Harold Schaaf

After roaming the halls of CMHS, Harold Schaaf joined the Navy and shortly thereafter married his first wife, Linda. While this marriage lasted only 2 years, Harold did become the proud father of daughter, Jamie Lynette. Jamie is nearly 29 and is attending her last year of law school. Harold seems to think it might come in handy someday having a daughter who is an attorney.

Harold met and married his current wife, Chris, in 1981. One day, he climbed up into an 18 wheeler and started driving for a living. He drove for several years but disliked being away from home so much. He did enjoy seeing the countryside and even tried living in California for 2 years in the late '80's before moving to the Brighton area fourteen years ago.

The last few years, Harold has worked for a family-owned sanitation company. He says it's a smelly job, but pays good. AND, every once in a while, you do come across some good stuff. Like the time this lady was mad at her boyfriend and threw away his whole set of Craftman's tools!

Recently Harold and Chris started doting on the the newest member of their family - a CFA Registered Maine Coon kitten.

Unfortunately, on Jan, 16, 2006, Harold suffered a mild stroke. The doctors say it mostly affected his short-term memory so Harold says he should be able to remember all of his classmates!

He also enjoys fishing, camping and going to the drag races, and says "other than that, my life is pretty normal".

I want to personally thank both Harold and Chris for their attendance at the various "mini-reunions" we've hosted over the past year. It's been a real pleasure for me to get to know them. They're both looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion, so be sure to say hello!!!
