Classmate Profile:
Vicki (Oswalt) Guth




After graduating from Madison I stayed in San Diego for a few years. I took a vacation to visit family and, because of some personal problems back in San Diego, decided to move back to my home town - Chicago (home of the 2005 Champion White Sox - even though I'm more partial to the Cubs!).

I met my future husband, Tom, at a gas station. He was the owner and I was a customer. That old saying, "love at first sight" really applies to us. We met, got engaged two months later, and have been married for 23 years. We have two beautiful children, Thomas, 10 and Sara, 8. The greatest accomplishments of my life are my children. My husband and I tried for 13 years before being blessed with Thomas. Then . . . 2 years later, Sara.

I also fell into a great profession after high school, working for an attorney who was an expert at nothing but did a little of everything. I guess you could say that was my schooling. Now, 23 years later, I'm still typing away. I have a job that I love and am very content with my chosen field. My husband and I have our own business - he is a jeweler. The irony in that is the fact that I am not the jewelry-wearing type. Go figure. I have a jeweler husband and I wear one piece of jewelry.

Now, if only we had a shoe store. . .

We are finding that even though we are older parents, this is definitely the best time of our lives. I miss the easy care-free high school days, but soon enough I will be reliving them through my kids. The dances, proms, etc., I can't wait!!

Life has definitely had its ups and downs but I can safely say I've had many, many more ups than downs!!!

In my spare time I enjoy reading, shopping (which is probably more of a vice than a hobby) and SLEEPING. I currently reside in Chicago, IL. (Profile written February 2006)

We'd love to do a profile on you, too. Give your classmates a chance to see what you've been up to since we graduated.
