I am divorced with five (5) children: Gina Fischer in Brooklyn Park, Colette Patterson in Champlin, Curtis Okerson in South Minneapolis, Eric Okerson in Champlin, Alex Okerson in Big Lake; and have ten (10) grandchildren.

Other Information: In April and May of 2000, I spent some time in the hospital with congestive heart failure.  Although the cardiologist pronounced me "cured," I continue to have some weakness.  Following this I became diabetic, regulating this problem with diet and exercise (and for now, one pill per day).  On December 20, 2002, I was at dinner with friends at The Spaghetti Factory in Minneapolis when my ankle suddenly broke---both the tibia and the fibula.  Anyway, after all this,  I use a Pride Celebrity scooter to get around when I go longer distances, but around the house and in my building and for short trips I can walk (carefully).  My spirits are high, and I still enjoy friends and a variety of activities.

I wish all of you in the class of '78 a happy reunion.  I have some good memories from around your era, and I thank you for sharing an earlier part of your life with me. 

I am married to Elsa.  We have lived in Crystal the last 25 years. We have two children, Tom and Dave.  We have two pets, Samantha and Vic.

Other Information:  I survived. I loved teaching, the classroom, the students.  I enjoy hearing the exploits of former PC students.  One of my sons even married a former student.  After saying all this, I enjoy retirement.  I don't miss the daily preparation, the correcting of papers, (the buying project).  I spend as much time as I can at the lake. 

I am married to Adele.  We live in the same house, and worked at the same school with our kids graduating from Park Center.  Shawn in '83, Blaine in '88, and Eric in '90.  We have three grandchildren, and one great-grand daughter.  We have one pooch - Samurai Warrior - Sam for short.  I am still coaching Cross Country and Track.  I walk, read, coach and play with the grand kids.

Other Information:  PC Pride and Green and Gold is still alive and well.  It was my pleasure to work with and teach you from the class of '78.  A very special group. 

My wife, Gail, died December 18, 2002.  I have lived in Brooklyn Park the last 25 years. I have three adult children, and three grandchildren.

Other Information:  In the event you should see me, stop and visit.  Please give name and PCHS class of 1978.

I am married to Pauline.  My three kids are Sandy, Lori and Brad.  We have two pets, Toby and Tina. I have lived in Plymouth, Anoka and Alexandria in the last 25 years.

Other Information:  I am enjoying retirement, and have many fond memories of my days at Park Center.  I have run into many former students over the years, and always enjoy seeing them.  I am still proud to have written the Park Center school song, and I believe they are still using it.

I am married to Randy.  My two kids are Sara (born 1975), Erik (born 1978).  I live in Plymouth.

Other Information: I taught Math at Park Center for 27 years.  My love of hockey continues, including being a "hockey mom", and seeing my son play Division I hockey at Minnesota State - Mankato, and cheering for U of M, as they won the NCAA tourney.  My daughter graduated from Concordia College in St. Paul, and is an Art Teacher.  My son, who was born the year you graduated, has a degree in Graphic Design.  Neither of my children inherited my "Math genes".
