Rhonda (Hickok) Dafoe 1977 Graduate
Hi, I'm back. Like so many others that have moved away,
then came back to live. I went from Minneapolis to New
Jersey and back again to the Manistee area. I live in
Fountain with my husband of 5years, Jim, our 2 dogs and 2
cats. My son Jason Tighe is 24 years old now and a father
of a beautiful 7 mo old daughter, Carleigh Corrigan
Tighe. I guess that makes me a Grandma! I work at
Manistee County Central Dispatch/911 and really love it,
most of the time. I still love horses, but share a new
passion/hobby with my husband. Sailing. We have a boat
that we keep on Portage Lake in the summer and still
enjoy the area year round. If anyone would like to get
together and start planning a class reunion, please
contact me, r_dafoe@hotmail.com
Debra Irvine (now Kloss)
I have been living in California
since 1979. I spent several years in Santa Cruz where I
worked on various environmental campaigns: Nuclear
Weapons Freeze, American Indian Movement (AIM) and
Greenpeace USA. I then headed to Sacramento where I
joined the Capitol office of Assemblyman Tom Hayden. I
met my husband Jawn (of 18 years), who at the time was
working for then State Senator Diane Watson. Shortly
after, I became the Director of the Sacramento Greenpeace
office. I studied at CSUS simultaneously. After getting a
BA in Political Science, Jawn and I moved to England to
work on our Master's Degrees. I attended the University
of Middlesex in London. Jawn was in Brighton at the
University of Sussex. I earned a Master's of
Environmental Policy. When we returned Jawn began a long
career of teaching Sociolgy at a local Community College
and political cartooning (as well as drawing a nationally
syndicated Sunday Funny) I opened an antique store. I
traveled the globe looking for old treasures and became
an authority on antique French perfume bottles. Just over
two years ago, I decided to return to my chosen field. I
accepted a job with the California Environmental
Protection Agency. I am a "legislative and
regulatory specialist" in the field of pesticide
regulation and enforcement. Jawn and I live in an
"alternative" community. There was an article
about us in Time magazine three years ago. It is called
"Co-housing". We were the fifth such community
in this country. There are now over 100. I never had
children, but I have four lovely cats. I practice Yoga
and love organic gardening. The quintessential
Californian. I am very happy. I would love to hear from
former classmates.

Carolina over the past 17 years we have decided to settle down and
remain in Virginia until our daughter graduates from school. We
have enjoyed traveling over the years but feel it is time to allow
our daughter the ability to put down some roots and make a few
friends. I still travel from time to time outside the U.S.
