I attended NAHS from September 1966-December 1968, graduating stateside May 1969. I loved my high school years there and was devastated to leave in the middle of my senior year. I stayed in touch over the years with several of my friends and was absolutely ecstatic to find so many more when connecting to the NAHS alumni site in 2000. I have attended alumni reunions since 2002, as well as several late 60’s mini-reunions since 2000. I hope to work with the Board to increase membership in our alumni organization and encourage member attendance at our all school reunions. I have always loved meeting people and making new friends and among our alumni are people we didn’t know and friends we didn’t have!
I am a retired RN and spent my adult life living in Central Illinois with my husband Dave. We have been married 46 years and 6 years ago escaped the weather drama in Illinois to enjoy retirement in sunny Las Vegas. We have a daughter Kate who lives in Portland Oregon with her husband and our two grandsons Walter and George.

I went to Nurnberg in 1952 and attended Nurnberg from sixth grade on – graduating in 1959.My Dad was a civilian with EES which is now AAFES. He worked at the Place of Justice which is where the Nurnberg trials were held.
Upon returning to the states (NY) I started working for Scandinavian Airlines, and was in and out of the airline industry for most of my working life. I retired in 2000 as Executive Secretary for Mexicana Airlines at the airport here in San Antonio.
My husband Woody and I always enjoy traveling – we now have a camper and have driven to Alaska three times, and travel the US as much as possible.
