I am so very proud of my big brother, Nick ’58, who is to be honored as a Distinguished Alumnus in September.  I am looking forward to our 50th and connecting with classmates to discuss “What now?” after marriage, children – careers.

Carole Hoehn Snyder – Cocoa Beach FL 

I have replaced all of the grass in our yard with easy-care, drought-tolerant plants and pine bark mulch.  The hard work is paying off with lots more flowers, butterflies, anoles, etc.  I’m active with the Cocoa Beach Garden Club and the local library and am a tax preparer with H&R Block during tax season.  Jack is the Veterans Committee Chairman in the Cocoa Beach Elks Lodge.  He is in charge of fundraisers and special events to honor and assist our area’s veterans.  This year he received the coveted Veteran Volunteer of the Year from the Elks Association National Headquarters.  He is recovering from recent knee replacement surgery.  This fall we plan to cruise our motorsailor around south Florida’s coastal waters and the Keys.  Snowbirds:  we have lots of ideas and suggestions for winter destinations in this area.  Email me about this or for any other reason: PoquitaCindy@cfl.rr.com. 
 

After 16 years of life on beautiful Hilton Head Island, we got tired of being inundated by tourists and purchased a beautiful home (one year old model home with all the bells & whistles) in Bluffton, the first town on the mainland off the island.

Jim Schomaker – Buena Vista CO

I retired nearly six years ago as SVP of Bank of America and since that time have been living the active outdoor life here. My wife Karen of nearly 45 years and I are enjoying skiing, snowshoeing, biking, hiking and RVing. I joined the giant slalom downhill ski team this past winter and really enjoyed competing again! I have been keeping busy by serving as the president of our local Optimist Club and also of our homeowners association, but still make time for touring the country in our 34’ RV. I would love to hear from some of my old friends from the Class of ’60.

Bonnie Sue Simons Beeferman – Bluffton SC

In August I moved, after 15 years, from the tourist resort of Hilton Head Island to this beautiful new community on the “mainland.”  Health issues have forced me to give up my work as Dictionary Lady (providing approx. 20,000 free dictionaries to local students).  After 14 years, I know I will miss it, but sometimes age and health win out!
 

Moved here, where my 3 children and 2 grandchildren reside, 5 years ago after living in Toledo for many years.  Founded R. Green & Associates, Inc. in 1989.  The firm conducts retained searches and is involved with acquisition introduction.  If you own a company and are interested in divesting or require investors, please contact me.  We receive a finder’s fee from the acquirer.  Now spend weekends in Union Pier MI (aka Paradise!!).  If you are in the area, please call.  Also have a seven-year-old rescue Chow Chow/Golden mix who has become a Chicago TV personality.  Puma can be seen several times per week on our local NBC channel.  Life works in strange ways!!
 

I retired five years ago after 25 years as a medical journalist and I am now devoting my time to my knitting and jewelry designing.  I have collected glass beads and design ideas during my domestic and international travels.  My designs have been featured in ads in trade magazines.  I have created finished jewelry for many glass bead makers.  I also teach design at a local bead store.  My husband, Marc, retired and was rehired as a communications contractor with the U.S. Public Health Service.  We have three grown children and five grandchildren (ages four to nine).  We have enjoyed living near the Nation’s Capital for 42 years since leaving Columbus.
