Paul is teaching band at City High Middle Middle School for the fifth year now. The school district moved the entire City High Middle School program to a “new” building, and so now, for the first time ever, there is an actual band room. Previously band was taught in a cafeteria.

Marilyn’s current teaching position is at North Park Elementary in Grand Rapids. She is in her second year at North Park and is teaching a second/third grade split class. She loves it at North Park and is hoping it will not be closed as a cost cutting measure for next year. She worked with a student teacher this fall, and has another one lined up for the spring.
- Carl holds a network technician job in the Catalina Foothills High School district in the Tucson area. As of the fall of 2006, he has returned to being a bachelor, and has a new place to live that is in a good location for his job commute. He has become a master of the World of Warcraft online game.

Kevin has a position in the Marana School District, teaching elementary instrumental and vocal music at Desert Winds, Picture Rocks and Roadrunner Elementary Schools. He is teaching there for his third year. His wife, Danielle teaches biology at Mountain View High School, also in the Marana district. Kevin is also a master of World of Warcraft with many high level characters. But the BIG NEWS at this time is they are expecting a baby boy in March, 2007.
- Kim is now in her second year at the University of Arizona. This year, she is working hard, not only as a student, but also a Resident Assistant at the La Paz dormitory. It keeps her quite busy. Like her brothers, she too is a master World of Warcraft player.
- Oreo, our wonderful dog, lived a full life, but needed to be set free on March 25, 2006. She was a wonderful member of the family and provided us with much happiness and love. She will be missed very much. Here is Oreo

- John Moore worked with me at DeGrazia Elementary School and has done quite a bit with the school's homepage as its "Commander in Chief." John has kept DeGrazia's homepage at the top of the list nationwide, in my opinion, for elementary schools. He has also has cooked up his own home page masterpiece, and he also made the header currently at the top of this home page. Check his homepage often. It seems to be different every time I log on. He will also get you caught up on great Western movies too.
