For all time, I would like to set the record straight about nothing behind my name in the yearbook. I always felt somewhat slighted, but I was working thru-out high school, so not a lot of activities to brag about. But I did receive a perfect attendance award for all four years. As you probably are aware cutting class was a big deal back then, and I never did. I was never late or absent for four years. No big deal, but for a high school kid, it was.

After graduating from BDHS, I attended college for a year (now the Univ of Indpls). I met & married Doug Newkirk. After 4 years of military and 2 years of college for him, I asked for a divorce. I moved to the Phoenix valley with my retiring parents in Nov 1974 (I'd fallen in love with the warm, dry climate here on a winter vacation in 1973). I met Bob Blaylock a month later. We dated for about 6 months, and were married in the Mesa Arizona LDS Temple in August 1975. We've been happily married for 32 years and have 5 children and 4 grandchildren (with another grandbaby due in December!).

Our older daughter married in our home and blessed us with our first two grandchildren, then divorced. She then got reacquainted with an old family friend, who loves her and her kids, and they've been married for over two years. Our oldest son married his sweetheart in the same Temple here and they have two children (and one on the way). Our middle son is married also, no children yet. His wife is in school to be an ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter. We have two still at home (a daughter in High School and our youngest son is in Junior High).

My husband works for Safeway, Inc as the HR Manager (over employment) for the Phoenix Division. I'm an aide at a local elementary school, so when the kids have "no school" days - I do too. Our youngest son has autism and I've tried to keep up with the latest with research projects. In 2002, the National ASA Conference was in Indianapolis, so I flew to Indy that July. It was great to visit with family and friends!

My last time to visit Indpls was in August 2005 after my father passed away in his sleep quite unexpectedly (here in Sun City, AZ). We brought him "back home" to rest next to my mother (who had passed away from Alzheimer's in 1988). My husband Bob and our kids had never been to Indpls, so while there my brother (1958 BDHS graduate) and I drove past our growing-up memory days and favorite places (including the "old" BDHS). I finally got to take my family to the Steak 'n Shake on Washington Street!! We also did a quick tour of the Indianapolis Children's Museum (before leaving for the airport to fly back to Arizona). Two of our grandchildren were with us and loved it !!

Bob and I just took an anniversary trip before school started again this year. We flew to Buffalo and got to see Niagara Falls, drove across New York State to Boston and back across to Pittsburgh (where our middle son had served his mission for the church for 2 yrs), then a little bit of Ohio - and flew back home. We saw some special placed that we had really wanted to see for a long time. It was a great trip for us!

Great effort with the web site!
I've moved to the Washington, DC area and last May I married a wonderful lady who has lived in Cincinnati for the last 20 years. Ginger is originally from Birmingham, AL, and we attended her 35th high school reunion this summer. We met through my only child, Tim, Jr, who just finished his masters in vocal performance at the College Conservatory of Music at the U of C. He and Ginger were in church choir for 4 years together before I met her! My son is a tenor, and he is pursuing a career in opera.
I've been a consultant to the Navy for Booz Allen for 8 years since my retirement from the Navy, based on my experience on five nuclear submarines, with service on both coasts and command of a fast attack submarine for 3 years stationed out of Norfolk.

Wife Karen, 4 children: Kristi, Shane, Sallie, & Travis. And one grandchild: Lydia.
After leaving Indy. spent 14 years in Paris, Illinois, 7 in Wausau, WI and now about 8 in West Fargo, ND. Yes it's really cold up here sometimes; the worst I have seen is -40 with a -80 degrees chill factor.
As I recall, the '65 basketball team beat both Lebanon with Rick Mount and Washington with Bill Keller that year, and won the Sectional for the first time in 30+ years.
(Webmaster's note: Ben Davis won the sectional in 1958, under coach Marion Fine. Of course, it was his brother Evan Fine who coached us to the sectional title in 1965. A great year for us--Remember that Washington won the state championship with just two losses--one to Manual, and one to BEN DAVIS!)---Dan

Since 1989 I have been employed at the Indiana State AFL-CIO, which is an organization that serves some 800+ Local Unions and their 240,000 union members throughout the state. My title there is that of Secretary Treasurer, a job which entails keeping all of the financial records in order, plus doing all the Legislative Lobbying for Indiana State AFL-CIO working families, both here in Indiana and Washington DC, with the various elected officials who represent the citizens of Indiana.
I have been married to the same wonderful woman since 1972, and we have two great sons age 26 and 23. Our oldest son Adam (AJ) lives and works in Denver, Colorado where he is employed in the commercial real estate business with C. B. Richards Company. We don't look for him to move back to Indiana because he loves the outdoor life in the mountains and skiing.
Our youngest son Andy just graduated from Indiana University, where he played Big Ten football at the position of kicker and punter. Currently he is trying to earn a job in the NFL as a kicker. Just last season he kicked a 50 and 53 yard field goal and the 53 yarder set the record for the longest field goal ever made in the IU stadium. We are all hopeful that he at least gets the opportunity at the professional level of the sport.

