David Shields writes:
Occupation: Retired Air Force. Freelance writer, artist; Executive Director of non profit ministry, also do occasional home remodeling repair work.
Bio: Right after graduation moved to Plant City, FL with family where I went to work at Kraft Foods Inc. on clean-up crew then the following summer I worked maintenance during the plant shut down. While there I received Christ into my life and was called into the ministry. I attended bible college for one year. When I got laid off from Kraft due to the near complete wipe out of the orange crop in 1982 I went to work as an industrial painter when I got laid off from that I went to work for a wholesale plant nursery. After getting tired of the unstable job market I joined the US Air Force in 1984. Became a medic and was assigned to Keesler AFB in Mississippi. Got married in 1985 to my first wife. Left the Air Force for a short time in 1988 to go into full time ministry in Newberry, Florida. Things didn't work out with that job, so I returned to the Air Force and moved to MacDill AFB in Tampa, Florida
while there I got a free trip to the Saudi desert for the Gulf war. Went to Germany in 1993 and my son was born that year. I spent 5 1/2 years in Frankfurt GE stationed at the now closed Rhein-Main AB. Continued college there and studied art and business concurrently at the University of Maryland. Left Germany in 1998 and was stationed it Holloman AFB in New Mexico. Became a recruiter in 2000 and moved to Dothan, Alabama. Left Alabama in 2004 and went to Charleston AFB in Charleston, South Carolina where I won another free trip to the desert this time to Kuwait in support of OIF/OEF. Divorced in 2005 after an extended separation (trying to keep it together)while wife and kids remained in Dothan, AL. Remarried in 2006 to my current wife Theresa. I retired from the Air Force in November of 2006 and started a remodeling business in Charleston. God called us to move to the mountains of North Carolina to open a Christian retreat center and move into full time ministry, so we up and quit everything and moved to Spruce Pine, NC in April, 2007.
Trivia: I'm writing a book, which is almost complete and hope to have it publisher ready by the end of this year ('07)
Friends: Robert Horner, Shawn Helton, Marcy Duke, Marc Usilton (Michelletti), Max Wise, David Goff and many others whose names escape me right now. I've lost contact with all of them. I was saddened to learn of David's and Marc's deaths. I had been trying to find Marc for several years, but never reconnected.
Hobbies: Writing, painting, photography, guitar, running, hiking, backpacking/camping and bicycling.
Kids: Jonathan (13) is a very bright young man who loves star wars and film making. He and a friend are currently producing and filming their own movie. He also plays guitar. Adriana (10) loves reading and wants to be a writer. She has written stories and co-wrote a children's book with her dad, which I will self-publish for her. She also plays piano and is a very bright student. Daniel Tedford (16) is my step-son and he lives with us in NC. He loves video games and girls. He is tall and good looking, so the girls love him too!
Grade_school: Cordova Villa in Rancho Cordova
Junior_high: Mills Jr High in Rancho Cordova and Valley Vista in Sacto
Junior_high_friends: Charles Turner at Mills.
Memorable_teachers: Mr. Botello. He was like my best friend and he taught me more than just photography; he taught me about life. He introduced me to the work of Man Ray, which has shaped my art. Mrs McKenzie who loved my creative writing so much that she passed me in her Expository writing class even though I didn't do so well. Mr. Wilcox from metal shop, mostly for his wisdom.
Favorite_memory: Slap boxing on the quad and hanging out at the wall near the art classes watching girls and dreaming about what life will be like when we finally left Encina. 
Story: I spent a lot of time in the darkroom of B-4 and when I finally came out in my senior year I met a lot of people who didn't even know I went to the school. They did an article in the school paper about me being holed up in the darkroom and that was pretty cool at the time. My favorite story involves a substitute teacher in Mr. Rollins World History class. He had to go out for extended jury duty and we went through a number of substitutes. Our class was divided with the bad kids on the teachers left and the good kids on the teachers right. I was on the left (need I say more). We (the bad ones) would throw paperwads and shoot spit wads at the sub and the next day we would have a different one. Then "she" showed up, I don't remember her name, but she wouldn't back down no matter what we did she came back and she changed my life. She saw potential in me and encouraged me to live up to my potential. I switched sides and turned my grade from an "F" to a "C" and I think eventually a "B". I wouldn't have graduated without her help. That was also the catalyst to me meeting new people and being discovered by people who didn't even know I was there.

