Ken Lagerquist 1990 Non KHS grad, still Kellogg in heart

Ken Lagerquist · Post by **Ken Lagerquist** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 10:38 am

Well, I never really did step foot in the high school, since I left before my freshman year when we moved to Montana. After leaving Kellogg we moved to Helena Montana and I spent two years at Helena High School. Then transferred to Boulder Montana and graduated from Jefferson High School there. After High school, I went to college for a couple years in Miles City Montana and then a semester in Dillon Montana at Western Montana College. After deciding I was tired of school I joined the Air Force in 1993. After going thru basic Training and Technical School, I headed off to Travis AFB, California where i spent a year there. I then got orders to Royal Air Force Mildenhall in England and spent two years there and while there, I deployed to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia for 3 months. After returning from Saudi Arabia, I received orders to Montana at Malmstrom AFB. It was nice to be back in Montana after being away for 3+ years. Then after 2 years there, I received orders to Alaska(my dream assignment) @ Eielson AFB outside of Fairbanks Alaska, and spent 6 years there with two deployments back to the Middle East. One was to Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia and then the other to Camp Cedar II in Iraq after the war started. I am finally considered a war veteran now. Once I returned from Iraq, a few months later I headed to F.E. Warren AFB in Cheyenne Wyoming where I have been for 2 years and married my wife July 22nd 2006. I am currently deployed to the Republic of Kyrgyzstan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, supporting operations in Afghanistan. Since I have been here, I received orders to Korea and have to be in place by Sept 07. We just received my follow-on orders to Spokane @ Fairchild AFB where we are wanting to retire. I will have 5 years left in the Air Force and we should be able to stay in Spokane with no more moves. My Wife Bobbi and step daughter Taylor are really looking forward to moving to the Inland Empire of Spokane Washington. It will be a nice change for us from Cheyenne Wyoming. We will definitely be enjoying the outdoor life there and the bigger city.

Hey Dean, do you know either my mom or dad, Tony or Barbara (lien) Nordin?

I don't know if any of you know Lori Haller, but she is getting hitched this next weekend. I'm going down to San Diego to the wedding if any one would like me to pass along any messages to either her or mike.

Congratulations to Lori. I taught her, and then she subbed for me a few times at KHS. Is she marrying someone from SD?

Mike Nordin · Post by **Mike Nordin** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 12:38 pm

No, someone from Nevada. I guess the San Diego decision has something to do with Mike living there and I think this might be one of those new wedding event kind of things. Mostly they are done in Las Vegas, Victoria B.C., Hawaii, or something like that. It's a wedding destination/vacation.

Well, I just gave a shout out on classmates.com to people I know. If there is anyone you want me to try to get over here let me know their names and what year they graduated. I have a 7 day free trail. Tell me soon though because I am going to drop it before the 7 days end!

Hi Mike,
I graduated with Lori in 94...please tell her I said hi and congrats! I saw her a few years ago at our reunion and it sounded like she was doing great!

Consider it done! How is Jason doing? I haven't seen that turkey for about two decades now. I think about him and Scott every once and awhile. I knew Danny but we never really hung out. The back yard football games, the wrestling matches, the b-ball games...ask Jason about the bottle rocket wars.

For those who don't know the Bumgardners, they are made of some of the toughest stuff I've ever come across! Especially Scott, I've met a lot of people who talk a good game, but he was (and probably still is) the real thing.

Megan Bumgardner · Post by **Megan Bumgardner** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 8:23 am

Thanks! I kind of remember you hanging around with Michael when I used to hang out at Lori's in middle school

Jason's doing really well. He's working at Home Depot in CDA and spending most of his free time either doing some kind of fishing or bird hunting. I've heard the stories about the Fairway Heights gang and even the bottle rocket wars. Jason and I have a son who will follow in his father's footsteps, I'm sure! Scott is doing well, also. He and Cassie live in Kellogg and have a son in 8th grade. Danny is in Louisiana, still, and probably always will be

He has 2 kids...the exact same ages as ours. I'll make sure and tell Jason you said hi!

Ya, the Fairway Heights bunch was a pretty wild group. Tell Jason, Go Rygar!!!

We corrupted Mike H., anything he did that was bad or questionable was becuase of us.

That's Lori Haller on the new membership. Hey Lori, did you think you would get away with that one.

Hey, I had a great time in S.D.! The pool hall was a good time, I wish it could have lasted longer.

It was also nice to meet Tara, too bad you couldn't stay longer.

I also can't believe mike bought me a beer. I think that was a first.

Mike, I remember your mother although I didn't really know her.. I think she was a couple of years behind me, maybe class of '63.

Did you know my Dad, Tony Nordin? He went into the service (Army) at the age of 16.

Gwen I just want to thank you for doing the K-log yearbooks on here. My parents and I enjoy them, and have used them to help us look things and people up. Thanks again!
