From Karen:
After high school I attended College of Saint Mary in Omaha where I double majored in Elementry Ed and Early childhood.  I got married in 1990 to Bill Earl and we started a family in 1994.  I was able to stay home and raise our family.  We moved to Philly for a short time and then moved back to Grand Island.  We have four children 14, 11, 10 and 4.  We own two businesses.  Bill is a computer consultant and I own and run Dressed to Dance, a retail dance apparel store.  Our two oldest children go to Central Catholic and our  two youngest go to Gates.  The "baby" starts kindergaten this year.  Our oldest is going to Austraila this summer with the People to People Student Ambassador program. Kids keep us very busy, the typical soccer, dance, baseball, everything parent.

My husband, James and I still live in Lincoln.  I love this city - not too small and not too big.  4.5 years ago, we were blessed with twin girls who keep us busy when we are not working.  

I've been in Human Resources for the last 14 years and am currently the HR Manager for Nebraska Heart Institute and Heart Hospital.  I'm looking forward to the reunion and can't wait to see everyone.

From Theresa:

It's hard to believe that 20 years has passed since we walked the halls of Senior High.  After graduating from UNK, I married Kent Engelhardt.  We are blessed with five year old twins, Emily & Ethan, who keep us busy with their activities and constant entertainment that comes with five year olds.  We also stay busy with our two labs that demand as much attention as our children.  I enjoy volunteering my spare time with the Humane Society, Habitat for Humanity and the Red Cross.

My career experiences have been very exciting.  After college, I was employed with the Kearney YMCA as the Membership Director.  This was a fun job that was never boring.  In 2000 we moved from Kearney back to Grand Island and I was offered a job as Tom Osborne's Finance Director for his Congressional Campaign.  After a successful campaign and Tom being sworn into office, I was asked to stay on as his Casework and Office Manager.  This has been by far the most rewarding and exciting opportunity for me.  I spent time working in Washington and traveling the third district.  After Tom's unsuccessful race for Governor, I took a year off to spend time with my children.   Once they became bored being home with me, I decided to start a new career.  So now I am currently the Human Resource and Safety Manager for Chief Buildings.  It's definitely been a change going from politics to corporate America.  I do enjoy the new challenges and the people I work with. 

Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 13th.

HA! 20 Years! Not nearly enough, but I'll be coming back! I'll be accompanied by my lovely (first) wife (4 years and counting) and our 2 1/2-year old boy Cai for yet another taste of the good life! I've been living on the Left Coast for 15 years now and I always like a little taste of the Middle-West Coast (Platte River Style), so I'll tune up my liver for some fine Nebraska-12 Oz.-Brown Bottle-Champagne - BUD! Cheers all!
