    newHickLogoWe are reprinting Ron Wencer's article about Mary Keller, Part 2, which includes new information about a photograph on page 6, along with a fascinating footnote.  We are pleased to include another episode of Where Are They Now?, featuring Hal Blackman from the Class of 1977. We think you will find his story fascinating and helpful! Last month, we asked those who served to email us. Our webmaster created a new section under Honoring our Vets, where you will see Our Veterans' Stories. Please continue to send us your information so we can add you to this section. Or, if you are already a website member, you can create your story as a Personal Blog. Email us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

It's been very interesting finding out who we've become. Aside from turning older, that is.

I won't be able to come to the reunion, but did pull out my yearbook from the Senior Trip. What a trip that was! I'm (still) married to a college professor and we're about to embark on our last sabbatical before Alan retires.

I went through a few careers - medical technician - nuclear medical technician - and ended up doing case management at an Area Agency for Aging in Massachusetts while Alan taught at the University of Massachusetts .

When we moved to Nebraska in 1990 I started volunteer work. Hospice, and Lincoln Literacy Council, helping Afghan women adjust to life in America . Many of them are now speaking English with my N.Y. Accent.

My daughter and the 3 grandchildren live near Seattle , my son lives in Brooklyn .

For sabbatical, we'll be in Seattle Dec. to mid-March, then mid-March through June in Kyoto . Learning Japanese is akin to pulling teeth, for me, but I hope to be able to put my tutoring to good use as well as learn some interesting weaving techniques to share with my guild.

By the time I return home, I'm going to be very short on both money, and energy. I'm already vertically challenged.

Have a great reunion.
