I'm remembering a poster that Mr. Braden had hanging on his wall at Miller Junior High--"Experience is the comb life hands you after you've lost all your hair." So true... Thankfully, I've still got lots of hair, but wow--life is sure full of a lot of twists and turns, eh? God has worked out everything in my life for His good purpose, though, and He's "growing me up" day by day. ;-)

After spending 7 yrs as a divorced mom of 2 kids, I got remarried last year to Bryan, who has blessed my life in ways I can't begin to express. He has 2 girls of his own, so we are now a family of 6.

I ran my own medical transcription company for 9 yrs, and then decided to go back to school and do something else. After 6 yrs of college, I graduated last May and am now a speech therapist at a care center in Boise, working mainly w/ people who've had strokes. It's a terrifically rewarding job and I'm loving it!

Wish I hadn't missed the 10-year reunion, but I'm really looking forward to getting re-acquainted with you all at this one!

Tacoma Community College
Clark College

Gosh, where to start. I've been so blessed in life. Since our last reunion I got remarried, to a wonderful man and we had a baby girl, now almost two. We now have a boy, girl and dog. We have a simple but wonderful life. I could not want for more.

I have had good opportunities in the business world over the years, but it's truly the times with my family that have meant the most. Playing games with my son, dancing with my daughter and camping with my family have been some of the best memories I could have.

I recently decided to go back to work for at least a few years. I have chosen a position however that will allow me to put my family first, because truly isn't that the whole reason why we work?

I wasn't sure at first whether I wanted to attend the reunion, but after reading so many of the bios I discovered that growing up with all of you have made me who I am today. I look forward to seeing you and wish you the very best in life.

By the way, I don’t feel thirty-eight. How about we all tell each other we don’t look a day over twenty-eight?!:)

Attended Grays Harbor C.C.

Graduated from Oregon State University

After graduating from college I had a few different jobs while still living in Oregon, mainly Portland. I lived and worked all over the state till 1998 when I met my wife. I moved to Seattle in 1998 and started working in the elevator industry in sales. Julie and I just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary and the birth of our 2nd child. We live in Edmonds, WA near where my wife teaches 5th grade.

David and I are in our final year of raising our children (if there is such a thing), as DJ is now a Senior at Aberdeen High. April has been on her own for several years and is working for Weyerhaeuser. David is a Meat Manager, overseeing employees in all three Swansons stores and in between our busy work schedules, we have been starting to travel and enjoyed a cruise - we hope to do more after graduation. We enjoy weight training, skiing, and other outdoor activities. David has run two marathons, with a goal to qualify for the Boston Marathon by age 40, which is just around the bend.

Fours years US Army

After the military I spent the next seven years in San Francisco working at UC. The last four working for the transplant department doing organ recovery work. It was during this time that I met and married Robin. A mid-life crisis at 30 and relocating back to WA led me to my software and Microsoft.

Kelsey 14
Michael 11

I am married to my wonderful husband, John, for 18 years. Of all the choices I've made in my life (good or bad), he is my favorite and my best. We own a local business and moved to Central Park in Autumn of 1994. Aside from my marriage, my children are my greatest acheivement. I decided to put all my energy into my family when we were blessed with Kelsey. She is a bright student and a gifted musician, singer, dancer, and actress, who brings passion and richness to our lives. My son, Michael was a gift from God after losing my mom to cancer. He has brought joy and laughter to us ever since. Michael is a gifted musician and a fantastic athlete, who also shares our love for theater. They must have picked up the bug as I pretty much raised them in the local theater. Actually, Kelsey will even be performing the weekend of the reunion and Michael will be assisting the Tech Director. (OK, I'm just a little proud.)

Since they are getting older, I've decided to prepare for a new career when they are gone. I am now studying to earn degrees in English and History, and have arleady established my minor in music. I will begin teaching voice next year and hope to be teaching history and choir by the next reunion. Then again, life has so many twists and turns who knows where we'll be led?

Mai (My) 13 going on twenty something. She was my Christmas present in 1990, truly the gift that keeps on giving. We missed Santa by a couple of hours, but not for lack of trying!!!! Mai is going into the 8th grade next school year, life is all about boys, clothes, boys, friends,boys, shopping,boys,talking on her cell phone,boys,playing soccer,boys, running,boys...well you get the idea. She does manage to squeeze in some Mom time now and again.

