit my mom,
Mary Lewis, in Greenfield almost every week. My sister Marsha (1975)
lives in Republic, Missouri and my brother Larry (1984) lives in Ayden,
North Carolina.
Danny & Nancy Long:
437 Dickey Ave., Greenfield, Oh 45123, 937-981-7190: Danny graduated from MHS in 1964. He
received his BS in Industrial Technology from Ohio University in 1970 and an MS in Educ.
from Xavier in '74. He coached the MHS swim team for 25 years, retiring in 1997. He still
is golf coach. His big thrill was having his golf team qualify for the state match in the
fall of 1995. He married me, Nancy Taylor, from Leesburg in 1972. I also graduated from OU
in 1970. Danny is Director of Guidance at MHS and I teach Kindergarten at Buckskin
Elementary. Our oldest son, Barney, born in 1975, passed away from a severe asthma attack

majoring in Creative Writing. He plans to be the next Stephen King and support his parents
in their old age. Danny has developed a mania for NASCAR and goes to at least 1 race a
year. I think he learned to like this sport from his rat-racing days on the back streets
of Greenfield. We'll see everyone at the Bicentennial celebration this summer! Email to db3833@dragonbbs.com .

Alice Malott Hoggatt, Class of 1963, 2875
California Hollow Rd., Bainbridge, Ohio 45612, As you can see I didn't
stray far from home--Bainbridge. I married Dave in August of 1963, we
have one daughter, a good son-in-law and two beautiful granddaughters,
71/2 and 14 months. Dave retired last year and loves it!! I work three
days a week for an optometrist in Chillicothe. We enjoy riding
motorcycles, square dancing, playing cards and traveling. Some one from
my class <let me hear from you>. mrhaney@horizonview.net
Janet Malott Turner, Class of 1960, 312 E. Main St., P.
O. Box 121, Leesburg, Ohio 45135, I graduated from McClain in 1960
and have fond memories of all those years. What a time of innocent
fun. A few members of our class met to plan our 45th class reunion
(where does the time go) and sparked my interest in Larry's web
site.
After graduation, I attended Columbus Business University and
majored in computers (actually key punch and big cumbersome
computers at that time, but of course we thought that was very
advanced!). I was employed at Blue Cross Insurance for 5 years,
doing data verification entry and training new employees. In 1964
I married Hugh H. Turner. Some of you recall he taught at McClain
from 1959-1966. I was in his class in 1959-60. We dated from the
time I graduated till we married (when he ask to see me I thought
it would be a good way to kill the summer). It turns out he became
one of the greatest blessings of my life. We have two children,
Sam, born in 1968 and deceased the same year, and Rachel, born in
1971. We have lived in Leesburg since 1967, in the same home.
Hugh's mom and dad had a restaurant here for 38 years, so this has
been home to him for a long time, except during his army and
college years and a short time in Greenfield. We were friends with
the lady who owned the home we live in. I probably know more about
Leesburg now than I do about Greenfield.
We are both retired now and, although like you all, have had
trying times, we are having a great life. Our daughter is married
and lives in Lithopolis, Ohio (between Lancaster and Circleville).
She graduated from Ohio State, has a masters in pastoral
counseling from Ashland Seminary and works for the city of
Columbus with the Health Department, doing school intervention
programs with grade school children. We are active in our local
church, and various clubs, Hugh is quite active in the Kairos
Ministry which works inside prisons and has a program similar to
the Emmaus Walk (anyone familiar with that?). I am the church
librarian and love to read everything except science fiction. I
have a large, mostly unused, cookbook collection, so if anyone out
there loves recipes, please contact me.
I hope this 45th reunion causes you all to come home and visit.
We had a ball at our meeting. Life's experiences has brought us to
a new level of understanding each other.
My e-mail address is jetreads@yahoo.com,
please feel free to contact me anytime. I would love to hear from
any former classmates.

or if anyone has information that would help me, I would appreciate all

Yellow Springs, Ohio 45387, I'm living in Springfield, Ohio with my
daughter, Ginger, her husband, Mike and their daughter Chloe Kathleen
Joel Stanley. I've been here almost 2 years and can't stand to think
about living my girls. It is the most fun in the world to be a grandma.

