James Reid
  In 1963, I married Marian Haken, class of 1961. We have two sons and five grandchildren. When the Gems band broke up in 1965, I went to work for Pay Less Drug and just retired two years ago, after 42 years with Pay Less and Rite Aid. The first 18 years was in advertising and the remainder in management, store manager. Now that I'm retired from that, I'm able to pursue my art career full time. I have a web sight; jamesreidartist.com. I first started painting seriously in 1973 and am now a full time artist, living in Boise, Idaho.  Send James a Message

Wow! What a journey the past 50 years has been! Upon graduation, I went to NNC and graduated with a teaching credential. My first teaching job was in CA because it seemed like a great adventure and I could learn to surf. The latter never happened but I met my husband and we will celebrate our 45th anniversary just before the reunion. After living in areas like L.A., San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento, and Santa Barbara, we now live in a small rural area called Hollister, CA which is inland from the Santa Cruz/Monterrey area. It is a a "destination" place. In other words, it is not on the way to anywhere. We love the quiet (except on July 4th when 70,000 motorcycles come to town for their yearly rally). John was in retail management and good at it, so he was always on demand in new locales. (usually in CA) I taught in many districts through the years but teaching was my passion so always loved the challenge. I stayed home for a few years when our children were small. We have two. Our son Grant. graduated from Cal Tech and got his masters at UC. He, his wife and three of our grandchildren live near San Diego. Our daughter Gretchen, graduated from Pepperdine, lives with her husband near Santa Monica, has a daughter and one on the way, so is on a leave from the Beverly Hills School District. I retired from teaching three years ago. We spend our time traveling to see the kids in southern CA. Love those grandkids!!! John is originally from Denver and has family in Nashville so we have driven back and forth many times. What a beautiful country we all live in! We took one cruise (up the Rhine) before the economy went south. Now we are homebodies. I do keep busy with gardening, reading, am active in BSF and my church, and also volunteer as a tutor in our adult literacy program. School days at Wa Hi were good days. I look forward to connecting with many of you in August.
