My husband and I have been married for 23 years. Our son Brandon is 16 and our daughter Blair is 14. We stayed in the Cass Co. area until 13 years ago when Terry's job took us to the Ozarks - Lebanon, MO. I have had various part-time jobs while the kids were younger, but now I've decided to start a career. I am studying to become a Radiology Technologist. I enjoy camping, fishing, cooking, and food network. As with everyone, we are very busy. Brandon is an officer in FFA and of course driving. Blair is involved in basketball, drama, and band. Of course, we are all involved in church. I make frequent trips to H'ville to see my family.

What have you been doing for 25 years?:
I've been in the news business for the past 22 yrs, so that's what I've been doing. Most of that time I've been a photographer which means I chase ambulances, politcians, felons, sports stars, petty criminals, fire trucks, police, and the occassional good-natured person! I've gotten to see history being made(I was there to record George Brett get hit number 3000 in LA) good people fall, lives saved and lives taken! I've gotten to fly in historical planes as well as jump out of one. I was a passenger in a speeding Nascar racing at the Kansas Speedway. I've flown in military planes, covered every president starting with Reagan, spent a week in Califorina to cover the Rose Bowl, chase tornados, and have even run into a burning building! Thats a few of the things I've done over the past 25 yrs. As cool as this sounds sometimes it's not as cool as you may think! But this is my Life. I still play guitar and have quite a collection of acoustic and electric. And I still dream of being a rock star.
From Edwin:
I've been happliy married for the last 10 years and we're going to celebrate our 11th anniversary on Sept. 7th.  My wife is Pam, who used to work with me at KCTV.  She retired to take care of our  6 year old son, Zachary Freund Watson.  My son just started kindergarten.
So this is a new chapter in my life, but most of you have probably gone through this already. I  matured rather late, but "better late than never" I say! My wife and son are the two best things in my life and I have nothing to bitch about, but I do bitch all the time usually about nothing, just ask my wife!

I still play my oboe at church every Sunday for you band geeks out there (and whom my daughter proudly labels herself-yeah!). I also sing in a couple of womens' groups.  We are very active in our church, and to God be the Glory for a wonderful family!

What have you been doing for 25 years?:
After HS, I completed medical school at UMKC then I was on to Detroit MI (Wayne State) for my residency. I completed training in Adult Psychiatry then on to Salt Lake City Utah for my Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship. By now I was about 50...My most important and valued role has been "Mom" to my three gorgeous boys (yes the one with the hair IS in fact a boy...) ages 12, 9 and 6. I now live in a beautiful community in southern Utah that has dessert and mountain activities for all of us to enjoy. I'm working at an adolescent residential treatment program for troubled youths. My kids are of course perfect...spoken like a true parent...they enjoy piano, guitar, and tennis. I have become addicted to road biking and average 100-150 miles of pedaling a week. To think it took me 44 years to figure this out! And I've only fallen 9 times!

Thanks for finding me Mike! Sorry I missed the 25th but the 20th was a blast and hope to see all of you at the 30th! Yikes!!!
