6/10/08 David Leffler writes: "After graduating from UHS in '68 I spent two years at IU and then joined the Navy in '70 during the Vietnam conflict.  After four years touring the Far East, training and working with nuclear weapons, I returned to the US and worked for eight years as an administrator for Palmcrest Nursing Home in Santa Cruz, CA.  I married Sandy Tompkins who was working on the Macintosh project at Apple and began working at Apple Computer in Cupertino, CA in 1983 on the first Apple Macintosh Test Team as a Test Engineer focusing MacPaint and on the LaserWriter project. Later I managed the HyperCard Test Team and various other Apple projects.  I moved up to Manager of New Products in the User Programming Group before leaving Apple when Bill Atkinson asked me to lead the test group at General Magic.  As "User Champion" I designed and built Video-based Usability Labs all over the world for our business partners (Sony in both Japan and Germany, Phillips Electronics in England, France Telecom, British Cable & Wireless, AT&T in New Jersey, OKI, Fujitsu and others). I wasn't home much and Sandy and I were amicably divorced. I left General Magic and moved to Paradise, CA when Tom Clancy (the author whom I had met when working for Apple) asked me to design computer based teleconferencing systems for the Kyle Foundation. The Kyle Foundation was an organization for little sick or badly burned kids who were home and in bed, generally looked after by distraught parents.  Tom thought that we could give their kid a computer and video connect them right back into the classrooms. The Rand Corporation assisted up in determining that the one thing kids feared the most was falling behind in school.  For little kids the ability to see and talk to all of their friends and beloved teacher everyday was priceless.  I left the Kyle Foundation and created a business plan to open the Apple Macintosh Franchise in Chico. I called in a few favors and ran that business for a few years.  I have finally semi-retired and am still living in Paradise, CA just a few miles above Chico. In the evening I still rewrite papers for the Chief Scientist at OKI, Nat Hosono in Tokyo, Japan, for his presentation to various IEEE and HCI conferences. These are mostly based on cutting edge Human Interface experiments using OKI designed medical emergency procedures, hand-held PDAs and kiosk based banking systems. Recently I rewrote his Doctoral Thesis and he gave me credit in his acknowledgments. I was greatly honored. I still have a few Macintosh office based clients these days but mostly I hike in the beautiful surrounding Sierra Foothill area nearly every day and love nothing more than to be away from computers and out in nature. Basically my life is idyllic and I wouldn't change a single second of my whole life as all my diverse experiences have brought me here."
9/02/07 Nancy Wayne Scott (BHS '68) writes:  "I went to University School for Kindergarten, 7th, 8th and 9th grades, but the cost to transfer was too high for my parents so had to go to BHS for the rest of high school.  It was nice seeing so many people's names I remember. Even though I didn't graduate from UHS, it would be nice if there was a secondary list somewhere for those of us who went there and went to school/were on Bloomington swim team/etc with kids form UHS, but who had to go to another shool for some reason or other later on, but would like to have contact.  Also do you know anything about a page like this for BHS?  thanks.

webmaster comment - We are happy to have anyone with a connection UHS register here.  You were part of our lives, as we were of yours.  Nancy is now listed and identified below as a BHS grad.  If you'll look at the Home Page you will find links to pages for BHS (South and North) .  They may help you find more info.
7/27/07 Michael McDonald Yoakam of Bloomington, passed away Wednesday, July 25, 2007, at his home surrounded by his wife, Caroline Beebe, and daughters Crystal Yoakam and Genevieve Pritchard.  He is preceded in death by his parents Mary Bob and Dick Yoakam. He is survived by his brothers Rick Yoakam (UHS '66) and Steve Yoakam (UHS '71) and sisters-in-law; a nephew and a niece; and his mother-in-law; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family that he cherished dearly.

