In Judie's words:

Immediately following high school, I attended the University of Oregon where I earned a bachelor's degree in science in nursing and worked in public health nursing in Oregon and Utah before becoming a full time mom. Forty-two years ago, I married my best friend, Sim Lessley. We have two daughters, Lisa (Craig Briscoe) and Skay (John Benecki) and two enjoyable grandchildren, Albert and Eleanor. Because of my gratitude for God's sacrificial love that caused Him to send His Son Jesus to die for us so we can be brought back into relationship with Him, I have spent the majority of my time doing my favorite thing--writing and teaching Bible lessons.

Thanks Craig for donating your time as webmaster for our 1960 graduating class. There are a few of us like Jane (Williams) Baldwin who attended Anchorage schools together from 1st through 12th grade who will recognize many in those three grade school class pictures I sent. There were also many military kids like you who enhanced our classes several years at a stretch before moving on. Together we all make up the AHS Class of 1960, with neither the long-timers or short-timers more special.

My husband Sim and I will try to make it to the reunion. I think I do have more pictures that may be of general interest but will need to do some looking to find them.
