«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 241 Newer› Newest»I've lived in the Minneapolis area for about 8 years now. Married Minnesotan Duane Paulson in 2000. What can I say? It took me 35 years to find someone who didn't mind my inability to cook, clean, and dress like a lady.
Duane has two awesome kids -- Nick, a senior at Univ. of Minnesota majoring in biochem; and Maggie, a senior in high school.
After Churchill ... University of Michigan (econ), Univ. of Texas (MBA), Wheel of Fortune (won the bonus round), Ultimate Frisbee (a few national and world championships), and 12 years in the Boston area with EH Publishing.
EH is a publishing company focused on "smart home" technology. I co-founded that in 1994 and spend a lot of time writing and pretending to understand the stuff I write about.
Some of our publications/events:

Looking forward to meeting up with you guys in June.
I'm at juliejacobson@comcast.net
Julie, I just heard about the reunion today from Dave Cocke. Glad to see there's interest in getting together. I hope you're enjoying that Minnesota winter. It's not much better here in Denver.
Congrats on the hubby and kids! I got two kids the old-fashioned way. Hopefully I'll see you in SA for the reunion. I need to make sure my social calendar isn't booked that weekend!
I'm at davidkriese@yahoo.com.
Moved back to San Antonio in 1998 and married in 1999. I have two boys, ages 7 and 4 and they are more than enough.
My wife Cheryl grew up on Cape Cod and has primarily lived on the East Coast and Midwest before we met in Houston in 1997.
I did my undergrad at St. Mary's and have been traveling ever since with my career. I am currently in management with a chemical manufacturer and been in the industry for about 15 years.
Still see a good number of our class being in SA and even with my travels, I get to have mini-reunions fairly regularly.
Just last month, I had lunch in Dallas with Mike Martin, Kenny Linton and Dwayne Baker. All are doing well and seem to be looking forward to the 25th.
Thanks for putting this together Julie! Hopefully, this will help generate more interest in the 25th.
Okay -- here is the "skinny" on me....I still look the same...tall, skinny and dorky but have added a nice beer gut to compliment the rest of my body. I was fortunate and after years of "playing the field" I married up to a beautiful woman both inside and out. I have 2 fabulous children -- a daughter who turns 10 in July and a son who turns 7 in April.
Out of school I obtained my CPA but gave up accounting in 1990 to go into sales. I currently work for a money management firm out of California and raise capital for their management.
I stay active by running, biking and playing tennis. I currently captain a USTA tennis team that won City Championship Fall of 2007. Turns out, I ran into Kenny Linton up here in the Dallas area and he plays for my team as well.
I also stay in contact with Brent Yarbrough who also lives in Dallas. I have recetnly connected with Mike Martin and Robert Garza who also live up here. In San Antonio I stay in touch with Kevin Gallivan and Robert Stocker. Robert is kind to me and always takes me out for dinner or drinks when traveling through Dallas on his job.
I decided to take charge of coordinating a 25th reunion, as I was highly dissappointed in the turnout for our 20th. I realized cost was a factor for some, and the reunion committee that was hired added little value. I decided we could do this on our own, keep the costs down, and hopefully increase overall participation.
For those who might be wavering whether or not to come ---get over it and come !!! We don't care if you gained weight, lost hair, turned gray, etc., etc. It is a blessing to be alive and enjoy the friendships you have in life. I had so much fun at our 10 year visitng with everone. There was no longer the high school "social barriers" (jocks, socials, roaches, kickers, brains, etc.) and it was a blast just visiting with everyone you had known.
I encourage you all to come, kick back, drink a margy or three, have fun, catch up on old acquaintences, and make new friendships. Don't miss out on a priceless time.
Can't wait to see you all in June!!!

Hi all! Julie (reeves) Campbell here. Married 8 1/2 years to a great guy, Drew who always makes me laugh. Have 3 crazy healthy children Andrew 5, Lachlan 3 1/2 and Evie 1 1/2. Life is pretty kooky here most of the time. We live in Maplewood NJ about 45 mins. from NYC.
Prior to my life as a mom and after WC-Holy Cross (BA) in Worcester, MA; then San Diego, Chicago, Seattle-pursuing the acting life; UW- Seattle (MFA in Acting), then to the NYC area in Hoboken, NJ where I met my hubby. Started a theater company in NYC (spoontheater.org), some indie film, teeny soap stuff and voiceovers. Left the NYC area after watching one of the planes come down the river and hit the Trade Center on 9/11. Still haunting.
Also a personal trainer and Yoga teacher--parenting is the most intense form of yoga one will ever do--And my most recent acting jobs are giving dialects to the farm animals in my kids books.
I am so thrilled to be coming to the 25th--cannot wait to reconnect with so many and have some Texas food--I have so many wonderful memories. Lets share some laughs--God knows we all need as much of that as we can get.
Give me a jingle at campbellsfive@verizon.net.

Hey, ST88 ... could you be a little more specific? A name, perhaps? Thanks
Scott Watson, In the Dallas Area selling Residential Real Estate along with my lovely wife Tammy since 1995. Have 2 kids ages 11 & 9. Currently live in the Town of Prosper, Tx.
Look forward to seeing everyone in SA.!
Hey Julie, do you have to be an ambulance chaser to get any love around here???
