Profile

What was your graduating class year? If you were a dormie, which one?: 1979

What years were you at Lakenheath?: 1975-1977

Where are you now, and where have you been?: I live in Missouri now. I have been in a lot of places, since I was also in the AF and married someone in the AF. We were even stationed at Lakenheath from 83-86. I lived in Idaho, before I moved down here.

What's new with you? Work, play, relationships, family?: Wow, let's see, I am married to Jim (yeah, James Taylor-not the singer), but he is musically talented -playing the guitar and fiddle. He's a saint! We have 5 sons and 1 daughter, and 2 grandchildren. I'm an RN, and work at a Cardiac Rehab clinic, for all of you who keep eating Big Macs, and supersizing. We live out in the country. We still have 3 boys at home so they keep us very busy. My older 3 have moved out and are doing their own things. My 20 year old son Kenneth, has been in Baghdad for a year now with the Army. We are anxious for him to come home in January.

What did you do between Lakenheath and now?: I graduated from HS in Florida(Eglin), joined the AF 2 years later. Got married, had 3 kids, got divorced. Started nursing school, got married again, graduated, started working at a hospital in Idaho, got divorced(again) in '97. Then I moved down to Missouri, got married for the last time! There's been a lot of other stuff in the middle of all that, but I don't want to write a scary novel. LOL.( I've had more blessings than I can count!!!)

Name some old Lakenheath classmates you have contact with and will tell about this site.: Lisa Laird
Keran Spicka
Gene Boyd

Just wanted to say that my son is back in the good ole USA from Iraq! He is safe and doing well. Thanks to everyone who sent out prayers and thoughts for him! You all are the best!!!

Somebody out there must know a little of me. Bridgid does, thanks Bridgid. Hey, Gerard lives here in San Antonio. I told him about this web site so maybe he'll check it out. Hope you hear from him.
Michelle :)

Did the snake video inspire your natural reflexes to take a defensive position? The first time I saw it I threw my hands in front of my face! My daughter and I laughed about this video for hours. Even had a few friends tell me they had to change their drawers as it gave them quite a fright. The only good snake is a dead snake as far as I am concerned though! Val

At 6:44pm on August 22nd, 2008, GENE A. BOYD JR. 77 said…: Can I have your autograph, Well nothing but good comments about the reunion and the fun that you all had going back in time.I can not wait for everyone to get back together. Rudy looks pretty much the same as does everyone that was there. Becky Tolly, Lisa, all I can say is that it's just great. I am still going to try to get some pic's of myself and any fellow Lancers that I can get in touch in the next week or so. The pace of things here have really died down,we are just waiting for something to break out. It's been too quite out here I talked to a few Lancer's over the last couple of day's but Aubrey was not one of them. I thought that we might have hooked up at the football game (Raider' Niner's), but could not get a hold of him. I'll keep on trying. I talked to Siobhan ,JR.Clemons,Valleri Harris, Diane Angus in the last 24 hour's.. WOW over a hundred years of time had passed since we have been in contact like that. So how is your family,after all the excitment that was going on. Has the traval bug been awakened. Take your time with the pic's but HURRY UP AND POST THEM !!!!! (smile). TAKE CARE LOVE GENE!

At 12:47pm on August 11th, 2008, GENE A. BOYD JR. 77 said…: Hello there Melinda! WOW I got to see all of my fellow Lancer's that were at the reunion .can I say that I am feeling a little envy of all of you that went . Where are your pic's? I am hoping to run into Aubrey in the next coming week or so that we can get some pic's up . Hurry,Hurry. You must not keep us waiting !!!!

At 8:18pm on August 8th, 2008, Kelly Russell -77 said…: Melinda, Thanks for the compliment on the photos! I really have to thank Verna Spicka...she took a lot of photos and let me copy the disk before I left STL. I just cropped them to make them look better. It was great to see you, and hope to see you at the next one! Take care!

At 7:20am on August 8th, 2008, Dean Baines said…: Hi Melinda, it was so good to see you and Alicia. I really enjoyed talking and spending time with you. I just wish we all had more time as it seemed that time just flew by. I still can't believe that you have 5 son's. You have truly been blessed. Take care and stay sweet. Dean

At 9:23pm on August 5th, 2008, Donna (Lopez) Powers -77 said…: Hi Melinda,
It was so great to see you again after all these years. I can't believe you look almost exactly the same as you did 31 years ago. Alicia is beautiful and obviously inherited all your best traits. It's amazing how so much time can pass and yet we can just pick up from where we left off. We will definitely have to pace ourselves better at the next reunion...can't wait! Take care and stay in touch...Donna

At 1:25pm on August 5th, 2008, Dave Jester 77 said…: Hi Melinda,
I really enjoyed seeing you again and meeting Alicia. You are both very hot and cool ladies. It’s no surprise that you’re also good friends. The reunion went far too quickly. I didn’t take enough time to talk to you but I did talk about you quite a bit with Alicia on the patio. I’ll send you an email when I get caught up a little bit around here.
All the best, Dave “Footloose?”

At 11:42pm on August 4th, 2008, William Powell 78 said…: Hey Melinda, moviestar? whatever, It was also great to see you, Its funny how when you see somebody years after you knew them, you remember things about them from the past, your still short and a cutie!!,also you Alicia takes after you shes simply beautyful. luv ya Willie

At 4:56pm on August 4th, 2008, Junior Clemons said…: I had a great time at the reunion and it was really wonderful to see you again. Let's stay in contact and maybe I will get luck and gety a trip out your way sometime.

Take care,

J.C.