Rory was a present from the Easter Bunny 11 years ago. I guess I have a thing for the holidays! He is wonderful, sweet, looks just like his dad, Doan Nguyen class of '83, except with curly hair. I forgive Rory for his looks, can't be helped. He has just enough Bell stuborness to really aggrivate his father who he lives with in Anchorage, Alaska. Bless his heart!! He is into fishing, hunting, digging clams, riding his bike, skateboarding, and general mischief.

Wow, just like everyone, a lot has happened in my life. I'm not a world traveler, I don't have a job that pays oodles of money, a mansion or fancy car. I have been married and divorced more times than I care to admitt to, I seem to have a five year tolerance level for spouses and jobs. I have survived the loss of my father, the loss of my father-in-law, a blended family of 8 children ranging from ages 2 to 16, my husband having cancer twice, loosing our home and car, our marriege ending, all in the space of 3 years. Got married again, moved to Portland, getting divorced again, moving back to Grays Harbor. Currently working on beautification of my cottage in Hoquiam that I bought when my son was only 2 weeks old. Sometimes life comes full circle and you get to start over. I'm enjoying reclaiming my garden, fixing up the house abused by renters for 8 years, treasure hunting to fill my home, and going for long walks/bike rides with my ex spouse who has been cancer free for several years. As far as I'm concerned, I am the richest most successful person from the class of '84. I'm fortunate enough to have a wonderful life long friend and soul sister from school (she knows who she is!), who's husband Joe tolerates our giggling and teasing. Somethings never change no matter how old you are!! I look forward to seeing faces I've known since kindergarten, and new aquintances from high school. By the way, does anyone know where the last 20 years went?

I have been married for 13 1/2 wonderful years. I have lived in Norfolk VA from 90-92; Fairfield CA from 92-95 where I did customer service for a local carpet company.

95-2001- Va Beach, Va ~ In Va Beach, I was a Deputy Clerk at the courthouse until I took a Asst Supervisor role for one of the biggest law firms in Va Beach. Our son Ben was born 2 months early with Celebral Palsey.

2001-current ~ I'm living in Port Orchard with my husband and our host daughter from Russia and then in August we will be hosting a young lady from Denmark. I'm currently a training manager for the ASPECT Foundation and will be going to London at the end of July for a work shop.

Little did I know in 1984, when I was working on those TRS-80 computers learning BASIC, that high-tech would end up being such a big part of my life. My significant other, Eric, is a software developer and my work with a high-tech PR agency keeps me in tune with all things technology. Downtime is spent sailing, biking, camping, hiking and travelling with our friends and families. We'll be in Ireland this summer so likely won't make the reunion.

I left the Harbor November 1, 1996... moved to Florida and absolutely love living in the South!

The food here is soooo fantastic! The seafood and cajun dishes are the best. And the beaches here are the best you could ever find. Since living down here I have worked mostly for Finance companies. Currently with CitiFinancial (they just bought out my old employer Washington Mutual Finance) I have nearly 5 years with them.

I won't be officially married until July 17, 2004.. but Noel and I have been together since our daughter came along in 2002.

I moved to Cosmopolis with my husband Scott of 13 years. After leaving Penney's I worked at the Daily World until my son Daniel was born. I took a few years off to be Mom, den mother, PTSO and all the other kid stuff. When Daniel started Kindergarten I took a job at the school where the boys attend. Works great for vacations! I love working with all the kids at the school.

I worked several years in law enforcement. The issues I saw in dealing with people there encouraged me to go into social work. I really enojoy work that can help people to find solutions and hope. I recorded a CD of my own songs in 1998 that people in Oly have been listening to and liking. (No, I'm not big in Europe.) I do still love music.

I have traveled to Europe and love seeing new places. Maybe our 30th reunion could be held in Cabo San Lucas......God bless everyone of you!

GHC AA degree in carpentry and a certificate in cabinet making.

After high school, I partied my way out of college and went to work at Mayr Bros. Sawmill until they shut down. After that I went back to college and got retrained in carpentry which is what I am doing today.

