Classmate Profiles

“Our Friends Are A Very Important Part Of Our Lives.
Treasure the Laughter, 

Treasure The Tears, 
But Most Importantly, Treasure The Memories."

 

If you are viewing this page, PLEASE create your Profile! It's super easy!  Bacically it's just fill in the blanks. Your friends and fellow classmates will enjoy reading about you, and you’ll enjoy reading about them!  Scroll down to see your classmates' profiles, find out where they are located, read about what they've been up to and view then and now pictures if they are posted.  Your additions make this site fun, interesting and complete. So we ask that you please take just a moment to create/update your profile and maybe add a photo or two. And ladies, please be sure to include your maiden name!

Your profile is important because it is our way of tracking who we have registered and who we're still missing (see the Missing Classmates page). It will also ensure that you receive the latest information and follow-ups about the reunion!  (If you would prefer to keep your contact information private, please click on "Contact Us" and send in your contact information so that we can keep you informed.)

NOTE: If you would like to be included in a printed directory of classmates and have not already registered or RSVP'd, please create your profile and register (or email full name including maiden name, mailing address, phone number, email address and spouse/significant other's name to Gryphonsclassof70@gmail.com) no later than October 10th. Sorry, we will not be able to add you after the Oct. 10th deadline.

Occupation: Retired (Former Human Resources Specialist)
Comment: I have been retired for 1 year now. Previously, I was an “at home” mom until my oldest daughter was in middle school.  Then I worked for 9 years as a reservations agent for Sheraton Hotels, and then for about a year for Midway Airlines. During that time I loved traveling the world.  Later I worked in the Staff Development and Training department at WakeMed Hospital for 11 years. I also spent many, many years volunteering for various organizations. I concluded my career after working 5 years as a Human Resources Specialist with Wake Emergency Physicians. I have two beautiful daughters who have inherited my passion for traveling. My husband & I enjoy traveling and spending time at the beach.  Our longest trip was 2 years ago when we spent 5 weeks driving 8,000 miles across the country and back visiting 10 national parks.





I plan to come to the reunion and am really looking forward to it! Wouldn’t want to miss all the fun, hugs, memories, and fellowship!!! Our class was awesome and we have many special memories to celebrate. We were the FIRST class of Gryphons and we were great trailblazers. Let’s make this upcoming 2015 reunion one the best ever yet!!!
