2007: Hi everyone!  A couple more years have gone by…….I have been married to Ralph for 15+ years now and the kids are now 13 and 10 and are just finishing up with 5th and 7th grade.  Kyle and Blaze are both active with band and take lessons at the “Con” in Oberlin once a week during the school year he plays trumpet and she plays trombone.  Blaze plays both Travel Softball and Soccer in the spring.  So now I know where most of the soccer and softball fields are north of Lodi! My son plays Middle school football and still loves time with his playstation and computer games. Kyle has also taken up a new sport.  He will be doing competitive rollerblading in the fall.  He is taking lessons right now, but it’s so cool to watch how they can do similar things on rollerblades as they can do on ice-skates competitively. Ralph and I are still both with the same companies, he does mechanical piping design and I work for a financial planner in Strongsville.   We both have been in our respective fields for 18 years now…We still love going as a family to Cedar Point in the summer and day trips for vacations.    I hope everyone has a fun summer and hope to see you when we get together for our next reunion!!   Reg

2005 update….Hi friends! As always seems like the years fly by… I don’t get taller but my children do! Kyle is now 12 and in 6th grade weighs 10 lbs more than me and is 1 inch taller, Blaze is 9 and in 4th grade and is waiting for her growth spurt! Kyle enjoys computer games and play station as probably most boys his age do, he especially likes the “Sim” games from the “Sims” to “Roller Coaster Tycoon” to name a few. With all the homework they give kids these days it’s amazing the kids can budget in time to play the games! Kyle also is in concert band, he has played the trumpet for 2 years now, and has picked it up a lot easier than I did the violin! Blaze is my sports girl…she loves watching football with her dad on Sundays, and she has played soccer since she was 4 on rec teams. This fall was her first time on a travel team; she plays on a u-10 team with mostly girls from her school. It was our first time driving all over Northeast Ohio to watch girl’s soccer; the talent of some of these girls at such a young age amazes me. Cedar Point and Soak City was the spring & summer & fall road tripping spot, and my work sent me to Washington DC this year for a conference in June, so the family went with me and took in the sights for a few days, and my 1st experience riding a subway (beats parking in the city!). My husband and I keep busy with the family extra curricular activities (he coaches and I manage the girls travel team and indoor league) I see a few friends from school here and there but would love to hear how everyone is doing. Take care, and a healthy and happy 2006 to all of you! Reggie


2001: 20 years has flown by so fast! I am excited and looking forward to seeing my classmates at the reunion next year! In those 20 years...kept busy...Heidelberg College after High School graduation...worked 3 summers at Cedar Point during college...moved back to Oberlin and worked various jobs until I settled in as a secretary at Edward Jones. In 1990, when noticing that the single male population was limited in Oberlin I hopped in my car with my resume and got a job as a waitress for the Hilton Hotel and moved also to the Strongsville office of Edward Jones and worked part-time...moved to Parma and within 6 months met my Ralph (husband) and married. We have been married 10 years and have 2 cool kids, Kyle who is 8 and Blaze who is 5. I left Edward Jones a few years ago (no growth in my current position) and I have been at Kiplinger Investment Advisors in Strongsville for the past 2 years working as a Sales Assistant. My husband Ralph, works as a Mechanical Designer for an engineering firm in Middleburg Hts. The kids are both busy with school and soccer. Free time is rare but when we do have some time we ride bikes and summers are always spent at Cedar Point! We currently live in Elyria, in the St. Judes area (over by Elyria Catholic).

1992 Reunion information: Currently living in Parma. Married Ralph Pratt last October. Currently employed with Edwards Jones & Company as a secretary for 1 1/2 years now after transferring fromthe Oberlin branch in 1990.
