Bob wrote this for the 2006 Reunion
|
My, the last 50 years have flown by, as we all know, since
leaving Atherton High School in 1956. I have just celebrated my 45th wedding
anniversary to my childhood friend and sweetheart Monaei Fruits, who graduated
with us. I am no doubt the luckiest one of us all. For she has been my rock and
my complement in all areas of my life. Any success I may have enjoyed, I owe to
her. Next, I traveled the entire Midwest, four or five days a week
as a Manufacture’s Representative. I had the privilege of representing
General Electric at a Railroad's maintenance center, where they would put the
new locomotives into service. For instance, The Cotton Belt Road, owned by the
Southern Pacific Railroad would put their new General Electric locomotives into
service at their facility in Little Rock, for the trip to Los Angeles. Because
my territory was from Chicago to Houston, I got the credit for the sale.

I am currently semi-retired, managing our rental properties, and spoiling our grandson Bain, who is the love of my life. I am President of the Louisville East Lions Club, which can take as much time as I want to give.
I hope everyone in our class has been as lucky as I. The good Lord has really taken care of me and my family, for which I am extremely grateful.

Willard Louisville, Ky rightathomeky@bellsouth.net |
I was single for 10 years and finished raising my five youngest children after my divorce.
I married Mel Willard after we had known each other for only six weeks. Mel had two children. From our combined family we have 13 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. One of Mel's children was a foster parent and has adopted 6 of the foster children. The marriage lasted 29 wonderful years until Mel's death in November of 2005.
We continue to be a large, close family. My family is and always has been the center of my life.

Neely Lexington, Kentucky rodneely@yahoo.com |
| What I have done for the last 50 years! - Graduated from
University of Kentucky in 1960. - Married Rod in 1960. - We have 3 daughters, 3
son in laws and 8 grandchildren. - Rod, an engineer, is retired from IBM. - As
IBM'ers we lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan; Dayton, Ohio; and Morristown, New
Jersey before moving back to Lexington, Kentucky. I was able to study art at the University of Michigan and the Dayton Art Institute. Now, I teach art for the University of Kentucky Donavon Program as well as paint and teach privately in my studio at the Artist Attic in the Victorian Square in Lexington. For the last nine years, Rod and I have spent the summers in France, studying, painting and visiting French friends. |

My daughter, Susie and her husband, Dennis Thompson, own the
Great Harvest Bakery and Cafe on Hurstbourne Lane in the Plainview Shopping
Center. You can see some of my art work there. Come in and meet my son-in-law.
Susie may be there chasing our two year old who will probably be in some kind
of mischief. I just might be there also. I owe my basic art skills and my desire to paint to Atherton's wonderful Ms. Lucy Diecks. And what little ability I have to speak French, I owe to my terror of Atherton's French Teacher. Ms. Bohon. Mary Seymour Neely. 2006 |

Suzanne Silverman
Money Chamblee, Georgia |
| My life since Atherton "' a two act play. The first act
involved graduation from College, marriage for 18 years, most of which was
spent in Atlanta, Georgia and the real highlight...the birth of two children;
Terri, now 44 and Tom, now 42. They are both married and five young ladies
ranging in age from 10 to 19 grace my life as grandchildren. As a minister's
wife, I was very content to mother, play tennis and volunteer for whatever. Act
one ended on a bittersweet note; divorce, but also the opportunity to pursue
some personal goals. Act Two: I returned to school, receiving a Masters in Psychometry from Georgia State University followed by a ten year profession as a guidance counselor in an Independent School in Atlanta. When Tom graduated, I, too, graduated to yet another field in education. I accepted a position with the College Board (The SA T) in the regional office in Atlanta and, for 13 years, I traveled the 10 Southern States. This was an educational experience in and of itself as I quickly discovered that this is not a testing experience that is loved by all, and here I was helping Math/English teachers, counselors and district level personnel better understand the nature of the beast. The increasing difficulty of travel plus the burnout nature of the job led me to resign and once again seek another challenge. |
 |
I would be remiss if I did not mention the influence of the Atherton teachers on not only my education but my life...remember Ms. Sweeney in Problems of Democracy ...what a great teacher!
Congratulations to the committee that brought the reunion into reality . I have been very impressed with the efficiency and creativity of your effort...the web site is time well spent...better than sudoku...thanks