XOXO
Mike
All right- Scannapeico and Cliff's pictures make them look like middle aged men. Sean Page looks like my dad.
People keep telling me that I still look like Brad Pitt in Fight Club.
Don Crook looks a little like Edward Norton in fight club...same scrawniness.
Sorry Julie...I am bad at the internet. ST = Robert Stocker
Wow, I live in Georgia for now and just hit the 20 year point in the Air Force. My daughter Brody lives in Austin and graduates this year. My oldest son Baylen just signed a letter of intent yesterday with West Texas A&M, and my youngest Bevin is a Junior at Boerne High. Lived around the world the last 20 years and just finished my 6th tour of duty in Iraq last year. Can't wait to see everyone this summer.
By the way, the mystery poster above is Charlie Smith....
Charlie, God bless you for serving!!
BTW, what sport is your son going to play at W Tex A&M?
He's playing soccer, he turned down Nothwestern to be by his girlfriend. Just killin me! But at least he is going to school and loves what he does.
Spent 5 years in the Navy after HS. Met and married my husband of almost 22 yrs. in Japan. Have 2 sons, Shane, the oldest will be 21 in May and 3 yrs. in the Air Force. Nick will be 13 in April and in 7th grade. Moved to Michigan 15 yrs. ago from Corpus. Miss the warmth of Texas!!!
oh forgot, I'm Beth Malloy
Beth, you sat next to me is Freshman History. Geeez, Michigan? By Great Mistakes?
Well, kind of.....my husband Dave is from Michigan, so when he was able to come back here, we came. Hate the winters but the rest ok.

I saw Kerri Rosenstein at A&M a few times...but not since.
Eva Smith, I never did thank you and Robbie for carrying me up my driveway and depositing me at home. I was grounded for a month!
Has anyone seen Gallivan lately? That dude was huge last time I saw him!!! Like 6'5 230-240-ish. Looked like a brick wall.
I hear Wally is a big time SWAT guy!
Charlie Ivy was a Fire Chief (Captain??) last I heard from my folks.
Huggy, how my Chargers gonna be this season. We're expecting big things!

Where's my life long crush Julie Goddard?? And my prom date Melissa Flieller??
Marcus Bustamante was scared of me in high school and he still is! So was Draeger!
Bob Bull...we need your wit and wisdom on this blog!
My 13 year old son is bigger than Don Crook. Just FYI.
That's all for now.
Mike:
Not to be to lawyerly about it, but your second post breaks the first two rules.
I'll see Breeze on Saturday, and give you all the scoop later. Email me at csimpson@outsourcegc.com.
(Of course I'll be there in June.)
Cliff,
You said you'd say that.
Tyler
Mike - I talked to Bob Bull over the Holidays. I will give him a call to tell him about the BLOG. di_ebert@sbcglobal.net
The last reunion i made was the 10 year. Since then my wife (of 18 years) and I moved from Austin to East Texas to be closer to her family. I own a production company, and my work has shifted from motion pictures to underwater television and video. My specialty is in deep technical diving exploration and expeditions. If you watch Discovery's Military Channel, you may have seen me and my work on a show called "Quest For Sunken Warships." What a blast that show was to make!!
I love my work, but my passion is with horses. Lori and I have a small herd of 8 horses that live with us and allow us to ride and play with them almost every day.
To follow my work, see pics of our horses, or contact me go to any of these sites:

I may have to be on the Outer Banks of NC in June, but I'm going to do everything i can to make the reunion! David
DavidUlloa@valeofilms.com
After graduating from A&M I had a decade long career in porn, both in front of and behind the camera (where , as you probably know, I was hailed by Ron Jeremy as an innovator; and Rolling Stone said “Mike Martin has brought 70’s quality back to the porn industry”) I wasn't just in it for the money however, with most of my films I tried to bring an acute awareness of the harsh realities of suburban life for the well endowed young starlet. Overall I either starred in or produced over 750 films (we call them films), complete with titles such as Obedient Slaves of the Wild West (#1 & 2), Agony of Love, Lace & Lash, Tokyo Dreams #7 and my own personal favorite, one that I wrote while thinking of Don Crook, Wee Willy's Winky.
After a decade in the limelight, I decided that it was time to settle down and get married. I married a great girl from Dallas...please don't bring up the porn stuff with her. She likes to act like it never happened.
I have been in the call center industry for 15 years or so. I run a brokerage comapny that has products that help call centers run more efficiently.
Sandra and the kids are great. Most of my sores stay in remission, so we are pretty happy. I make it to the occasional convention, but it’s just not like the old days. Now everyone is popping Cialus and Viagra all the time and the integrity of the work has suffered. I’m sorry, I’m venting. This is supposed to be a happy time!
I have 2 kids, a 13 year old boy, who beat Steve Oines in arm wrestling last time we were together, and an 11 year old daughter who is brilliant and very creative (I'm not sure if I'm really the father)
Let's get this blog going! I'm dying to know what everyone has beenn up to.
Hello fellow Chargers! This is Eva Smith trying to recover from the laughing fit I fell into after reading the blog entries! Mike Martin, I do indeed remember Robby and I droping you off on your door step. Oh my!
I'm here in the Dallas area working for a commerical real estate firm (Jones Lang LaSalle)similar to Dan Pollard. I haven't done a great job of staying in touch with high school friends (Judy I know you are rolling your eyes at me!).