I have been married to my wife, Jessie, for almost 15 years and we have one son, Jeff who is almost 14 yrs. old. He is going into high school as a freshman this year. It doesn't seem possible. He is 6'2" and weighs 185 lbs. Yes, he and I see eye to eye.

When we are not working or at the baseball field we do alot of camping all over western Washington.

Was hoping to see you all at the reunion, but unfortunately we are going to be out of town during that period. Please keep in touch via the internet.

Mike, 17

When I'm not commuting, or evading inner city gang members and crack ho's, I'm going further into debt feeding the youngster's motocross racing habit. Fun watching the kids fly through the air...not so fun when they land upside down. Washougal MX race is on reunion weekend so I'm kind of stuck...

8 yrs Marine

I've worked in the Admissions and Records Office for the last 10 years. Before Grays Harbor College, I worked as an Administrative Assistant at St. Martin's College for 6 years. I get to work with lots of different types of people which is something I love. Imagine me a people person! You name an issue and I've probably dealt with it since highschool. They say experiences are what make us who we are, so I can't complain I lived through the last 20 years. I didn't experience much success in the relationship department until recently. I have an incredible boyfriend and am glad I didn't settle along the way. We're starting the process of building a new home and are excited for the next steps in life. Can't wait to see everyone.

Been working with the same company since 2 weeks after we all graduated. Lived in Monroe for 6 yrs. and I am in Seattle now for last year.

Gosh - How do you sum up 20 years of experiences... I have been fortunate enough to have lots of great experiences...here are some highlights -
- lived in Bellingham for 8 years (loved it)
- made several trips to California and Disneyland (one of my favorite places)
- traveled to New Zealand and saw both the north & south islands in January of 1999
- worked teaching horsemanship in the Christian Camping field for 14 years (my dream job)
- married in May of 2000 to my wonderful husband Brian!
- took a trip to Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, and Gillette, Wyoming with my husband's family who are quite outdoorsy and shot my first big game - an antelope with one shot.
- Walked 60 miles in 3 days - from Enumclaw to Seattle - to raise money for Breast Cancer in August of 2002
- took a vacation to the Big Island in Hawaii in May of 2003 - got to swim with dolphins and my husband caught 2 blue marlin! Great trip!
- Now live in the Stanwood/Marysville area, own our home, involved in our church, and loving married life
- Birth of our son just this year (March 2004) - Wyatt Thomas - What a sweet joy!

Geographically speaking, I have come full circle since graduating from high school: after starting college at Western Washington University, I transfered to the University of Chicago, then went on to graduate school on the east coast, in Princeton, New Jersey, lived in Boston for a year, then Philadelphia for two years, then off to Mexico City for four years, and from Mexico to California for a few years, and finally returned to Washington, where I now live with my husband, Gustavo, in Olympia.

After high school, I aspired to an academic career as an anthropologist, but finally abandoned that after a four year stay in Mexico City, where I worked as a Math and English teacher while trying to carry out research for my dissertation project on the history of Mexican anthropology. Although it was hard to give up on an academic career, I came away from Mexico with a great consolation prize: my husband, Gustavo, who is from Cuernavaca, Morelos. After living in Silicon Valley for a few years where he took his turn at graduate school while I worked as a corporate paralegal, we moved back to Washington and now live in Olympia. Gustavo works for the Department of Labor and Industries. I eventually went back to school too, and am now three classes shy of a law degree at Seattle University. I have worked for the Attorney General's Office, in the Divisions of Fish & Wildlife and Torts, and will clerk for Judge Houghton of the Court of Appeals in Tacoma after graduation. Even though my favor activity in high school was Speech and Debate with Mr. Carter, I never considered becoming a lawyer, but I find that I like the law much more than I ever thought I would: it is very satisfying to do work that is not only intellectually challenging but also has an actual impact on people's lives. The latter ingredient is often missing for an academic but never for a lawyer, because all legal controversies are grounded in a real world dispute.

I am happily married to Jim for 18 years now. I choose to stay home to raise and home school our four great kids. I run a small family farm with a few chickens, and goats which we milk and make cheese and yogurts. Life is good!

