Life CHS alum: Missed lots of you '71 grads at the October 06 CHS Open House. Lots of fond memories as everyone in the Aud. sang the "loyalty" song. Here's hoping the "Castle" will remain standing as a landmark in the south St. Louis community displaying the proud Dutchman spirit! My family of one daughter, Jamie (15), husband (Steve) &two dogs, (Goldie, a Golden Retriever and Buck, a min Schnauzer) live in St. Louis County. Jamie is a freshman at Parkway North HS. My hope for her is that she enjoys her HS years as much as I did. So far, she is doing just that. A B avg her first semester while she was a cheerleader, played freshman basketball and learned the ropes of being in high school. She plays soccer, and various electronic gadgets in her down time. I remember Ms. Priest coaching the CHS BB team and pushing us as only she knew how. Steve has his own business as a manuf. rep for a variety of area companies. He loves his golf and any sport he can watch on tv. After teaching for several years out of town, I have been in STL since 1979. I have worked for American Red Cross for 23.5 years. My primary role their is as their AED (automated external defibrillator) Program Specialist. I work with schools, business, churches, etc. to assist them with developing and implementing AED programs. It's been great and I run in to CHS alum frequently as I'm out and about sharing the story. I volunteer with the school district and at church. ...Expand for more
