• Message: I am the VERY proud mother of 3 wonderful children: Ryan who will be 20 next month; Michelle, 16 and Robert, 9. I am very fortunate to have been blessed with each one. Ryan has been on his own now for a couple of years now and holds down 2 jobs. He has worked his butt off to invest lots of money into his prized possession, his truck which he made into a pre-runner. Ryan and his girlfriend just celebrated their 1 year "anniversary" together, and I was able to meet her when he brought her out to visit last year. She is a beautiful, sweet girl and they seem made for each other. Michelle will be starting 11th grade and works part-time as a hostess at a local restaurant. She has been involved in dance for several years now and just recently took a short break. Robert has done extremely well in school and has maintained Honor Roll status for 2 years. He is involved in scouts and has a new favorite past time-skateboarding. I live in Victoria, Texas and am employed at the Juvenile Detention Center as a Correctional Officer. Moving to Texas after living in California for 35 years was quite a big change! A little slower paced here, but the people are so nice and the cost of living is much better here. I do miss California a lot though, especially during the summertime! It is awful here from June-September...I hope everyone is doing great and miss the "skillets" Dawn, Linda, Linda, Justy, Willy, Neil, Steve...

• Occupation: Pilot
• Message: Hey all, here's a somewhat familiar face (name?) emerging from the shadows. Hope everyone is well. Been in CA the entire time since graduating HS except for two years spent in TX 84-86. Went to UC Davis with thoughts of becoming a veterinarian, but became a Veterinary Histology Lab supervisor instead. While working there, met and married my wife Sarah back in 2001. We have a pistol of a 15 month old son named Max (yes, I know I'm old enough to be his grandpa....but he's keeping me young and energetic). Back in 2001 (a banner year for change in my life) I also decided on a career change and made the decision to pursue a life-long dream of being an airline pilot. Kind of a crazy, impulsive decision given the timing (9/11) and the general unpredictability of the industry, but things are going very well. Would love to hear from any of you who remember the quiet dude with the crazy last name. Take care.

• Message: After being out of high school for 22 years, I figured it was time to turn back the clock and see what I could find out about the class of 83. Looks like everyone that registered is doing great. Wonder about some of the others? I now live just outside of New Orleans, across the lake for those who have been here, after spending eight years in Atlanta and 12 in Los Angeles. I have been married to Leanne for 14 wonderful years and have two rugrats Zach (5) and Devin(2). I'd like to think they keep me young, but time is catching up. In my spare time I make furniture and cheer for the Lakers.
