Marriages have given me two sons, living in Phoenix and Rye, NY. Also included in the mix are four grandchildren, ages 2, 4, 6 and 13, whom we visit once or twice a year. My older son once told me that he was envious of me growing up in the fifties. In remembering back to those years, I KNEW they were the best of times, and was living in the moment.

DAN POST

After Catalina I attended the UofA for a year and then went to Argentina on an LDS mission for two and half years and then back to the UofA in the Ag College.

I traveled on the Rodeo Team and graduated in 1965 with a degree in Ag. Econ.

While at the UofA I married Patricia Phelps, a fellow student in education. Following graduation we moved to Hereford , AZ. where I managed a ranch for the Kern County Land Co. and Patricia taught school at Ft. Huachuca and Palominas. After a brief stay in Winkleman, AZ. we moved to Marana in 1970 to go into the farming business. During this time we raised three sons and eight daughters, who are now all married except one daughter who lives with us. We have 32 grandchildren.

In 2002 I left farming and ranching and opened a feed store, much like the one my parents had at Ft. Lowell and Dodge while I was at CHS. Two years ago we sold the business to one of our sons and retired on ten acres with our horses and keep busy with the grand kids. In Marana, I have served on the Governing Board of the Marana School district for 28 years and am presently Board President. I am also Chairman of the Board of the Cortaro Water Users Ass. where I have served for the last 11 years. We represent the farmers in protecting the agricultural water rights from urban encroachment.

And to fill in the rest of my time, I am President of the Marana Western Heritage Committee, a non-profit organization that promotes equestrian events for youth in the Tucson-Marana area. I still compete in amateur team roping events and occasionally win some money. Patricia teaches organ lessons and together we teach a marriage enrichment class at our church.

I worked for Texaco in Tucson for a couple of years driving a tanker and then was transferred to Phoenix to join the sales department. I stayed there for a a few years then went into trucking services sales with various trucking companies around the valley.

During that time I opened a shirt laundry and dry cleaners in Glendale, a suburb of Phoenix, and worked that for the next 26 years selling the business in 1999 and retiring.

I married my current wife, Carroll, in 1978 and at the time she had two children Greg and Deanne. Between the 2 families we have 7 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

We have traveled for the past 28 years either in our RV or overseas and plan on continuing our travels until unable to do so. Our last trip at the end of 2007 was to the Greek islands which was very beautiful and exciting.

I have so many fond memories of our years at Catalina and I find it difficult to believe that it has been 50 years since graduation. I have such a great time at these reunions with such great classmates.

Immediately following our marriage, I was transferred to Martinsville, VA where DuPont had a nylon plant. During our six year stay in Martinsville both of our daughters were born, Kelly in 1970 and Erin in 1973.
I returned to Wilmington in 1974 where I spent the rest of my DuPont career in a variety of assignments including managing two different businesses. Joanne owned and operated ski tour business. I retired in 1998 after 35 years of service. Joanne sold her business the same year.
Our daughters are both married and our older had our first grandchild, Tucker, in May of 2007. He is the cutest little guy you’ve ever seen! We now live in Telluride, CO where we are enjoying retirement although I am doing part time consulting and Joanne is a Real Estate Broker. We enjoy the mountains and ski in the winter, hike and play golf in the summer. We have just returned from a two week visit to South America celebrating our 40^th wedding anniversary.