comments: After graduating Indian boarding school (a cross between prison and military) where I was on the football, boxing (all year), track, rodeo (bull riding), and track teams. I went the University of Utah, who's symbol (not mascot was the Ute). Ute is and Indian tribe native to Utah. As the Ute symbol a casting director spotted me and asked if I could ride a horse bare-back like that in front of a camera. After asking how much the pay was, I said "Hell yeah!" and ever since I've been acting and doing stunt work. Later married someone half my age, also in the industry. I also have done many commercials and print work (modeling), calendar shoots and Tech. advising on Native American subject matter (At the U of U I majored in cultural anthropology, and speak several Native American languages). I think many people at Encina didn't know I was multi-lingual, even close friends, because I only spoke Lakota to family members. Most recently I was in the Steven Spielberg mini-series "Into the West" as White Crow. Some of my other work can be found on imdb.com. Weird life huh?

was born in December, 1982.  Doug and I seperated in 1984.  In October 1986, we both remarried.  I married Forrest Oldham whom I met and dated in 1981.  In July, 1988, my son, Andrew was born.  I resigned from State service and stayed home to raise my son.  During this time I returned to college (Sierra Community College, Rocklin) and volunteered time at the State Capitol as a historical room interpreter.  In 1990, I returned to
State service, working in the acccounting and clerical fields.  August, 1996, my family moved to a turn of the 20th century, two story, farm house in the rural county of Colusa (50 miles north of Sacramento.)  My second husband (Forrest) singlehandedly renovated the home from the foundation up.  I was communting to Sacramento from College City to work and in 1997 I was fortunate to find a State job 15 minutes from my home in Williams.  I have worked in Williams for the past eight years with the exception of a 9 month temporary assignment in Yuba City.  In 2001, I divorced my second husband.  I am making plans to continue my education and to actively pursue those dreams I had in high school.
Trivia: I was the manger of my son's little league team.  My husband assisted as the coach.  I was hit in the face by a wild pitch, luckily I was hit in the soft tissue of my cheek (hence no broken bones or black eyes.)

Bio: Went to college for a couple of years. Moved to Los Angeles to try my luck at a golf career. NOT!! Moved back to Sacto. and started a business. Since then I have been mostly building my companies. Inventing new product lines. Traveling the world. Raising and spending a lot of time with my beautiful daughter.
Trivia: I'm not sure what would be considered trivia about myself, however I am considered one of the best kept secrets in my trade and work mainly for the very wealthy. How's that?
Friends: The Varsity Soccer guys, too many to name. Steve Powell, John Reitter, George Champagne, Mark Clark and other infamous water-ballooners.
Hobbies: Right now I am very busy creating a product line for Home Depot and the like.

My Daughter is the most important feature of my life however and so I spend as much time with her as allowed. Play golf a couple of times a year. 
Kids: My daughter Alexis was born in October of 1997. At the time of her birth my wife Megan and I were expecting a healthy baby, just unsure of the gender. When Alexis came out she went into immediate respiratory distress and the prognosis was very dark and grim. We were told she would not live very long and that her chances of a normal life were very bleak. Through all of the surgeries and lots of therapy, she has stunned the medical community, including thirty of the brightest minds in the world at U.C.L.A. and has surpassed all of their doubts, as well as their predictions about her future. I am proud to say that I have a newly named "miracle" child, that is now teaching the medical world things they didn't think possible.