smart for words. I may be prejudiced but only a little. I still work in

David C. Pheanis, 938 E. Ranch Road,
Tempe, Arizona 85284-3225, (602) 839-5229, After graduating from McClain in 1965, I
majored in Math at Case Institute of Technology (now Case Western Reserve University) in
Cleveland. When I graduated from Case in 1969, I went into the Air Force and served
as an officer for 4 years, programming air-defense computers. While I was stationed at
Luke AFB in Arizona, I took graduate classes on a part-time basis and got a Masters degree
in Electrical Engineering. Then, after getting out of the Air Force in 1973, I finished a
PhD in Computer Engineering at Arizona State University. I decided to stay at ASU
and became a member of the faculty, where I have continued to teach Computer Science and
Engineering ever since. I have a consulting business that keeps me busy in the
summer and in my spare time. My consulting work is mainly with General Motors, where
I develop microprocessor-controlled automative test instruments, and with Inter-Tel, a
company that designs, builds, and sells business telephone systems and internet telephony
systems. Several of my students and former students work for me in my consulting
business. The best part of my career is that I get paid for doing things that are
fun to do! I married Judith Chandler in 1978. Judi is an electrical engineer
who does ASIC design for Motorola, and she grew up in Wyoming and came to Arizona to work
at Motorola after graduating from the University of Wyoming. We have a son, Charles,
who is 15 (dangerously close to driving age). Charles goes to Corona del Sol High
School where he is president of the sophomore class. We'll be in Greenfield for the

Sheila (Pinkerton) Carter,
Class of 1965, Greenfield, Ohio
45123-8235, Hello! Garry and I got married in October 1965 and are
still together, even though some said it wouldn't last! We have a
son Kevin Wayne, a daughter-in-law Marsha (Clouser), a
granddaughter Sabrina Dawn, 6 this month, and a grandson Devin
Wayne, born last September. We don't get to see them as often as
we'd like, even though they live next door, because Garry and I
have driven a semi together since 1987. Before then I worked at
Greenfield Research 3 1/2 years. Before that I was "just a
housewife". I hope to be one again when Garry retires in a
couple years! That's about it for my life after graduation. If you
write don't expect a quick answer! :) June 2001, ladybug@dragonbbs.com
UPDATE: Sheila
(Pinkerton) Carter, Class of 1965, Oct.2, 2003. Today is our
38th anniversary (and they said it wouldn't last!) Garry
officially retired 2 days ago so I (unofficially) retired, too.
Actually, the trucking company we drove for shut down the union
division the end of June, so we've been rehearsing for retirement
since then. We've been babysitting our 2 grandchildren,
camping-sometimes with them, sometimes without-working around our
"farm", and generally enjoying ourselves. Kevin (class
of 1985) and Marsha got a dissolution in June. He drove a truck
for a little over a year and started a new factory job last night.
If anyone would like to write, my e-mail address hasn't changed!
:) ladybug@dragonbbs.com UPDATE:
(4/20/06) Sheila (Pinkerton) Carter,
Class of 1965, We have had a new daughter-in-law, Kellie, since
January of 2004. Also have two more grandsons: Zachary Gene will

