Occupation: construction Marital Status: Single From Jodie: Hello, I live in Bloomington. I've been working in the construction field for about 16 years now. I have never been married and don't have any kids. In my spare time I like to go boating, snowmobiling, four wheeling and hunting. I'm looking forward to the reunion and would like to thank those responsible for planning it.

Occupation: Freelance writer/editor Marital Status: Married No. of Children: 2 From Christine: Since I'm not really lost, I'd better show myself and become found. :)
After high school, I attended the Univ. of Notre Dame in IN. Upon getting my bachelor's there in 1991, I spent the summer at the Univ. of Denver Publishing Institute, then moved back to MN. Shortly thereafter, my first "real" job, as an editor for the children's magazine Cricket, took me to IL. I lived and worked (and also discovered my true love) there for 5 years.
When my husband, Ron, and I got married in 1997, we moved to MN. I put in a brief stint as an editor at Lerner Publishing, then a long one as editorial director at Meadowbrook Press. Now I'm my own boss.
In 2003 we had our first child, Tony. In 2006 we had our second, Maria. They're both strong-minded pains in the kiester (like their mama) and funny, friendly characters (like their papa). We adore them.
Ron is a teacher and psychologist as well as a gifted musician. Before having our kids, we had a folk band together (along with 4 other friends) that played coffeehouses around town. We don't do much of that anymore, but we do still terrorize the neighbors with livingroom jam sessions.
I'm out of touch with all but a few RHS folks even though I live only a couple miles from the house I grew up in. I'm thinking maybe it's time to get back in touch...so if I can, I'll be at that reunion.
