Clarence
McGaughey Russel, Ky |
| After my service time we returned to Russell, Ky where I
worked for Revco DS. Revco promoted me to District Manager and we moved to
Kent, Ohio where I was responsible for 27 stores. We moved back to Russell, Ky in 1976 where I worked for K-Mart as a Pharmacy Manager and also got involved in local politics. I served on the Russell City Council for 12 years and was elected Mayor for 4 years. After I retired as Mayor, I stayed involved in City and County politics. At 65 I retired and after 3 months I got bored and went back to work full time for Wal-mart Pharmacy. My wife of 42 years, the former Wanda Peterman, and I have four children., Clarissa 1966, Jason 1967, Valerie 1969 and Damon 1971 who are all married and we have a total of three grand children (2 girls and 1 boy). |

Bridges Ft Mitchell, Ky |
| I attended University of Louisville. Graduated with AA
degree in Secretarial Science. Worked for a 3-man law firm in Louisville.
Married John Bridges (AHS '55) and moved to NYC, where he worked for Pfizer

son and first child was born in '63. Our daughter was born in '67. We moved to
northern Kentucky and have been there since.
Our family has house boated at Lake Cumberland for 30 years. Both our children graduated from college, married and made us grandparents 3 times. (grandchildren 9, 7, and 4). I enjoy water aerobics, bridge and canasta. I'm usually busy with some type of needlework knitting, counted cross-stitch. We are cat lovers and have always had l, 2, or 3 house cats. The Ragdoll breed is my favorite. John and I love to travel and have been on a number of cruises. When John was working, I attended business trade shows and conventions with him. We are busier since he retired two years ago than we've ever been!! NANCY MACON BRIDGES 2006 |

Margie Mann
Nielsen Port Orchard, Washington nielsgnielsen@yahoo.com |
| I met my future husband, a native of Denmark, when my
roommate and I moved into the same apartment complex. We were married in 1961
in Louisville. We stayed in Los Angeles for a little while, then we moved to
Grand Pass, Oregon, then up to Washington state and have been here ever since.
We have 2 sons, 4 grandchildren and one on way. After Los Angeles, I did not
work outside the home, as I was busy taking care of our two boys. 19 years ago
the kids were gone, so I took a job at the delicatessen at our local
supermarket, and I have the feeling I will retire this year. My husband retired 10 years ago, and we have traveled extensively all over the world. We go to Viet Nam very often, one of our favorite countries. We went this spring, and right after the reunion, we shall fly to Copenhagen to attend the Rotary International Convention. Then we take a cruise up the coast of Norway and will be close to the North pole. |

Gloria Mattson
Reese Plymouth Meeting, PA gjreese16@verizon.net gjreese16@verizon.net |
| A few years after leaving Atherton, I met my husband who was
stationed at Fort Knox and lived in Philadelphia, PA. We married and lived in
the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA, ran a Photography Studio and raised two
daughters. Wendy and her husband Jay work for Aetna. They are the parents of my 5 year old grandson, Daniel Noah who I adore and when I am with him I get in touch with my inner child which keeps me young. My other daughter, Robin is a professor in the theatre department of Penn State after graduating from the Actors Studio in New York City. The past eight years I have been a paralegal and notary. I have many interests. I love playing bridge, canasta, mah jong, and scrabble. I exercise regularly doing weight training, pilates and cardio. I love going to movies, concerts (Billy Joel in March and Faith Hill and Tim McGraw in June) and the theatre, mostly in New York City. One of my passions is ballroom dancing and the other passion is traveling. The picture I have enclosed is from my cruise last summer to Scandinavia and St. Petersburg, Russia. My next adventure will be to Budapest, Prague and Vienna. I really enjoy reading about my classmates and seeing updated photos. I hope everyone takes time to do this. I wish all my classmates good health, happiness and fun for the rest of our lives. Gloria Mattson Reese |

Wanda Merklein
Magil San Antonio, Tx |
| I have enjoyed being both a wife and mother of one son and three stepsons. I have been happily married to Arnold Magill, USAF, Ret., for 48 years. During my husband’s years of service and since, I have held offices and committee Chairmanships and received service awards in many groups. I have achieved their goals as well as being helpful to many people. Boys Scouts of America, Air Force organizations on the different AF bases (where we were stationed), Red Cross, Air Force Protestant Chapel, NCO Wives' Club of Barksdale AFB, and The United Way are the groups in which I have been active. In Ohio, I organized and led the Telephone Reassurance Organization for the Council on Aging. I have been President of the Offutt Air Force Base Protestant Chapel Women's group. |  |
After my husband's retirement from the Air Force, I was a sales person, assistant manager, and manager for Lenny's Dress Shop. After Lenny's went out of business, I worked as a day care worker for Mount Olive Lutheran Day Care where I taught 4 and 5-year-old classes
My hobbies, which are knitting, crafts, and growing African Violets {won blue ribbons in the Medina County Fair}.
At present, I have had the most exciting experience of my life. Because, I was told by my parents that they could not afford to send me to collage. I have always held the dream to reach that goal. This February 19th, I reached that goal and graduated from Wayland Baptist University.
I have been mentoring two girls for the last two years at John Glen Elementary School. Along with Sunday school teaching that I have done since the age of 19, all over the United States and mentoring, I enjoy life and look forward to any coming adventure.