After college, I moved to FL for work. The moves kept coming after that including NC, SC, OH and finally back to TX. I've been back in the Lone Star state for 6 years now.
My Dad (still in SAT) manages to send me information on everyone that makes the San Antonio paper. Seems the majority of my older brothers run into some of you as well since they give me a hard time on family email about not staying in touch with high school friends.
Julie and Julie, you both crack me up with your updates. Good for you both! Looking forward to seeing you all later this year.
Eva
Hey, Eva!! See you in S.A.
Wow what an impressive group of people. Just wanted to post a quick comment to say how much I'm looking forward to seeing everyone, although I must admit I don't think I knew many of the current posters personally. Hope we have a good turn out. After graduating, I had a succesfull career in printing for 20 years but now find myself owning General Contracting Business, specialinzing in commercial remodels and new construction, not even sure how I got into that just sort of happend overnight! I can't even hang a picture straight...I'm married to a wonderful guy and we have one daughter, a junior in high school and by the grace of god sems to love school much more than her mother did, or at least the scholastic part of it. I went to socialize, she does both. Anyway would love to hear from anyone who remembers me and again, looking forward to seeing everyone.
I live in Washington State with my wife (Lysa) of eleven years, and my two sons, Ezekiel and Luke.
After Chrurchill, I got my BS in Econ and JD in Law from University of Washington. I was a court clerk and then a public defender for seven years before deciding I was not that wild about law... I returned to Texas to get a masters in rehabilitation counseling at UTSW and a Psy.D. in clinical psych from Baylor. I am back at UW now as clinical faculty. I currently practice as a forensic psychologist and I supervise interns and post-docs at Western State Hospital.
The family is into the outdoors, where we enjoy hiking, climbing, skiing, sailing, and kayaking. Pics of our fun can be seen at www.pbase.com/jbogdan
Barry ... do you have a last name?
Hi Julie :-) Yes I have a last name...Ward. Technically I am not a "graduate" as I crashed my motorcycle and missed much of the eleventh grade and then left after the eleventh grade to attend Trinity University... but having been with the class from 6th grade at Eisenhower, I still kind of think of myself as class of 83... I hung out more with folks from the classes above and below us, so I am not sure any but my neighborhood friends like Karen Brumley would recognize the name...
Barry
Barry...woo hoo, it's you! My high school crush. See you in June.
Barry,
Those pictures of Italy are sweet! Why did the pretty red headed lady let you take so many pictures of her?? Were you stalking her??
Mike
Hi everyone. This is Anne White. It's so nice to hear about all of you.
After Churchill, I attended Trinity University in SA for a year (Barry, I remember it well. Had the greatest roommate in Stephanie Wissinger (what is she up to now?). I graduated from American University in DC, where I lived for 10 years. I actually had a couple of random encounters with some WC grads in DC - ran into Anna Hoffman and her mom at the Smithsonian, and Micah Wells at a restaurant. Jim Stedman ('80) and his wife lived there for a while, and Mary Ann Stutts spent a summer there, too.
I spent several years working at American, then in hospitality/resort management. I am now in the Human Resource Outsourcing field (what's that?? is the typical response - we work with global companies to build standard HR technology and processes across their organizations).
I live just outside of Jacksonville, Florida, with my two children, Eric (12) and Emily (10). We're not too far from Orlando, so if anyone plans a visit in the area, please let me know.
Unfortunately, I have not been very good at keeping in touch (as Helen (Lopez) Kiest will be the first to tell you, but I was in SA last March, and was able to join Helen for a night out with Doris, Carol, Diana, Rose and Gina, which was great fun.
Thanks very much to everyone who is a part of putting the reunion together, and Julie, thanks for setting up the blog.
Looking forward to June!
Wow...it is fun seeing everyone's info! This is Karen Brumley (Horan), and yes, Barry, I know you are remembered by more than the neighborhood gang.
Bill and I moved back to SA almost 4 years ago after a time in Houston and Dallas. It has been good being back and fun seeing Helen, Doris, Rose, etc every month. We will be moving to New Braunfels this summer after my youngest graduates high school...man I am getting old! My oldest is a freshman at Univ of Vermont. I will try to email Julie some updated pictures.
After HS I graduated from UNT and started teaching English and Dance in High School for 6 years then Middle school for 4 years. Then life changed a little and I worked for a church as Christian Educator. I started seminary at SMU a couple of years later and now I am the founding pastor of Gruene UMC just north of New Braunfels...this is the third church I have served. You can see some of what I do now at www.Grueneumc.org We are working on the website right now...so it might be a bit rough.
Now that your jaw is off the floor, it is really fun being a pastor and being a church planter is awesome. Not to mention I get to do really cool things like weddings for friends! (just ask Helen and Doris!)
OK, enough for now...I can't wait to see everyone in June.
Funny stuff Mike. It's great to see that age has not curved your wit.
I am meeting Benedict in Houston for drinks on June 26th. I am trying to get him to stay over for the reunion.
TK
Is that Kovacs???
