The Laudenslager Family

Hello Saks HS Class of 1988! Cool to see what everyone is up to these past 20 years. I attended Auburn University after graduation, where I met my wife, Kari. She's a Nurse Practitioner (NP), while I graduated with a degree in engineering (and later a masters). We have a 6 year old daughter, Claire Alyeska (born in Alaska, hence the middle name). I have been in the Air Force for @ 15 years, and will pin-on Lieutenant Colonel in November. The AF has taken us all over the world (similar to the Goff's): Texas, Ohio, Louisiana, Georgia, Alaska, Saudia Arabia (1 yr remote), Haiti, and South Korea (1 yr remote). I currently work on the Inspector General (IG) staff for Air Combat Command (the AF command for all combat aircraft). Best of luck to everyone and hope to see you at our reunion - if I'm not on the road with an inspection. Take care, Mark

20 Years Already?

Well, well. I hate that I missed our 10 year reunion. I will try to make it this time! Here's the condensed version of my life after Saks: After graduation I went to Salt Lake City to study Fashion Merchandising at LDS Business College. I transferred after a year to the University of Utah (Go Utes!). I came home for Christmas one year and married Troy Haney from Lincoln in 1991. We have moved to Sterrett, AL; Orem, UT; Leeds, AL; St. George, UT; Kingsland, GA; Greenwood, SC; Ninety-Six, SC; then here to good ol' Misery. I mean, Missouri. We have 4 daughters, ages 8, 11, 14, and 15. I think my favorite place we have lived is Kingsland; we were only 20 minutes to some beaches and we spent alot of time there boogie boarding. My regret: I didn't learn to surf. I haven't worked until we moved here, where I worked at an Elementary School doing Lunch/Recess Duty. It's just what it sounds like. It was alot of fun. Then I started working at the local branch of our county library here and love it. I want to work at a library forever. Love the order, the quiet, the books...it's great. So that's me! Hope to see you in September!

Hello everyone! It has been a long time. I married Frankie Brown from Wellborn in 1995. We don't have any children but have several neices and nephews we adore. I still live in Saks. I am currently employed at Ideas Plus where I work for my mother-in-law. I am a customer service/sales person. We sell advertising specialties such as pens, keychains, stadium cups etc. We also do embroidery and screen printing for apparel items. I have had the pleasure of seeing some 0f you in recent years there. I was the manager at GNC for several years where I also got to see many of you. I have recently started teaching Sunday school at my church. Maybe I will be able to attend the reunion. I have really enjoyed the blog and pictures. I don't have one to post at this time.
God Bless
