Dennis went to Northwest TV & Industrial Electronics School in Minneapolis while Chris worked at Electronic Supply Merchants Inc. in Minneapolis. After graduating Dennis worked at Honeywell where he worked on the guidance systems for many of the early space missions including Mercury, Gemni and Apollo.
We moved to Brandon in 1965 when we started Brandon Communications and operated this company for 38 years. We served customers over a 10 county area. When we retired we moved to a small hobby farm in the country.

Keeping track of the 10,000 plus pictures on our computer is memory therapy.
Dennis shares a ham radio station in our basement with son Pat. He contacts fellow hams in all the corners of the earth. Keeps him busy when Chris is sitting at the sewing machine.
We are counting the days until the class reunion.
