After my mission, I went back to BYU and got my degree in Microbiology. Soon after college, I married Janna Yost, who served in the Harrisburg, PA mission. We went to Shreveport, LA where I earned my Ph.D. in Cell biology at LSU. After that, I did a fellowship at OU Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City and I am now a research professor at this medical center. During our 11 years of marriage, we have had 4 kids; Kurt (9), Taylor (6), Ann (3), and Kimberly (9 months). Currently, Janna is serving as the YW president and I am the ward clerk. We stay active in cub scouting, young women activities, and competitive bike racing. We migrate to Utah every year to visit Janna's family in Emory county, but we will miss the reunion due to scheduling conflicts.
Hope you guys have a great time at the reunion and I will be thinking of ya'll.

Ed Harris and Family

It's really hard to cram 15 years into a paragraph but, I'll have a go.
Got home- had a date the first night with a wonderful young lady called Ruth- less than 2 years later we were married.
Went to University to study history and theology- then got a teaching certificate. I have been teaching secondary school (11-18) Religious Studies and Philosophy for the last 11 years- now do tonnes more admin and managing in between teaching- but still love my time in the classroom. We have four children Eleanor (10), Abigail (8), Gideon (6) and Martha (21 months) who keep us both busy running around after them.
I have never stopped studying- I am now doing a PhD part time about the relationship between Latter-day Saint and Christian theology.
I still live in Manchester- and both Ruth and I have served in various Church positions in our ward and stake. Currently I serve in the Stake Presidency and am still loving the opportunity to serve.
I guess I could have summarised this paragraph as "I spent the last 15 years being incredibly busy".
We wish we could be there, and someday we will make it to Utah!!