Seattle Central Community College

After high school was drafted by the Kansas City Royals and spent 4 years riding around the country on a bus. Lived in Sarasota, Fla., Eugene, Ore., Ft. Myers, Fla. and Appleton, Wis. Had shoulder surgery and a divorce in '87.

1989 met my wife Angela. We have been married for 9 years in June. I feel very fortunate to have 2 wonderful children and the experiences I have had since high school. Would like to see some of my old friends. Will miss not seeing K. Decker, God rest his soul. We would see each other at different softball tourneys.

Went to WSU. Hired by Boise Cascade right out of College to Denver, CO. Then to Salem, OR as sales representative, then to Spokane, WA as a General Manager and then to Walla Walla, WA as an assistant General Manager. Married for 12 years to my wife Kim. She is a Speech Pathologist.

My family has had some really rough times, in '97 my younger brother was killed in a car crash with his wife and her twin sister and her fiance' in Puyallup. Life definitely has not been the same for me and for sure not for my parents. It was very devastating and long court battles followed.....Trying to recoup from something like that isn't easy. I am closer to my parents now, that's for sure, that is a positive thing from it. In my spare time I like rubberstamping and shopping. And I love my animals (and my husband too,we have been married for 17 years) he he. I love margaritas!!!! We like taking short trips to the beach (just went to the seafood and wine festival in Astoria, OR) and Bend, OR.

Our family currently resides in Federal Way, WA. For the past fifteen years I have been in the commercial aviation industry (buying/selling Boeing and Airbus aircraft parts). Sorry I missed the ten year reunion but am looking forward to the 20th.

Tim and I have been married for 9 yrs and we don't get out much. Tim was laid-off from Boeing 2 yrs ago, which took me from my "stay at home mom" job & thrust me into administrative work. Tim is studying to be a nurse and has 1 1/2 yrs to go. Sophie & Gabe are wonderfully challenging!

Yes, I was there, doing the Puyallup, when Gerardo sang, "Rico, Suave!" the first time. It was totally awesome. I would also like to publically thank the man responsible for getting me the Playboy channel for free during my high school years. You know who you are, and man, I love you. Finally, I'm not sure when or where, but I know Jupey still owes me $10.

Wow, can't believe it's been 20 years, okay, maybe if feels a little like 20 years...hahah. I have been married now to my husband Ron for 14 years and we have 3 kids. We lived in Aberdeen, Hoquiam and Elma before moving to Dallas, Oregon about 2.5 years ago. My husband travels quite a bit with his job, so after moving to Oregon I decided to take a break from work to be a stay at home mom. I volunteer in the classroom and I do work at home as an ebay consigner. I am having too much fun to go back to a real job, at least for now. I really like having a flexible schedule so that I can be with kids as much as possible. They are at such a fun age! When we are not working, we like to scuba dive and we do a lot of camping. I think about everyone so often, it will be nice to see you all!

I've lived in Bellingham since 1986 when moved to go to college at Western & never left. I really do enjoy the area, but miss many of my old high school buddies.

I got married in 1996 to a local Bellingham boy, after dating for 6 years.

Our daugther, Haley, was born on New's Year Eve 1999, & has definitly changed our lives.

She is a little girly, girl who loves to dance & sing & her favorite color is pink. She is quite my opposite, so I'm learning all about girly things that I didn't care about a few short years ago.

I am really looking forward to seeing the '84 Bobcats in July!

I got married in March of '85, we just celebrated our 19th anniversary. We had 2 kids and we adopted 2 more. We have been foster parents for nearly 10 years. We've fostered probably 50 kids or more. We've never left the Harbor, I guess I'm a lifer.

I live in Seattle with my husband and two kids. I am a stay at home mom and enjoy all the fun that goes with it. We keep busy with the kids activities and try to enjoy the area. It is hard to believe it has been twenty years since we graduated. I am looking forward to the reunion and seeing everyone again.

I Graduated from the University of Washington in 1989 and decided to stay in the Seattle area. I worked for Nordstrom's (Men's Sportswear) and than the Washington Athletic Club (Men's Conditioning) for around four years and now, find myself at Dalys since the summer of 1996. My brother and sisters also live in Seatte and I enjoy seeing them and playing UNCLE to my seven nieces and nephews. Husky football and basketball, as well as, mariner baseball are other fun diversions I like to attend.

