Dedicated to Hurting Others
Ann Jesse Driever is apparently going through some difficult times. The Reunion 50 committee asks friends and supporters of Ann to reach out. Ann needs help. She is sadistically hurting clasmates from the Class of 1975.
Although Scott Goold is Class President, Scott did not join the group to chair the committee. Scott's work on the website however did confuse Ann and other members. From the initial conversation, April 10, 2024:
Scott Goold: Let me share as we've been out of contact for a few minutes 🤣 My field is IT and tech. I develop large databases for companies and clients. That's why I've requested info on a website. You all have done amazing work. Don't want to step on any efforts by the group, but if you need tech services, I can provide what we need for free ...
Ann Jesse Driever: It's over my head. I just delivered packages for 33 years. Let me know what to do. About time to pass the torch.
Scott Goold: In my opinion, nobody should pass ANY torches. Seems you have an excellent committee in place. Jeff asked if I wanted to chair. That would be inappropriate. Y'all have done the heavy lifting all these years. I prefer a seat at the table while someone else chairs. Seriously PROUD of all of you for the work you have done. You have kept the LIGHTS on Class of 75. You are all truly amazing and I can't wait to see all of you again.
Ann Jesse Driever: Sounds good. Thanks Scott. We of ancient technology are at your services. No toes stepped on. Mahola.
No Torch Needed to be Passed. Ann Resigned May 22, 2024
Most of us are now 65+. It is likely we all have learned that life is a mixture of sunshine, as well as rain. There are times of great pain, but also moments of tremendous joy and happiness — these brief periods can seem to be fleeting and far between for many of us.
Kathie Williams Chase wrote to Scott Goold, copied Ann Jesse Driever, May 28, 2024 — six days after committee members resigned:
Scott, life has come to everyone of us in some way or another. I’m sorry for your struggles, pain and suffering but I hope you haven’t experienced the pain and challenges Ann dealt with while Jimmy was sick for years and years and years.
Scott Goold and Kathie were close in high school. They haven't had much real Friend Zone Time in decades. If so, Kathie would know that Scott would not want her to "feel sorry" for him. Scott expected life to present challenges, pain and suffering. Scott believes all of us must have courage, faith and perseverance.
Scott Goold also knows life presents many amazing opportunities. Scott's greatest disappointment at this time is to learn how childish, egotistical and territorial people like Ann Jesse Driever and other former classmates have become.
Scott Goold knew Ann's husband, Jim Driever, well. Jim was older than Scott and Scott says he was quite an inspiration. Jimmy, he says, was a man who walked the walk of caring for others, loving others and sacrificing for others. Jimmy's life burden was heavy and painful. Scott sympathized with both Jim and Ann for the crosses they carried.
Jimmy's obituary paints a picture of a true hero and loving family man. Just imagine how Jimmy must feel knowing his sweetheart from Highland High School now obstructs classmates working to prepare for their Reunion 50 event.
Jimmy E. Driever, 54, finished a 25-year-long, toe-to-toe battle with Lou Gehrig's disease peacefully at home on August 18, 2009.
In June 1985, Jim was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, prompting him to retire early from the fire department. Doctors gave him six months to live and he was told he would not survive to see his youngest daughter born.
Jim defied his prognosis and beat all odds, seeing his daughters grow up and graduate, walk them down the aisle and become mothers themselves.
He was born in Pocatello, Idaho, on March 24, 1955, and raised by two loving parents, Jim and Carolyn Driever. He was the second of four children.
Jim met his high school sweetheart, Ann Jesse, at Highland High School in April 1973. They later married on August 14, 1976, at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Pocatello, Idaho. They were blessed with two daughters, Nicole and Whitney.
After graduating high school, Jim worked at J.R. Simplot as a laborer. He then attended Idaho State University College of Technology, graduating in body mechanics.
Jim loved the outdoors, including skiing, camping, softball, and track and field. He received many trophies and medals from the Idaho Police and Firefighters games held in Pocatello and Sacramento, California; and the World Police and Firefighter Olympics held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Blocking Rather Than Communicating With People
Ann Jesse Driever wanted to be committee chair. Scott Goold supported her efforts and position. Ann however didn't chair the committee professionally. When Scott reached out to her about concerns, Ann typically just did not respond. She did not provide leadership.
Ann resigned May 22, 2024. Jeff Waldron informed Scott Goold, May 23, 2024. As Class President, Scott is both honored and bound to take charge for classmates. Scott accepted the chair position, and Scott publicly announced the new role. Scott then offered others to team with the Reunion 50 committeed. Ann said nothing.
