Rick and I have been married 32 years and this coming May 13th will make it 33 years!  We have two children, our son, Todd (age 28, soon to be 29 on January 21st) is an attorney and due to law school debts is still living at home.  Our daughter, Dana (age 26) is living and working in Evanston, IL and doing well.  We have three German Shepherds:  Sasha, Gunther, and Wrigley, and they definitely require us to exercise them, thereby, exercising ourselves!

Ric Sisi with Suburban Accents in Rolling Meadows applies newly designed decals to a Naperville police car. The department is unveiling five new squad cars with updated designs &151; the first change since 1998.

Naperville police cars sport spiffy new decals

Look! There in the street. Is it a taxi? Another roving tourist trolley? A DeLorean that can travel through time?

No, it's a Naperville police car. But residents will notice a change in its appearance beginning this week.

The Police Department's five new 2005 Ford Crown Victoria squad cars will be sporting different designs than their older counterparts, said Sgt. Vince Gortner, traffic division supervisor. The last time the department changed its squad car design was 1998, when it outfitted its cars with a decal pattern of black-and-blue stripes with blue-and-black script identifying the cars as "Naperville Police" vehicles.

The new decal pattern uses similarly colored blue and black stripes, which now cover the entire top half of the car and wrap over the trunk and around the back, Gortner said. The police lettering is in white in the middle of the stripes.

The design is in contrast to neighboring communities, where some cars feature overly complicated graphics and lettering that is so ornate it can be difficult to read, Gortner said. Naperville polled officers before settling on a simpler, bolder design, he said.

"Squad cars are important; they're the most visible representation of the Naperville Police Department in the community," he said. "Other than the police station, people associate the image of the department with the cars. We want them to look sharp. We want them to be immediately recognizable as police cars."

The department won't outfit its whole fleet of more than 70 vehicles, Gortner said. Most traffic enforcement cars are unmarked, and supervisors, detectives and police Chief David Dial drive different vehicles. Eventually, the department's fleet of around 30 squad cars will all feature the same design, he said, but decals will only be applied to new cars when an old vehicle is due for replacement.

Squad cars are typically replaced after 90,000 miles, Gortner said, which is about a three-year life span in police service. This year, the department will receive only the five new cars, he said, but next year could be due for around 12 new squad vehicles.

Gortner has driven each new, white squad car to a garage in Rolling Meadows over the last several days. Once decals are applied to one, he drops another one off. The cost is about $450 per car for materials and labor, he said. The price was deemed the best value from among competitive bids which ranged from around $300 to $700 per vehicle, he said.

At least one aspect of the decal design will be familiar — and hopefully as effective. The new decals will retain a reflective film that makes cars more visible at night and when cars are in traffic.

10/31/204 Lynne Jarzembowski Lynne Jarzembowski Kelley has been found.  Lynne had this to share:

I'm 53, single, mother of one (25 year old daughter), live in a 76 year old home in the northern suburbs, have been in the home building industry for over 30 years, healthy (save the typical "middle-age" maladies) and happy and content with my life.

10/15/2004 Website
Updates
There have been a lot of recent additions to the website. I want to thank all those alumni who allowed me to borrow their originals so I could share them with all of us. I have added several sections under each class.

One is for each years school calendar. Remember those great calendar girl pictures???  So far just the '66-'67 calendar is available

On Stage is for pictures and programs from stage performances, plays, musicals, orchesis, etc. If you're looking for a particular performance you'll may need to check all the years to find the right one.

Another is Commencement Memories which will include the Commencement Program for each year. So far I only have the programs for the class of '68 and '69.

Another section is the Senior Spokesman which will be copies of each classes senior edition of the spokesman.  So far the Senior Spokesman for '69 and '70 are available.

The class of 1972's 20th reunion (1992) books is now available.

I've also added a section for the high school bands, but I don't have them linked from the main page yet. The direct link to these pictures is http://www.whs69.com/band/index.html.

If you have any materials, programs, newspaper articles, personal pictures you took, or any other memorabilia that you'd like to contribute and share with all the alumni please contact me. The more stuff that's offered here the better the memories.  Thanks!  Gary Hedberg '69

Jeff Hayes Update from Jeff Hayes:

By way of catching up, I have lived in Mundelein for the past 30 years. My wife, Linda, who is a cousin of Rich Kilarski, and I have been married for 31 years. Our oldest daughter, Kelly, lives in Brooklyn, NY, where she dances professionally and teaches dance. Thankfully, she is using her BFA in Dance Performance from the University of Iowa. Our youngest daughter, Heather, has a BA in Mathematics from the University of Iowa and a MA in Mathematics Education from National Louis University. She lives in Houston with her husband of less than two months, Aaron. Heather teaches 8th grade math, Aaron is the youth minister at an Episcopal church.

