Gail Fox Nash
Reunion questionnaire
Personal
1. My husband and I will be traveling from Albuquerque, NM where we have lived since 1977. Rand McNally says it is 1341 miles.
2. We have 6 grandchildren, ages 18 to 22. Two grandsons are in the US Army. One is a Medic, deploying to Iraq and the other is in the Infantry, deploying to Iraq (again) and then to Afghanistan. One grandson is a Senior in HS and the other 3 grandchildren are all in college.
3. I am retired, but my husband and I have had a consulting business since 1995, and we both still do consulting.
4. Don and I just celebrated our 48th anniversary, so that is a great accomplishment!
5. I lived in Naperville from the 5th grade through the 10th grade and consider it "home." It was wonderful to have my only girl cousin, Heather, living there also. I was devastated to have to move right before my Junior year, and high school was never quite the same.
Memories
1. My favorite memory of Naperville is the Beach. We only lived a few blocks away, and I was at the pool every single day in the summer. What a great memory.
2. 1 would love to go to the drug store on Jefferson in downtown and have a hot fudge sundae!
3. Miss Scroggie made the biggest impression on me with her requirement for the Poetry notebook. Gosh, I spent hours on that and don't even know what happened to it.
4. 1 remember a Senior named Don Peterson who got a brand new 1957 Chevy convertible, black, that was so cool. Occasionally he would give me a ride home which was wonderful.
5. I remember my 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Eickhorst, very well. I would always tell my family at dinner what Mrs. Eickhorst said that day. They never seemed to be as impressed as I was.
6. There were 2 teachers that were brothers when I was in the 7th/8th grade. One of then taught us to play chess at lunch.
7. 1 also remember Mr. Lennart, who died of polio while I was in the 6th grade. He was so nice... what a shame.
8. I only have fantastic memories of Naperville and never dreamed that the farming community would become the techie and yuppie community it is today.
