Mark Rappe

We both are in golf and bowling leagues.
Health hanging in there and hoping to go see 3 grandchildren in Loveland soon.
We are going to Fort Leavenworth KS and Kansas City in July 2024 to see my parents first small home.

1. What are your most memorable moments from your years at Fairview High School?
Remembering the personalities of several staff: Wrestling Coach Bill Kucera; Football Coach Bob Foster; Fairview’s first Principal Gerald Ellison and Counselor/V.P. Larry Danielson.

2. What things do your classmates probably not know about you?
Became more scholastically inclined during the college days (i.e., late bloomer). High school was so much like the movie “American Graffiti” that studying was on the back burner.

3. What are important events in your life since graduation?
Met my wonderful wife, Pat, in Roswell, NM in 1976 and we will be celebrating our 48th anniversary in August 2024. We have 1 son and 3 grandchildren in Loveland, CO. Spent 33 years in education, finishing the last 22 years in administration.

4. What are the important things that you would like to tell your family, friends, community, and classmates at this legacy moment that aren't quite covered by the previous questions?
After retirement, Surprise AZ became our adopted home with lots of activities (e.g., golf; RVing; Jeeping; boating at Lake Powell). Several old friends, from going to school at CSC Greeley, live here at Arizona Traditions and we gather together for the Denver Bronco games. I have a small Property Mgt. Business.
