Kay (Yates) Cook... Well it has been thirty-three years! Doesn't seem possible does it? I have been busy the past few years. I have worked in grocery stores (go figure), banks, cafeteria at our local High School (in Kansas) and in Cardio-Pulmonary. For the past year and a half I have been a "Domestic Goddess" as I like to refer to it. I have been enjoying being at home!! I moved to Kansas almost twenty-one years ago after a divorce... with my daughter (Carolyn) who is now 23. I was a single mom for almost six years. I met my husband, Bob, and we will be married 15 years on May 22nd. He has two children who we also raised together..Chrissy-22, and David-20. They are all grown-up now...empty nesters, LOL! We have three grand-children. Two grandsons, a granddaughter and another one due the 24th of May!! Now -- Mark can post what my husband refers to as my "Patty Duke" hair-do picture!! Never thought of it that way before.... but he is probably right!! |

Richard Thompson... I attended Anderson College and graduated with a degree in Mathematics, German, and Education. I taught mathematics, German, and computers at Pendleton Heights High School for 16 years. I then got a job with Electronic Data Systems (EDS) as a system's engineer. However, I missed the education scene and returned to teaching at Eastern Hancock High School as the mathematics and German teacher. I was also the Technology Coordinator. Five years ago I left Eastern Hancock High School and became a state employee as the Information Technology Coordinator for the Indiana Soldiers' and Sailors' Children's Home in Knightstown, IN. I currently live in Pendleton with my wife Debby and our two sons, Richard and Ryan. Richard has just finished his freshman year at Valparaiso University where he is majoring in Astronomy and Physics. Our youngest son, Ryan, will be a senior next year at Pendleton Heights High School. |

Steve Prophet... Here goes! I graduated from Anderson College in 1974 and married Diane Barentine in October 1974. I have worked as a probation officer, construction, factory, sales rep. and self employed before landing at Madison-Grant United School Corp. for the last 13 years as the Maintenance Supervisor. Diane and I have been married for almost 27 years ( hard to believe ) and we have five daughters Kristina (25), Amanda (23), Carrie (23), Rebekah (18), Rachel (14) and three grandchildren Makaylea (3), Mickey (6 mo). and Keanna (3 mo). What can I say, my family is my life! We have always lived in good old Alexandria on 300 West just South of the big city of Orestes ( Go Cyclones ). Diane is employed at Madison-Grant as a teachers aide and she stays busy at the sewing machine making clothes for all the kids etc. As you can see we seem to have settled into the middle age life. I can only hope that he next 27 years are as good as the last. If you are back in the area give me a call, our doors are always open. |

Donnie Adams. Hello from Small Town USA. I'm currently living just outside of Alexandria and I love it here. After a short stay in West Palm Beach Florida, I moved back to Alexandria to spend some valuable time with my parents. After those wonder years I realized I never really knew them the way that I should have. My parents were ill and they both are gone now. I was so happy with the decision, it made a different man out of me. I married Margaret Flowers (Alex graduate from 1972) in 1978. We have two children that we love very much. Kristen is 19 and attending Ball State University studying elementary education. Donnie Jr is 14 and I'm proud to say he's going to Alexandria Monroe High School next year. For years I stayed with music as a hobby and continued playing in bands with Mark Sloan and some very good friends from Alex. In the early 80's I decided to try a life long dream of auto racing. Had a great time and retired from driving in 1997. We still have the family business with my son taking over the driving duties. I also was fortunate to retire at a young age from General Motors and pursue different activities. My wife and I own an accounting business in Alexandria that she operates very well with the help of four other women. (yes I stay the heck out of there) You might remember a neighbor of mine named Bob Dickson who writes sports for the Alexandria Times Tribune. He was probably one of your teachers or coach and retired from the school corporation as athletic director. He has a saying that he writes quite often. "Once a tiger always a tiger". I'm proud to call Alexandria our home. Make sure and stop by and see us when you are back this way! Donnie |

Patsy (Benson) Johnson Hi Everyone, Patsy here. It is hard to put together a personal history for the past 30+ years that it has been since I have seen or talked to most of you. I left Alexandria right after graduation, wanted to be free to see the world. I got as far as Anderson for awhile (ha ha), made some friends and just hung out for a few years. I had several friend who went to IU and therefore, I visited Bloomington quite often. I fell in love with this town and southern Indiana. I did stay in Anderson for a little longer and got married and had 2 kids (Amanda and Jason). Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worst when my husband was killed in a car accident. It was pretty tough for me and my little family for awhile. But I picked myself up and brushed myself off and decided that I would start fresh in Bloomington. I knew that I wanted to go to school and get a job that would allow me to support my family. I moved to Bloomington in 1975 and have been here ever since. I did go to school and get a degree in Computer Programming and have worked at IU for almost 13 years. I met someone new along the way and we had a son, Daniel. Now, I spend my time with my wonderful grandchildren, Haley(1) and Jordan(2) and my dog Casey. It has been an interesting life. My mother always told me I should write a book, maybe I will one of these days. |

Mark Feller. I retired from the US Army in June 89 after twenty years of service. I had stateside assignments in Virginia (73-74), Colorado (74-76), Alaska (82-86) and Alabama (86-89). Overseas assignments included Viet Nam (70), Germany (71-73), and Panama (76-79). I married Diane Weber of Marion (Bennett HS) in June 71. We have two sons, Mark and Steven. Divorced in 82. My wife Sherry and I were married in August 89 and have a daughter, Anne Marie, who will be 8 years old on May 28th. I've been working with computers since the mid 80's and began doing it for a living in 94. I am Microsoft (MCSE & MCSA) and A+/Network+ certified. I am currently working as a System Administrator at the Crane Naval Base in Southern Indiana and reside in Bedford. I think Jeff's and Donnie's idea for this site is outstanding and am proud that they asked me to help with it. |
