Terry Coffin on July 28, 2014 2:29 PM

After graduation I attended the Universityof Idaho graduating in 1969 with a BA in history. I went on to law school at the University graduating with a Juris Doctorate degree in 1972. I practiced law in Boise from 1972 until I retired in 2006. I spent 23 years in the private practice of law and worked for 2 Attorneys General before entering the private sector and for another 2 Attorneys General prior to reitirement.
I have been married to my wonderful wife Nancy for nearly 20 years. We have no children. We have lived in McCall for the last 5 years. We spend our time skiing, boating , hiking, taking care of our dog Sammy, hunting mushrooms and picking berries. We are having the times of our lives !

Terry,

I'm looking forward to seeing you again, at our 50th this weekend.

Memories: I will never forget the 1964 State Track Meet at Lyle Smith Field at BJC where you jumped higher than you had even done to win state. What an exciting moment.

Thanks,

Steve Oliver

Jim Cozine on August 1, 2014 1:59 PM

If memory serves he jumped 6'4 3/4" - how I remember that when I can't remember what I had for breakfast this morning I just don't know.

Diana King on August 10, 2014 3:47 PM

Well, let me 'splain it for you, General, Sir... (Long term memory really has no cut-off point. It works for most of us for the 'rest of our days'). What begins to SCREW things UP is when you lose your short-term memory. (Looking for **** for so long you forgot what you were looking for and WORSE, if you find it, you can't remember why you NEEDED it

                                   (Yeah, I could write a book!)

                     TODAY, for instance,  I'm looking for my billfold.   ;)

Hi All,
It is fun to see everyone's updates.
I REALLY wish I could attend this year's reunion, but it is not working out. So I will provide a brief update.
After graduation, I attended Yale 1964-1966 then served LDS mission to Brazil 1966-1969. When I returned, the Yale campus was in turmoil over the Vietnam War, so I transferred to BYU and (after having to interrupt school for family reasons) got a BS in physics in 1973. I worked for Billings Energy Corporation 1974--1979 on hydrogen energy and was promoted to Vice President of Research.
Married Cathy Christensen in 1974 and we have eight children...two girls / six boys. She already had earned her RN degree and is still active as a caser manager at Albany Medical Center.
In 1978, I went back to BYU graduate and received a PhD in chemistry in 1984.
However, in 1981 I took a position at IBM in Endicott, NY, so finished my dissertation via long distance.
In 2000, I transferred with IBM from Endicott to Poughkeepsie, NY where we now live. Five of our children were born in New York.
I retired from IBM in Sep 2013 as a senior engineer after spending 32 years in computer hardware development and manufacturing. engineering. It was a "good ride."
When we first moved to New York, I saw Doug Freeman a couple of times at his home in the DC suburbs, but we have lost touch over the years. At the time he was working for HUD and was married with two daughters.
I heard from Lizz Chandler Tucker a few weeks ago...understand she lives in Boise.
That's about all the contact I have had with you class members. We used to travel to Boise every 3 years or so when Mom was alive, but it seemed that the time was overfilled with family obligations.
I have always said that the luckiest people in the world are those whose ZIP Codes are 837XX. We do plan to vote in the 2016 Presidential elections in Idaho!
Wish we were there this year to share memories in person.
Best regards,
Barrie
PS> Thanks to Steve and his committee for planning,organizing and executing this reunion!!! The outcome has been TOP NOTCH, as I am sure the event itself will be also!!

Steve Oliver on January 9, 2015 9:14 PM

Happy New Year to all. I hope 2015 is your best ever. Some say we are getting older...I contend, that we are getting better! I may be walking around in a 68 year old body but my spirit is still 18.

If you get a chance, please send your blog or profile so we can keep up with you. Also, send me any emails from your Borah contact list so I can update my files.

Thoughts and words from Garrison Keiller:

Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.

Garrison Keillor

I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it.

Garrison Keillor

It's a shallow life that doesn't give a person a few scars.

Garrison Keillor

Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known.

Welcome to Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.

Happy Day!!

