marilee bonny

Now

City:washington State/Prov.:UT Marital Status:Married No. of Children:4

From marilee: After graduation from the University of Utah I married Dennis Bonny and we began our life as corporate gypsies.
We lived in Phoenix, Bakersfield, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara before finally settling in Lake Oswego, Oregon. I worked for several years in protective services through child welfare but it was a very difficult and emotional job. When we decided to start a family I chose to quit and spent the next years raising my four children. When my youngest started school I was more than ready to become a real person again. I wanted a fun job and my friend offered me a position in her jewelry store. It was perfect - no stress, flexible hours and something I could leave at the end of the day. I ended up staying in the business for 20 years as a salesperson, trainer, and store manager. I was even able to go on a diamond buying trip to Antwerp.

We loved living in Oregon - it was beautiful - but you have to pay a price for all that greenery. It certainly rained a lot! When my husband was forced into early retirement by a company downsize we knew changes had to be made. If we weren't working we wanted to be playing and needed more sunshine. So 12 years ago we moved to St. George, Utah. Great decision! We still spent our summers in Bend, Oregon so we have had the best of both worlds. It also helps that all of of our children and our 6 grandchildren live in the Salt Lake area.

Life is good! My health is great and my favorite things to do are anything I can do outside (running, biking, hiking, you name it). Denny and I travel quite a bit and of course spend lots of time with our family.

Unfortunately, I had volunteered to be on the support team for my oldest son in his bike race from Logan to Jackson Hole and it is the weekend of the reunion. But even though I won't be there, I would love to keep in touch with old friends. Please send me a message!

Pamela Brasher (Watson)

Birthday:December 28, 1943 City:Spanish Fork State/Prov.:UT Occupation:Sharing Happiness Marital Status:Married No. of Children:3

From Pamela:My husband, Brent, and I met at the University of Utah where we both graduated. We married 2 years later and started our life together in Sale Lake. For a good part of our married life after our children were grown and gone, we spent time working together on Land Development in Ogden, West Salt Lake, Springville, and Moab. We enjoyed that work but then decided to go on an LDS Mission for 2 years with our Church. We were lucky enough to be able to proselyte in Spanish and English and loved our mission. We are now enjoying our children and 14 grandchildren, two of whom are on full time missions in Indonesia and Argentina.
We have remained very close to my five brothers and sisters and their spouses. We look forward to seeing many of our East High friends and enjoying an evening together.

Nancy Hewlett (Pahnke)

Birthday:November 13, 1943 City:Lafayette State/Prov.:CA Occupation:Retired Marital Status:Married No. of Children:3

From Nancy:First of all, for those of you who may be wondering, I have not adopted Barbara Rees....My husband David and I have been married nearly 45 years, have 3 sons, and now happily claim my longtime friend Barbara as my sister-in-law. She can now share the "hanky panky" jokes that I have endured for many years. I moved to San Francisco, after graduating from the University of Utah, (David followed me there in 1967 and we married later that year) I worked 25 years in the airline business in Sales and Marketing and loved almost every minute of it. We were blessed with three wonderful sons. Our youngest, Ben, passed away from leukemia at the age of 8...His illness ended my airline career and I moved into a new phase of my life. We have been thrilled to have our other two sons back in the Bay Area after completing college, missions and grad school. Our oldest son Matt and his wife Jill have three beautiful sons and we love being able to see them often. Our second son Mark got married a couple of weeks ago and will be moving to Seattle to be with his bride. He and his wife Emily met and lived in the the Bay Area, so we're hopeful they may return to this area if their jobs permit. I have always enjoyed travel and continue to do so......We do a lot of cruising these days and try to visit Hawaii a couple of times a year...(still my favorite place, having lived there in the 60's). We spend most of the summer at our family ranch up on the Upper Provo...(in Woodland, Utah)...and feel we have the best of both worlds...living in California and Utah...I have many, many great memories of East High years....and experiences there....and best of all, relationships and friends. I look forward to seeing those of you who are at the reunion...

