I'm just trying out the system and don't really have time to give a complete update of my life since leaving IMS all those many years ago. Suffice it to say that my wife Janet and I have been living in Spokane, Washington since 1980. I teach history and political science at Whitworth University, a wonderful Presbyterian-related school. My chief area of interest is Africa and I do manage to get to some country or other fairly regularly. I look forward to hearing more about my classmates.
Even though I am not good at keeping in touch, I do often think about our times at IMS. Several years ago, I did something that I would highly recommend to all of you. I contacted Wilber Yoder and got the addresses of the teachers who were influential during my high school years. I then wrote to them and was touched by the response from people like Paul T and Ada Schrock. But then again, as someone who has spent my entire life in teaching, I know that there is nothing more rewarding that getting a word of appreciation from a former students.

Hey, John, would you share Ada Shrock's address? Paul T is dead, isn't he? So is Alvin Blough I think. How about Anna Frey? A neat idea to write them letters. Would love to hear more about your life.
