This was updated on 1/9/02.....I am still living in Wolfeboro, NH. My wife, Nancy and I have been married for 20 years with 3 children: Jennifer 17, Phillip 15, and Deanna 13. My wife is a registered nurse for the Intensive Care Unit at Huggins Hospital, in Wolfeboro. I spent 6 years in the Air Force. I have been working in the electronic business for about 22 years. Currently I work at Enterasys Networks (Spin off from Cabletron Systems) in Rochester, as a Systems Engineer. The kids and I are still running the road races, I finally broke the 20 minute mark for a 5k race. Phil is done playing hockey, so I'm no longer coaching hockey. We go to the UNH hockey games and have started skiing again in order to get through the winter months. I can't believe how much Penacook has changed over the years, it use to be such a small town. Anyone know why we never had our 25-year reunion?

Hello to all - I haven't updated my info in a long time, I guess! My daughter is now at MV as a junior and honor student and she is having a ball being in high school. We're still in Penacook, doing fine. I can't believe it's been 30 years since high school was over! I haven't attended any of the reunions but maybe the next one...Hope everyone is well. Stay in touch!

David Crawford Email: dnpcrawford@comcast.net Now Living In: Lake Ridge, VA I enlisted in the Air Force in 1976 as a cop; completed my BS in Psychology in 1980 from the University of Maryland and earned a commission as an Air Force officer. I spent 25 ˝ years in the Air Force before retiring in 2001. Most of my Air Force career I served as a Special Agent for the Air Force Office of Special investigations (AFOSI) which like the FBI conducts criminal, fraud, counterintelligence, and counterespionage investigations and operations. Most of my AFOSI career was spent in the cold war trenches as a counterespionage officer, which opened the door to my post retirement job …a civil service, GS-15 Special Agent counterintelligence officer working for the Department of Defense (DOD) in a new organization -- the Counterintelligence Field Activity. After a fun-filled 3 ˝ years with DOD and about 29 years total government service, I’ve now entered life in the private sector. I started with Gray Hawk Systems as the Vice President, National Security Initiatives – but within a few months the company was bought by Mantech International. Our Gray Hawk stock paid off nicely and I didn’t want to work for a large company or someone else. The Gray Hawk owner asked me and a couple of other Gray Hawk executives to join him in a new venture – Kingfisher Systems – a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business (all five of us are disabled vets, three Air Force and two Navy!). I’m the Executive Vice President and having fun bringing the new company up and running! Our business focus is on technology and operational solutions for the Intelligence Community. My wife, Priscilla and I have been married 24 years. Pris hails from Colorado Springs, but we met when I was stationed at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City where I flew as a “scope dope” for two years on the E-3A, Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft. Pris is a program security manager for Raytheon and loves her job, which was one of the reasons we decided to settle in Northern Virginia. The two oldest boys, Randall and Rusty are in the Navy, Randall in computer network security and Rusty a Navy medic and physical therapist. Ryan just finished technical college in Oklahoma City and now works Gray Hawk Systems. Seth graduated from The Culinary Institute of America and recently opened a restaurant near Northampton MA called Holy Smokes (they converted an old parish church). The Air Force way of life was great! The Air Force paid for most of my BS degree and all of the two Master’s degrees I have earned, one in Strategic Intelligence and one in Public Administration and provided me opportunities to travel and experience many things while serving my country. I had a book published (long since out of print) entitled: Volunteers – The Betrayal of National Defense Secrets by Air Force Traitors. Yes, after all these years, I still run – just not quite as fast! I do manage to consistently log 30 miles a week. I have had the opportunity to run in some really great places such as the Pyramids in Egypt; along the Thames in London; the Seine in Paris; the Rhine in Germany and the Lake in Geneva. I’ve run in some of the great cities of the world like Berlin, Madrid, Rome, Manila, Venice, Mexico City, and Cairo to name just a few. I have also run in some countries with real cultural, social, geographical, and climate challenges such as Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Tunisia, Sweden and Jamaica. Would love to hear from any 1974 alumni!

Since leaving MVHS I have been married 32 years, had 4 children, (all grown now). Three of them are married and have children of their own. Russ and I are still together, living in NH most of the time, except for a few years while Russ was in the military. I have managed to keep in touch with some members of the alumni but would like to know if any one has heard from Merrilee Smith. Looking forward to hearing from others.

