CLASSMATE BIO

Joe Nabbefeld

Hi reunion planners - Thanks for putting this together.  I hope you get so many thanks that you do it again at least once more because sadly I won’t be able to make it this time due to a prior commitment that can’t move.  I share all the sentiment on the Web site about how great it would be to see and reconnect with everybody.  I regret not working harder to keep in touch.  I love reading the updates about others on the site, so in that spirit I’ll try to overcome bashfulness to contribute my update.   Love seeing the pictures too, so I’ll risk humiliating myself and attach one for use if you wish.

I’m writing from Seattle, where I’ve settled in for the long run (anybody visiting out this way, please say hello - one way to start is jnabbefeld@hotmail.com  ... why, say hello on that even if you’re not visiting, please).  I remain a working journalist, currently as real estate editor for a business publication called the Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce at www.djc.com.  A particularly virulent travel bug took me to stops such as: Minneapolis; San Diego; County Cork, Ireland; Crete; Cairo, Egypt; Little Rock, Ark.; and Birmingham, Ala.  I didn’t marry yet, thus no offspring except my dog Ray.  But I’m moving toward at least the former with a dazzling California-born video producer named Christine Ruiz.  We plan her first Wisconsin visit for August or September.  The skiing is excellent out here.

All the best.
