Ruth Ryding Yamaguchi has two sons, 27 & 23

Reading the bios and entries has been a nostalgic trip evoking many memories not visited for a long time. I recently received an email from Sara Smith Sevey -- whom I haven't seen probably since the sixties, along with most of our classmates.
A forty-year reunion seems the perfect time to head back to Minnesota. I left Minnesota in 1967 and have lived in Salt Lake City (twice), California, Arizona, and, since 1982, Baldwinsville, New York, which is a suburb of Syracuse.
My husband and I married in Salt Lake City in 1975 and have two sons - Mikael, 27, living in Boston, and Mark, 23, living in Syracuse.

Back to school
Over the years, I have been in touch with Sheri Platto (class of '66), and more recently have been in email contact with Kathy Sherry Skadsberg and Lynn Dietz Evans.
After my youngest son graduated from high school, I decided to go back to school and in 2003 I graduated from the State University of New York at Oswego with a BA in English and Philosophy. As the saying goes, better late etc., and for the past year I have been working at Onondaga Community College in the math dept. . . . . go figure.
I am seriously working on attending the reunion, another ten years and how many of us will be left?
