Russell Grau:  

Life While I didn't graduate with the class in 1974 from Adrian, it is the high school I always remember. I moved back into the Star, Idaho area in 1999, moved to Nampa in 2004 and then moved away from Nampa in 2008. We are now living in the Portland, Oregon area (we now live in Beaverton) and would love to hear from other members of the class or other classes that might remember me. I am married to Tina (28 years now -- in Aug 2008), have 2 kids, Joel and Duncan, 22 and 19 respectively. I have been programming computers since I graduated college (seems like a fit, eh?). I love photography, reading and working with kids. I have also taken up recreational gold prospecting. Had a lot of fun in 2007 and 2008 digging for gold. We became members of the New 49'ers this year (see their website at wwwDOTgoldgoldDOTcom). I am looking forward to going to Happy Camp, CA this year and doing some prospecting. We have home schooled our two boys and has it been a ball! Duncan, our youngest, graduated from home school in May 2007. He had his diploma handed to him by the governor of Idaho and his name read by one of the Idaho supreme court justices. Home school is a lot of work, but it is very rewarding. Now, both of my kids are attending the Art Institute in downtown Portland. Duncan is taking game art and Joel is taking business project management. Drop me a line. russellphotoATcomcastDOTnet For those of you from SWAC (Southwestern Adventist College) the only year I attended was 1978, but I will ALWAYS remember being in the first play on campus, "The Singer", and paraphrasing the life of Christ in a parable. And who could forget "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown!". You gotta love Snoopy. For those from good old NTSU, class of '83, I would love to hear from those in the BCIS group. Who could ever forget COBOL and punched cards? And for a few, who could forget creating a deck of playing cards by key punch for poker? :-> And I remember being one of those who helped put together the first BCIS conference with executives from around the Dallas Texas area at North Texas State University. I think most people would be surprised at my size now. In 1995, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. That disease has changed a lot of how I have had to live my life. I used to play racquetball, but can't because hitting the ball makes my wrist and elbow scream. I also used to ride my bicycle a lot. My knees burn when I tried it six months after my first attack and so that's out. Because...Expand for more
