CLASS PROPHECY There it was, 1970, and I was anxiously waiting at the Municipal Airport in San Francisco for my flight, which would take me to our 10th annual class reunion at the Jeffers High School in Painesdale, Michigan. Suddenly there was a call over the loud speaker for Capt. JAMES LAHTI who is now a pilot for the United Air Lines. As I boarded the plane, I was surprised to learn that KAREN SHEBUSKI was the head stewardess. Upon being seated I found my traveling companion was KATHY STEMBERGER, now a famed artist who had just flown in from an art exhibition in Vienna. Seated near her was PATRICIA LASSILA who had just flown in from a fashion show in Honolulu. She is now one of the top fashion designers. Then at the reunion I learned about my other class mates:
