Barbara (Baker)and Jim Don Hall Barbara (Baker) and Jim Don Hall.
Bonnie (Armstrong) Dutram Bonnie (Armstrong) Dutram I live in Hobbs, NM. I have 3 sons, one of which still lives at home. He is 17. I own my business which is an escort service for oversized loads.. It is a very busy business with lots of travel and chances to see many different places. On the go all the time but mostly in New Mexico, Texas and Arizona. Can hardly wait to see everyone in August.

Joyce Holland Harmon Joyce Holland Harmon: I married Hal Harmon in 1969, and we have three children (ages 29, 26, and 25), and one absolutely gorgeous granddaughter (Miss America 2020) who is the sunshine of my life. I took my first college course at the ripe old age of 40, and four years later I had a Bachelor's of Accountancy with a minor in Economics. I worked for the Department of the Army for 4 years, then in 1992 I took a position with Westinghouse Electric Corporation at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, the only nuclear transuranic waste depository in the world, located in Carlsbad, NM. I am a Planning/Control Specialist, and just recently sat for and then passed a 4.5 hour test to certify as Project Management Professional, so now I can put the initials "PMP" after my name. While most of my classmates are either retired or nearing retirement, I have just taken a second breath and see many career challenges ahead. Retirement is not even in my vocabulary. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in August.

Chris and Gene Goetz Chris and Gene Goetz - We live in an old adobe in Ranchos de Taos, where I am executive director of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Northern New Mexico, write grants for Picuris Pueblo and serve on the board of our local nonprofit internet service provider. My first wife passed away in l992, I remarried and, between Chris and I, we have five wonderful children (don’t tell ‘em we said so), ranging in age from 18 to 29. Chris is an artist, and two of our children are artists...tough on somebody like me who is color-blind. My daughter attended a past HSHS reunion with my mom and sister and reported back that I may be one of the few guys in my class who still has a full head of hair... Always knew I would one day have a claim to fame! Chris is president of the local archaeological society and is supposed to be with them on a river rafting trip on the Chama the weekend of the reunion but there may not be enough water. If that happens, we will come to the reunion, so...the good Lord willin’ and the Chama don’t rise, we will see everyone there.
