Susan's Story
Life
Wow....what to write? Plenty has happened since 1983 graduation day!!
Brief highlights: Moved to Southern California's Mojave Desert right after graduation. I love the desert but always wanted to return to Oregon.
I worked in the photo processing industry for several years in Victorville, California before getting a job at the Daily Press newspaper as a photographer in 1987 – eventually becoming a reporter and then the entertainment/magazine editor. My job kept me on my toes and I enjoyed every minute of it.
My newspaper assignments have included a trip to New Zealand, diving with sharks, flying planes, racing cars and chasing rattlesnakes. I've photographed famous faces such as Mel Gibson and Bill Clinton.
The photos I've shot have appeared not only in the Daily Press, but in papers across the country as well as in several magazines. I co-authored the Mojave Desert/Death Valley chapter of the Fodor's California travel guide for 2003. I've even b...Expand for more
een an extra in several TV/movie projects including CSI: Las Vegas and the music video "Times Like These" by the Foo Fighters.
I eventually made my way back to Oregon in 2005. I'm now the editor of the Sunriver Scene, a monthly newspaper and Communications Director of the Sunriver Owners Association. Sunriver is a beautiful residential and resort community and I can't believe I get to work here every day.
I'm living in Bend (just outside Sunriver) and have enjoyed being back (well, maybe not the snow!!) I keep busy fishing, camping, travel, riding quads/motorcycles, rockhounding and wildflower photography.
I still keep in touch with fellow classmate Debbie Walters, who resides in Phoenix, Arizona. Debbie and I even took an Alaska cruise together in September 2008. We both attended the 20 year reunion in 2003 - along with many folks from the class of 1984.
I've been married and divorced once and have a son, Sean. I remarried in 2009 to Torry Berger..
