Comment:  I continue to live in Fargo with my wife, Becky, and am still employed at the same hospital where I have worked for 26 years.  The hospital is now, however, part of the Merit Care Health System.  My children continue to grow - Nicole (15) is a freshmen in high school and will be learning to drive this summer.  Justin (13) is in middle school.  Both kids participate in multiple music ensembles so you can find us at more concerts than ball games.

Comment:

It is hard to believe 5 years have gone by already. I am still working in the granite industry. I always knew i would be working with rocks but i thought it would include a ball and chain. ha ha. Deb and the kids are doing well. The grandchildren are growing so fast what fun they are. whis we would see them more. Last year was kind of a crappy year. In March i was diagnosed with cancer. Went through 4 cycles of chemo. 1 week of chemo 3 weeks off 7 HOURS A DAY. Oh wat a joy that was. But i am in remission and all my test keep coming back good. We will not be able to attend the reunion we have a family trip planned. Take care and we will see you all in 5 more years

Now Now
Marital status: Divorced
Children: 2
Occupation: Hair Stylist/Travel Agent
Comment:

I am still my same active, social self.  I am self-employed as both a hair stylist and travel agent.  Since my daughters have both been out of the nest for awhile I can take advantage of my travel benefits. I enjoy warm, tropical destinations and specialize in  booking travel to Caribbean, Central America, Hawaii, Mexico and South Pacific. 


I am still enjoying living in Alameda, California, which is actually an island adjacent to Oakland across from San Francisco.  It's a quiet sanctuary,kind of like small town living set apart from busy Bay Area freeways.  I have grown to love the diversity of people, culture and things to do here.


Through my travels I have found the Caribbean to be one of my favorite places to be and could possibly see myself living there some day; maybe US Virgin Islands. I really am an island girl!

Comment: Change has happened in my life again these past years!  This time a truely good change!





In April of 2011, my dear friend, Fr. LeRoy married Doug Zachman and I at his church in Millerville, MN.  My children, Doug's parents and my Godmother were in attendance.  I was told once, by a wise older woman, you will never find another Joe Moser, but you have found his equal.  I am truely blessed.





As all of us Grandparents know... spending time with "The Grands" is our #1 fun.  





I find myself staying busy attending various sporting events for my nieces and nephews.





Doug and I enjoy taking motorcycle trips with family & friends.  I'm extremely fortunate.
