Patti's Story
I was active in high school activities--should've been a little more active in high school academics!
Dated Mark Wintrow in school and we married (so young) in 1982. Together, we had three beautiful children, Amber (1984), Sean (1986), and Lauren (1988). Mark and I divorced in 1990, but we still remain close friends. (Everybody loved Mark, right?)
I briefly remarried in 1992, lived in Germany for a year as an Army wife. (My best friend became my sister-in-law for a while) Got to see a few sites in Europe, but, alas, it wasn't meant to be and we divorced in 1995.
Third time's a charm???? I met my husband in 1998. He was a custodial single father of two, so I knew he knew what it was like to have to "share the spotlight" with kids, and in 2000 we combined our families when we got married on the beach in San Diego.

e now "empty-nesters." I am a graphic designer, who in a wildly drastic career change idea, is now going to go through training to be a flight attendant! (Training starts Jan 09). My husband owns his own business as a consultant/trainer on jet engines. His job has him traveling a LOT, but I've got to join him a couple of times, and now that the kids are out of the house, maybe more?
I've been involved in reunions in the past, and signed on to help with the combined '75, '76, '77, '78, and '79 reunion to be held in October of 2010. I've found that as an adult, those "barriers" that existed in high school have diminished, and we all can just get together, talk, and have a good time. I hope as many as you as possible will try to be part of this event. Register at the website at saxmansoftware(dot)us(forwardslash)reunion. Sorry, have to list it that way cuz they block web addresses.
See you soon? Love to hear from fellow classmates!