I am currently living in Olympia. I am Nanny to Dawn Foster's angels, ages 1 1/2, 3 and 5. They keep me running. I am also working part-time as an adoption coordinator which has been quite fascinating. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Reunion.

Met my wonderful husband of almost 15 years at PLU. We've been blessed with a beautiful daughter 21 months ago.She is the light of our lives. We are looking forward to showing her the world. I'm working in Portland in private practice with another female physician and look forward to growing old with my patients.

I have been married to my beautiful wife for 14 years-we have two wonderful children that are our life. We like to travel and spend our time with family and friends.

I create comics and even taught cartooning at a private high school in Seattle for awhile (the toughest job I ever had!). My other interests include activism and indie culture (music, art, animation & film). I enjoy working on my 'modern' 1950s home, but it's a never ending project.

I have lived in Seattle since graduating from college except for a brief one year excursion in Chicago in the mid 90s (interesting city but here I learned that I am a weather wimp, it always seemed to be too hot (and HUMID) or too COLD!).

I married my partner of 11 years in Portland on March 18, 2004 (thanks Multnomah County!!).

I am married to my soulmate, Bob Wardlow. (even if he is a 77 Grizzly) We have 2 springer spaniels, Rufus and Ginger, who are not dogs, but furry babies...totally spoiled.

Well, after gradutating HS I went to AZ to attend a drafting school. After about a year and a half I was back home and getting no where, so I joined the Air Force with plans to finish my education. Well that didn't quite goes as I planned being on a night shift. About six months later I was married and fifteen months later I gave birth to my first daughter, 2 1/2 years later my second daughter was born. The marriage lasted about 7 years, divorced and moved on. I remarried in 2001 and now have three more daughters; 3 and two that are 16 mns. I am currently living in ND and for the first time in my life experienced a blizzard, severe thunderstorms and tornados. I can't wait to get back out west.

Past 19 years in Southern California. I worked in accounting for various companies since graduating. Married Bruce in August 1991. Had Katie November 1996 been a stay at home mom for the past 7 years, (the best job ever)!!!! I do help out with our company while my daughters in school now. I am looking forward to seeing everyone this summer!

Have lived in Cosmopolis since 1989 and worked at the Hong Kong, (The best chinese food on the harbor), since 1990. Getting married this August Friday the 13th.

Wow. A lot has changed since the last reunion! Shortly after our reunion in 1994, I found myself the single parent of a tiny baby and living in Issaquah, WA. Going through divorce is never easy, but I was surrounded by loving family and friends. I made it through by the grace of God and in a complete "Sleepless in Seattle" moment, met my husband (and best friend) Gary on the Internet! Soon we were flying back and forth between Seattle and San Antonio where he was working for the Spurs (our love of basketball and sports naturally drew us together!). It wasn't long before I decided to pack up my life and move to Texas and I've been here ever since. We got married in 1996 and have an additional 2 children together. We keep busy as a family enjoying the warm weather in the pool, at the lake, jet skiing, BBQ'ing, and of course, watching the Spurs!. Alexa loves basketball (Gary coaches her team the Silver Stars), horses (she spends every Saturday at the "ranch"), and writing books. Joshua adds something special in his own way to our family because he is deaf. He has a cochlear implant, so he is truly our bionic boy! We really don't think of him as being different because he is so normal in every other way....of course he loves basketball! KelliAnn, our youngest, is our little princess and lights up any room she is in. They are all a total blessing in their own ways. We are also active in our church in the Children's Ministry and singing at services. I am looking forward to seeing all of you this summer - I can't wait to make the 2450 mile trip!

I met Tim a few months after graduation and we have been together ever since. Married for 16 of the years. Our children are the biggest and best part of our lives. Zack is awesome at every sport but his favorite is motorcycle racing! (Scary isn't it) Emilee loves girl stuff, but is also somewhat of a tomboy. They keep us very busy. We also have 2 cats, a dog, and about 11 bunnies. After college I started working at Durney Insurance in Hoquiam. After 7 yrs there I went to Dave Johnson Insurance where I have been for the past 10 yrs. I am a supervisor of my department and enjoy my job. My husband Tim is a Captain at the Hoquiam Fire Department where he is also a paramedic. Two years ago we purchased our dream home on Lund Road in the North River area. We have about 6 1/2 acres at the end of the road on the river. It is heaven. I am very excited to see everyone this summer.

