STEPHEN RIEDERER

Steve Riederer and his wife Marilyn live in Rochester, MN. They have two children: Julie is 25 and Christopher is 21.

Steve is working - "Professor, Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic"

Wondering what Steve has been up to in the last few years? "I direct the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Research Laboratory at Mayo Clinic. We are developing ways to make MRI faster, cheaper, more accessible, more accurate, and more general purpose. Several of the specific techniques I have developed over the years are now used routinely on commercial MRI scanners every day. In addition to research I do a lot of teaching, and have been the Ph.D. advisor to over 20 students. Presenting my research at professional meetings has taken me all over the world, and my family has often accompanied me. My hobbies are piano, fishing, bridge, tennis. and gardening. (The piano and bridge go back to EHS days!)"

and his favorite memory? "Barbershop quartet: Sharpe and the Three Flats"

Thanks Steve - I do hope you'll make it this summer.

TIMOTHY SHARPE

Tim and his wife Lynda live in Madison and have a daughter Jennifer who is 25. Tim is working but this will be his last year - by the time we see him he will be retired....

"I have been teaching biology and coaching tennis at Monona Grove High School for 23 years. I plan to retire in June and seek new horizons. I look forward to making more time for tennis, singing, playing guitar, and sailing whenever I can. My wife Lynda and I have raised a daughter who is 25, now training to be a high school biology teacher."

Special memories? "I'm going to go with singing in four part harmony with The Three Flats- Steve Riederer, John Staley and Kevin Farley. If only there had been American Idol in 1969!

A close second- in LaCrosse for the basketball tournament, doing physics problems in a motel room at 4 a.m. with some of my favorite nerds. I bet nobody knew just how much fun we could have when we really got going!"

Looking forward to seeing you in July.....and I never thought of you as a nerd !

JOHN STALEY


John lives in Madison and has three children: Jenni, 26 Caitlin, 23 and Ethan, 12.

He is presently employed at UW-Madison, Division of Information Technology.

What else has he been up to? "working, spending time with my children, traveling, playing racquetball, skiing, watching movies and sports, celebrating life with those I love"

These are some great memories: "climbing the front of the school, the barbershop quartet and the day I saw "I LOVE JOHN STALEY" written in chalk on the front steps of EHS, now if I could just find out who did it...."


Looking forward to July....and now that this is out in the open - maybe we can get a confession from "The Secret Lover".