Michael was one of the early managers and builders of the original Bloomingfoods on Kirkwood Ave. in Bloomington, then continued for a number of years as Campbell-Yoakam General Contractors, building and remodeling homes and offices in the greater Bloomington area. He shifted gears in 1992 after completing a Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications and worked as Director of Distance Education in Continuing Studies at Indiana University and later at North Carolina State University. He coordinated  cooperative training programs with a coalition of universities in Russia and travelled there several times to establish technology for early classroom links between the U.S. and cities such as St. Petersburg, Moscow, as well as the MIR Space Station.

Michael was an amazingly gentle man with fierce convictions about the power of peace and understanding as opposed to war and ignorance. He had a subtle off-key sense of humor which kept his family and friends in stitches, and a personal honesty and integrity that was admired by all. He loved swimming, gardening, and mowing on his tractor. He had a great talent for re-using and recycling materials in his homes and as a craftsman was a funky minimalist. He will be greatly missed by his loving family and fondly remembered by his friends and colleagues near and afar.  In lieu of flowers, the family asks that friends commemorate Michael’s interests in learning, media and young people with a gift to the Harmony Education Center’s Youth Media Project. Please send contributions to P.O. Box 1787, Bloomington IN 47402.
5/19/07 I just found a resistration left last September by Chris Westland giving an address in Hong Kong.  Be sure to check his web page. -- Margaret (webmaster) who apologizes
4/8/07 Antonio Amaral found this web page and says in email: "Hi - It was nice to find in these WebPages my name and that of some of classmates."
10/22/05 Subject: [UHS] DeAngelo's Pizzeria Co - Friday night (28) for class of '67  and '68 and friends

Hello '67-'68 fellow guineapigs,  How about meeting at 6 p.m. at DeAngelo's Pizzeria at Eastland  Plaza.  I will go there at 5:30 p.m. to stake out space for all of us  as they don't take reservations.  If you could let me know at eemmi@mac.com if you will be there it  will give me an idea of how many places to obtain.   Also, I will  have my cell phone 801-916-0341.  Also, for anyone - tea at Border's at 9 p.m. (also at Eastland) - Ciao,  Elaine Caldwell Emmi <eemmi@mac.com>

2620 E 3RD ST  BLOOMINGTON, IN 47401 - 5339  (812) 961-0008

Greg Mongold writes "Regarding what I'm doing - I'm still teaching mathematics in the local schools: Bloomington HS South in particular.  I also work with the other schools as the corporation's math curriculum coordinator.  My wife and I are active bicycle riders.  We began taking dance lessons two years ago - wish we had done that years ago. Our oldest son has graduated from IU and our youngest son is a sophomore at Purdue."

Ann McDonald Clark writes:  I spent two years at IU.  Then I moved to Texas and graduated with a degree in Nursing from Texas Woman's University.   I married at age 28 and spent the next 17 years traveling in the Army with my husband.  We spent 7 years overseas.  I have four children.  My oldest daugher just graduated from IU with a degree in computer science and math.  My middle daughter is a manager for a fine jewelry department in Bloomington.  My third daughter and son are still at home in High School.  We live in a multi-generational home (three separate living quarters) with my sister, and my aging mother.  I am currently the director of Lactation Services for Bloomington Hospital.

Stephen Burks writes: " I am currently an assitant professor of economics and management at the University of Minnesota, Morris, a small liberal arts college in the west central Minnesota prairie run by the University of Minnesota.  My wife Laura and I have a daughter, 6, and a son, 3."

Laura Gilligan Reed writes that Cathy McNamara Korenich died on Oct 12, 2004 at University Hospital in Cleveland.  Laura had written that Cathy was waiting for a lung transplant.

Hallie White Sepsi writes: "I spent four years at the University school as a member of the class of '68, when my father was stationed at N.A.D. Crane IN.  He was then due to be transferred to a new base, which would have meant that I would be a senior in a new school (perish the thought!).  So I took Jr.& Sr. English during my final year at UHS, and graduated early, with the class of '67.  Made many wonderful friends in both classes.