Steve Oliver on February 2, 2015 4:05 PM

Good day Borah class of 1964,

I hope you all are doing well. I'm sure you are tired of hearing from me regarding this web site and your profile and blog entries, but I am like a burr in the saddle...unrelenting.

So unless you complete your profile information I'll keep on digging. I/we just want to hear what you have been doing the past 50 years. And, if you are so moved, to send along a picture or two.

As I have emailed recently, we are planning to have mini reunions every year from now on. The first weekend in August as been set, so please put it on your calendar today. The initial plan will be to have a no-host informal social gathering on Friday night and then a family picnic on Saturday. We'll let you know the details as we get closer to July 31/August 1, 2015.

As you can see, we still have too many classmates listed as missing in action. If you are in contact with any, please let me know. And, please review the memorial page to see those classmates who have passed on and let me know if others need to be added.

Take care, be well and have fun.

Steve Oliver on July 28, 2015 12:56 PM

Good day Borah '64!

I hope all is well in your life. Just sending along a note to make sure you got the word of our mini-reunion this weekend July 31 - August 1. It would be great to see you at The Drink, 3000 Lakeharbor Lane on Friday 6 pm - 10 pm or Saturday At Eddies Restaurant, 8 am for breakfast or noon - 4pm at Borah Park for a bring-your-own picnic.

Take a minute to enter your profile on this web site. We all would like to hear what you have been doing the past 51 years.

Dear Borah Class of 1964,

I guess I'll be the first to start the classmate blog. First, I'd like to thank Roxann Howell Dehlin, Ron's wife, for setting up this web site for our class. We hope to use this to establish a link for all of us to communicate and stay in touch.

As noted on the Welcome page, we are planning for our 50th reunion August 1-3, 2014. We are attempting to update our contact list with names, emails and addresses for the class of 1964. Please help by sending this web site to all classmates on your mail list.

Again, I hope you can join us the first Saturday of every month at Eddies restaurant on Overland Road in Boise - 8am. We've had a great time, meeting the past 8 years.

Also, we need you help with ideas on what we can do to make our 50th reunion special. If you can help on the committee please let us know.

Enough for now. I hope to see you on Saturdays at Eddies or at least at our 50th August 1-3, 2014.

May you have a joyous Christmas and holiday season.

LINDI Lanni Funston on April 3, 2013 11:19 PM

I only made one reunion and it was the 35th. I am looking forward to the 50th, Wow how did we get this "young"??

Linda Mitchell Stiller on April 5, 2013 1:52 PM

Thank you for setting up this website. This way, even though I can't get to the Class Reunions, I can still keep in touch with the class and what is going on. Sure would like to be able to meet you all for coffee and breakfast but it is a long way from GA to Boise.

Thanks for the invite and I am sorry that I can't make it to the Reunion.

Teresa Kaady (Quinn) on April 28, 2013 5:44 PM

I have only attended the very first reunion for our Class of '64' and Iwould like to attend this next one, our '50th' next year. Am looking forward to this time now that I have the time,,,,finally!

Julie Claycomb Dunn on August 6, 2013 4:44 PM

Hello classmates. I had the pleasure of taking care of my mother, Helen, during the last decade of her life. I lived in Boise off and on since 2007. Since my mom's death in June of 2012 I am back in Bend, Oregon. I still have relatives living in the Treasure Valley and usually visit 2-3 times a year.

I started to attend the Borah High Breakfast Club through the invitation of Judy Putnum Brown. We met at her former job with the State when I was trying to get my mother ready to give up her driver's license. She was in her middle 90's at the time. So, thanks Judy. I have enjoyed meeting former classmates.

I look forward to our 50th class reunion. Hope to see you all there. Julie

Hi Classmates of 1964!

Although I now live and work in Australia, I hope to be able to attend our 50th Reunion.

In the meantime, I would like to share the address to our new website for the new book that I'm working on.

It's an amazing true story!

Cheers!