I have lived in nearly every region of the U.S. and even in Canada, and my occupations have ranged from Medical Transcriptionist to Irish Dance teacher, to First Mate on a Schooner, chasing whales in the North Atlantic, to owning a software company producing an industry standard solution for the Newton (Apple) to Macintosh connectivity, which we sold all over the world via the Internet beginning in the early days fo the WWW... to being a professinal chef in a castle in Newport RI, to working as a security analyst at the company that invented the internet...
I am now at Harvard University, working as a network analyst.
Trivia: you could say I am restless, and that anything I have set my sights on, I have achieved... now I am considering my versatility and convincing demeanor as possibly the preparation for work as a high-level diplomat specializing in Russian and Chinese foreign relations, in my latter years as I age and grow in wisdom. I have a knack for foreign languages, having studied Irish and Scottish Gaelic, German, as well as a smattering of most of the standard European languages. I am also a trained coluratura soprano and am actively involved with different sacred early (baroque and before)music groups in Maine and the Harvard University community...
Friends: Well, none of them mentioned me as a best friend... but, Sandy Conley, Dave Lester, Kelly O'Dell, Misty Tenney etc... yeah, I know I was a loner and restless on the face of the earth, but I had lost touch with everyone but Sandy - who I owe so much to, for saving me from a pretty unstable dysfunctional family life over the years...
Hobbies: I have been a crew member on a Racing Class A yacht in Maine, for several years now, racing on the New England and Offshore circuits. We tend to win the races over the rough seas, being on an OLDer, heavier, sea-worthy Beneteau 456sd - rather than one of the ultra-light multi-million dollar US made hybrids these rich guys purchase for themselves every year...

Junior_high_friends: none, see above answer
Memorable_teachers: Mrs. West - American History; she did not mind that I played Frisbee in the quad instead of attending regularly, as long as I came for quizzes and tests (Sandy Conley would tell me about the tests coming up, or fetch me from the quad for the quizzes), since I always ACED my tests and was known as the slacker curve-buster in her courses...
Rusty Vardy and Bryce Cordes, for the Summer School Environmental Investigations course... they were cool. The course was outdoors, with backpacking and learning about edibles and natural history.
And Finally, my ALL TIME MEMORABLE AWARD goes to:
ERIC DAHLIN!!!!!!! God knows, how he put up with me cutting the rest of my classes and spending the days in his ceramic studio - doing what-not. I understand he is still there, and the two times I have gone to see him over the years, he has tried to hide from me... I developed my Psy talents while in his studio, and this is how I realized I am a mutant...
Favorite_memory: Cutting school with Bill KNoble and Misty Tenney to go to the River during the last full solar eclipse of the century, and taking off my pants to wade in flood waters, so as not to get them wet, while Misty and Bill decided for an hour whether they would take off their pants to wade to the other side of the flooded out section of bike path...
but mostly, I recall the total comfort and love from my friends there, as I had a terrible home-life and this was my island of stability for three years...
Story: umm... maybe not, I am not sure what the statute of limitations would be for some of the things my friends did...
BUT, I can share, that recently, Sandy had been thinking about me alot, as I had slipped off the radar, and I got in touch with her, and she had heard from Dave Lester, and put me in touch with him. Damn, it feels good to talk to my friends, we really have not changed...
And there is always that certain ESP, so that anyone close to me that wants to find me, can focus their thoughts and their radars and I will call them back asap!