Hi everyone !! I managed to leave NH for a while but found my way back. I am married to a wonderfull woman (Marianne)for 18 years and have two great kids, Kirsten 12 and Derick 7. Marianne and I met in Newport, RI while she was going to nursing school. She is a reistered nurse and works in the Cardiac unit at Concord Hospital. I attended Roger Williams University in RI and received my BS in Architectural Engineering, went to Syracuse University Gradute school of Design as a Grad. teaching assistant and got my Master of Architecture. I ve had a 3-4 person Design firm ( DC Designs ), now for about 10 years. We do a mixed bag of design work, commercial, medical and custom residentail which keeps it exciting. We have been published nationally and this year won two of three NH American Institute of Architects design awards. But by far my favorite design is the Concord Clock tower which won awards but more importantly is referred to by my kids as the tower that my DAD built. I ve been trying to stay in shape, I hike and fly fish with Tim Faylor often and still run as much as time allows. Ive run 5 marathons, the last being the Boston 100th and had a blast. Hope all of you are doing well and find time to get in touch. I must say Ive never enjoyed NH more than by moving away and then coming back by choice!

I was pleased to find this site as I have often wondered what became of my many friends. After graduation, I came to the DC area and decided to make it my home. My husband of 23 years, Gene, is from this area. I have 2 children, a 19 year old daughter who attends Randolph-Macon Womans College in Virginia and a 16 year old son who is a junior in high school. I work as a legal secretary in Washington, D.C., but live in nearby Owings, Maryland about 2 miles from the Chesapeake Bay. For the past 15 years both my husband and I have been active in the local scouting programs. This has kept us involved with the kids and has provided us with many memorable adventures as well as enabled us to really enjoy the outdoors.

Hello everyone. Hmmmm...where to begin. I've moved around quite a bit since graduation. From the east coast to the west coast of southern California. Now I reside in Palm Harbor Florida just west of Tampa. I have 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren who also live in Flordia. My brothers and my mom also live here. It seems my entire family decided that NH winters were getting as old as we were. They migrated here much soon than I did. I've only been here for a little over a year but I'm loving it. I enjoy being close to my family and lord knows there's nothing nicer than living close to the beach. Although if you watched the news at all last year, you would also know that my 1st year in Florida was the worst Hurricane season they ever had....just my luck. It was pretty scary at times, but if that's the worst, I can stick it out. I've learned to stock up on Water and Batteries..hahaha. I have a great job at an Audio Visual company that sets up sophisticated conference rooms and control rooms amoung other things. Its pretty interesting work. Well thats about it....at least the short version of my story. I've been pretty busy and life has been good...I can't complain. Feel free to e-mail me, I would love to hear from any of you and see how you are all doing.

Hi! I spent 4 years in the Marines, then spent about 10 years wandering around the country. Have been a Realtor since the late 1980's with good success. I've been too busy with my passions of gardening, rock-hunting and deer hunting to do much else besides work. I still live in Salisbury, NH. Personal motto: Life is way too short, so live every day to the fullest!

'''2006 is starting out good..... I recently did a custom floor for Extreme Makeover-Home Edition. I flew down to Oklahoma the last week in January and meet the entire design team and of course Ty!!!! The show will be aired on ABC,March 12th at 8pm.... At the end of 2005 I moved to Meredith from Gilford..I''''m self-employed doing mostly custom ceramic tile murals for homes and businesses.I designed the famous "Eye of the Storm" print of New Hampshires Old Man of the Mountain. Had a few articles written in regards to my business in NH Magazine and the Concord Monitor. Thanks to Yankee Magazine and the internet I have a very successful on line business. My pland for 2006 is to expand my business with a showroom and to purchase a commercial laser engraver. This will add a whole new dimension to what is possible with custom products for commercial and residential properities... I lost my wife Linda in 2004 from ovarian cancer and it really sucks...losing her left a big emptiness in my life. Later,Mike '''

Hello Everyone, I haven't checked in since I last visited the 20th reunion in 1994...had a fun time! I have been living in the Seattle area since 1983 working for the same TV station in an Engineering capacity. In 1997 the station was sold to the Viacom/Paramount/CBS group and I was promoted to Chief Engineer. I have been married to my wife Debbie (from Spokane, WA) since 1982 and we are about to celebrate our 20th! Yea! Gosh, time goes by quick. I have two children; Nicole, who graduates high school 6/8/02 and will be attending Hawaii Pacific University this fall majoring in Marine Biology. My son, Matthew is 16 and is an avid Triathelete...he also runs varsity cross country and swim team for his high school. He must have received his mother's genes for sports....I never could do sports in HS. Hope to see some of you in 2004 if we have a 30th reunion!