I just got the message that our
class was having a 25 year reunion-
I havent seen most of my classmates
since I graduated, although, I did
keep up with Chuck Ivy, and yes, he
was a fire chief last I heard. Saw Greg Rodgers at my Dads funeral seven years ago, and he was
a firefighter as well. I am Lorrie
Eichholz (Matter) and I have been
married for almost 25 years to Larry, who farms and ranches on our place in Comfort. I have been
doing hair for nearly as long as I
have been out of school. Love it and plan on doing it for as long
as my feet will hold up! We have
no kids, but have pets out the kazoo. I keep busy with showing my
horse, and hunting and fishing when
in season... It was interesting hearing from my class and yes, I still think about Tomy Maur and how brave he was back then.
God Bless You All!
Lorrie...good to hear from you.
I still remember you Dad not being to happy with me as a kid in Hollywood Park. I believe he was the fire cheif when Tim Gallagher and I were up to no good in Hollywood Park.
The good ole Coker Elementay days...which occasionally come back to me in flashbacks!
TK...good to hear you chime in as well...post some pics because if you don't, I will be forced to go through my extensive library and post some choice ones.
Hope all is well with you and looking forward to catching up at the 25th
RS,
I will try, but give it your best shot. I would be interested to see what you have.
Robert, I can't imagine you or Tim doing anything bad. (Ha!) Dad was
sort of everyones Father... He put
a lot of discipline into the young
guys interested in becoming firefighters-most of them have turned out well and thanked him later...I still miss him very much!
Coker Elementery School-I remember
stealing packets of ketchup and
mustard from the lunchroom and putting them under the bus tires to watch them explode- What we did
for entertainment before computers in school!
Oh, and Robert, do you remember when Tim wore sports jackets to
school and wanted to be Elvis?
Remember Tim and Elvis!! I had to watch Elvis-Aloha from Hawaii at his house one night when my mom needed a break from us.
Don't forget the milk that we used to put under the bus tires too...I think we may have retired Mr. Donovan from bus driving after that year.
I actually found our third grade
class photo-we were really quite
something! And yes, Tim was wearing
his brown sport jacket. I am impressed with your memory skills-
I didn't even know what our bus
drivers last name was. I doubt that
the milk cartons sent him to retirement-more likely the harmonious renditions of three cheers to the bus driver...
Okay Okay, I signed up. It's me Stacie Stone Chinni, still crazy, still me, still laugh, two incredibly handsome sons. Still in contact with Beth Malloy, Timmy & Colleen Gallagher & Andy Ximenez via myspace. Living in Austin. Single. Okay so I stink at marriage but I make a great ex-wife. HAHA Yes, I'll be attending and trying to talk Beth & Andi into attendign too.
Hiya Lorrie, yeah your Dad thought it was pretty funny when he had to come to our house since the neighbor had shot his gun at Timmy & I for putting a ghost in his yard LOL. I've ran into Charlie quite a few times over the years and he's doing well as Fire Chief. Mr. Donovan was the best bus driver, remember when he would let one of us sit up front and gave us candy. Anyhow, you should post the 3rd grade class, didn't we have Mrs. Richter?
And Bill, I came across a bunch of pictures of us at the pool at my mom's on Christmas. Tell your brothers I said hello.
See everyone soon.
Stacie Stone Chinni
Hey, Stacey-How are you? Third grade was Mrs. Denning... Fourth
was Mrs. Richter-I will bring the
pic when I come in June,I have
pics of grades 1,3&4. We were so
cute. Some of us go way back don't
we? I guess some of you all were
really bad children to get shot at!
I'm really good. My folks moved a bit north out 281 but I still go every Christmas to my Aunts there in Hollywood park. Oh yes Ms. Denning. Actually it was my idea but Timmy went along with it. We had that nutcase that lived next to us. I can't get over, every time I drive through Hollywood Park how much has changed.
Stacie :-)
Your right about that the whole area around Hollywood Park has changed! After my Mom passed away,
I sold her house and so I havent
been back in the park in about a
year and a half- but Our old neigh
bors keep me up on what has been
happening... Heard that Mrs. Sawyer
is still having a hard time excepting what happened to Kelley.
I couldn't beleive when I heard.
She had been my very best friend
in first grade,and we had remained
friends until we left Coker. I guess we have lost more than a few
in our class. It has been fun hearing from people from the old
bus route, and finding out what is
going on! The more I think about this reunion the more I want to see
everyone!
Yes. We lost quite a few then and since school. It was very sad about Kelly. Her grandmother just had a milestone Bday so there was a huge writeup in the paper about it. Beth's mom usually keeps us abreast of what's going on (even though I'm just in Austin) after 19 yrs in New Braunfels.
:-)
Stacie
Hey Stacey...Long Time!
I still remember going to your house on Halloween. You and your sister (Kim?) made all sorts of fake stuff to put our hands in...telling us it was brains or guts!
I still see Tim now and again but not as much since he moved out to Boerne.
I don't know if you remember Greg Perkins but I still see him quite a bit as well. Your name came up the other day when we were playing remember when. Also, Kent Holt's name came up too.
OMG,Ken Holt was Kimberly's 1st bf LOL. Yes, I remember that party and also all those years of trick or treating. Kim's an atty & just moved to Galveston. Greg Perkins, blast from the past, the old group that hung at the Hollywood Park Pool (Bill Kaiser included). Somewhere along the way Timmy became friends with Dad and of course my Mom and Timmy's mom were best friends so I stay in touch. And Barry Ward, of course I remember you. Pretty much everyone I remember.