Got this note from Sandy, Nov 2004:
"Hi Dan, 40 years is a lot to cover so hope you are sitting down lol.
After high school I worked at the phone company in various jobs including long distance operator, mobile phone operator (remember when the operator had to complete those calls) and in Network Management (I was on of the people making the recording: "Due to heavy Christmas calling, your call can not be completed at this time. Please hang up and try again later.")
I saved my money and went to IU in Bloomington. I graduated in 1972 with a BS in Recreation. My first job after that was with the Department of Defense in Vietnam. I ran a recreation center for enlisted personal and I was one of the ones you might remember from the news trying to grab a helicopter to get out at the end. I left two days before the total pullout. But I survived and overcame my shyness and, by the time I got back, got accused of taking assertiveness training. :o) You had to be assertive to get out of Vietnam alive.
After I returned I have a few jobs in recreation. ie: I was an assistant camp director for the Girl Scouts (that was a fun job); a Supervisor of Recreation at Richmond State Hospital in Richmond Indiana; and finally Director of Arts and Crafts at the Dayton Ohio VA hospital.
In 1979 I returned to school. I got a Purdue degree from IUPUI in Electrical Engineering Technology. It was a real challenge and a totally different direction to go but it was what I needed at that time. In 1983, I left Indiana and became a Test Design Engineer at Hughes Aircraft Company in Tucson Arizona. I worked on the guidance section of various missiles including the smart bomb that they have shown a lot on film of Desert Storm. I got to go overseas again during that effort. I was at Hughes for ten years; then it was time for another career change.
I decided I wanted to use my intelligence to build something besides missiles. I started studying again and passed my test for licenses to qualify me to be a financial advisor. My analytical and problem solving training I got in Engineering is a big asset in this field. So now I am building retirement planning and financial security for individuals and small busineesses. I was a rookie in a major brokerage training program for two years. I got excellent training there but it was not the right environment for me. From there, I became an Investment Advisor Team Leader for a bank. In 2000, I left to start my own independent practice. That suits me well since I can research and provide financial advice to individuals and small business without being tied to any proprietary products. In other words, I can find the best solution for the client instead of what brings an employer the most revenue. I extented my training past the basic broker training and am a Register Investment Advisor. I can direct my clients to stocks, bonds, mutual funds, retirement plans etc. The majority of my clients pay me an advisory fee instead of the traditional commissions so there is no conflict of interest...the better I do for my clients the better I do for myself so its a WIN-WIN situation. I love my job and am very glad I made this final career change.
You asked where I live now...... I grew up in Clermont and my family remained there past my graduation from IU. Now I still live on the west side but am within walking distance of the old BD high school. The broker dealer I clear thru has a branch office in Carmel but I mostly work from my home and meet my clients in their homes. So after traveling the world you might say I am back home.
I do remember you from high school. I think we had a class or were in a club together. Like you, I was very shy. Most of my friends were people I had known from Clermont. People like Dottie Miller, Anna Collins, Chuck Farnsley, Michelle Norquest, Cheryl Kelly are a few that come to mind. I was on a board of directors not that long ago with Mike Linn.
Isnt it interesting that you and I (both so shy) end up in public contact jobs.....my clients and your radio work.
You have done a nice job on the website and I know its taken a lot of effort. Thank You."

What a great job you did on the BDHS website. What fun it was to see what old classmates are up to. Too bad more of them don't respond!
Anyway, here's my latest info. We were only in New York for a couple of years. In February 1997 we moved back to California to the Monterey Bay area.
My husband, John, and his partner own Ripcord Games which is a software publisher of PC games and Sega Dreamcast games(www.ripcordgames.com). I work there as well as the Office Manager.
John and I just celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary. We have two sons, Sean and Eric. Sean is 31, divorced and is the father of our beautiful 11 year old granddaughter, Kimberly. He is a physical ed teacher at a local high school. Eric is 28, single and lives in Portland, OR. He is a sales rep for video/console game products.
My parents retired and moved to San Diego in 1985 so I see them quite often. My brother and sister are still in Indianapolis but I don't get there very often. They would much rather visit us in sunny California.
