Crown Point High School Class of 1970

We hope to continue to develop the Classmates page as a resource for future events and as a tool for friends to re-connect with each other.

We have over 350 active profiles. Over 200 of them have an e-mail address on file so you can send a message to a classmate easily.

Please take the time to keep your contact information current, and feel free to post up some notes that will let your friends stay connected.

Not all our classmates were able to join us at the reunion, but everyone on this website was featured in a video that ran throughout most of the evening. Even those friends who weren't there in person were with us in spirit.

Class Officers (left to right) Diane Amodeo, Secretary. Dave McDonald, Vice-President. Dana Shults, Treasurer. Keith Kahl, President.

Girl's and Boy's State reprsentatives were John Reynolds, Linda White, Bob Quade, Dave McDonald, Sandy Smead, Keith Seegers, Pete Mallatt, and Debbie McPhee.

Birthday:May 14, 1952 Occupation:Business Manager Marital Status:Single No. of Children:3

From Susan:I'm in Oak Park, IL...still working downtown, now for a high tech start up that works with Big Data. Learning that no matter what our settings are, the concept of privacy is rapidly evaporating!

A few milestones - new job, and a grandchild on the way. I love the idea of it -- but somehow not ready to say the "G" word yet.

Still reading a lot...writing behind the door...and I'll see all Oscar contenders before the awards...if you are near and want to see a film, I'm always up for it.

Wishing you all the best....

I taught mostly first grade for 31 years in the Lake Ridge School System. It was a wonderful career. I retired from there in 2007 and moved to Holiday, FL. I have been teaching for three years in the Pasco County School System. I miss my friends from NW Indiana but have made many new friends in Florida. I am looking forward to the CPHS 40th Reunion.

Occupation:Business owner Website:www.angledetailing.com Marital Status:Married No. of Children:5

From Gordon:

I grew up in a steel fabrication family. My Grandfather and Uncles taught me the skills needed in a fabrication shop. Munster Steel, a steel fabrication company in Munster Indiana, placed me working on shop drawings, providing templates for complex connections and cutting lists. I soon became a top lay-out and fitter and was given my own area and crew to fabricate steel frames and bridges.

I then worked as a steel detailer and shop supervisor for Crown Corp Erection Company in Highland, Indiana.

I started a drafting company in 1976; A to Z steel systems Inc., and moved it out to Oregon for more opportunities in 1979. In 1994, I changed the company name to Angle Detailing Inc. due to the end of a partnership. In 1999, I started Angle Detailing Inc. Arizona, located in Phoenix. In 2000, I opened Angle Detailing Inc. New Jersey, located in New Brunswick, NJ. Due to economic downturn I have had to shut down both of the new Companies to allow the strengthening of the Oregon Company. The Arizona Company closed in 2002 and the New Jersey Company closed in 2003.

When time allows, I am an avid fisherman. Kathi (Rooker) Ayres also from the Class of 1970 and I will be married 40 years on June 12th.