:-)
Stacie Stone Chinni
Okay, Coker, what a blast from the past alright. Ms. Cunningham, Ms. Cook, Ms. Denning, Ms. Richter, Ms. McCabe, Ms. Livingston....Hollywood Park... Hidden Forest...what a trip!
This is Fern Hime (VanSickle). I didn't hang out with all of you. I was of course with the band people by middle school, but I do remember all of you. Didn't Kim Toland and Robert Stocker "go together" (as we called it then) when we were at Coker? I know that Robert dated Sherry Copeland (class of 84) for awhile at WC. Charlie Ivy is now the Chief here in Bulverde. I need to stop by and see him and tell him everyone is talking about him, and get him online. Tim Gallagher was such a fun kid! Mr. Donovan was a sweet old man with his hat and cigar. Does anyone remember the other bus drivers name (nickname) when it wasn't Mr. Donovan?? I do, but want to see if anyone else does. He was really strict! Karen Bailey came up to me the last Friday night (4/18) at Las Palapas at 1604 & 281. She has a 15 year old son, 13 year old daughter and get this a 19-month old baby! She married someone from high school, but I can't remember his name, they were in history class together. And, I saw Kim Toland having lunch with her Mom at Artisan Alley last year. Kathleen Bradley has made contact with me recently and Kathryn Hayes/Emmons and I communicate via email at least every few weeks. I am not sure if I will be attending the reunion, but I hope that you all have a great time!
Hey Fern...damn you remember everything!
I actually got an email on Classmates from Sherry Copeland a year ago. She is living up on Cape Cod and I believe she is getting her PhD.
As far as Kim Toland goes...it was a rather short go-together...a week by my memory but it was actually in 9th grade. In Coker it was a girl named Robin in 4th grade. I cannot remember her last name for the life of me. Did you guys have Mrs Boxwell, Mrs McCabe or Mrs Albers at Coker?
Kim and Mike Dekker dated for a while at WC. I just spoke with Mike a few days ago to get his information for the reunion.
Course I remember you Fern, you lived right behind Mr.Porter's house. I asked Kimberly (sister) if she wanted to go with me Friday. Guess I've been doing good w/crossword puzzles because so far there is only 1 person who's posted that I don't remember. I sent an email to Jerry Organ to sign up. Hiya Karen & Bill, Bill K., Robert Stocker, Lorie Matter, Barry Ward (from Kim). Sorry Fern, you have me stumped but I'm gonna go with "Busdriver man"?
Stacie Stone Chinni
The bus driver that I remember was names "Taco". I remember because I got kicked off the bus and my Mom had to make an appeal to him. She, of course, called him Mr. Taco...he wasn't pleased.
Bobby, if you say that your girlfriend was Robin Kerr in 4th grade we're going to come to blows. She was the light of my eyes in 5th (Mrs. Moore)and I cried when she moved to New Jersey.
Hey Fern, I remember you and you
do remember a lot!!! What are you
with the CIA or something? I vaguely remember Mark Hamil and Angie Hester being an item in fifth
grade...Love on the soccer feild...
The only sweetie I can recall having in elementary was some little boy named Lance in first grade. Remember coach Pearl who would pull out any loose teeth you
might have? I had a best friend in
Mrs.Bachmanns fifth grade named Mellssa Mays...Last I heard she had
moved to Peach Tree, Ga. She was
one of the first to have the stylish Dorothy Hamill haircut. I remember the Whitehurst twins, and
Destie Fowler from first grade... When she always walked on her tip toes. Also, Ricky Brown who lived
on Mustang Circle and wanted to marry every girl he met!!!!! Dawn Davis and I became good friends in
Junior high and oh my did we ever
roller skate! I must stop, I am having too muc fun!!!!
It was Robin Kerr...I thought I only had to fight Tim Gallagher to get her attention but I apparently I should have been worried about you too.
I used to bring mouthwash to Coker to make sure my breath wash fresh for her!
Glad I never did anything embarrassing during school. LOL
Stacie
where is:
Wesley Putnam - last in Houston
Tim Howard - last in SA
Dan Dreger - I can ask my dad
Iam Montemayor -
Jodie Petlan? - ran into her in Dallas years ago at DFW, we were on the same flight.
Cathy Coker
Chris Odim (Coker)
Karen & Kim Brown - Karen in Spring Branch
Walter Lunsman
Robert Spencer
Stephanie Johnson
Lanissa Yates (Coleman) - SA?
BeeBee (forgot her last name)
BeBe's last name was Graham...Not sure how she spelled her first name.What about Barbara Ham? I must
just live a sheltered life, since
I haven't run into anyone or maybe
I just didn't realize it was them.
