We are currently involved with building a new house-an "empty nester". We have a 5th wheel RV and plan to do a LOT more traveling in the future. I enjoy playing golf and working on various projects related to the house, RV or vehicles.
     In the future, my wife and I plan to do more volunteer work. I might be interested in a part time job working with travel or RV matters.

At this point it is unlikely that we will return to Oklahoma to live, so we have been searching for a "homeplace" in North Carolina. Last year the family purchased 28 acres of undeveloped property located between Boone and Bamee Elk, NC. We plan to build vacation homes someday. But first we have to have a road and a bridge, the basics. This is a project with all the children. Right now we are camping on the property. It is beautiful and has a trout stream on the property. And we are exploring it all.

 David Franklin

Occupation: Engineering Management, Bettis Bechtel
Spouse: none Children: 3 Grandchildren: 0
     My three children are firmly embedded into the west-coast life, which I suppose means that they are part of the dot-com culture. Paul approaches 30 as a programmer for Amazon. com, and I am becoming an on-line shopper, but have not fully adjusted to not seeing the product first.
     Joel is a civil engineer for a Sacramento engineering consultant firm and may go back to graduate school this fall, which mans I cannot be very old since I still have kids starting school.
     Diana and her husband are working on PhDs in computer engineering at U. of California Davis, which means they live in a different world in that they understand what goes on in cyberspace, which means that they can talk technobabble that I do not understand, effectively shutting me out of their conversation. Perhaps it was better when they were 12 and could not do this.
     After receiving a PhD in Metallurgical Engineering, I began a career studying behavior of materials in the cores of nuclear reactors, ending up at the Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory as Manager of PWR Materials Technology. New activities in the last decade are tennis and ballroom dancing. I am currently enjoying the single life, dating Julia Roberts, Faith Hill and Demi Moore.

Bill Gray & Linda Joyce
Married name: Gray
Occupation: Dentist      Children: 4
(Taken from an article in the Stillwater News Press)
     William Gray had an inkling of what he wanted to do for a career. But, it wasn't until a visit with Dr. David Heller, his childhood dentist, at a high school career day event, did Gray confirm his decision. "I thought about dentistry," Gray said. "I liked the idea and I liked my dentist. He influenced me more than anything." Gray, a Stillwater native, has been practicing here since 1969. In April of that year, he joined Heller's practice on Washington Street after returning from Vietnam. He spent seven years there before building his own practice at 605 S. Orchard.
     Gray moved to Stillwater in 1951, where his father, Fenton Gray, was a professor at Oklahoma A&M. After college, Gray attended dental school at the University of Tennessee at Memphis. That was followed by a stint in the Army in Vietnam, where he worked as a dentist. While in Vietnam, Gray corresponded with Heller about possibly working with him once he completed his military obligation. "I always liked Stillwater and thought I would come back (one day)," Gray said. Gray returned to Stillwater along with his wife Linda (Joyce) Gray. They have four children: Scott, Kelli Gray-Moon, Jeffrey and Lyndsee.
     Gray, 57, is celebrating his 32nd year in the profession. His current staff includes Glenda Martin, front office manager; and Jaime Humphrey and Hayley Brown, dental assistants. "It's gone by pretty fast," Gray said. "I'm working on third-generation patients." Gray has cut his work schedule back to four days a week, but says he doesn't plan on closing up shop anytime soon. "I like dentistry," Gray said. "I don't plan on retiring anytime soon. I've got at least another 15 years in me." "It gives you a lot of job satisfaction. I like being my own boss."

 Spouse: Janice     Occupation: sales rep
 Married: 35 years     Children: 2
     My wife of 35 years is Janice, who works as a sales rep (infant bedding) from our home in Plano, TX (Dallas). Our older son Scott is married to Kate. Younger son Derek will marry Amy next month. They all are in the computer industry in the Dallas area.
     I've become part of the telecom industry, having joined MCI in 1989. I'm part of the engineering team that brought you such products as 1-800-Collect, and Voice-Dialing. Currently I get to play with internet telephones, to see if we can make some money in that business. I've been awarded several patents in the technical end of this business.
     We're involved with church and Sunday school activities, and a couple of couples bridge groups. Our favorite together activity is solving crossword puzzles. I've had a long-time interest in photography (I was taking and processing photos of our 6th grade class at Eugene Field school). Now I'm getting digital photos figured out. Genealogy also consumes a bit of time, as I'm looking into Janice's West family history. (My dad pretty much took care of our Leonard line and Mom's Romary line.)
