Classmate Profiles

This is your opportunity to provide a little bit about what has occupied your life for the past 60 years.  Be as cryptic or as verbose as you desire.  Just one little word of caution -- our committee reviewer is known to strike out explicit profanity.  Any photographs you also wish to share can be downloaded in the 'image box'.

Provide as much or as little contact information you wish to appear on your profile page.  Should you seek unlisted contact information about a classmate, please send us a query on the "Contact Us" page.  We will endeavor to coordinate your inquiry with that person.

Profiles for the 2011 and 2016 Reunions have been retained.  Use yours as you wish to modify, delete and/or add more comments.

If you have forgotten or lost your personal password, please create a new Profile and we will make an effort to combine the current and older information together.  Since we have no record of your old password,  please keep track of your new one.

 

Carole Gail Thuline (Joye)

Marital status: Widowed
Children: 3
Occupation: Healer
Comment:
 

Those of you who knew me in high school, knew me by another name which was Gail Thuline. I legally changed it when I became widowed in 2006 and gave myself the first name I've always wanted. The last name was a no-brainer...it is happy and unlifting.

And that is where I am in this chapter of my life. I finally know what I'm going to be when I grow up. I am a healer and will open my own business in January called Radiant Heart Energy Works. The modality is Reiki. This is my 'retirement and my joy.'

The other part of my life was good too. Two marriages, three children and eight grandchildren and too numerous to count cats and dogs. Life is good as I've survived two rounds of breast cancer and am currently in remission.

It will be good to see you again and to hear your life stories if you want to tell.

Comment: Hello, gosh, this is great of Jim and Bradley to put together :)

What can I say, I was a housewife, mother of three, helped raise our grand-daughter and divorced after 41 years of marriage.  My children have all done well and my grand-daughter and great-grand-daughter live next door to me.  Life is good.

Comment: I have lived with Tom Moylan for many years. We met in graduate school, where we were studying anthropological linguistics and we did field work in Papual New Guinea together. We left anthropology to take up jobs in technology in the '80s. We are both now retired, and are dividing our time between our NYC apartment, our house in the Catskills outside the city, and our home in Gig Harbor.

My daughter, Christa Faust, is a writer and author of the Edgar-nominated Money Shot, and the forthcoming sequel, Choke Hold.

Comment:      Fifty years since graduation!!  However, I look back to the 10th year after graduation when I finally came to that culmination of what I wanted to do with my life.  Those earlier ten years entailed four years of university undergraduate work, almost three years of graduate work plus three years in the U.S. Army.  In 1971 I started what would be just over 26 years with the U.S. State Department.  Processing visa cases, issuing U.S. passports, visiting Americans in jail, handling American death cases, and even evacuating Americans in crisis times filled my daily life.  While my full-time profession life ended in 1997, the Department called me back in less than 2 years to work overseas part-time filling in during summer staffing gaps.  One year turned into nine consecutive years of summer work in eleven countries.  Even now, I continue to work part-time writing formal State Department immigration regulations.

     Since 1997, I have served on a citizens’ advisory council and a non-profit foundation board for Northwest Trek Wildlife Park.  Addressing local land use issues in the county also occupies much of my time.

     I just completed 40 years of marriage to my wife Gayle, who somehow puts up with my need to keep up an active ‘public advocacy’ life.  Three great kids and now three grandchildren seem to compete for my time – but they always win!

     As we head into our 50th class reunion, I must say that working on the reunion committee has been ‘a ball’.  The committee works hard, but we truly enjoy the shared closeness in making the reunion a memorable one for all.

Comment:

With much regret I won't be able to see how all the beautiful people at CP have grown even better.  As snowbirds in WA and AZ our paths have taken us to Indiana for the present.  What I would give to hear the laughter and "lies" - so please, all of you, come to the next reunion  so we can become reacquainted. Married to Larry forever (43 yrs), who is very quiet, kind and generous.  We have 3 children (Larry adopted Bill), 4 grandkids and a lovely great granddaughter, Noel (yep, born at Christmas time).  Our door is always open when we're home - you have only to call.