Judy Hudson on December 15, 2013 8:22 PM

I didn't get to graduate with the class I grew up with...from McKinley to South JR to Borah in 1961-2. I moved to Murray, UT for those last two years, BUT I'm back 'home' & planning to attend the reunion at Borah. Looking forward to catching up, & hoping Fran LeBaron & Vicki West will also. Thanks to yous who are doing all the work!

Hi. Sorry to be missing the 50th. Still have very fond memories of Boise and Borah. Anyone remember racing down Capitol Blvd. from the Depot on their bike? How about Mrs. Reid's creative writing class, M. LaChote in French, or the five mile run in Phys Ed? Hardly seems like so many years have raced by. My best to you all. Richard.

Vicki Vanderhoef Cole on March 15, 2014 12:52 PM

Really looking forward to our 50th reunion. I think the Lake Harbor venue site is perfect. Always fun to be by the water. Thanks to Lyra Spratt Manning for all the work setting that up.

I was a registered nurse for 40 yrs, retiring in 2007. The last 27 yrs of my career were spent in oncology nursing (caring for cancer patients) & I retired from Mountain States Tumor Institute (St. Luke's). Loved my career choice & would do it all over again (well maybe!)

Just celebrated my 30th wedding anniversary to Mick Cole by spending 2 wks. in Hawaii. Would like to do that every February.

Have 2 sons, Jeff, age 45, who owns his own construction company, Diamond Contractors of Eagle, ID & David, age 40, who works in the airline industry in Greensboro, NC. I have 2 lovely granddaughters, Taylor, age 13, & Amber, age 8 plus 6 step grandchildren.

17 yrs ago Mick & I built a beautiful home on a small, private lake in McCall, ID & enjoy many wonderful times up there.

I go to the Borah breakfasts whenever I can & also the Willi B's afternoon get togethers. So much fun to chat with everyone; we have such a good time. Looking forward to the reunion in just 4 1/2 months.
Can hardly wait to see all my old friends.

Lee Hobb on June 8, 2014 8:47 PM

I just had the pleasure of exchanging e-mails with Lyra. I am hoping to be there for the reunion as I have only seen five (5) of you in the past 50 years. My wife and I may be moving back to Boise in the near future as well.

God Bless and Keep the Faith

Steve Oliver on June 15, 2014 3:14 PM

Dear Borah '64 classmates,

We are now 46 days and counting until we gather again as a class for our 50th reunion in Boise. If you are planning to attend I would appreciate if you could go to our web site today: www.borahhighclassof1964.com, RSVP and register. The sooner the better as that will allow us time to confirm facilities, meals, etc. As an added incentive we are adding a special offer to those registering by June 30. Everyone who has completed the registration by then will be added to a raffle drawing on Saturday August 2. Classmate Larry Howerton of Buck's Bags in Boise has offered one of his classic "Mustang" fishing float tubes to the winner. We will also select 5 winners of our 50th Reunion T-Shirts (graphic design was created by classmate Bill Simpson, now deceased). I've included a picture of both items for your review.

While on our site, would you please take a moment to enter a blog,and add your profile so we can all find out what you have been doing the past 50 years. For those not attending, we want to hear from you as well. Rather than printing a post reunion booklet we want to use our web site for communication. You can include pictures as well.

You will also see a memorial link to classmates who have passed away. Please review and let us know if you are aware of any names we have missed. If, by chance you have a copy of any obits, we would like to post those as well.

Bear Smith and Judy Putnam Brown are putting together an awesome memorabilia display. They are still looking for items to show. If you have old pictures (grade school and Jr. High), or old Boise landmarks please scan and send to Bear at jill@usmirrorandglass.com

If you know of any former teachers around, we will be inviting them to our Friday night social at The Drink at Lake Harbor. Please get me contact information so I can send an invitation.

Also, would you please forward this email to any Borah classmates on your contact list and personally invite them to attend this classic reunion. Take a look at the missing list as well and let me know if you have current information on any. I will attach an updated "missing" list.

Thanks for listening. I do hope you plan to attend our reunion. It is not every year you can celebrate 50. This is going to be a great time.

Great day!

