Occupation: Teacher - Stillwater Middle School
Spouse: Ben Eakin Occupation: Analyst, Oklahoma State University
Married: 21 years Children: 2
Our daughter LeAnne is 19 year old and will be a sophomore at OSU this
fall. Brian is 16 years old and will be a junior at SHS. Having children
later in life than the rest of you has helped me "stay young!"
LeAnne and Brian are a joy to us and we are certainly proud of their academic
accomplishments.
I have been in charge of the In-School Suspension Program at Stillwater
Middle School for the past five years. Needless to say, I have had a variety
of experiences with students. I could write quite a book about it all!
My husband and I enjoy the challenge of maintaining and re-modeling my
childhood home. When we were in high school everyone thought I lived "way
out in the country". Now the city limits of Stillwater borders our
property. However, we still enjoy the quietness of "country living."
Ben and I enjoy singing in our church choir, gardening, following OSU
sports, and keeping up with our teenagers.

Chapman & Sherri Nelson
Married name: Chapman
Occupation: Owner/President, Aus-Tex Service Station Equipment, Inc.
Married: 39 years Children: 3 Grandchildren:
3+ one on the way
We have two daughters, Kathy (35) and Kristi (31), and one son, Steve
(26). Kathy works as Accounting/Bookkeeper for Aus-Tex. Son-in-law, Terry,
is an Aus-Tex salesman. The plan is for them to take over Aus-Tex when
John retires. They have given us a granddaughter, Katy who is eleven.
Our daughter, Kristi, and her husband live in Colona, Illinois. Kristi
is an elementary school teacher, but has taken time off to care for grandsons
Clint (6) and Jacob (1). They are "expecting" #3 in December.
Her husband works for the John Deere Co.
Our son Steve is currently working as Parts Manager for Aus-Tex, but is
looking forward to a "new venture" as a partner in a new fish
and pet store here in Austin.
Sherri - In 1991, I was in a rollover car accident in Stillwater (I was
visiting for my mother's birthday). Luckily, I was not seriously injured,
but in Feb. of '92, I was diagnosed with CFS/Fibromyalsia. The cause,
they feel was the car accident, which lowered my immune system. This is
the reason why we have had to miss several reunions. I am REALLY hoping
I can attend this year. I really enjoy interior decorating our home, and
making wreaths and flower arrangements for family and friends. And, of
course, I love spending time with our grandchildren.
John - I started Aus-Tex Service Station Equipment, Inc. 19 years ago,
here in Austin, and can proudly say "we have come a long way!"
Aus-Tex is a Petroleum Equipment Distributorship. We service and sell
all gasoline equipment, from pumps and underground tanks to computerized
cash registers, etc. We also have a construction department. We build
convenience stores and gasoline stations for Exxon, Shell, Chevron, Texaco,
etc. It is an interesting business and "ever-changing".
My hobbies include golf and truck racing. My son-in-law, Terry, races
a truck partially sponsored by Aus-Tex. I just became a member of the
"Texas Cushman Club". I'm looking forward to attending meetings
and maybe even buying a scooter to rebuild! I had my first Cushman, when
I was fourteen and have lots of great memories! As far as interest go-our
grandchildren are "Number One"!

Mary Kay Cooper
Married Name: Warren
Occupation: Office Manager, Zachry Construction
Spouse: Lynn, Safety Manager, Zachry Construction
Married: 39 years Children: 2 Grandchildren: 2
Married 39 years to the same guy. We have two children and two grandchildren.
Our son Wade is manager of the feed mill for OSU. After 10 years of marriage
they finally produced us a granddaughter. Allison is a two-year-old red
head. Our daughter Kathy is a computer guru for GE. She managers and writes
their computer programs for that division. She has a ten-year-old son,
William.
Lynn worked for a company where he was home on weekends and gone all week.
If he stayed more than a week, I would fly to wherever and spend a few
days. Then he took a job for another company and he was gone for nine
months. Started out driving the six hours every other weekend. Then it
got to be once a month. Woke up one day and decided this wasn't the way
we wanted to live. They needed an office manager. So, I quit my job, packed
my sewing machine and clothes in the back seat of the car and joined him.
Worked out great until moving day. That was a nightmare. The company provided
us an apartment. (You still have to have your things!) Getting all those
things to fit in a pickup and car was impossible. We went out and found
the biggest and best trailer, sold our new home and hit the road. We're
gypsies and love it. Our jobs last 18 months. Lynn is a safety professional
and I am diversified enough that I can work for the same company.
We practice retirement most weekends. We do all the tourist things and
have met some really great people. We are in Casa Grande, AZ at this writing,
but should be transferred in the next two weeks to Ohio. (We think!) We
won't know for sure until our wheels hit the highway. This is an old company
and has more work than they can staff.
I sew for grandkids and still paint some. We love to get out and explore
the area. We thought the desert was great until we experienced one of
their monsoons. We rocked and rolled for two hours one night. The trailer
had to have some repair. This is not a place I would retire to. We prefer
the east. There is more history and things to do.
When we retire, we plan to be snowbirds and pick the places we want to
spend time. We have the mobile mansion to do it. When we get bored or
too old, we can park in one of the kids' front yard. Our son wad has built
us a pad already.

I stay extremely busy with our printing company, Golden Printing and Promotional.
I handle all office work plus sales activities. my husband handles the
production. We have no plans to retire, as self-employed people just have
to keep right on working!!! However we both enjoy what we do. I am a former
teacher, too, and keep my foot in the door a bit by substitute teaching
occasionally. I substitute about tow days a month at a local school district
and at an adult opportunity school in downtown Denver.
I enjoy going to plays and musical activities with lady friends. I am
in several groups, including church activities and lots of Chamber of
Commerce and networking activities. I do social things with friends made
from these groups. I am learning to play Mah Jong (an old Chinese board
game) with a small group of friends.
I also love to walk and try to go for outdoor walks several times a week--especially
when time and weather permit. There are some beautiful parks and trails
here in Colorado!

Spouse: Cyrus Occupation: Stillwater Transfer & Storage
Married: 37 years
Besides taking care of our home, we are both into yard work. Several years
ago we designed and built a water garden. We have been changing and planting
ever since. It's so wonderful to sit and listen to the water falls and
relax. It takes me to the mountains! I still do a lot of stained glass
and love the challenges people give me. I get lost in my work!
Each year we travel in the fall. We love to visit places of cultural interest,
old stores, etc. Of course, our trips wouldn't be complete without wetting
our fishing lines in the rivers and streams of Wyoming and Colorado. We
do all of this between the OSU football games, which we have supported
for many years. I still take care of our rentals, so my plate is full.

two grandchildren nearby, ages 4 and 6, and spend much of my time with
them.
I'm a Charter member of the Boise Book Club - this group, mainly guys,
