Class of 1958 pictures and sketches

Cliff & Sally ( Cary ) Teston: We reside in Littleton. Colorado. I retired after working for two different oil companies for 40 years. Sally retired from Wells Fargo Bank about six years ago. We have lived in Colorado for 28 years after deciding never to move again, that's the nature of working in the petroleum industry. We have the four Grand kids, one Grandson just received his degree from USC, a Grand Daughter attending college in Colorado Springs, a 16 year old Grandson in Aurora, Colorado and a 13 year old Grandson in Santa Fe. We had a great time at our class reunion, it was good to see all of our classmates. Stay healthy and happy........ Cliff & Sally

Hi, I am still just a Museum Specialist at the Fort Bliss Museums and Study Center here at Fort Bliss, TX. We have two museums. I am staff at the Fort Bliss Museum. Artifact Collections Management. Yep, I get to take care of all the artifacts. This includes Insignia, Uniforms, equipment and vehicles, Documents, Photographs, Books and really neat stuff. We now have a new Cobra 'Snake" helicopter and a new M60 Tank. We just completed an exhibit on Explosives Ordnance Disposal and on the 4/1 Cavalry Division Transferring in from Fort Hood, TX and the Middle East. My basic job is training troops and everyone else and educational programs via presentations and exhibit tours, some radio/TV and the like. I do not want to retire because I really enjoy my job. Yes, even some traveling............Floyd M. "Twister" Geery "58"

no picture available Louise Schoonmaker Ratigan: I graduated in 1958 with my sister LaVerne's class. I've worked most of the time since leaving school at various jobs. I tend to upset my grandchildren as I'm not very sympathetic with their excuses or why they can't do a thing. If I could, with less opportunity; why can't you with more? I have worked for Sierra electric cooperative;Food Mart/Piggley Wiggley, NM State Project Engineering (on hwy construction) Tidwell Plbg.;Grisak Plbg.;Jack Waite construction; Pope & Crouch Mechanical; Western Mfg. Homes; Kevex Inc; Fiscons N.A.; Polar Kool; Dudley Mobile Homes & presently with Investment Housing..those were my daytime jobs. My fall back/fill-in jobs were doing inventory;managing apartments; cleaning; doing ironing;selling door to door; child care & working as a waitress...I have been married 3 times. I have 5 children 4 sons and my favorite daughter. I have 11 grandchildren 5 boys and 6 girls. So far 5 of the grandchildren have graduated from high school. All 5 received scholarships. 4 are currently attending college at some level. I have 6 great-grandchildren 3 & 3. Not bad for someone who almost failed first grade because I couldn't read. Who graduated 2 years late with her sisters class and started college at age 46 and still hasn't graduated. I enjoy reading mostly non-fiction; puzzles; writing for my family's enjoyment since they are my chief source of inspiration. On the active side I enjoy travel and visiting historical sites. I do some crafts crochet, knitting, embroidery, decoupage, quilting sewing, woodworking and when I get a little time I want to try my hand at quilling and some of the other paper arts. I enjoy children not just the families but others as well. I have taught Sunday school, been sunday school superintendent; served on the administrative board of the church and been its secretary. I have 25 years experience with Boy Scouts Of America. I have been everything from asst. den leader to commissioner. There are few positions I haven't held and few awards I haven't received. I still see my little boys from time to time. I'm truly blessed I still have my mother, all my children and grandchildren. I still remember what I'm doing most of the time. I still have my 2 best friends from before my grade school days. So the LORD willing I'll see you all in August.

I was born & grew up in TorC (Hot Springs) beginning school in the 1st grade & never attending any other public school. After traveling from coast to coast most of my young adult life, I settled down in California & finished my education. My husband William, who is from Pueblo, Co & I have been together since 1975 & resided in Modesto, Ca since 1991. We are both paralegals & own and operate a Real Estate loan service company. Other than the business, we enjoy deep sea fishing, (we love the ocean) traveling around the country and being with good friends. We have 3 wonderful children who have presented us with 4 grandchildren. Bobby, (my son by a previous marriage) resides in Modesto but has no children, a daughter Cathey who also lives here in Modesto, has 2 children Clayton & Cortney, & the youngest David who lives in Indiana, & has 2 children Jessica & Leslie. My life is so richly blessed with a great husband who's my best friend, wonderful friends & the best everything God could grant. I look forward to attending the next class reunion and and trading stories with all the alumni.