Go Lions.

Joy Choborda - McMinn on June 15, 2014 10:49 PM

I don't know about the rest of you, but for me bigger letters are easier to read.

I live in Phoenix Arizona now and am still working. I work for First Financial Equity Corporation, a Stockborker's Office as the Receptionist. This a perfect job for me because I get to talk to people all day - my favorite thing to do.
I went to ISU after graduating. Then I worked for the City of Boise in the Building Department for 15 years. When my father passed away I ran his companies, A-1 Answering Service and Yellow Cab Company for 15 years. The last 15 years I have been working at First Financial. I guess I like making it at least 15 years per job.
I was married twice, but no kids. I grew up with my sisters boys all around me. Now I have 6 great nieces and newphews and one more on the way.
Vicki and I were always together in high school, so I think it's fitting that I bring her with me to the reunion.

Karen (Kerby) Dillard on July 16, 2014 4:35 PM

Haven't been to a reunion for a few years. I have not recieved any info from anyone in so many years I guess I gave up. Hope to see those I've missed.

Diana King on July 19, 2014 9:37 AM

Well, Miss Kerby! You are one I DO remember! (We must have lived in the same neighborhood (Franklin & Orchard)~~~Look forward to seeing you! P.S. This e-mail address MAY be right or MAY NOT!~

Diana King on August 10, 2014 3:36 PM

(I THINK my e-mail's right.) Well, Miss Kerby, I saw you and of course, WE have not changed, right? LOL It was great fun... Even too short...

Phil Hansen on July 17, 2014 4:43 PM

Enjoying your website. I am managing one for Borah 1965.
www.borah1965.com
I am letting my cousin Mike Giltzow know about this. As I run across '64 people they will definitly get this link.
Enjoy your reunion!
Lead any '65 people to the above link.

Julie Claycomb Dunn on July 22, 2014 5:56 PM

Hello everyone - My biggest news is that I am moving back to Boise. I have 3 first cousins and one aunt (who is 98) and I will enjoy spending time together. I retired from nursing in 2007 so I could take care of my mom until her death in 2012. After her death, my sister became very ill and I flew to Savannah, Ga. to take care of her for four months. Living in the South was a learning experience for me in many ways.
See you soon. Julie

Education: Oh, believe me, it was ALL “education”!

After graduation,I promptly left Boise (shaking the dust off my feet-sorry! …) and headed to BYU. I majored in Clothing and Textiles and design (planned on being an Audrey-Hepburn –type Fashion Designer) and minored in Math (I LOVE math… creative-type, Geometry, Algebra, etc). Too bad! I really NEEDED Accounting…

Got married in 1965 (Odd! All the guys there were VERY marriage-minded –unlike Borah, where I never experienced dating!) and moved to the Ogden area, went to Weber College, and changed my major to ECE (Early Childhood Development) .The college didn’t have Textiles, and I was expecting our first, so felt that Child Psychology would be “helpful” in my new, chosen career ;)

Quit school, 1 ½ Semesters short of a degree (kids! Don’t try this at home!). Because, well, all of those classes were teaching the importance of the mom/child relationship, particularly in the first four years, and I was LEAVING my baby to attend college! An oxymoronic situation if ever there was one, so I started on my forty-seven year “field test” in Child Psychology and never looked back (until last year, when I enrolled in “Pathway”- a degree completion program from BYUI) I just survived that, with an “4.0” average, and will eventually graduate, although the requirements have CHANGED, somewhat :/

I cite the “4.0” average, because I was an underachiever in my previous school-life! Some counselors and teachers are spinning in their graves and muttering “I TOLD you so!”

Family Information :

With such a head start, of course I was blessed to have a large family (actually, it wasn’t at all easy, but I persevered). I was trying to have twelve children, like my beloved “Aunt Lillie” of Boise, but had to stop at ten. I DID attach 5 foster children (my oldest liked to bring them home ;), and numerous hangers-on (my motto: “if you stay longer than three days, you have a chore on the chart, and you are MINE”)- I am, like all mothers everywhere, crazy about them and they are completely perfect, in my eyes!

