After spending our senior year together, Judy Bon and I took different paths upon graduation. Judy went to Hennepin Co General for her nursing degree. I went to the U of M for my degree in Physics. As time passed we got back together and were married in 1968 after both our graduations.I had planned on continuing in physics, but my draft board had other ideas. So I signed up for ROTC in grad school and got my MBA. Upon graduation we moved to Cincinnati for a short time with Procter & Gamble. Then into the USAF for 5 years spent in northern Michigan and Dayton Ohio. Upon leaving active duty I decided to stay in the reserves, which I did for the next 20 years ending in retirement. Coming back to Minneapolis I spent 5 years with the Minneapolis Fed and then the next 30 years in finance with Rosemount Inc and other local manufacturers. For the last 14 years I have been a director with a large nonprofit that aids homeless vets. Judy went to work at general hospital while I was in grad school. She worked off and on as the boys were growing, her last job as parish nurse in a Bloomington congregation. Upon our retirement we became dedicated snow birds, buying a second home (our "cabin") near Birmingham, Alabama. Our son lives there with 2 of our grandchildren. Our other son remains in Minnesota with our other two grandchilden (and our only granddaughter). We split our time pretty evenly between the two. Both of us have had some health issues, but are doing well considering. Our time is split between grandkids, church, friends, and traveling. Thanks, Washburn, for study hall when Ballintine and Bon were forced to sit next to each other! Send Richard a Message
