Judy Hinrichs A. Judy Hinrichs B. Mukilteo, WA C. I have one son, David, adopted from Korea in 1984. He is now 28 years old and is completing Paramedic School at Central in Ellensburg. D. I attended Peninsula College and Western Washington University where I graduated with a teaching degree in 1967. I then received my Master’s Degree from the University of Washington and my Doctorate from Berne University. E. I worked in the Edmonds School District for 30+ years as a teacher, principal, staff development specialist, union President and central office department manager. In 2002 I retired (for the second time) and went to work for City University of Seattle. While there I was a faculty member in their Principal Preparation Program, then became Associate Dean and was appointed Dean of the School of Education in 2008. F. I retired from City U in 2012 and am now happily and fully retired. G. Since graduation I have lived in the north end of Seattle but have enjoyed traveling to Europe, China, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Korea, and other locations for fun and getting to know the world. Just before our reunion I will be doing a 7 week trip to Turkey, Greece, Switzerland and France. H. I much enjoyed downhill and cross country skiing in the past and still love to hike, trek and backpack in our mountains and abroad with a little snowshoeing in the winter. In the 1970’s my former husband and I were Presidents of Cascade Bicycle Club (before they started running the STP) and I still enjoy some bicycling. I. My son is my #1 special friend and I am so glad that I did not miss the life experience of being a parent. I have also met some wonderful people around the world and it is always sad leaving a place when one is not sure that you will ever see them again. And I am so glad to have become reacquainted with some of our high school classmates through their monthly luncheons on the Peninsula. What an amazing group! X1 I remember our high school graduation night, when a group of us ended up at one of our classmate’s vacation home on Lake Crescent. I cannot remember for the life of me who it was, but I thought our group was alone in the house until I walked into a bedroom, looking for the bathroom, and came upon his parents sleeping in bed. In retrospect I expect that was a pretty good way for a set of parents to keep an eye on things. X2 The only thing I wish had been different is that I was not able to participate in school activities as much as I would have liked. I was one of the youngest in our class so did not get my driver’s license until late, and, as our family lived outside of town and I was the oldest of five kids, the family didn’t run me around very much. I missed decorating floats for homecoming, school sports and many of the things people did to just “hang out.”
