Carolyn Carscallen Doyle

After graduation, I attended Hurley Hospital School of Nursing in Flint, Mi. Later I switched to the 2 year program at Flint Junior College where I met my husband, Brent. Later, I worked at Genesee Memorial Hospital in Flint.
In 1962, Brent graduated from Michigan College of Mining and Technology in Houghton, and we were married June 23, 1962 at the First Methodist Church in West Branch.
Brent was hired as an engineer at Honeywell in Minneapolis, MN and we have lived in Fridley near Minneapolis ever since.
I worked at Swedish Hospital until our first child, Kevin, was born. We had two additional children, Kelly and Kenton.
We kept very busy with our children as they grew up.
Our oldest son, Kevin, died as a result of a motorcycle accident in 1986 at the age of 22.
We have eight grandchildren and feel very blessed.
Brent retired from engineering and is teaching part-time now.  He can fix anything, still plays hockey and does woodworking including making furniture.
I have watched some of our grandchildren for years, and am very active in my church..having taught Sunday School, headed the confirmation program for 12 years, worked at the daycare school, was wedding coordinator (doing over 100 weddings)and active in the women's group. Currently, I am Memorials Chairperson, in charge of scripture readers and Membership Chairperson of United Methodist Women.
I collect thimbles, shells, rocks, stamps and magnets.  I sewed in the earlier years and now like to read, do scrap-booking, gardening and photography.  I love to read to my grandchildren, do crafts with them and make puzzles.
We have a cottage on a lake in Minnesota and go there in the summer quite a bit.  When we all get together with our lake toys...we have a lot of fun. We play cards quite a bit, too..
My life has been full.

In July, it will be thirteen years that Carl and I have been retired.
I retired from Bay Medical Center and Carl from Teamsters.
We spent the last twelve winters in Arizona, but as of last winter, we are living in West Branch year-round.
While in Arizona, Carl was Director and I was head score keeper for the International Shuffle Board Tournament. We had players from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan and the United States.
It was a great experience.
We have four childring living, eleven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Genevra Gould Fox

When we gathered for the 24th Class Reunion, I looked at the "old" alums in the class of 50 years and wondered what it would be like to be in their places...well, here we are!
During those 25 years, I attended Alma College, where I met my husband, Jim Fox. We married in 1959, moved to Arizona and raised three children, all of whom re now married, living in Colorado or California and raising families of their own. They have given us five grandchildren.
The second 25 years have been busy too.
Still living on the desert and loving it, I have owned and managed our gift and collectibles shop, graduated from Arizona State University, played tennis and hiked the Grand Canyon, Machu Pichu, the Swiss Alps and the Great Wall of China.
Currently, I'm working part time, still skiing (sometimes with a grandson who's skiing backward as I struggle to ski foward!), playing bridge, hiking and traveling every chance I get.
Most summers I'm back for a week or two at the cottage at Clear Lake.  My father, who is now 96, spends his summers there and the winters in Arizona near me.

Andrew Goulder

Since graduation, I married my high school sweetheart, Shirley Spencer.  We have four children, 14 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren, all of them living in Michigan.
I attended Wayne State University, Central Michigan University, Los Angeles State, and Northwestern Michigan CLU.
I worked in construction, Saginaw Steering Gear, Evans Products and North American Aviation.
I have been self employed as a State Farm Insurance Agent in Lake City, Michigan for 30 years.
I retired in 1995.
I became an ordained priest in the Community of Christ Church in 1991, specializing in music ministry, singing in churches and rest homes and at funerals and weddings.
My hobbies include woodworking, Beagle hounds, traveling, fishing in Alaska for the past 10 years.
My favorite pass-time is keeping Shirley happy for so many years.