Birthday:November 29, 1943 City:Sandy State/Prov.:UT Occupation:Aviation/Mining Marital Status:Married No. of Children:5

From Howard:

Following EHS graduation I attended the University of Utah for a year then served an LDS Mission to the Eastern Canada.
Graduated from the University of Utah in 1968 and worked as an intern with the Salt Lake Police Department until joining the United States Navy for a career that spanned 30 years with the equivalent of 3 tours in SE Asia and a tour as Weapons Instructor in the Advanced Jet Training Command. I assumed command of a Navy Squadron during Operation Desert Storm from 1990-1991 and held a Joint Service Command (Army, Air Force and Navy) from 1997 until retiring from the Navy in1998.

On the civilian aviation side I was Director of G-IV operations for Forstmann Little & Co.(a major player in the book/movie Barbarians at the Gate) until joining Northwest Airlines. I retired from Northwest as a Captain on the 757-300, arguably the best job in the world.

On the business side, from 1995 to present I have been the Managing Partner for the Little Valley Group, a mining investment company. In 2011, in partnership with a Chicago real estate developer, we founded Nevada Metal Mines, LLC, a mining exploration and development company. I currently serve on the Board of Directors of a multinational corporation where we have recently completed a reverse merger/acquisition with a major Chinese industrial company and now have a marketing and sales presence in all 22 provinces and 5 autonomous regions of China.

My wife Vickie (South High class of '65) has stuck it out for 43 years as we have seen much of the world and lived in 23 different locations in the US, Canada and Asia. We have 5 wonderful children and 11 grandchildren.

Frederick Kluss

Now

Birthday:July 30, 1944 City:Brigham City State/Prov.:UT Occupation:retired Marital Status:Married No. of Children:3

From Frederick:

I attended East High School for two years before moving to the San Francisco Bay area in 1961where I graduated from Campbell High School. I enjoyed participating in Air Force ROTC and LDS institute of religion while attending San Jose State College and midway two semesters at BYU, Provo, before graduating in 1970 with a B.S. degree in Industrial Administration. My first important job was with IBM Manufacturing in San Jose. By 1969 I developed an interest in aviation and earned my private pilot’s license, which allowed me to fly throughout California and Utah.

In 1977 I married and lived in Fremont, California, where Debbie and I were blessed with a son and 2 daughters. But alas the marriage ended in divorce in 1996 and I ended up as a single dad but continued on helping raise my daughters.

Following a downturn in electronics manufacturing I went to work as a civil servant for the U.S. Army designing, building and starting up operations for a very large distribution center in Lathrop, California. Then, in 1991, I transferred to Utah to work with the Defense Logistics Agency as a systems analyst. In 2002, I met and married Paula Steinicke. I continued my work with the Defense Logistics Agency until my retirement in 2009. My wife Paula and I live in Brigham City and have since 2006.

Denny Steele

Birthday:October 26, 1943 City:Laguna Hills, State/Prov.:CA Occupation:Retired Marital Status:Married No. of Children:3

From Denny:

Thanks to Jim Backman and the reunion committee for their perseverance to rescue me from the student missing list. Their search was probably complicated by a name change just after high school. I changed "Densley" to the much preferred "Denny" and have spent the last fifty years known as Denny Steele.

Reviewing the reunion material particularly the "bio's" brings back many lost memories. I'm very impressed that so many classmates have enjoyed fruitful, happy and interesting life's. And, of course, I'm sadden to see some classmates have passed on and won't be able to join our reunion.

My life after high school can be summed up in just a few sentences. I received a great education from East High and the University of Utah. Married early and raised three wonderful children and this year celebrated my forty-eight wedding anniversary. Work was always a means to an end. We decided early on to follow "the money" so to speak. The trail led to many cities, working for solid corporations in very rewarding positions. The end of trail is a beautiful retirement home in sunny Southern California. Life is good!!!

My wife, Phyllis, and I plan to attend my reunion. I look forward to seeing you and renewing our friendship.
