Reflections

What I Can Tell You

After 35 years at the Central Intelligence Agency, Mark Anderson reflects on the unexpected realities of retirement — from losing the daily sense of mission to rediscovering life beyond the job title. In this candid Q&A, he shares what surprised him most, what he didn’t expect to miss, and how retirement reshaped his perspective on identity, family, and purpose.

Why This Introvert Keeps Saying Yes to WHS 75-80 Reunions

Lisa Ramos Wilcox reflects on why, despite being an introvert, Wagner ’75–’80 reunions leave her feeling refreshed and connected — a reminder that these gatherings aren’t just events, but moments we shouldn’t assume will always be there.

Wagner Love Stories: Forever Started in the Philippines

We were military kids who met as teenagers on the other side of the world. We learned early that home wasn’t a place — home was people. For some Wagnerites, one of those people became forever.

Thanks to All the Wagnerites Who Found Me When I Was Lost

Whenever I have felt the most lost in life, it has always been a fellow Wagner alum that has helped me get found again. From that first friendly note in my locker in 1973 to the collective embrace when I lost Brice, my fellow Falcons have been there through every major transition and every moment when I needed someone most. This reunion is about saying thank you.

Building the In Memoriam Page

I didn’t want to launch this website until the In Memoriam page was finished. What I didn’t realize was how emotional that work would be—confronting loss — person by person, face by face, memory by memory. I started with Kim Wrentmore Abts because I had to start with Kim. She was our reunion’s biggest cheerleader. Just getting her picture right took longer than I expected. But she deserved that time.
