I graduated from ISU in 1974 with a degree in Special Education/Elementary Education and taught for 30 years in IL schools, before retiring in 2010 and moving to Bluegrass Country in KY to be closer to our daughter. I have been married to Steve Marks (BHS Class of ‘69) for 46 years and we have lived in 11 different houses (!), but have been in our present house in KY for the past 10 years. I’m enjoying my retirement—love to read, travel, volunteer in the community, and spend time with friends and family, especially my grandchildren!!

Jane—Thank you for sharing your amazing story of courage in the face of great adversity and your tremendous triumph with the support of family and your strong faith. You are truly an inspiration to all of us and a great credit to our class. I will not be attending the Reunion, either, but am so glad you shared your story this way so that we could all appreciate the many things you have accomplished and the countless people whose lives you’ve touched.
I am so sorry that I won’t be able to attend the Reunion, but wanted to share some pictures. Steve ( BHS ‘69) and I have just recently moved to NC from KY, where we had lived the past 11years. We have been married 47 years and have 2 wonderful children and 4 grandchildren. Our daughter, Katie, lives in Louisville and has one daughter, Gracie, 16. Our son, Tim, lives in NC ( we moved to be closer to him and his family—wife Rebecca and 3 children— Camden, 9; Kara, 7; Tyler, 3.)
I would love to see all of you and hear your stories, but will be thinking of you on that weekend, and I’ll be with you in spirit!!
