Perry Baxter:  

Life has been good. My wife Suzanne(Suzanne Schmidt WHS 62)& I have been very happily married for 61 years (April 63). We have three wonderful children, Julie 60, Brian 55 & Brad 50. All three have their college degrees & made wonderful choices for marriage. My daughter-in-law attended the Navy Academy. Each has blessed us with two grand kids so we have a total of six & we now have six great-grand children. We sold our Westchester home in Jan. of 78 & moved to rural Western Washington.

My son Brian became an Eagle Scout & Brad achieved the rank of a Life Scout. I started working for NCR Corp. in 1962. I took an early retirement in Dec. of 1993 at 5O when NCR was purchased by AT&T.

I never grew out of the car craze from the time I was in Hi School. We have owned more cars then I care to remember including two 62 Corvettes that I wish I had kept. After owning 18 Model A Fords and as many as 6 at one time we're down to one Model A Ford, a 1931 Cabriolet. We also have a 32 Ford Cp & a 35 Ford Cp.., a 55 T-bird & a 55 Ford Fairlane for Sue. I recently purchased two Cushman Eagle motor scooters, a 1958 & a 1960 to relive my childhood. I had a Cushman step thru scooter when I was 14 & sold it when I got my 1st car. Both my wife & I are very active in the old car hobby & belong to several local & national clubs. My wife Suzanne retired in Aug. of 08 after running a large private school (550 kids & 45 teachers & helpers) for the Lutheran Church in Everett Wash. where she was employed for over 30 years. In 2010 Sue started a preschool pro...Expand for more