Mike, that is correct. Taco is what we called the other bus driver. I don't think we were very politically correct back then! HA! Bebe Graham...is married I know and has a couple of kids. I stay informed about her through Jeff Moczygemba (class of 82)...drum major. Robert, please tell Sherry hello and that I talk to Colleen Turner (Oakes) via email. Staci, I remember you too. And you are correct we lived behind the Porters on Ventura. We then left Hollywood Park and moved to Hidden Forest in 4th grade. Still...I rode bus 66, which I think became 106 in later times. Yes, unfortunatley it is terrible...my husband hates that I can remember waaaay to much information. I ran in to Sally (Salita) Yates, Lanisa sister and they are both married and living in Hidden Forest still. OMG...Mike Deker...lived down the street from me in HF. Ms. Moore was Wesley Putman's neighbor in San Pedro Hills...she was such a nice lady. Robert, I had Ms. Albers in 4th grade and Ms. Richter and Ms McCabe both taught different math. Whatever happened to John Carreon? (Coker). Lorrie I remember you too! I don't remember Coach Pearl, but there was another coach that came along at Coker. She was a, how do I say it hard looking woman and usually wore her hair in 2 pig tails. Ms...Coach?? Anyone?? I saw Desti Fowler here while back, but didn't get the chance to talk to her. Remember when her and David or was it John Hardage got married on the playground? I stopped in and saw Charlie Ivy. Maybe he will get on here and post. Okay, enough...you are right Lorrie too much fun and memories!
Hey Fern, I remember weddings on the playground... All this got me
to thinking and I wondered what ever happened to Stephanie Hill who used to live on Meadowbrook just up the street from the Huggins? She and I used to cruise the streets on our bicycles. Don't
remember the coach, but Pearl was
tough looking too. She was a big
lady! I remember John Carreon, but
don't know what happened to him. Remember Evelyn Morris? She and I
were in Cosmetology at WC. Don't
know where those girls are now. Come on Chuck if you are reading, I want to know what happened to Kim Register- Dad used to keep me
up on her. Karen Bailey got me kicked out of Pep Squad for laughing at her because she would
cackle like a chicken- I got so many demerits, they threw me out!
That late baby is probably payback
for that!!! HaHa! I don't think I
was cut out for Pep Squad anyway
HaHah!!!! Things turn out the way
they are supposed to, so no bad feelings, Karen. It was so damn funny to hear her do that chicken, I couldn't help myself!
Lorrie:
I don't remember Stephanie Hill, but Stephanie Wheeler and Lorie Hill. Not sure what happened to either one. Also Anne White mentioned Stephanie Wissinger and don't know what happen to her either. Jill Litzinger I last heard was an M.D.and living in Austin. Ms. Howe I think was the Coach I remember. Is that correct? There was alo the student PE Teacher Ms. Garcia. She was a sweet lady. Evelyn Morris was always so quiet! Wonder where she is. Karen Bailey, oh yeah, I remember the chicken squawk she would do. And, I vaguely remember you getting kicked out and you were mad! I sat by Paige Wanless and we use to have a blast in Pep Squad our freshmen year. I know Mike Martin doesn't remember me, but I can remember the funky black race shoes that he had. We all use to wear them back in the 70's (uh-hum...did I say that). I remember that Mike thought he could run super fast in those shoes. He use to crack all of us up. Staci, you mentioned Stephanie Johnson (Humphrey later on), remember her sister Valerie? (Val)and I think they had 2 others sisters.
Stacie...Tim Howard is in SA and I see about every other Saturday at the YMCA. We each have boys the same age so we are usually playing baseball or football against each other a few times a year.
Wes was in SA as of our 20th and he actually had a fun after party at his house after the official event ended.
I ran into Dan at Academy in SA about a year ago and I think he is still here.
Lorrie...I was thinking about Stephanie Hill too the other day. She lived down the street from me on Meadowbrook. Last time I saw her had to be 6th grade. I also know that Kim Register is in town and I will try to dig up an email for her. Bill Kaiser may already have it for his reunion list.
Do you guys remember Bonnie Klauss from Coker and Hollywood Park? Wonder what became of her??
Wow, send him my hellos. I never thought of that but my youngest (17) is a junior @ Canyon High School and plays on Varsity Baseball. We do play quite a few of the schools in SA. I remember Bonnie but not sure where she went. Yup, after Mr. Johnson passed away, Stephanie, Andi & Kelly all went back to Humpries and Val stayed with Johnson. Last time I saw a huge group of folks was at Colleen & Timmy's wedding then at Jerry Organ's 1st wedding where I was pregnant at both I think LOL.
Stacie Stone Chinni
I remember Bonnie,I went to a birthday party at her house in either first or second grade, but
I don't know what happened to her
later. I was mad at Karen or mad
at being sent to Mr. Churchill's office? Don't remember... Probably
the latter- what a humiliating thing to be sent to the principals
for!!! I had to explain that to a
grown man :) Worked out though. I
remember the Oakes girls...Isn't it
funny how once you start remembering school, it just triggers one memory after another...Stephanie Hill and I used to want to be Cher. We would
swing our hair like her and try
to dress like her. How crazy is that? There was also Stephanie Rice who played little red ridinghood in our Coker Elementary
productions. Remember going to the Symphony and dressing up?
Stacie,
Sorry I didn't call you back last week. I got your message and although it is very sweet of you, Dave has very vehemently told me NO. Says I was just there and were I to go, he wanted to go too. Plus he doesn't want me to go away again.....guess he loves me, lol. I never hear from or see anyone, so can't keep anyone updated on anyone but Stacie. :( Hope everyone has a blast, and post lots of pics after the even.
Beth Malloy Sirmeyer
Hey Girl,
Tell him he can trust me LOL
xoxoxo
Stacie
Stace
You forget Dave knows you! I
Hey Fern...
