Kandy Koopmann:  

Life Well, such are the plans that I seem to make for my life......sometimes they work and most the times they don't so I just keep on keeping on. Well, made it to the REUNION!!!!! Wonderful to see everyone!!! Spent some quality time w/family, friends and OLD friends, I do so hope we keep in touch and don't just let another 10 years go by people!!! Life seems to be going well for most of us now!! Most of us are all approaching 50 the way we were in our 20's and I am NOT surprized!! I was sad to hear of the losses our class had but also wasn't surprized that we'd had them, life is just that a series of people dying, I would have loved to have seen more of the people attend but perhaps life just didn't allow them this time! Here's to next 10 years my friends!!! After the reunion, I came home to IL and finally gave the man I'd been been tap dancing around for years a real shot at a relationship and we are now married as of August 18, 2007, I now live in the burbs of CHICAGO, OMG, never thought I'd do that.......WOW, what a change from the country living I'd been doing for all these past 20 yrs. But love will do it for you!! The happiest I've been since my children were small, I'm helping raise his 16 yr old daughter and loving life!!! AS OF May 28th 2009 I lost the LOVE OF MY LIFE Keith Koopmann to a massive heart attack, My loss is not even word worthy!!! I am now at the 2nd month of trying to "deal" At age 51 you would think one would know what to do w/the rest of their lives. NOT. So all I can add here to folks out there is to LOVE your families, never miss out on a moment to show them, don't let them leave this earth w/YOU the survivor having regrets!!! I personally do NOT, Keith and I had our ducks in a row (so to speak) but his family will forever live w/the guilt!!! Da...Expand for more