Melinda Pheanis Preston, graduated from
McClain HS in 1967. I currently am working as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner at Mayo
Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona. I received my BS and MS from the University of Cincinnati
in 1971and 1977 respectfully. I practiced in Cincinnati until 1989 when I moved with my
two sons, Matthew and David to Tempe, Arizona. Matthew is now 21and a junior at the
University of Arizona in Tucson majoring in biochemistry, David is 13 and an 8th grader.
We return to Greenfield at least once a year to see my mother, Marvella Pheanis. She,
likewise, comes to Arizona to see us and two (David and Paul) of my four brothers who live
here. We enjoy downhill skiing, camping, hiking, traveling, and our many pets. Our climate
is great for all these activities. It's only a 2-3 hour drive to the ski resort, while you
can enjoy a short sleeve hike here in the Valley of the Sun. I enjoyed attending our 30th
class reunion in 1997, it was great to see my classmates. I hope I can get back to
Greenfield during the time of the 200 year celebration. It was a wonderful place to grow
up. My e-mail address is preston.melinda@mayo.edu
Phyllis (Woods) Rea, Class of 1967, (740)
335-2527, 3748 Lyndon Rd., Greenfield, Ohio 45123, Graduated from the University of
Cincinnati, 1971. Worked as accountant at the Greenfield Hospital, office manager at
Cudahy Foods (Washington CH), grain accountant at Fayette Landmark (WCH and
Jeffersonville), in the office at Greenline Equipment (WCH), and in the accounts payable
department at Mid-Ohio Chemical (WCH). I'm still working in the same building as when I
started with Mid-Ohio in 1987, but the company has been sold three times - Vigoro
Industries, IMC AgriBusiness, and now Royster-Clark AgriBusiness. We're considering
putting up the yard sign with velcro. My job now is in the transportation department,
where I maintain the files for and approve the trucking companies that haul for
Royster-Clark. They have to have documentation on file showing authority, insurance
coverge, etc. to be approved to haul for the company. In 1970, I married Eddie Rea (that
guy from Miami Trace). We lived in WCH for three years, then in Good Hope for 15
years. In 1988, Eddie died in a freak accident while cutting wood. We have two daughters.
Angela graduated from Morehead State Univ. in Dec. 1998, majoring in elem. ed. and special
ed. She recently married and lives in Huntington, WV. Michele just finished her first year
at Hocking College, majoring in natural resources. She is working this summer at Kelley's
Is. State Park, Lake Erie. In 1989, the girls and I moved out to the farm, living in
the house where I lived all my life until I was married. I still have two horses, and am
in the 28th year as a 4-H advisor. plrea@farmarket.com
UPDATE, Phyllis (Woods) Rea,
Class of 1967, Please note new e-mail address at home: plrea@prodigy.net.
Daughter Angela & husband Shawn moved from Huntington WV to Ashland,
KY and then to Good Hope, OH in June, 2000. She teaches special ed. at
Wayne Elementary just across the street from their house. On August 9,
Thomas Fredrick May arrived. 1st grandchild. Michele graduated from
Hocking College in June, 2001 with Assoc. of Applied Science degrees in
both Recreation & Wildlife and Backcountry Horsemanship. Since May
1, and through Sept. 1, she has been the asst. equestrian/trainer for
the outdoor drama "Tecumseh!" in Chillicothe. Plans uncertain
after that, but she still wants to go out west sometime to work. I think
her new nephew will keep her here in the area until spring. plrea@prodigy.net
UPDATE,
Phyllis (Woods) Rea, Class of 1967, 3/27/02 - After the
"Tecumseh!" season was over, Michele got a job at the new
Wal-Mart in WCH, but was still looking for that perfect "horsey"
job. That opportunity came to her this month, and she was hired as the
barn manager for the Buckeye Ranch, Grove City, OH. The Ranch is a
residential treatment center for children who have been abused or have
been through the court system for various problems. Some children live
there, some come on a daily basis. They have a beautiful facility for
the therapeutic riding program. They also have a small animal (rabbits)
therapeutic program. Michele's job entails everything to do with the
care & training of the horses, appearance of the barn, and oversight
of the children who are assigned chores in the barn as part of their
treatment. The Ranch will be helping her to obtain certification to
become a therapeutic riding instructor, working directly with the
children. plrea@prodigy.net,
UPDATE:
Phyllis (Woods) Rea, Class of 1967, Hard to believe our 40th year
reunion is next year. Many changes since last update. The company I work
for has sold again, and this time I will be one of many who are being
"integrated" out of a job, effective 12/15/06. I have worked in the same
building, albeit for five different companies, about six weeks short of
20 years, and the thought of looking for a new job at my age is not
pleasant. Daughter Angela and her husband split up in 2003. She and
grandson Thomas, 5, still live in Good Hope, and she is teaching
multiple-handicapped 3rd through 6th graders at Wayne Elementary.
Daughter Michele married Mark Snider, whom she met at Hocking college,
on May 20, 2006. In May of 2005, her dream job at the Buckeye Ranch was
eliminated and the riding program there was gutted - so sad, the
potential for helping kids there was great and the facility was super.
She would still like to be involved in, or start, a similar program, but
of course the start-up costs are prohibitive at this time. She is now
working as an assistant teacher of 4 & 5-yr old pre-schoolers at the
YMCA day care in Wash. C.H. Mark works at Johnson Controls. They live
about a mile away from me on Lyndon Rd.

Michael (Gossett) Smith,
Class of 1965, Long Beach, CA 90814,
I lived in Greenfield from 1948-1960. My step-father, Fred
Gossett, owned the Shell Station. I left after 8th Grade.
Moved to Arizona. Air Force. Viet Nam. Graduated from
University of Arizona, B. A., MFA. Lived in Boston (ran into
Penelope Duckworth there (the granddaughter of the principal)-- she's
now an Episcopalian minister and a fine poet.) Also lived in LA and DC.
I taught writing at Howard University and UCLA. Have three kids and
another on the way! Friends I remember: Butch (Dwight) Wilson,
Ralph Nooks, Jim Garrison. Other classmates: Don Dietrich, Jeff
Pollard, Bobby Wilkins, Patty Mertz, Brenda Clay. Who remembers
Paul Maple, our coach? How about the donuts at Stewart's Pharmacy
(I think?) And of course the rich compromise of character, the converted
tobacco curing house, Daniel's Pool Hall? I recall Joellen Vandermark
living across the street at one time. Can that be so? So long ago. We
were so young. And now look at us!
I returned to Greenfield for a day back in 92, on the way to a
conference in Cincinnati. I was stunned by how accurate my memory
was -- how idyllic! What a great place to grow up -- though I know
-- as you all know -- that small towns have their darkness as well...
Still, Greenfield is aptly named. smithpoet@aol.com

