Class Of - Shawn Snider

50th Reunion 11
My husband, Don, is a research scientist in cardiovascular medicine at The Cleveland Clinic.
We have two daughters. The oldest, Starla graduated from EMU with a BA in English, French, and
German. A few years ago, she received a MFA from the University of Arkansas. She is currently searching
for a publishing company to have a novel, which she translated from German into English published. She
is married to Yan Ling, a wonderful Chinese-American, and they live in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
Our youngest daughter, Alicia, graduated from Bethel College in Indiana with a BA in Criminal Justice
and Human Services. She is employed as a CO in Elkhart, Indiana. Her goal is to become a parole officer.
It will be good to hear from all of you again.

Hi, Class of 1958,
Who would have thought ten years could go by so fast!!!
I thought I would be there for the BIG 50 th but plans have changed. My mother, Norma Deputy, is at
VMRC in the Alzheimer’s unit. My sister, Lois Huffman, and I try to come and see her as often as we can.
We were there in May of this year and will be going again in September. September was better for my sister
to make the trip.
My life is a very busy one. You hear stories about retired people being so busy, that’s me. I retired from
banking after 34 years with the same bank. My husband was also a banker. He retired after 33 years.
I have three stepdaughters, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Do I feel old? Sometimes.
I am active in a sorority and was president of my Pilot Club the past year. I got to come to a convention
in Norfolk, Virginia, during my term which was fun. I teach Sunday school at our church which is
Westview Community.
We just purchased a home at The Villages in Florida. We will be spending time there. My sister lives
there. I love spending time with her.
My hobbies and the things I enjoy are pretty much the same as ten years ago--going to the Rec Center,
swimming, shopping, travel, cooking, and knitting, spending time on the computer, and listening to my
husband, Tom, play his sax. His hobby is being a musician.
I’ve rambled on long enough. Enclosed is a photo of hubby and me, if you need pictures.
I will be thinking of you guys, wishing you all a fun time and maybe in another five or ten years, we will
be able to meet again.
God bless each one,
—Betty Deputy Holder
I worked at Shenandoah Manufacturing for 18 years, and then I have been with Early Equipment for 32

We are currently active with Weaver’s Church and the Singers Glen Ruritan Club which is where we now
live. I have most recently been helping out with the Brethren Mennonite Center and with the moving of the
Old Salem church into Singers Glen.

Hello, Classmates:
I don’t know how one can do a quick update of 50 years, but I shall try. After graduation, I went to work
for Dad in the family heating oil business (I’m still there). After three years, I returned to EMC (fall of 1961)
