Joanne Halling:  

Life Hello to all who read this page! For me - what have I done since 1969? Well, some of you have seen me at 99% of the class reunions. I only missed the 20th and that's because my family and I were vacationing up north. I am married and have been since 6-13-1970 to Al. He was a blind date set up by mutual friends. We have two grown kids, Laura and Matthew. Laura remains single & enjoys a very full and active life. Matt is divorced and has custody of his 2 young kids. He also attends college 3 nights a week on top of working full-time.. After graduation I continued to live in Mpls. until we got married. We then moved to Apple Valley and have lived here all our married life. I retired from the Dept. of Veterans Affairs in February 2010. Currently, my days are filled with caring for our grandchildren.. My husband, Al, finally retired in May 2013. It was a long time coming but I know he is enjoying himself:) Most of my family remains in Minnesota. Those of you who knew me, know I have a lot of brothers/sisters. One brother, Don, died in 1973 while in the Army. Cindy (class of '67), Bob (class of '69), Jeff, Michelle and Chuck, all live in Minnesota. Tom is in California, Jim in Virginia, and Todd is in Missouri. We lost our Mom back in November 2002, and our Dad in June 2006. Geez, how I miss them!!

I'm anxious to hear from those of you I knew in the old days :) Talk to you soon, Joanne School Hhhmm....crushes - there were a few but I sure wouldn't want to "fess up" now after all these years!!
