Walter Johnson High School Class of 1966

Classmates

The most important part of this effort is to reconnect with friends in the great class of 1966. As Baby Boomers, think about what we’ve experienced, from learning cursive with cartridge pens to posting Instagram images with our smart phones; from learning about JFK’s assassination during the school day to watching the Twin Towers fall on 9/11; and for many of us, going from worrying about prom dates to welcoming grandchildren into our lives. It’s an amazing time to be living! Let’s celebrate and share.

Comment: From the 40th reunion: For those who may not remember me, I was the chemistry and biology lab assistant, was in the concert chorus as a tenor, sang in 'Camelot' and 'My Fair Lady', and was in the Spanish Club. I was a real geek. After graduation, I went to Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where I met my first wife (you know where this is going), and majored in chemistry. during the summers I had a part-time job at NIH in Bethesda, and in a local hospital. Because of these experiences I decided to go on to medical school. I attended Bowman Gray School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, stayed for a residency in general surgery, and opened a solo practice in Statesville, North Carolina. Medical school and residency are very hard on a relationship, and I ended up divorced. We had one daughter who still lives in Statesville. God then led me to the love of my live, Paula, who was a nurse and now is a nurse anesthetist. We have been married happily for almost 23 years, and have twin sons who are 17 and are in the process of applying to college. My practice is now in Kinston, North Carolina, in the eastern part of the state. We enjoy camping and going to the beach, and are very active in our church. We have been on several mission trips (individually and together) to Russia and Ecuador. Our sons are active in sports, and are on the varsity football team as featured running backs, kickoff and punt return specialists, and linebackers. Their team has qualified for the playoffs, and we will be playing in the state semi-finals (hopefully) on Friday November 3. We are very excited about this, although it means I will not be able to make the reunion on Saturday. It has been clear from reading the bio's, and from my own experience, that your relationship to God and your family is much more important than your job or really anything that the world has to offer. It is not what you have done but who your are that counts. I pray that you will find peace with Him through Jesus Christ. I have great memories of Walter Johnson, and especially the people who were in my home room with Mr. Miers, and in the concert chorus. I would love to correspond with any of you who want to write to my email address, and you would be welcomed here at any time.

Comment:

I loved going to Walter Johnson in 1966 and thought my life had peaked in high school! Fortunately, happy days were ahead and I have had a wonderful life.

After graduating from the U of MD I met a soldier returning from Vietnam. Jim Johnston and I have been married for 45 years, we have 2 happily married daughters and now my real joy in life, 5 grandchildren!

While working for a DC patent law firm and with Jim in law school, I chose to go back to school and entered Georgetown Law School. Graduation meant a fun, challenging life long career. I started Life Savers, a property management company that kept me super busy. I loved being my own boss and meeting amazing people through a company that lasted 35 years. I also worked at Marriott International Headquarters for 28 years and retired from that fast-pace growing company in 2014.

My life has been lived in the shadow of the Chimney Cow on our alma mater, but I consider that a blessing! I Love to travel and haven’t found a place that I didn’t like to visit.

Blessings to the 1966 Class of WJ as we head into the next 50 years!
