  Both our kids are in school at Davidson College where Ruth teaches Chemistry. I am still doing carpentry.  I visit my mom and sister Becky ('68) in Chapel Hill regularly.

Call me if you are in the Lake Norman area.

It seems I spend most of my time taking care of old people in my family and my grandchildren.  I squeeze in a little time for work and travel!  I will be leaving in a few days to visit Edie Clark in Michigan.  We try to get together at least once a year after losing touch for over 30 years.

  In 1969 I went to work at the Chapel Hill Police Department  and am still there 37 years later. I got married in 1974 and have two beautiful daughters. My youngest came with me to the Reunion. Since then she has moved to GA and my other daughter lives in FL. (No grandkids). My husband and I also own a Garage and Towing Service in Durham.

  One of the few to stay in Chapel Hill after high school graduation to attend UNC.  After graduating in 1967 in Business Administration, worked for IBM in Atlanta in their small business group.

Ran off to sea in 1970: worked in the Caribbean and Mediterranean as a yacht cook for millionaires.  I fed the crew.  Returned to US and lived for two years in Denver in an ashram under the auspices of Guru Maharaji.

Returned to UNC in 1974 to audit accounting courses to sit for the CPA exam which I finally passed after starting a software development firm named SYSGEN.  Became the agent of Coca-Cola USA to create, install, and maintain a distribution system in 48 of their 150 bottlers nationwide.  We built a second generic accounting system and sold that for awhile until I finally sold the company in 1987 and slowed down the pace.

Married Chris two weeks after my 45th birthday.  He's an avid sailor so we spent the first ten years of our marriage preparing to "sail away" which we did in June, 2003.  Return annually to Chapel Hill to test the home waters and continue to love the Triangle area.  Sailed Venezuela, Bonaire, Curacao, Aruba, San Andreas, and Panama during the winter of 2006-2007.

  6 kids, 3 grandkids. Retired last July after 30 years in the Navy. Now I'm working more now than before I retired! Is that the way it's supposed to work?

  Moved to Chapel Hill 5 1/2 years ago. Still traveling a great deal with my work (The Navigators Military Ministry)- no retiring for me! Of our 3 kids, one lives here in CH (married, one grandchild), one in Wilmington, and one in NYC. We enjoy being back in CH, it has always been home.

  I share my life between Colorado and North Carolina. I have property on Bald Head Island and in Wilmington, NC and full-time residence in Colorado (Boulder). I own self-storage businesses and commercial real estate in Garner and Morehead City and some residential rental properties in Wilmington and Raleigh. My three sons are grown and settled, of course. The oldest is an architectural draftsman in Wilmington with a beautiful 5 yr old daughter. The middle son has a masters degree in marine biology and is a water quality specialist in Wilmington, unmarried. The youngest is a masters level psychologist but is working as a pharmaceutical salesman.  He lives with his wife in Jacksonville, Florida, and his first baby is due in March, 2007.

My recreational life is mostly about being outdoors given the places I live. In Colorado, I golf, hike (both low and high altitude...hiked a 14,000 ft. mountain two summers ago), snowski, snowshoe, cross-country, and bike both on-road and off-road (moderate trails only.) Life here is fabulous without humidity, and there are very few days when the sun doesn't shine, and it is very easy to be healthy here. I am on the Board of Directors of the Imagine! Foundation which is the fundraising arm for the developmentally disabled communities of two counties here. The charity work completes my life, as I have so much to be thankful for and so much to give back.

Both of my parents are gone, but Chapel Hill is still my home although I don't get there often anymore. I am a Tar Heel til death, and I joined the UNC Club in Denver for special game days. I dated a Carolina graduate who lives in Boulder for a few years...such fun! We spoke the same Southernese and understood what really makes the world turn...TAR HEELS!

Love to all...hope to attend the next reunion!  Great job for getting this website up and running!

  Transferred to UNC after studying at Randolph-Macon for two years.  Pledged Kappa Kappa Gamma with fellow CHHSers, Nancy Aycock, Joan Archer, and Jackie Jennings.  Graduated in 1968 with a Business Administration degree.

Moved to Atlanta to search for a real estate development career. Drove the major of Atlanta around town during the International Convention of Rotarians in 1969.  Later HUD transferred me from Atlanta to Washington DC via Greensboro. At HUD I worked with towns and states to coordinate the development of multi-family housing.  Boy, did I attend a lot of local BBQs as I met my constituents between NC-GA.

Returned to Chapel Hill in the mid-80s and joined Prudential Real Estate as a broker to learn that my true love was being an independent agent.  Worked extensively with the Kappa alumni including Bernadine Sullivan to enhance the Kappa House in Chapel Hill.

During the 22 inch snow storm in 2000, I experienced a life-threatening medical event which landed me in the assisted living section of Carolina House near Glen Lenox in Chapel Hill.

That's what has happened to me!  Call me at 919-932-2657 and let me know what you have been doing!

  Retired from JPMorgan March of 2005.
5/4/08 Deedee (Whitney) Bromeier
 

It is with a heavy heart that I have to tell you my dearest Deedee passed away May 4, 2008, after battling Alzheimers for 10 years.  She was 62 years old.  Deedee and I met at Wrightsville Beach in the summer of 1986, fell in love, and married in November of 1986.  We had 22 wonderful years of love, happiness, and being ‘real soul mates’ together!  She really loved her years at Chapel Hill High and living in Chapel Hill.  

I am real sorry she did not live long enough to attend your CHHS reunion, as she would have enjoyed it very much.  I wish you every success with the forthcoming reunion and Deedee will certainly be there ‘in spirit,’ as she loved CHHS and her time there very much.  Kindest regards, her husband, Ed Bromeier