In September of 2002 I was laid off from the job that I had held close to 10 years. While initially it was a bit hard to absorb, I decided that I would turn a negative into a positive. I was extremely fortunate to have taken almost the entire year of 2003 off. I found out how much I love being at home. We live here in Poulsbo on 4 acres, with our 2 dogs, 2 goats and chickens. So needless to say there is always something for me to do (can you say yardwork!!!) I am working part-time for the same employer but from home as an Editor and Clinician and I enjoy the flexibility it provides. You can beat those mornings when you can work in your pajama

Dave, my husband, is a Sales Rep for Young's Columbia. He is the on-premise (restaurants only) Wine Salesman for Kitsap County/Bainbridge Island. Which means we get to drink a lot of really great wines.

Can't wait to see everyone at the reunion!

Since I last saw all of you I got married in October 1996, to Toney Ruffin. He moved here from Virginia and we met through a mutual friend. We have been married almost 8 years, together 10, and have a beautiful daughter, Karlee. She turns 5 in April and will start kindergarten in the fall. Time sure does go by fast once we are over 30 and two years from 40. My gosh when we were all in high school that age sounded so ancient and now, well it is not. My family and I reside in Puyallup and have for the past 5 years, we very much enjoy living there. We have three cats, Ebony, Ivory and Tiger. Oh and three fish which are Karlee's but somehow I take care of them, go figure.

I still see many of my friends from high shcool and we just all got together at Dawn Kero (used to be Foster) during the holidays. The friendships I formed in school have and still are very important to me. One can never have too many friends.

My husband is empoloyeed at Fred Meyer Distribution Center as a fork lift operator and he has been there almost 6 years.

Our hobbies include recreational time at the YMCA (where our daughter takes Tai Kwon Do and swimming lessons), my husband just bought a motorcycle which scares me to death everytime he goes for a ride (men and their toys!!!). We enjoy much time with our immediate family and friends.

I look forward to seeing so many of you that I have not seen in ten years and hope this time has been good for you all.

Well...Bob & I will celebrate our 15th anniversary in August. I lived in Ocean Shores for 10 years before moving out here in the beautiful Wynoochee Valley! We've lived here for 6 1/2 years and my kids have become Bulldogs! I have to pretend that I'm a Bulldog when at work! We love to travel & camp as often as we can in the summer. During the school year we keep pretty busy with the kids in sports, dancing, and singing. I try to keep up with scrapbooking, but life goes by faster than I can keep up with! Am looking forward to seeing everyone at our 20th!!!

I have been living in the Seattle area since college and have been married 10 years. I have a 5 year old daughter and boy/girl twins that are 2 1/2. I have been working at Microsoft since 1992 and am now working part-time so I can spend a bit more time at home with the kids. It's hard to believe it has been 20 years already! I'm looking forward to catching up with everybody at the reunion.

Eric, age 6
Anna, age 3

I married another bobcat (Tiger Hagen, class of 1980 - he's much older) and we are living in Aberdeen. We love it. We have two kids and really like raising them on the Harbor. My oldest started Kindergarten this year and attends the same grade school I did - a little weird. Can't wait to see all of you - hope you can make it back to town for the reunion.

Steve and I have been married 13 years. We have two beautiful boys who keep us busy and very entertained. Aberdeen is still home- we wouldn't trade it for the world. Can't wait to see you all.
I was hoping we could get Flock of Seagulls to play at the reunion.

Brooke, 19
Taylar,7

Moved to Ellensburg two months after graduation ,partied for a decade,met Tammy got married, had kids. Kind of boring huh. I wouldn't change a thing................

Lived/worked in Japan for 8 years on Study-Abroad programs. Had a great time and learned a lot, but came back looking to put down some roots. Looked up my old friend Tim and...boy am I glad I did! I couldn't be happier! Advice for future generations...marry your best friend. And now we are parents! What a blessing.

