Marilyn Bailey Williams.   Ken and I have retired and moved to Lima, Ohio. We have one daughter (Janet) and husband and several grandchildren nearby. Busy setting up our new home. Other three 'children' live in various parts of the USA and Canada: Barbara, in Philadelphia; Arty, in Hamilton, Ontario; Gloria, in Annapolis. Please note our new e-mail address  mw470@juno.com.

Dick & Dee (Michaels) Gray, Ellsworth ME. Dee and I were married in December after graduation and NAVY boot camp. Still married, and not too old for Dee, but I got too old for the NAVY, so am now retired. We have 4 grown children, numerous "Grand's" & great "Grand's"! We are settled back here in Ellsworth, where I currently serve on the School Board. Looking to see all from 55 at our next reunion.  You have a fine Navy day!

George Seavey. Nov 2, 2006 update:  Jan of 2005 came and I put the old Postal Jeep away and am now enjoying the fruits of labor - retirement.  Alicia and I are still enjoying Florida and our Grand and great children.  We had a wonderful time at our 50th and even though we did not get a prize for our "Still Alive at 55" float presentation in the Hands Across the Border Parade - we should have!  One thing for sure - we had more fun than anyone else in the parade!  Dick, Dee and Eleanor did a great job - thank you!  Hey! did we ever pick the correct class officers!!  Alice and I are looking forward to the annual dinners we will be having.  The reason for the annual get-to-gathers?  Look at the year we graduated and do the math.  Ha Ha.   While "home" (and home it will always be)  I notice our beloved CMHS had closed its doors and is now a Health Center - thankfully the walls cannot talk and our teachers are not around to tell stories.  Hope all of you have as much fun and school spirit in your new home as all of us had in ours.  Enjoy your time, it passes very quickly.

Lila Jane Wardwell Tibbitts. Hi there! Frank and I married in 1955 and are still madly in love!  We had four children; two girls and two boys, one son gone to be with the Lord!  Four grand-daughters, no great grandchildren yet. Frank served 20 years in the Air Force and before he retired we went into Christian Ministry; we have pastored several churches, but our love is missions and evangelism.  We have 58 churches in the Philippines; Ghana; Togo and Nigeria.  Our web site is  http://bridgeministriesinc.org  We look forward to hearing from one and all; now who can honestly forget CMHS? In Jesus love, Lila Jane Wardwell Tibbitts. Author o f"Through the Eyes of a Child" available through Amazon. lilajane37@gmail.com 09132011
