JoAnne Harris (Michels)

Birthday:February 24, 1944 City:Encino State/Prov.:CA Occupation:Mom, Grandmother, Writer Marital Status:Married No. of Children:8

From JoAnne: My husband, Jerry, and I have 8 children and 16 grandchildren and are fortunate enough to be able to spend a great deal of time with them. Jerry is a dentist and on the Public Affairs Committee for the Church, while I teach Seminary and serve as an Ordinance Worker in the Los Angeles Temple. My first book, Out of Nowhere, will be published soon and is the fictionalized biography of a Return Missionary who grew up as a street kid in the Philippines during the time of Marcos and became proficient as a kick boxer and child assassin. It's a good read.

Jan Robinson (Dover)

Birthday:September 19, 1943 City:Las Vegas State/Prov.:NV Occupation:Homemaker Marital Status:Married No. of Children:5

From Jan:Thank you all who have worked so very hard to put together this 50-Year Reunion. Can it really be this long since we roamed the halls of East High School!

My children have heard all the wonderful stories about times shared with great friends, lessons taught by noble teachers who tried their best and put up with us, and concerts, plays, sports, and activities that only Eastsiders could possibly be the true winners! Ah, those were the days!

Then, we grew up and went on our separate ways. How I look forward to seeing so many of you again!

The journey taken since those days has been most kind to me and my sweet family. My wonderful husband and I have just celebrated our 48 year anniversary. We have five super kids and 15 grandchildren. We have lived in Utah, Wyoming, California and Nevada. While I have not loved moving, I have loved meeting and having friends in many places. It is always a joy to go back and visit with them. Wish we could do it more often.

We are semi-retired. As parents - we haven't retired. We can be found on the road going to grandchildren's soccer, basketball, volleyball and football games. Richard loves to work and so keeps his fingers in my businesses. When he works, I sew, quilt, and read. We have had the privilege for the last 12 years of serving in the Las Vegas Temple and have loved it.

What's ahead - who knows - but we are looking forward to every day! Looking forward to the reunion and seeing you there!

From Bill: Married to Carol Malzahn (East High class of 1964), 6 children and 20 grandchildren. After East High, I graduated from the U of U with a BS in Finance and an MBA. We moved to Kansas City where we lived for 37 years and raised our children. While living in Kansas City, I ran into Lynn Kimball in a movie theatre watching, "The God's Must Be Crazy".

I was an executive with Hallmark Cards, Inc. (Tax Director and International Treasurer) and with People to People International (President and Board Member). In those positions I traveled extensively overseas, for 25 years to about 75 countries. One time I ran into Jim Backman at church in London.

I retired in 2004 and we moved back to Utah becoming "snow birds" between Midway and St. George. I look forward to meeting "old" friends at the reunion.

Bruce Bruschke

Birthday:November 05, 1944 City:Highland State/Prov.:UT Occupation:Clinical Laboratory Instrumentation Marital Status:Married No. of Children:4

From Bruce: After graduation, I joined the Utah Air National Guard for a 6-year obligation excluding a mission to Austalia. Returned home to finish school at the U. and marry my sweetheart, Karen Willardsen (Highland Ram, 1962,) two years later. We moved to Mission Viejo, CA, and spent 35 years there, save 3 years in Kissimmee, Florida. Obtained an MBA and travelled the U.S and Canada marketing clinical laboratory instrumentation. At present, I am still having fun doing the same.

We have raised 4 children, all graduates from BYU and now share our lives with them and our 18 grandchildren scattered all over the western states and Singapore.

We moved to Highland, Utah, in 2005 and love to be back into a state of sensibility, with cars in garages, neighbors 40 feet away, and Wards within walking distance. Four seasons are hard to beat as well. We have house-boated on Lake Powell every year for 28 years, fished at Flaming Gorge for the same, and rode ATVs all over the State since being here. Skiing is now a memory, however.

Life is great, health is good, save a few bionic parts. The near future holds an adventure as a missionary couple on a mission or two. Thanks for the reunion efforts! Present pictures of classmates are useless, however! Wouldn't know most if I ran into them, and may even have trouble putting the names with the faces. 50 years takes its toll!