WOW you do have a great memory, I remember PEP Squad HATED IT LOL! Did you change your mind yet :))))
Okay, who is the anonymous that posted on 5/12 regarding pep squad and me changing my mind about going to the reunion. Is that you Kathryn Emmons?
Hey Fern, Sorry that was ME Kathryn, we've spoke on the phone since your post though. CAN'T WAIT!

Hello everyone! I posted earlier in the yearbook quote part of the blog. But I wanted to put in my two cents here. Thanks to Bill (and his assistants) for organizing this. Looking forward to the reunion.
Brenda (Tyler) Rushing
I put this in the wrong blog spot,
but I know what happened to Vincent
Durbin, He is living in Kerrville.
I do his Mom's hair and have passed on information about the reunion and this blog so Maybe he
will come... Also told him to let anyone he knows of in our class know...
Hey guys! This is Karen Bailey Watson! I'm still living here in SA. At WC I met Darryl Watson senior year in Coach Mark's Government class. Let's just say I didn't learn a thing about Government! I know there are three branches!! How could I learn anything about government anyway when a coach was teaching it?!? And I was extremely distracted because Darryl sat at a table in the front of the room! Anyway, in 1990 Darryl and I got married - almost 18 years ago! We have 3 children, ages 15, 13 and holy cow---19 months! What a shock to get pregnant at 41! I didn't think Darryl would live through it, but he did, and Colby (boy) is our easiest kid we've had! By the time you get to the third kid, you've pretty much got parenting mastered, and hey we're tired and slow so we're much calmer parents! We were going to have our kids out of high school by the time we are 48, now we'll be 60! Anyway, I never graduated from college, but worked at a couple of hospitals. I've been a stay at home mom for 13 years now! My last real job was an administrative assistant at KCI in information systems. It's crazy to think that when I worked there was no internet! How things have changed! I remember cd's had just come out before I left. I remember telling one of my managers it would be cool if we could just download all the information I had to input manually onto a cd. He said, there's no to record to a cd! I've volunteered at the kids schools, worked Mothers Day Out at Castle Hills First Baptist and taken care of a child out of my home. Right now, I just take care of my own kids! And yes, I still keep in touch with Kim Toland Ruch. Our families get together for dinner sometimes. Also, we occasionally get together for lunch. We do talk on the phone all the time! And she lives right down the road from me in Sonterra. I've run into Dawn Chapman a couple of times. She's got about four kids and wanted to get pregnant again. I saw John Carreon at Dillards Central Park back in 1990. He was playing in a band at the time! I was in love with him in 2nd grade at Coker!Jason Weatherman and Brett Folkes live in my neighborhood here in Canyon Springs. Lorrie Matter - as for me getting you kicked out pep squad for making chicken noises, I didn't even know that happened! I do remember always acting dorky and trying to make everyone laugh all the time! The whole reason I was in high school was to have fun! If I were in high school today, I wouldn't even graduate. I think my overall average for all 4 years was a 71! But hey I spent lots of time in detention for tardies, on campus suspension for skipping out, at home suspension because I had Julie Kilborns pipe and bag of marijuana in my purse! Once I got suspended for going off campus to those apartments by the teachers parking lot and drank screwdrivers before school. I think VOE teacher Mrs. Range, turned us in! I spent lots of time in Mr. Middleton, Mr. Dockery and Mr. Churchill's office! I was even in a school club! It just happened to be the Waste-O-Club! My 15 year old goes to Reagan HS and if he ever does half the stuff I did, I'll have to kill him! Ha!
I guess I should answer for Darryl because he's busy working so I can continue to stay at home and take care of all our kids. After graduating from high school, Darryl attended UTSA while continuing to work at NPC homebuilders as a draftwman. In 1987, he transferred to Baylor where he received his BBA in 1989 and his law degree in 1991. Several years ago I asked Darryl what made him decide to go to law school, thinking some life changing event affected him. His response was "I thought it would be cool to tell people I'm an Attorney!" Fortunately, the highlight of his life was when he married me in 1990! Ha! Anyway, he became an associate at Gordon Hollon and Associates in Boerne right out of law school. In 1993, he became a partner at Bobbitt, Halter and Watson here in SA. He practices civil litigation. He occasionally has had lunch with Sean Paige who is also an attorney. Darryl is an awesome husband and father! He works hard and spends lots of time with our kids basketball practices and tournaments. The older ones both play AAU ball. We also spend lots of time doing things with our extended families since both of our families still live here.
Hi fellow Chargers! It's Amie Fahel. What a blast from the past stumbling across this reunion web site. Even though nobody is looking for me and my name's not mentioned on the "whatever happened to.." blogs, (LOL!) here's my lowdown!
After graduating WC, I graduated from UT Austin with a BS in Elementary Education and started my teaching career immediately after college. I have been an elementary school teacher for 20 years. I married my wonderful husband Mark Jurica in 1992 (we met when I was teaaching school at Larkspur Elementary in NEISD and he was finishing his engineering degree in Austin) Moved to Wells Branch after getting married, then to Round Rock, back to SA for a few years (taught at Oak Meadow Elementary and opened Huebner Elementary) and now live in Bulverde, Texas (about 10 miles north of 281/1604)
We have two beautiful daughters, Abbie 13 and Lindsay 9. This is my last year of teaching, and I am now going to enjoy being a retired teacher and stay at home mom.
