For me it has been 48 years since we moved from Collinsville to Hobart, OK. We moved again in the middle of my Sophomore year to Tulsa where I graduated from Nathan Hale. My plan was to go to OSU but finances made it impossible. I ended up going to Junior Collge at Monterery Peninsula Junior College in Monterey, CA. and lved with my sister, Mary. I became a dental assistant and applied and was accepted to the dental hygiene program at Wichita State University.

After I graduated I worked in Tulsa, got my real estate license and bought my first house.

After two years I sold my house and moved back to Carmel, CA. I met my husband, Ken, in 1978 and we were married in August of 1981. Our son, Gavin, was born in July 1985.

We sold our home in Carmel in February 2007 and rented until the market settled. We bought our home in Sutter Creek, CA. in July 2009. I practiced dental hygiene for 34 years.

Our son did go to OSU. On a trip back to visit family we visited a few campuses and he just loved OSU. He graduated in 2008 with a degree in business and a minor in sports management. He pledged Sigma Chi and the whole experience in Oklahoma was completely new to him.

Ken is a building contractor and is currently busy at our home and my "Honey-Do" list. Sutter Creek is an old gold mining town with beautiful old buildings and rich history. We love it here.

I want to thank Phil Sheehan for finding me, urging me to attend the reunion and corresponding with all our memories of grade school. Some mighty lengthy e-mails!
Thanks, Phil.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone, -- Irene Cribbet Edward