From our eight married children (we have two “bachelorettes”, living in a restored Victorian house in SLC-one is a Graphics Designer, and one is an authoress see “Stephanie Fowers”) we have 41 grandchildren, and are expecting four more this year.

Awards-
Besides the poetry contest, I can only remember the day that I felt like joining something and wandered into Mrs Bushnell's Home Ec Club. They were taking a test, so I took it, and never returned. Weeks later-voila! I became "The Betty Crocker Homaker of Tomorrow "! Apt, I guess! ;)

"Summarize "40" (NOW 50!) years (Career, travel etc.)

See above. Also, I had an in-home, 12-child daycare/preschool until ten years ago, for twenty years when the financial demands of my ten LDS missionaries actually demanded REAL money. I have worked for the last ten years (after finally becoming an empty-nester) in my husband’s Income Tax Business. No retirement plans, alas.

Any Additional Comments:

I just realized when I saw Steve’s email that THIS was the weekend of “your” reunion! I’ll send this along, in case you are just making an ebook, otherwise, I’m too late! Have an enjoyable weekend. I’m saving my air-ticket money for a granddaughter wedding in Missouri, and a trip to relatives on the East Coast. Enjoy the reunion- I went to the 10-year one, and found that the most interesting person there had been the quietest guy in High School, and the rest had their own their own friendships going—in other words, nothing had changed. I would love to meet any of you (I'm considered "friendly" and chat with lots of strangers in a checkout line), but I don’t remember much about those years except for being VERY proud of Borah, I LOVED Ed Troxel (who became my sons’ football coach years later, and kindly claimed to remember me!), I steadily inched upwards in the poetry contests-thanks to dear Frances P. Reid-who entered me every yearJ, and I was stupidly lonely pretty much all of the time (not your fault, I had a lot of family upheaval). The only names I remember were: Cathy Tilzey, Karen Cahoon, Gloria Foster, Marianne Reed, Elena Martin (Hahn), Don Hahn, Carole South,Barrie Campbell, Bart Chaffee, (crush on) Steve Cannon, Larry Turpin, and assorted "untouchables" ;)- In my defense, I have ALWAYS been terrible with names!. I DID teach my kids to be LOTS smarter than me about High School, if that's any consolation! Looking back, it felt like the tale of the "Star-bellied Sneetches". Party on!

What is your definition of retirement?

Unrealistic, potentially wasteful, expensive, out-of-reach, impossible (we will “die in the traces”). Raising ten –plus children+ being self-employed=NOT financially profitable!

Candy on August 4, 2014 4:14 PM

Oh, dear! I just read the rest of the comments, and see that mine is very LONG!!! If I could figure out how to delete it, I would! I guess I was just filling out the questionnaire that Steve sent - my bad!;)

Steve Oliver on November 21, 2014 10:30 AM

Dear Borah '64,

Just sending along a note to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving this next week. I hope all is well with you and that you are "living the dream".

For those of you who were not able to attend our 50th reunion last August 1-3 we have loaded a lot of pictures on our web site capturing some of the activities and classmates. Take a look for yourself.

Also, we were able to raise over $3000 from a dessert auction and raffle that "Bear" Smith coordinated. The plan is to present the money to the Borah Principal designating it to the project/program of our choice. We are checking on the needs they have to make sure the money goes to a good cause and helps the students. (not just a stone or wall plaque)

We still have classmates missing in action. Take a look at the list on the menu and let us know if you have any contact information. We would really like to find them.

As mentioned before, our plan is to gather each year from now on for a social gathering and possible family picnic. Your reunion planning committee will be meeting to review our past event and determine the best time for our annual reunion. If you have a suggestion for timing please let me know.

Enough for now. I hope to see you at our monthly get togethers (the 3rd Thursday of each month - 3 pm at Willi B's Saloon on Chinden and the 1st Saturday at Eddies Restaurant on Oveland Rd at 8am. Please join us.

Take care...be well...have fun. Much joy and happines to you.
