Dreitzler, Lyn (Anderson)

Wow....40 years.....I am Lyn Dreitzler Anderson, I lived on the horse farm between Snohomish and Monroe, with my mother and brother. I went to Green River Community College after graduation where I completed The Occupational Therapy Assistant Program. I met my husband Randy there, who completed his degree in Criminal Justice. We married November 8, 1974. We had 4 daughters, Beth 1976, Becky 1977, Megann 1979, Lindsey 1983. I was a stay at home mom, while my husband pursued his career as a police officer, first in Fife,then Puyallup till he went out on disability in 1991. I am on the boards of various family business;was coordinator for 10 years, of the Advanced and Junior Yr Programs, in our region, for the United States Dressage Federation; and am currently a board member of the Puyallup Fair Foundation.


Our 4 daughters are grown and married. We have 5 grand children, 3 girls and 2 boys. Life is good! Randy and I are enjoying our grand children, and each other. We still live in Puyallup on the farm we raised our family.

I would love to hear from classmates, my e mail address in lynanderso@aol.com

Presley as Hannah Montana

I've raised five wonderful children, and am blessed to have two beautiful grandchildren, Presley Grace, who will be 6 in November (yes she's named after Elvis, both of her parents being fans and Kelda was proposed to at Graceland, hence the name) They are expecting another daughter in January, and her name (being tied into Presley's name) will be Memphis Marie. As Kelda told me, and I'll pass on to you, think about it--it'll grow on you!! Kelda is on a leave of absence from her job as property manager for a real estate company in Fayetteville. She's got her real estate license, but has been acting as property manager for their rentals for the last year or so since the market has been so awful. My second son Josh, who directs the evening news for the ABC affiliate in Omaha, has a 2 1/2 year old son Peyton with his wife Tessa, who does media for Creighton University, is expecting a second son in March. Name picked out is Daniel Sage............Josh's middle name, after my father. I've got my own baby boom going on!! My oldest daughter Treena is married to Joey and each manage a take and bake pizza restaurant in Wichita KS. Treena and Joey don't have any biological children, but she's step mom to his boys. Also,and finally My oldest son Matt, who is mentally challenged, works at a boat place in Everett, and has the biggest heart of anyone I know. My youngest son Leif, whom I referred to as "my Jerry Ingalls" was an awesome athlete in school, QB of the FB team from sophomore on, starting varsity BB player sophomore on, broke a 29 year old high school record for triple jump and went to State in Track from freshman year through senior...........great kid without an ego ............ one of the BB game he was in, we were ahead by 30+ points, and they put him in in the last minute. He'd already scored 29 points. School record was 30. He got the ball down court and passed it to one of the 3rd string guys under the basket and the kid scored. I watched the coach walk him to the locker room, and when I got to that area, the coach took me aside and said "That is one great kid you've got. I asked him if he knew why I put him back in at the last minute, and he said yeah so I could break the school record. I asked him WHY he passed the ball to Matt, and he said because Matt never got to play and his parents were there and he knew Matt could score the bucket." Coach told me that was one of the most unselfish things he'd ever seen an athlete do...............and I bawled the whole way home!!! Leif works for Wells Fargo 2nd mortgages.......hopefully y'all are up to snuff on your 2nd mortgages or you might be talking to him!! lol


Went through some tremendous ups and downs. My ex husband and I had a huge company with two Learjets, blah blah blah.......come to find out he had a girlfriend half my age and a baby with her that was 5 months old before I knew about her........like you'd read about in National Enquirer. His shenanigans left me with some horrific legal problems, but being a "survivor" I've worked through it all and would like to consider myself healed and serene!!

I now manage a restaurant in a small town 20 miles SW of Fayetteville, NC. The county I live in leads the nation in STD's and unwed pregnancies, and every redneck joke and picture that gets forwarded through emails, I SWEAR comes from Robeson County, where I live!!

Am so looking forward to seeing everyone and catching up!! God Bless each and every one of y'all!! ( I can say that, coming from the South!!)

Hill, Peggy (Engeseth)

I married at 19 and had two sons Jason and Jeremy who also graduated from Snohomish High. Divorced at 31 and then I discovered myself. I worked for a local company for 27 years -- they closed and the property now houses the Snohomish Public Library. When my boys finished school and left home I suffered extreme empty nest syndrome so enrolled myself into EVCC and earned a degree in Accounting. After 16 years of being single I married another Snohomish High School graduate (1966), and have settled into a contented life. I’ve lived within 15 miles of Snohomish and cannot imagine being anywhere else. For the last two years I’ve been doing mostly contract work. It’s been hard to find the ‘family’ atmosphere that I had when I worked for Central Feed.


I have two grandsons, Trent and Riley. My husband has a daughter with four children but they live in Neah Bay and we only see them a few times a year. I keep myself busy, I’ve done all the crafts, ceramics, tole painting, scrapbooking, quilting, enjoy gardening and I read a LOT. I’ve been really lucky, always had a good job and haven’t had to struggle much. I see classmates around town and keep in touch with a few of them. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Grow, Cindy (Warring)

Hi! In school my name was Cindy Grow. I went to Snohomish schools until my senior year. I actually graduated from Everett High, but feel that good old SHS is my alma mater. My family moved to Everett in my senior year. I would very much like to be included in Snohomish's reunion. It would be great to see all the old friends.


I am married with 3 children and 6 grandchildren.

Jones, Colleen (Bowdish)

Got married in 1970, got divorced after 5 yrs and 2 kids, and have been single ever since. Been all over the place working for the airlines for the last 20 yrs and love it. Have finally kinda sorta settled in Fort Lauderdale Flordia and have been here for the last 4 yrs. Love it here and my life here.

I moved to Alaska in 1982 and stayed there until 1996 working for the oil companies as an accountant. Retired from them in 1991 and went to work scheduling flight crews for the airlines. When MarkAir went under I came back south and have been with 5 airlines since. Most of the airlines I worked for have gone under so it is “move on to the next one, where ever that may be.”

I lost my significant other last year after 22 years together so I am alone again, no complaints there. I love being single and plan on staying that way. I also lost my oldest boy in a car accident in Marysville in 1992 so I have 2 surviving boys…my 36 year old son lives in North Carolina and has a girl (11 yrs old) and a boy(9yrs old), my baby is 26 and lives in Riverside California and has one girl (4 yrs old).
Otherwise not much going on in my life, I have been in contact with several of my old classmates and we have been talking about the up coming reunion and I think I will make it to this one….