I married my husband in 1988 and we have been lucky enough to travel the world while he enjoys his military career in medicine. Currently we are living in Virginia, but that will change again in January (Chicago bound). We have enjoyed seeing different countries, but we always try to spend a few weeks each year in Ocean Shores.

At our last reunion I was engaged and this reunion I will have been married for 9 years to my husband Mark. We are fortunate to have two great boys who keep us very busy. I really enjoy being part of their activities and will watch my oldest head off to kindergarten this fall. Before children I had a 13-year career at Boeing in Seattle. My most recent position was as Senior Manager of Global Total Reward Programs (a fancy way to describe my role in developing strategies and policies for paying and providing benefits to international hires). My job moved to Chicago in 2001 when Boeing moved its headquarters. While the offer to relocate was tempting, Mark and I decided the Northwest was where we wanted to live. Conveniently, my youngest son was born the same month Boeing left the Puget Sound. It made for a handy transition to stay-at-home motherhood. It was the best decision I've ever made. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion.

Gordon and I have been married for 12 years. It has been great raising Tanner here on the Harbor. At 4, he is already telling his friends he is going to grow up and play drums for the Bobcats. I am constantly getting out voted by Gordo and Tanner on vacation/activites choices. It looks like I will be spending more time in sleeping bags than I would like.

Bio/History:

I was never very good at biology or history.

Since our 10 year class reunion, my husband and I have been busy raising our family. I love being part of my children's daily activities and being home with our youngest. I am totally enjoying her, knowing that she will be our last child. I feel very lucky to be able to work only part-time. I have the best of both worlds ... being active with my children, yet having professional growth time for mommy, as well! I work two days a week, teaching 3/4/5 year olds. It can certainly be hectic teaching this age, but it keeps me young. Afterall, we're quickly approaching 40, aren't we?!

After graduation, I got married and had Christopher. Found out that I could get rid of the marriage but not the kid (so I kept him)!! Ted (AHS class of 1983) and I met in December 1989 and I still haven't figured out how to get rid of him!! Ha Ha Ha

We live in Hoquiam and have been there for too many years to count but enjoy being close to home.

Christopher is a senior at Hoquiam and will be heading to Phoenix AZ in October for Technical School in Auto Mechanics, the house will be empty without him. I'm sure that Ted and Buster will keep me busy, but will be making as many trips to AZ as I can.

I can't wait for the reunion to see everyone and catch up on old times.

After Western (lots of plays, some touring, two Summer Stock seasons) I worked for Tears of Joy Puppet Theater, which is based in the Portland, Oregon area. I learned puppetry and traveled for three years, performing in schools and community centers in the U. S. and Japan. I fell for a co-worker and we moved to Seattle to balance our lives a little: 3 shows a day, 5 days a week- we needed a break. We still do puppet shows, but not quite as many. I also make fancy chocolates for a local artisan chocolate company. Work out at a boxing gym (I teach there, too.) Dig in the garden. See lots of plays and live music. Hang out with our families.

After graduation went to EWU, but because of life's scheduling conflicts had to return to the area. Attended GHC wasn't my thing so I went to work for the ol' P.O. Carried mail for 10 years at Aberdeen. Took a test to manage for Post Office went to an interview and then next thing you know I had been working between Seattle and Olympia for 4 years as a manager. Got a divorce, so I kept my prioties straight (which we all know is difficult sometimes), and returned to the area to raise my children. I am now the Customer Services Supervisor at Aberdeen ( complaint department for those not into titles)and have been with my Girlfriend Jacque for the last 2 years and life is the best it has ever been for me. Any day above ground is a good day. Look forward to seeing you all. But I have to ask, has anyone else gone to the website and thought "Wow that guy/girl graduated with me?" I have, maybe life has been too much fun.

I've lived in Seattle since graduating from UW in '88. I went to work for KeyBank straight out of college and was there for nine years in various capacities, ending up as regional credit support manager for the Northwest and Rocky Mountain regions.

From there, I went to work in '97 for a small consulting firm based out of Boston and spent the next three years working and traveling all across the country. It was a blast for the first couple of years, but the life of a road warrior wears one down. I eventually reached a point where I was ready to trade living in hotels, corporate apartments, airports and airplanes for the chance to spend more than a weekend at a time at my home in Seattle.