10/10/2004 Patty Craig I received additional sad news today that our classmate Patty Craig, took her own life recently.  I'm trying to follow up and get more specifics.  When I get any additional information I will post it here.  Patty was on the missing list
Sorry no yearbook picture was available I received news today that Keith King passed away many years ago.  He was in the Navy at the time and according to the information I received and there seems to be some red tape surrounding the cause of Keith's death. I'm following up. Keith had been on the missing list.
10/04/2004 Gloria Wuich Gloria Wuich Chandler has really made a dramatic move:

It appears that I have left my home in Florida at a very opportune time, avoiding all the hurricanes that have hit Fort Pierce where I had lived for the past 22 years. Left Florida the first week in August to start a new teaching job in Shanghai, China. I am teaching high school English (Grades 9, 10, and AP-12) at Concordia International School Shanghai. My new address, phone number, and email follow. Unfortunately, my friends and colleagues pack in Fort Pierce have not been as fortunate. It may take months before life is back to normal. However, I am enjoying China and looking forward to visits from many friends and family members as I have signed a three-year contract to teach here. Hope to hear from you soon. Don't know when I'll make it back to the states for a WHS Homecoming - but maybe one day. Take care and hello to all back in the states.

Note

I'm in the process of going through every name on the missing list from every class (1,349) and checking it against the 2001 WHS Alumni Directory, and then checking to see if the missing person may have had any siblings that went to WHS, or Hersey, or BGHS.  I've decided to just make all the phone calls myself.  Trying to coax others to do the calling is a lesson in personal head bashing :-)  Unfortunately more and more of us are passing away and my opportunity to take advantage of sibling-alumni is going to become less and less useful the longer I wait to do this.  So I'm just going to bite the bullet and do it myself.   I'm already up to the "B"'s :-)

09/07/2004 Ric Sisi Rick Sisi spent his holiday weekend at the 50th anniversary of the NHRA at Indy
Greetings---friends,
 
This weekend was the 50th anniversary of the NHRA. We were lucky enough to be involved with a 'NEW KID ON THE BLOCK," T.J. Zizzo.  We are an associate sponsor for this new and very exciting team. They have only run a few races this year in TOP FUEL, but were right there with the BIG boys in Indy this weekend. T.J. consistently turned 4.7 second runs at speeds of over 311mph in the quarter mile. I took the family down to Indianapolis for this event, and I am pretty sure they had a GAS!  If you have never been to a NHRA Top Fuel race, take the time to get to one. You will have the thrill of a lifetime. You can read more on this weekends event at http://www.nhra.com/ if interested. I have attached some pictures from this weekend as well. In case you have forgotten....I am the BALD guy in the red shirt.

08/05/2004 Ed Haase

Many thanks to our classmate Ed Haase!  Ed took on the challenge of contacting all our classmates that still live in the 847 area code, about 150 of them, that I didn't have e-mail addresses for.  Ed did a superlative job.  Ed's work resulted in 19 additional e-mail addresses.  It was also amazing that there were 36 classmates he was able to contact that had NO e-mail address!  What's even more amazing is that 43 of the alumni Ed called either didn't have answering machines or refused to return his call.  Now for the bad news...16 of our classmates have moved and the addresses I had in the database are no longer valid so these classmates are now on the missing list.  I was able to quickly locate one of them however.  Here are the new members of the missing list:

Update from Lynn Cripe Luoma & Lane Luoma...yep, still married after all these years!!!
 

Lane is still pedaling golf clubs for Cleveland Golf. We sold the golf course (YIPPEE!) and also our other wholesale golf business. I am still teaching kindergarten, they keep me in check and very tired! Our oldest son Kevin got married in October and is living in Seattle. Our second son Kyle is repping for Cleveland Golf in southern Indiana. He's a clone of Lane and wants to be just like his dad, for whatever reason! He is getting married in Sept. Our baby Kimmie just graduated from I.U. and took a job in Chicago, she will be living in Lombard and working at Oakbrook. We just made our LAST tuition payment and are adjusting to being full blown empty nesters!! That didn't take us long at all!

Lynn also offered some updated information on Rich Schachner...