Sandra Michelson
Smith Cincinnati, Ohio smsmith@shrinenet.org |
| I work 4 days (Mon.-Thurs.) at Shriners Hospitals for
Children, Cincinnati Burns Institute, in Nutrition. I am longtime single and
lead a very busy life, so I’m having a dilemma about if and when to
retire. (Work seems to interfere with my other life.) At present, I’m
taking Spanish lessons, round dance lessons (still square dancing for 25 yrs.),
and am a 4-yr. member of the Red Hat Society (as Lady of Spain). I travel quite a bit—last Thanksgiving in Florida, 2 weeks in February in California, will be leaving for St. Louis for 5 days just 2 days after returning from our June reunion. Then, off to Spain (Madrid & Costa del Sol) on June 22 for 2 weeks—one week at a villa in Mijos with children and grandkids and then a few days more in Sevilla with friends. Busy June! So looking forward to being with my Atherton classmates and inviting them to contact me in Cincinnati that I’m even missing my grandson’s high school graduation when I’m at the reunion. We have to enjoy each other while we can and be happy. |

Barbara Miles
Greenlee Indianapolis, IN g.c.greenlee@worldnet.ATT.net |
When my husband retired from the Army we settled in Indianapolis and have lived here ever since. With our boys grown and my husband pursuing a civilian career, I again became interested in education and embarked on a career as a reading tutor. It has been very gratifying to see children grow in their reading skills as some of them had severe learning disabilities.
| Now my husband of 45 years and I are retired. We spend our
days enjoying our four young granddaughters, working in the garden in season,
traveling a little, and hiking with our beloved Corgi. Barbara Miles Greenlee 2006 |

November 2007 Molly shared this beautiful view of fall outside her home and Bed and Breakfast in Sudbury, MA. Remember how beautiful fall was in Louisville. Molly lives near the National Park in Concord that celebrates "The Shot Heard Round The World." EBT 2007 |
| What a prologue Atherton High was to our lives' stories! I
LOVED it, and to think it is half a century later already! I can't wait to see
you all. Life was chapters: 4 years DePauw U., BA; 3 years in Vicenza, Italy (2 boys born); Lexington, Ky, 3 years and Ft. Bragg, NC two years and twins born there; up to MA 2 years, and off to Tucson, AZ 5 years, daughter born there; northwest of Detroit 2 years, and back to Weston, MA for a rather normal community life 17 years educating kids to investment banking, computer software managing, university student affairs counseling, and a geologist and chemist, to boot. There, dear friends, was my career! |

The last 12 years I've created and run an itty bitty Bed
& Breakfast in Sudbury, MA, a real ongoing project making use of the old
mother and catering role (but guests PAY when they leave), and enjoying it.
www.hunthouseinn.com I haven't had a divine two-by-four inspiration for a next
career yet, but I'll bet there is one. I should bone up as travel agent to make
more trips to see the 13 grandchildren! Although the final chapters of my life have not yet been written, I'm aware, as we must be, how quickly time flies and how precious are our days. We appreciate life more now. The epilogue must include how I loved life, family, and friends, starting with YOU. Molly Mitchell Davidson |

Lanning Louisville, Ky rclanning@bellsouth.net |
| Michigan I found to be a "melting pot" of nationalities.
Having experienced the ethnic diversity there gave me an in depth understanding
of the world we live in today. I continued to work in hospitals and nursing
homes until retirement in 2001 and a long awaited move back to Louisville. The
family we raised in Michigan had already pursued careers in cities near to
Louisville. It's great to all be in closer proximity to one another and none of
us have any desire to return north to the brutal cold, snowy winters. My husband and I, currently live at Eastwood in the Polo Fields Sub. We have left behind all desire to work and are never bored for lack of something to do here. We have found Louisville has much to offer for those who seek its resources. We are constantly finding new avenues of learning, thrive on family ties and have eagerly renewed old friendships as well as forming new friendships within our neighborhood and church. |

Robbie Myers Louisville, Ky rm2myers@infionline.net |
| I graduated from U of L in January, 1963, with a BS in
Business Administration. I was in the Army Reserves from 1960 - 1966. After
working at the US Census Bureau in Jeffersonville, Indiana, from September,
1960, to April, 2000, I retired with over 40 years of Federal service and an
accumulation of over 4,000 hours of sick leave. I worked mainly as a
supervisory management analyst during my years at the Census Bureau. I met my future wife Martha (mathematical statistician) at
the Census Bureau in March, 1961. We married on October 26, 1963, and will be
celebrating soon our 43rd anniversary. |

We have enjoyed traveling through the years (Hawaii, Alaska, Caribbean, England, Mexico, etc., as well as many places throughout mainland USA). We hope to go to Australia/New Zealand in the next year.
