Gail Branch (Auten)

Marital status: Married
Children: 2
Occupation: Social Studies Teacher
Comment: My husband Tom & I will celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary in May.  We have two wonderful sons and a beautiful daugher-in-law.  In addition I have a lovely stepdaughter and her terrific family to complete our loving family.  

I spend most of my time these days focused on my work - teaching.  This is my 17th year to teach (first in Tulsa Public Schools and presently at Monte Cassino Middle School).  

In my "spare" time and summers I enjoy traveling, reading, gardening and hanging with my friends and family.

Marital status: Married
Children: 2
Occupation: Citizen of Destiny
Comment: Married since August 15, 1980 to the former "not my wife when I met her", Carolyn. She has been with Tulsa Public Schools for many years. Two boys: Youngest is on active duty with the U.S. Army and the other works for a geological company. We got started late with kids and have one cat. I was baptised on July 4, 2010. So it was also my Independence Day. My relationship with God has grown quite a bit since then and I give all Glory to Him.





 I was a carpenter right out of high school (Built among other things, "My Pi") and was employed by the father of a former alum, Lajuana Allcorn (class of 1974). She's still my great friend.





I worked at Nelson Electric for 29 years, first as an equipment assembler & then a design engineer. I was at a panel shop for three years and one year with Brown-Boveri. I'm 11 hours short of my pilots license. I am now retired from Nelson.





I have been playing my guitars since 1971 and still enjoy the rare jam when they occure. I like target shooting, collecting WWII memorabilia, scale model building (tanks, aircraft), oil painting, digital art, classical/big band/rock/blues music and photoshoping.





Be kind to strangers in need. Sometimes angels visit us in many guises.

Dale Catlin

Marital status: Married
Children: 1
Comment: I lived in Tulsa until 1980 when the company that I worked for transfered me to Wichita Kansas. I had always thought of Wichita as an intersection that you turned left at to go to Colorado. It is a lot like Tulsa only smaller.


I attended our first reunion but somehow the "keepers of the information" lost me after that. I finally got connected back with a couple of people I worked with at Hale one of which was on the reunion committee for our 35th. After giving her all my current information and exchanging multiple emails, she sent out a list asking for information on the missing. There I still was still missing. I gave up on reunions at that point.


I have been married to my beautiful wife for the last 15 years and we have an adorable 8 year old daughter who just started 3rd grade.


I work for Home Depot in Human Resources.