In '00 I joined Washington Mutual as an Assistant Vice President and became reacquainted with the joys of actually going home each day after work and commuting 20 minutes, rather than 8-10 hours, each way. This has given me time to pursue other interests, including horticulture and community volunteer work, which I've combined in attaining my Master Gardener certification last year. The rest of my time is occupied with things like snowboarding, hiking, bicycling and looking for just the right property to build a vacation/retirement home on one of the islands. It's funny how your priorities change over 20 years, isn't it?

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and catching up!

The last twenty years have flown by, and I can't wait to catch up with people this summer. I still keep in touch with many of our classmates, but not nearly as well as I'd like.

I've lived in Seattle since high school and really enjoy all the city has to offer (especially since my commute does not involve a freeway). My wife and I are busy sharpening our parenting skills and trying to stay one step ahead of the kids, which seems like a never-ending assignment.

I worked for the military, directed camps in Korea, Kuwait, Germany, and Panama, taught environmental education, and was the Athletic Director at a small New England college, before returning to the northwest both for the job at Evergreen, and for the amazing woman that I met and married.

Hi Everyone!!
I'm so bummed that I'm missing the reunion!!! I would love to see you all! I am heading off to Greece for the summer.

Over the last 10 years, I have taught elementary school, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. :-)

During the last several summers, I've gone on many mission trips with my church to Africa, Honduras, Mexico City, and Greece. (Here I go again!)

I spend my extra time hiking, playing volleyball, racquetball, and of course...chatting with friends at Starbucks.

I hope you all have a great time!

I moved to Seattle immediately after High School, then to Arizona, then to Oregon-I spent two seasons in Dutch Harbor Alaska working the crab lines with Sammie Jones-then two summers with a southeast Alaskan sport fishing lodge before getting married and settling down to a life of domestic bliss...I spend most of my free time trying on my old size 10 pants and woeing the fact that the only splits I can do now are down the seams of my pants...stretch fabric rules!!!

After college, worked in Seattle in the family business until 87. Have lived in Olympia since 92 my daughter came along in 95 and Landscaping allows me to spend most days after school and alternating weekends with her. Enjoy the Mariners when they are winning, the sun when its out and weights when they are heavy.

I left Aberdeen, and did alot of traveling, lived in many differant places, Annapolis Maryland, Allentown Pa, Bellingham Wa, and many more cities. I joined the Navy from Olympia Wa, in 1990;I spent 10 years in the Navy. I lived in San Diego for five years I served on Two Air Craft Carriers the USS Ranger and the USS Kitty Hawk, Then I was transferred to Albuquerque, NM, for three years with the Defense Special Weapons Agency. Then went to a NATO command and was stationed in Naples, Italy. got to see Romania, Albania, Serbia and many other Eastern and Western European Countries. I then Left the Service and spent three years in Southern Spain (I did learn Spanish there) as a Director of a small family Hotel. I moved back to the U.S in July of 2003. I am now earning my degree in Computer Information Systems or I may change to Biomedical field depends on job market.

Witness Protection Program. It's all very hush-hush.

Life has been very good the last 20 years. I have been married for over 10 years to a wonderful wife and we have 2 children. Our youngest was born very early weighing 1lb 5oz. and as such has put us through the ringer with his health issues. My AHS baseball jersey hangs in his room --number 1 5 so I am constantly reminded of days of old. We designed and built a house just outside of Bellingham last year and this so I have fulfilled a life-long ambition starting back in Mr. Tometich's classes. I look forward to seeing everyone this summer.

The best part of my life are my two wonderful children. They are so smart and so cool - I have been saying for about the past six months that I want everyone to meet Tim because he is the coolest kid you can imagine. He is also so smart, almost scary smart but fun loving to the core. Zoe is also fabulous, sweet and helpful. Two years ago our family made the big move from Kent to Gig Harbor. We have a house with lots of potential (read needs work) but right on Puget Sound. There is almost nothing better then to be able to eat breakfast and watch the seals playing outside your window or walk down the stairs for a swim. I have become a huge running fanatic and recently a yoga junkie. I love to run and have met many good friends via a running club. I also enjoy backpacking, scuba diving and hanging with the kids. Still married to Tom Pollard, 14 years.
