O'Koon Cincinnati, Ohio eyeman2803@aol.com |
In 1963, while vacationing in Cincinnati, I meet my future wife Cookie, on a blind date. Ten months later we were married and starting married life, not knowing that nine months later we would be blessed with a daughter. To make life even more interesting, I received a job offer in Cincinnati and we made the move. We had our second child , a boy, and settled in our life routine.
| I worked several jobs in the optical field and even though I
tried several times to change fields, I am still an Licensed Dispensing
Optician. I became active in the Ohio Opticians Association, Cincinnati
division serving several terms as President and 30 years on the Board of
Directors. During this time I also spent 10 years as an at-large Trustee of the
Ohio Opticians Association. As long as my health holds, I will probably work a couple more years before retiring. After that who knows what the futurer holds. I an looking forward to renewing old acquantinces and making many new ones. Selig (Sel) O'Koon |

McGurk Lexington, Ky |
| Jim joined the S.S. Kressge now the Kmart Corporation and we
began his 50 year career in management touring Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky. I
was a dental assistant for several years and then returned to education in a
Cleveland College doing substitute teaching. During this time we were blessed
with two wonderful sons, Steven and William. Steve is in Wal Mart management in
Cincinnati OH with his wife and three sons. Bill is an Insurance Claims Manager
in Lexington with his wife and two sons. Jim has retired following a heart attack and open heart surgery. We enjoy living in Lexington helping care for our five grandsons. A big part of my life has been enjoyed with my younger sister Joan and her husband and two sons. She teaches Kindergarten in Louisville for JCPS. It’s amazing how fast Fifty years can pass when you are having a blessed life with family fun Sharon Ormsby McGurk |

Green Merritt Island, Florida dodie.green@att.net |
| Hugh and I separated in Jan. 1964 and the divorce was final
Feb. 1965. I reentered U. of L. Dental Hygiene in the spring of 1965 and
graduated in June, 1966 and subsequently moved my family to Orlando, Florida
where I lived and worked until 1985. By that time Michael had graduated form
U.C.F. and was accepted to Univ. of Florida's Law School. Philip was settled in
a job and an apartment in Winter Park, FL. and Paul had graduated from Univ. of
Florida and started a job in Tampa, Fl., so I decided to move to Merritt
Island, Fl. where I still reside and work(now three days a week.
In six weeks Michael had dropped out of Law School and moved
in with me and Philip decided to move in with me temporarily-which was fine
with me. Michael married in Dec. 1990 and has given me my three beautiful
grandchildren. Samuel is ten years old and Grace is seven and Hannah is four.
They live in Winter Park, Fl. Philip lives and works in Cocoa Beach, Fl. Paul
was killed in an auto accident in Baton Rouge. La. where he was attending
graduate school on Dec. 5,1994. My heart is still trying to mend. |

I
love people so I am glad I am still able to work BUT not five days a week I am
having luck growing some orchids (so there is hope for all the black thumbs). I
have two dogs and two cats. I seem to attract the homeless ones. I have
recently started horseback riding again and am negotiating the purchase of a
beautiful five-year-old mare. So there you have it in a nutshell. DODIE OSBORNE
