Bonnie Tappan Weldon Update

Hey everybody! Happy New Year!!!!

Still in Iowa City and keeping very busy. I am still married to Larry almost 24 years this Feb. E-mail anytime. I would be glad to hear from anybody from “73.

Just thought some of you might be interested in knowing how West is doing. We now have a wonderful lighted football field as of two years ago. It is very nice to finally have our own field. I get to see many of our teachers still at West as our youngest son is a senior there. We have spent a lot of time at West over the last few years. Our oldest son graduated four years ago from West too. We had a wonderful football year with a 9-0 record until the playoffs. We lost the first game of the year and unfortunately did not get to go to state. My son was player of the year and on first team all state. We were very proud of him and all the guys on the team. They did a great job. Thank god for Deb Barnes Rogers. We got through the season (and last five years of football) half way sane. There is also a new auditorium. It is really nice.

So, West has changed quite a bit. Somehow, you walk through the halls and it comes right back to you. I will keep you updated as we go. My husband and I have a business which we started up five years ago and it is going very well. We do customer service work for business owners and evaluate their employees to give them feedback on how we were treated as customers (mystery shopping). So, we work 7 days a week. It is worth it though in the end. I see Brenda Schrock, Steve Riggan and Karen Villhauer a lot. I also ran into Nancy Masbruch and Sue Davison last week. It is always nice to see people you haven’t seen for awhile.

See ya later.
