sgwinn@tccu.com Mortgage Loan Officer Single 2 2012-07-11 22:28:03
Children:  2 Sons
Grandchildren:  3 Grandsons & 2 Granddaughters


After graduation I worked for Walla Walla Federal Savings and Loan for a few years.  In 1960 I married Doug Gwinn. In 1963 our beautiful son, Todd, was born and in 1966 my other doll, Scott, joined our family. In 1968 we moved to Hoquiam, WA for job reasons, and after living in Tacoma for four years we moved back to Hoquiam, and here I have stayed for all of these years.  Doug and I divorced in the 80’s. 
 
I am blessed to have my sons and families live in the same town as I do, so that I can grow old with my grandchildren around me.  They range in age from 12 to 20 - three boys and two girls, plus I have two wonderful daughter-in-laws and they love my sons, which makes me happier than I can tell you.
 
I have worked various places throughout my life and am still working as a mortgage loan officer for a Credit Union.  My health is good. I have my own home and a wealth of friends.  What more can I ask for?  Life is good and meant to be enjoyed. This sums up my life:  walk to the edge, dance every day, laugh until it hurts….and love often.
 
I am looking forward to seeing each and every one of you at our reunion.

Hello out there,

 Just out of school I worked at several places around Walla Walla and ended up working on a ranch S.W. of Umapine for a couple of years. It was there that I met the next door ranchers daughter Jan. We are still married and now have 3 children, 6 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
 
 I started with the Forest Service in 1964 at Walla Wallla as an Engineering Tech. in 1970 we transfered to Lakeview Oregon where I was in charge of Transportation Planning, Road Location and Cadastral Surveys over the whole forest.
In 1974 we transfered to Kamiah, Idaho where I continued to be in Transportation Planning and Road and Trail Location.
 
 I was able to retire in 94 after 30 years.
While I was still working we had a float trip business on the Salmon River for 12 years, a  Drift Boat Steelhead Fishing business on the Clearwater and also a taxidermy business on the side. 

 After retirement I built 2 log homes and 3 cabins by hand from raw (Bark on) logs. We now have a house in town and a ranch in the foothills where I spend a lot of time. Right now the elk are eating hay with my horses!
  
  We have also had a Country Western Band for the last 20 years. I play guitar and sing and Jan plays drums and sings harmony.
 
 Most of my recreation is and has been centered around the outdoors. I love to hunt and fish. 

  We live a quiet lifestyle here. It is 70 miles to the nearest traffic light. We cut and burn our own wood, grow a big garden; chase down kill and process our own meat, and catch our own fish. Our children have all had to move away to get started, but have all moved back to enjoy this lifestyle.

Our activities in Kingwood keep us busy, but we hope to travel more and spend more time with our grandchildren in the days ahead. Retiring is like halftime, it is a time for refocusing on the next phase of our life and how we can serve others.
 
I am looking forward to the reunion and am saddened by the tragic loss of so many of our classmates before their time.

Hi everyone

As most of you know, class mate Bonnie Phares and I went together in high school and we got we got married on October 16th 1959. We will celebrate our 50th class reunion this year and will also celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.

We now live in Tigard Oregon, (Summerfield) a 55 and older retirement complex. Our complex has a golf course which Bonnie and I play often. We love it here and we are very lucky to be able to live in such a nice retirement complex.

 

Overview of our life.

We have two wonderful sons.

Both sons graduated from the University of Oregon. Go Ducks

 

Richard and his family live In Camas Washington. They have seven children and six grandchildren. (Good Mormon boy)  It is hard to believe that we have seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Richard is a sales representative for The Tapco Group a company in the housing building products industry.

 

Jay our youngest son lives with his wife Tricia in Beaverton Oregon. Jays wife Tricia is a school teacher. They have no children.

1959-1969

I went to work for the Bon Marche starting in Walla Walla in sales and ended my stay with them in Ogden Utah as Divisional Merchandise manager of all apparel. In those years we also lived in Pendleton Oregon, Richland Washington.

1970-1976

I became a partner with The Broadway department stores, a Jr. Department store operation that had seven stores in Oregon and Washington. We moved to Eugene Oregon where the corporate office was located and I supervised all the buying and advertising.

1977-1980

We sold our interest in the Broadway stores and Bonnie and I opened an updated women’s apparel store in downtown Eugene. Our timing was not good. The eighties recession set in and we closed the store in 1980.

1981-2003

Bonnie was an account manager for Hallmark cards from 1988 to 2003. Bonnie had three accounts that she managed and she enjoyed this job very much.

I went to work for the Emporium department stores in the corporate office located in Eugene Oregon. The Emporium had thirty two department stores located in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California and Nevada. I was the divisional merchandise manager of accessories/cosmetics, intimate apparel and the home division. I was in charge of all buying and advertising of these three divisions. I had six buyers that worked for me and we were in the market on a monthly basis in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and Atlanta.

2004-Present

Retired and enjoying every minute of it.