I can remember all of the names mentioned and people who have posted blogs. Fern...I challenge you at the memory game! Remember when the two of us ran into each other at Morgan S. (Kiddie Koop) birthday party?
My oldest and dearest friend from WC is Allison Guess, who is living in LA, married and has a daughter named Katherine (koko) Hey Al...wanna go to the reunion?
Bill Kaiser...remember when the two of us were office assistants together and we'd fight over which one of us got to deliver a note to a teacher/student? You haven't changed a bit in your recent pics!
Dan Pollard...you broke my heart when you dumped me for Leah (redhead)somebody, but I'm over it now. LOL!
Jason Weatherman, Kenny Linton, Neal McMasters...remember the summer days at the Harmony Hills Cabana Club?
Janine and Janice Marshall...lost track of the two of you after college. Where are you? Remember our days at LBJ lake? I still remember your german sheppard Liberty.
Anchor Club...now that was fun. We couldn't wait for the "Kiss a Beau" day when we'd kidnap the guys before school and take them to breakfast. They had to wear a "Kiss me, I'm a Beau!" tag all day. We'd hunt them down just for a peck!
Jack Caughlin (sp!?) ..I remember your old fashion car you used to drive...was that in highscool?
Pep Squad, Dance Team...those were the days! My two daughters refuse to believe that I was on Dance Team and had any bit of athletic ability in me at all! Even the highschool year book pictures don't convince them!
Doris and the gang - sorry I never made it out to one of your Girls Night Out!
I haven't been the best at keeping in touch with fellow Chargers, but I sure do remember them all!
Not sure if I'll make it to the reunion..have a great time and post lots of pictures!
Hello, this is Sam Esquivel. My wife, Christi, and I went to the 20 year reunion and actually hosted a couple of "after" parties. I am glad to hear that there is such a big movement for number 25.
I know that Kriese and Dave Cocke will be attending. I also got a call from Kirsten Robinson, and she is coming to SA for the party.
I am living in SA, and sell medical equipment (custom wheelchairs) for a company called Hope Medical. I actually ran into Dan Pollard's mother no too long ago. She saw my Aggie ring and wanted to know if I knew her son. How could I ever forget Big D. I did not have the heart to tell Mrs. Pollard that Dan was too pure for me at A&M (12th Man and all). I actually hung around with his brother, Paul. But we won't talk about that.
Since others are asking about the MIA's, I have a few: Where is Neal McMasters? Neal, I've always kept my mouth shut about the pie incident. Stephanie Wissinger, where the hell are you? Jan, I think Kirsten said she was going to try and get you to join us. Kovacs, I can't wait to catch up with you. What ever happened to that guy "Tiny" from A&M?
I really hope to see many of you that we saw at the 20th: Brenda, Kathy, Karen, Jill.
I can't wait to see you.
Sam
Oh, the good old days at the Cabana Club, I was in love with a couple of the life guards there. LOL. My very favorite was Amehl (sp) he was gorgeous, I think Robert Specks sister ended up dating him for a while..heart breaking HA! I spent many an hour there. Haven't heard anything latley on Neil McMasters but I know his little brother, is a priest, he was a good friend of my little brother back in the day.
Some sightings and updates...on a few fellow classmates....
I heard from Barbara Arden several months ago, via classmates, and email, she's doing well, I think she's planning on attending the reunion.
Sean Amestoy is a successful Rodeo Coach at Wharton County Junior College. Last I heard from him he was living the good life, with a wonderful wife and happy little family.
Luara White married her high school sweet heart Dale Randol, has two beautiful children,they still live in Hollywood Park,she went back to school and just graduated last week, and still going stong. WAY TO GO Luara!
Any fellow Harmony Hills Elementary classmates out there? Anyone remember Mr. Whitney and "Snoopyville" I opened a Vet Hospital and I think I went bankrupt LOL. He was a great teacher. He used to play the radio in the classroom, I thought that was the coolest thing EVER!
Amie:
Yes, I do remember seeing you at Morgan's b-day party. I still see you at HEB-Bulverde but you seems to be in a hurry. We have seen the Stanzione's a couple of time since they left Kiddie Koop. Not sure yet if I will be attending reunion either. Take care. - Fern
Fern,
Holler at me next time you see me at H-E-B! Being in a hurry is the story of my life! But not for long...I am not going to work after the school year ends! Take care and see ya 'round!
Amie
Hey Karen, Glad to see you found the blog. I didn't realize you married Darryl Watson. We used to work at Weiner's Department store together, right? Am I remembering the right person? That's when I started dating Randy Stumpf. Does anyone know where he is these days?
I think we need to start a site on the blog about where we worked in high school. I worked at Weiner's and also at Clothestime for a while. Anybody else remember his/her high school job? There must be some funny stories in there somewhere.....
Brenda (Tyler) Rushing
Oops, forgot to respond to Sam's comment. Hi Sam, I left you a message on classmates.com. I lost your email I think when I switched jobs a few years ago. I remember your great party from the 20th! Stephanie is in Florida now I think. I sent her an email a few days ago with the reunion info, but I don't know if she is coming. See you at the reunion.....
