From Jackie:
Moved out to sunny Northern California (SF Bay area suburbs) 28 years ago and have been teaching elementary for 35 years. Currently teaching 25 (going up to 30 next year) Kindergartners! YIKES! I have enjoyed doing a LOT of community theater (all musicals...from a start in the  GPN choir!).  I'm involved in things like tutoring, quilting, cross stitching, cooking, walking my 2 miniature schnauzers, and Facebooking! Would love to attend the reunion but can't.  Enjoy all those who attend!

From Jill:
Jim and I have chosen to remain in Grosse Pointe, living only about five blocks from GPN. I have been a crazy teacher of crazy middle schoolers for the duration of my career... all 36 years of it. However, this fun will soon be over as I will be retiring at the end of this school year. Jim works in the health insurance business and is on the GPN Coaches' Club Board of Directors. We have two daughters and three grandsons. Both of our daughters graduated from North High School, Lindsay in 1998 and Shelby in 2003. Lindsay is married and has three sons; and Shelby is getting married this summer.  Luckily, they both have jobs in their chosen fields, found great guys, and live within blocks of us! Unfortunately, due to exciting wedding shower festivities the same weekend, we will be unable to attend any of the reunion activities.
