After spending a year on the Oregon coast, John Cassinerio ’80 and his wife, Sandy, have moved back to the Puget Sound region, where they now work as independent contractors with Boeing’s Industrial Athlete program. John says: “We are empty-nesters and soon to celebrate 30 years of marital bliss (most of the time—she still has to deal with me!). We are looking forward to our 40th reunion coming up in 2020! Rock on, Class of ’80!”
John Goetz ’80 tells us: “I connected with Tom Bellit ’80 and John Nash ’80 here in Las Vegas this winter—it was great to see old classmates. I also enjoy living vicariously thru Phil Lamond’s ’80 Facebook posts. If you are in Las Vegas in the winter months, look me up!”