Kitty Smith
Salter Ft. Mitchell, Ky kittyksalter@fuse.net |
Being a stay at home mom was not my forte so I returned to University life obtaining a Master's Degree in Education at Xavier University (Magnum Cum Laude). Together Dan and I founded the non-profit Northern Kentucky Montessori Center, Inc. for 3-6 year old children (2 classes - 60 children). At the same time I trained interns from Xavier University to become Montessori teachers. Next we expanded Northern Kentucky Montessori Center, Inc. to include 6-9 year old children (1 additional class of 25-30 children.) Dan and I were both Founders and Members of Board of Directors for Hope Cottage, which is a shelter for homeless and abandoned children in Kenton County, Kentucky. We were both awarded Kentucky Colonel Commissions in 1975 for work with children of all ages and socio-economic levels in the Kentucky Commonwealth. We now have four grandchildren, Daniel Matthew Salter, Katie Morgan Peaslee, Megan Dian Peaslee and Kimberly Anne Salter. I had the pleasure of teaching both Megan and Kimberly at Northern Kentucky Montessori Center in the last few years of my teaching career. I continued as Administrator, Director and Teacher from 1967-2002 at which point I joined Dan in retirement. |
 |
We are both active members of Immanuel United Methodist Church serving on various children's programs, financial committees and the Board of Directors at the Church. We sold our home of 32 years sitting on four acres in Fort Mitchell in May 2005 and moved into a new Cavalcade patio home in Villa Hills with a lake view and screened-in-porch and wonderful neighbors. We sold, packed, bought and moved in less than two months. Life was a little hectic but has calmed down now. In our years together Dan and I have traveled extensively in the continental United States, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Canada and Mexico. There are few states that we have not visited and we have some definite favorites. Our next trip is to Marco Island to support Asbury Theological Seminary. We hope to continue to travel and also see a great deal of our grandchildren as they are growing fast. Life has been good with its challenges, blessings and joys! Blessings to all, Kitty K. (Smith) Salter 2006

Dunn Louisville, Ky dunnc@uncw.edu |
In the Fall after graduating I moved to California to teach science in Junior High Schools in Fontana, California, a small town near Riverside and I did this without knowing another soul out there except for an aunt that I had never previously met that lived about 100 miles away – I had a wandering lust.
After two years in sunny southern California which I thought was a happening region of the country at that time, I moved to Europe to teach science for US Air Force Dependent schools for one year in France and then two years in Germany. This was right after the Berlin Crisis and I lived on base in a Bachelors Officers Quarters which was party central.
While in Germany I married a helicopter pilot, Ray Dunn, and we had a beautiful daughter, Lynley, in 1964. We returned from Europe to live on Air Force Bases near Tampa and Cape Kennedy in Florida between my husband’s two tours in Vietnam.
| After divorcing in 1969 I went back to U of L to get my
masters degree in Biology in 1972 and my PH.D. in Botany in 1976 from Ohio
State University. I taught at the University of Illinois Champaign for several
years and I ultimately moved to Wilmington, NC. and taught at the University of
North Carolina for almost twenty five years in the Department of Biological
Sciences, and retiring in 2003. I then returned to Louisville to live in a condo complex near Tom Sawyer Park, but I still teach two introductory biology courses each semester for UNCW over the internet. My joy is to be back in Louisville and live near my family and getting to pick up my two granddaughters, Carley (14) and Emily (9) from school when their Mother, Lynley Schroering, a Principal at Luhr Elementary has to stay late. |