Roy Allen, committee Treasurer, informed Scott that Ann would transfer the Class of 1975 funds to Reunion 50 committee. Ann did not object. Ann did not speak up or express disagreement. Ann again simply said nothing.
Ann Jesse Driever then blocked Scott Goold from her personal Facebook page. They had been connected for years. For some reason, Ann not only refused to communicate, she was openly hostile toward Scott and prevented any communication that would ease tensions or resolve this conflict. This behavior obstructed Reunion 50 and hurts classmates.
Scott Goold had reached out to other classmates, and by coincidence, Ann's daughter, Nicole Driever Nelson. The two chatted through Facebook messenger (right).
Scott Goold notified Ann (6.13.24) that he had connected with Nicole, as an experiment. Scott wanted to observe Ann's behavior:
Good morning ... will be in meeting until noon. After I will write how you hurt classmates as well as your family. Your behavior is unacceptable.
Scott Goold logged back into Facebook on his return. Scott found Nicole had now blocked him as well (right). Scott sent a text to Ann:
Perfect. I told you ... knew Nicole would block me. None of you can have a professional conversation. Wanted to prove my point.
Ann Jesse Driever prevents Scott from communicating with classmates or her connections. Ann blocks Scott Goold, rather than communicate with him. This behavior is not professional. This action shows Ann Jesse Driever is not competent to lead or chair the Reunion 50 committee.
Nicole Driever Nelson BLOCKED Scott Goold. Why?
Why are these ladies afraid to have a conversation? Can't just block people who are working on a project together. Ann Jesse Driever does not provide leadership or allow discussion. And without leadership, the tensions in the group cannot be resolved.
Embarrassing Family
For an unknown reason, Ann Jesse Driever works to ensure Reunion 50 committee fails their mission to allow classmates to vote. We are doing the best we can to recover Class of 1975 funds and property. We unfortunately are compelled to share this negative behavior. Your 50th reunion is priceless. We only get one shot at this opportunity.
Nicole Driever Nelson family harmed by Ann Jesse Driever
Nicole wrote, "Good luck, Scott. I only wish the best for you."
Nicole added, "I am also a mental health professional ... My mother is a kind, honest, and hard-working woman. I will always back her up. ALWAYS!"
FACTS are different in this matter. Ann Jesse Driever resigned the planning committee on May 22, 2024. Class President, Scott Goold, assumed chair role the next day.
Roy Allen sent a text to Scott, May 25, 2024.
Hi Scott,
I met with Ann yesterday and asked her to forward the class funds to you so that you can carry on with your efforts towards the class reunion. She said that she would and you should receive those funds soon. Ann told me yesterday that everyone quit the reunion committee. I don't know the extent of the list of contacts but I will ask Greg Burk to forward to you what was done.
Roy
As of June 13, 2024, Ann Jesse Driever has refused to communicate with the Class President, refused to transfer Class of 1975 funds, and continues efforts to sabotage the Reunion 50 committee and harm classmates of the Class of 1975.

June 7, 2024: Scott Goold to Nicole Driever Nelson
I'm aware of your work for DV victims. Outstanding. Maybe I'm narcisst personality; then also is your mother. You call me a brick wall. She's also a brick wall.
You're a counselor. You mediate and help people through challenges. I'll make YOU a DEAL ... all I ask of your mother is to TRANSFER the class funds to me. Takes her 20 seconds to send a text confirming this request.
"Scott, I will transfer the class funds to your Reunion 50 committee on [date]. Good luck as chair."
Once I have her agreement, this negativity ends. She resigned. She promised. I need her to Officially Transfer Authority so I can move foward with our work. We can't have two "cooks in the kitchen."
One text from her ... this ends.
You call call me names; you can throw Ad Hominem attacks at me. Doesn't change my mission. Your mom can refuse to communciate. Only creates more tension.
If you're the professional you claim to be — then you must speak to your mom — otherwise, you're not a professional.
Professionals MUST distance from personal feelings. You do that in your DV victim advocacy work. You are required to do that in professonal work.
Now, I seek your help — as you claim to be a professional working in DV — and this is a DV situation at this point. You must remain neutral and require ALL parties to behave professionally.
Ann sends me the confirmation, this ends. That simple!!! Please be a professional to help your mother and I at this time.
You wish me luck. Luck doesn't solve this dispute. You claim you "wish only the best for me."
If so, be a professional and END this conflict. One text and this ends. Please be the leader at this time.
Thank you!
Nicole Nelson Driever Did Not Respond

No progress with your mother? Hoped your professional skills could break this impasse ...
