Dan Roig sent along this announcement about his daughter's graduation from her Master's program:

Hello All. Just to let you know that my daughter Genevieve's graduation from Trinity was this past weekend. She now has her Master's Degree in Christian Counseling. We had a great time. It is a wonderful school, and being an evangelical school the services were truly moving. Yee Hah! Warmest regards, Dan

I hope this finds you all doing well. I felt the need to update this list since I have moved from California to Sparks, Nevada in 2007. Since leaving my job in 2005, I remain semi-retired and enjoying life with travel, cars, motorcycles, and scuba diving. I now have 5 grandchildren (four boys and 1 princess) all of whom live in Palatine and Hoffman Estates. I visit them several times per year. Hard to believe that my son Jack is 37 and my daughter Amy is 34. I am blessed in that they both have great spouses and wonderful families. I hope to see you all in October. In the mean time, be sure to live life to the fullest and chase a few dreams. Also, a huge Thank You to Gary for keeping this website up to date.
