From Bruce: My life has changed a lot recently. I have a Master's degree in counseling, but I'm out of the field at this time. I'm divorced after almost 30 years of marriage. My children are grown, two in college and one graduated and working. I'm still involved in music, playing in a comtemporary Christian band at my church. Family and friends mean a lot to me, especially now, so it's great to be part of the Class of 1968.
