Martha's Story
Life
I'm still living in Arlington Heights near Lake Arlington, married to Dan for 35 years with one red-headed 31 year old son (6' 4" tall!), Jimmy Olsen. Went to U of I at Champaign (roomed with Beth Klawitter) and got my MBA at Northwestern...now retired from Rust-Oleum Corporation in Vernon Hills in Human Resources. Still see old classmates around town...Doesn't anybody leave? Hope the class of '78 is doing great! (All you 60-somethings out there...)
College
Graduated from Univ. of Illinois in 1982. Beth Klawitter and I roomed together freshman year. I was an English Major!
Got my MBA from Northwestern in 1992.

ries as there were in high school...we're all cool now, people! Saw first boyfriend Paul Graseman and my Turtle pals Teri Besler Dallas, Maureen McManus, Beth Klawitter Immen, Rhea Wade Wiedemann, Sharon Sullivan Walsh, Kathy Brennan, Kathy Stange and others. I'm on Facebook under Martha Olsen if anyone wants to connect. See you at the next reunion!
10/16/2023 UPDATE: I went to the 45th reunion at Eddie's bar this past weekend. Not as many people there as the last reunion I went to, but still fun to see old pals and classmates.
Dan and I have a place in Beaufort, SC where we spend the winters. Summers we are still in AH. Beaufort is between Charleston and Savannah, so if anyone wants to meet up sometime between November and April when you are visiting, let me know.
