ben416rbb@comcast.net Retired - Optometric Technician Married 6 2012-07-11 22:27:46
Spouse:  Ben
Children:  5 Sons and 1 Daughter
Grandchildren:  6 Grandsons and 4 Granddaughters
Activities/Hobbies:  Quilting, fabric artist, reading, family activities, gardening

During the 50 years since we graduated, I didn't become a diplomat, a teacher, write a novel or find the cure for the common cold.  But I've had an interesting life.

I attended Central Washington College (now CWSU) on the pay as you go plan.  Work one year, attend college, work, college.  During the third "work" I met and married my husband, Ben.  His job transferred us to Spokane, WA.  We've lived here ever since.

We've raised six children.  We have ten grandchildren.  Some grown, some in college, a couple in the Service, three in grade or high school.  Our big family is a lot of fun.

After the children were in school, I managed an eye doctor's office for several years and became an Optometric Technician.  I was a "Domestic Engineer" when Ben retired in 1989.

We've traveled.  Driving, by air, train or RV to 23 of the 50 states.  We've been to Europe, Canada many times, and Mexico.  Unfortunately, we no longer travel any great distance from home because Ben's health is not good.

I've been quilting since the early 70's.  Ben claims I have more fabric than Hancock's.  I enjoy reading.  Family activities keep me busy.

I no longer have family living in Walla Walla, but have wonderful memories of growing up there.  I try to visit  often, sometimes with my sister, Pat (class of '51) and/or my brother Jack (class of '55).  I'm looking forward to this special class reunion.

This is my first reunion so this will fill in a 50-year gap. 

Joined the Marines in October ‘59.  First assignment after San Diego boot camp and radio school was Camp Lejeune, NC followed by a couple years on Okinawa from whence toured Mindoro Island in the Philippines, Udorn and Korat, Thailand (with the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade) and finally Danang, South Vietnam, as NCOIC of a small detachment there. 

After the Marines I returned to climb poles for the UP Railroad along the Columbia and Snake rivers for 9 mos before beginning a 28-year career with the Central Intelligence Agency, that was mostly spent overseas in a dozen or so countries (mostly the Middle East) except for a few years in the U.S. including Virginia and California.  Places left bootprints included Tehran, Ankara, Rome, Milan, Venice, Manila, Beirut, Khartoum, Riyadh (Desert Storm), Kuwait, Iraq, Sana'a (Yemen), El Salvador, Moscow (USSR) and a few other garden spots.  Shelled, rocketed and car bombed (nearby) in Beirut, rocketed in Riyadh (Iraqi SCUD), sand-blasted in a Sudanese haboob (sand storm) and in a few coups and nearby terror attacks (Zamboanga), it was an adventure and I was lucky not even getting a scratch.  Miss those fun times, though, but make a lot of trips "down memory lane."  There are pics I took of a few places at the website address above.  Seems still to be there although I haven't added anything including captions for years now.

I returned to WW in December 2001 from the Philippines where I retired to spend some time with my Dad, who later required a heart valve replacement while I was visiting -- so I moved into his place to help out since he lived alone.  He passed on the morning of his 100th birthday in 2011 and I haven't left yet, other than make trips here and there (including the Oregon coast to visit my daughter).  Our old home town makes a perfect base for that (at least for now .... those white sand beaches, coconut palms, warm seawater and beautiful sunsets are calling me .... think I hear Bloody Mary singing Bali Hai in the background).

Some classmate friends may recall I purchased what may have been the first SCUBA rig in Walla Walla during my senior year.  Well, that became a life-long hobby (including underwater video) which took me from LaJolla (while still in the service) to dive spots from the Philippines (where I retired for a number of years) to Palau and the Caribbean.  Last was the Florida Keys in June of 2013.

Memberships: NRA (Endowment/Life), Central Intelligence Retiree's Association (CIRA), Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO), Marine Corps Association (Life), Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW/Life), American Legion, Manila Post 94.

So here's a toast to our next fifty years.
  To good health, prosperity and a long life to one and all.  Hoping to see some of you at our 60th reunion in September 2019.

terry_sisson@yahoo.com Retired - Pupil Trans. Supervisor/Mgr. Married 3 2012-07-11 22:27:47

Spouse:  Pat
Children:  1 Son & 2 Daughters
Grandchildren:  7 Grandsons & 4 Granddaughters
Activities/Hobbies:  Travel & Bird Watching

After high school I joined the Air Force and became an aircraft mechanic, stationed at Richards-Gebaur AFB. I met and married Pat while stationed there and just before being sent to Okinawa for 18 months.
 
Our oldest daughter, Linda, was born while I was stationed in Okinawa. In 1965, our son Bob was born in Kansas City, Missouri, Pat’s home. We moved to Seattle and I went to work for Boeing as an aircraft mechanic. In 1969 our youngest child, Lisa, was born and at the same time I was laid off from Boeing. That was the year they said, “Will the last person to leave Seattle please turn out the lights?”
 
I spent the next two years driving at Greyhound. When Federal Way School District needed drivers, I moved there, eventually becoming a driver trainer. In 1978 I moved to Issaquah School District as Transportation Supervisor and on to Bellevue School District where I became Transportation Manager.
 
After 26 years in the school system, I retired in 1997. The next seven years Pat and I worked the fall crush at Chehalem and Sineann Wineries in Oregon. It was a lot of fun and very hard work.
 
In 2005 we decided to try our hand as RV Caravan leaders and signed up with Adverture Caravans. We were “Tailgunners” first, and then leaders, called “Wagonmasters”. We traveled to Mexico, Alaska, and the Canadian Maritimes, spending four years with the company.