Jean Sprinkle Cavallo, Class of 1967, 13 Fieldstone Drive,
Clinton, New Jersey 08809, I discovered this website while my family is
visiting my sister, Nancy (Sprinkle) Baldwin this week (7/6/02).
After graduation from McClain in '67, I went to Ohio State University
getting a B.S. in Zoology in 1970, then went on to graduate school at
OSU studying wildlife parasitology. I spent 5 summers as an
undergraduate and graduate student at OSU's freshwater biology station
at Put-in-Bay on Lake Erie - loved it. My Master's degree was
studying the life cycle of a red worm that infests Lake Erie yellow
perch. I had started a PhD program at OSU when the parasitology
job market started to evaporate. I accepted a job in Pathology &
Toxicology in the "real world" of pharmaceutical research at
what was then called Richardson Merrell, Inc. in Cincinnati. I
also was married for 5 years (1974-1979), then divorced, no kids.
While continuing to work, I went back to graduate school at University
of Cincinnati College of Medicine and received a PhD in investigative
pathology in 1987. My PhD dissertation was focused on cholesterol
metabolism and changes during early development, using the rabbit as a
model. I met Joseph Cavallo while scuba diving in the Florida Keys
in 1986. We got married in 1989 and now have two children,
Christopher is almost 12 years old and Kelly is 8 1/2 years old. I
have stayed with the same pharmaceutical company throughout my career,
but it has undergone 4 mergers/take-overs/buy-outs, it is now called
Aventis. In the next to last merger, my job moved to New Jersey -
a major life change. We now live in a quaint little town with a
red mill and stream going though the center of town. We do not
have a New Jersey accent. We go skiing as a family in the Poconos
in PA and in Vermont. In my work, I now head up a group that does
molecular pathology on animal and human tissues, both normal and
diseased. We are looking for new genomics based targets for new
drugs. It is exciting, but also a lot of high visibility pressure
as this is the new way of developing drugs and the future of the company
depends on its success. I sometimes travel to Paris and Frankfurt
for my job, as Aventis is a French based global company with major
research sites in Paris (France), Frankfurt (Germany) and
Bridgewater (NJ/US). My husband gave up a career in federal law
enforcement in Miami, Florida before he moved to Ohio when we first got
married. Joe is now a stay-at-home dad plus he is going back to
school pursuing a nursing degree. jscavallo@aol.com

I remarried in 1989 to Susan Pohl who worked for AEP in Columbus.
In 1993 we sold everything we owned except clothes and vehicles and
moved to Chapel Hill North Carolina. Susan now works for IBM as a
mechanical engineer designing computer enclosures and widgets. I

David Upp, Class of 1966, 9600 Walmer St., Overland Park,
Kansas 66212, 913-341-7699, After leaving McClain, I attended the
University of Kansas, then joined the Army Security Agency. I
spent two years in Monterey, CA, learning Russian, and two years in West
Germany, listening to Russian military maneuvers over the radio.
Came back to the states and got married to a Kansas City girl (Donna
Wilson) in 1971, went back to KU, where I received a BA in German and an
MA in Computer Science. My Dad died in May of '77, I graduated in
August, and we discovered the same week that Mom had inoperable ovarian
cancer.
We moved to Athens, Ohio, where she was working on her PhD in Education,
and I taught Computer Science at Ohio University for two years.
She died in March of '79, and, after completing the term at Ohio U.,
Donna and I moved back to Overland Park, where we have been ever since.
We celebrated our 30th anniversary last Dec.
Donna is a nurse. I am a (mainframe) computer geek. We raise
cats, not kids, and are on our third pair of cats now. We used to
travel a lot, visit caves, museums and zoos; but Donna has severe
rheumatoid arthritis these days, and I am all-but-wheelchair-bound
because of repeated knee injuries, so we stay fairly close to home these
days. We're going to try to make it to the Class of '67 35th
reunion this August.
In the meantime, I'll be where I've been the last 22 years: 9600 Walmer
Street, Overland Park, KS, 66212. dupp2@kc.rr.com

time spent in Greenfield was great. youngjnd@aol.com