Rick Schachner's wife was here to visit on Memorial Day. They just sold their house in Ohio and are building a house in St. Louis. Rick is a general partner with Edward Jones and doing very well. Their oldest son Jason is an attorney in Chicago and working on taking a job with the Secret Service. Their second son Justin just graduated from Miami University in Ohio and has taken a job with the C.I.A. in D.C.

Take good care of yourself.

 

04/24/2004 Debi Cooper News from Debi Cooper Knickerbocker:
 

Hi Gary --In response to the reunion -- as of right now I won't be able to attend.  We'll be in Florida that weekend visiting friends.  If the date should change I would probably try to attend.  Hope all is going well with you and your family.  Heather had a baby boy on September 7.  I'm really enjoying the grandma stuff.  Otherwise everything's going along fine -- George still works for the village of Elk Grove, I'm still in special ed., Stan Jr. is now a full fledged member of the Northbrook Police Dept., Heather's a stay-at-home mom right but will possibly resume her teaching career at some point and her husband Ross is an assistant principal.  I saw Mary Allen Thomas and Eva Conroy Brinck not too long ago -- it was so good to see them.  I'll be waiting to hear the final plans on the reunion.    Love, Deb

 

04/19/2004   Well we have one less unaccounted for person in our class.  No, no one died!  This one had always been a mystery to me because no one knew of Alexander Kyle.  No one remembered him from any of our 4 years at school. Well tonight I solved the mystery.  It seems Alexander "Sandy" Kyle went to Arlington High School from 1960 through 1964.  He went into the Navy right after what his siblings (WHS Grads Linda Kyle '68, John Kyle '72, and Jim Kyle '72) thought he had graduated. Well apparently he hadn't, as Linda recently found out.  Alexander got his GED 4 years later when he got out of the navy and his GED was issued by WHS so by Wheeling High School's records he graduated from Wheeling.  So our graduating class official records are decreased by 1. Total of 752 until otherwise revised at a later date :-)

Janet Johnson
Please click on picture to go to Jan's Memoriam Page

I'm sorry to have to pass along this sad information.  Janet Johnson Trsar '69 passed away this morning after losing her battle with breast cancer.  Janet's  husband Dale Trsar is a class of 1967 grad.  Janet is one  of 8 siblings. Her twin brother Jim Johnson also graduated with the class of '69.  Younger brother Marty Johnson spent 2 years at Wheeling and then went to Hersey for his last 2 years when the schools split.  Marty is married to Denise Rozzano '71 All the other younger siblings graduated from Hersey. 

I spoke with Jim a few minutes ago.  He told me that there will be a gathering this coming Saturday, March 27th, at the Evangelical Free Church of Arlington Heights from 9-11am with funeral services to follow immediately. 

The family has asked that flowers not be sent but that donations be made in Jan's name to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.  Donations can be made by clicking on the logo below:
 


I hope many of you can make the services.


The following is an e-mail received from Carol Johnson Tyree, Jan's younger sister:

Subject: This is in the memory if my sister Jan Trsar who passed on March 24, 2004 and my mother Gen Gaertner passed Jan. 26, 1993 Dear Friends and Family,

Did you know that every three minutes, another woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer? I didn't, and I was shocked to learn how prevalent this horrible disease has become in this country. So shocked, in fact that I've committed to doing something about it, and I'm writing to ask for your help.

On June 5-6, 2004, I'll spend the weekend walking, along with thousands of other people, in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. I will walk at least the distance of a marathon (26.2 miles), and I may choose to walk as far as a marathon and a half. Either way, it's a very long walk. I'll have to spend the next few months training, fundraising, and preparing for the event. It's the biggest challenge I've ever taken on, but I'm very excited about doing it because I know it will make a real difference to the millions of people affected by breast cancer.

The money raised goes to the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade, a 501(c)(3) public charity whose mission is to provide access to care and finding a cure for breast cancer. They provide funding to organizations all over the country for medical research, education and early detection programs, and clinical care and support services, all with a focus on the medically underserved.

I'm required to raise at least $1,800 to participate, but I'm setting my goal even higher, and I plan to raise as much money as I can.

Please help to support me and the breast cancer cause by making a generous contribution to my efforts. You can make your donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message, which will bring you right to my personal page. Please remember as you're making your donation that in less than the time it took to read this e-mail, another woman in the U.S. was diagnosed with breast cancer.

You can also help me by passing this message along to others who may be interested in being a part of the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.

Thank you for your support and or prayers.

Sincerely,

Carol Tyree