The Sacramento Bee, March 14, 1988
EX-BOYFRIEND HELD IN WOMAN'S STABBING DEATH
  A 24-year-old woman was found stabbed to death in her downtown Sacramento apartment Sunday morning, and her ex-boyfriend was arrested Sunday afternoon in connection with the killing, police said. Tonia Seabron, 662 N St., died
Saturday night after being stabbed several times in the chest, according to Sacramento Police Sgt. Ronald Meadors and the county coroner's office.
  Arrested was Reavous Van Thomas, 32, of Sacramento, who had told the apartment manager Sunday morning that Seabron wasn't answering the door when he knocked. He accompanied the manager, Vern Gore, who opened the apartment, and they found the victim's body on the bedroom floor and notified police at 7:49 a.m. There were no signs of forced entry to the second-floor apartment, part of the Capitol Towers complex three blocks west of the state Capitol, Meadors said.
  Thomas, who had been with detectives throughout the day, was arrested at 4 p.m. Meadors said Thomas had been stabbed in his leg and was treated at University Medical Center. Meadors declined to say how Thomas had been injured. Meadors said Thomas would be held without bail at the Sacramento County Jail, and would be booked on unspecified murder charges later this week after the homicide detective confers with the district attorney's office.
  According to police, Seabron and Thomas moved into the N Street apartment about a year ago with her toddler son. Thomas lived there until a few months ago, when Seabron broke up with him, although the couple still socialized, Meadors said.
  After Seaborn's body was found, police placed the toddler in his grandmother's custody. She was visiting her daughter from Memphis this weekend, but was not at the apartment when the slaying occurred. She and other family members arrived Sunday morning while police were still inside, Meadors said.
  Gary Chartrand, a cartographer who lives in Sacramento and commutes to San Francisco to work, said he often heard the couple fighting in their apartment above his. Manager Gore described Seabron as a "really nice lady" and a good resident who always paid her rent. Several months ago, however, other residents had complained about loud noise from her apartment, he said.
  Gore saw Seabron Saturday and said that she joked with him about wearing green on St. Patrick's Day. "She was really happy the day before, with her mother here," Gore said. He said she recently got a new job.
  Chartrand said he had a group of friends over Saturday night and didn't hear anything in the apartment above him. The neighborhood had its share of domestic disputes and drunks, but "never anything like this," he said. "This complex has a pretty good reputation for security," Chartrand said. "I'm sure this will rock the whole community for awhile."

Bio: Hello Class of 1980!
I don't know if any of you remember me , I was the Football "trainer, taper" with Anika Swisher I can't remember if that was for the 1979 or 1980 year.  But you football players and Basketball players would remember. I was a displaced Freshman, I should have gone to Sacramento HS , but my parents moved to Campus Commons so I spent my 8th grade year at Jonas Salk and H.S. of course at Encina.  It was definitely tough since I didn't grow up with a lot of you who went to Encina.  I hung out with Marla and Anika and alone too.
Trivia: I have had a great life being able to travel several times to Europe and also living in the former Yugoslavia back in 1985-1986 and also working for a Tour Organization called "Yugo-Tours of London. I was a Hotel Representative on the Makarska Riviera on the Adriatic sea.  After my stent in Yugoslavia the next year 1987 I was in France and went to a private language school and also was an "Au Pair" taking care of a child for my room and board.  I am bilingual in French and Serbo-Croatian. I really feel blessed about all of the opportunities I have had, not to say that it was all that easy.  So while a lot of you were going to college and getting your degrees I was trapsing across Europe and learning a lot of hard lessons.  I wouldn't have done it any differently. In 1989 I married my husband he was French , but unfortunately the marriage didn't last.  He's back in France and I am here were I should be, I guess?   I have a lot of hobbies, travel, language, sports and Salsa dancing...Well it was nice to be able to add a little something to the Encina website...Presently I work for the State of California at the Trade & Commerce Agency as an Office Technician..One more thing Mr. Psiasas was my favorite teacher, he taught French and was a very inspiring teacher he loved France and loved his job.  Unfortunately he died from cancer..

Bio: I now live in Kansas City, thanks to Jennifer Smith-Tierney's wiley ways (when I came to visit her in 1992, she only drove me down the grandest boulevard in KC and introduced me to what-turned-out-to-be-the-only gorgeous single men in KC).
     Needless to say, I am still single, but happy with my 15 year-old cat Tasha and 8-year-old appaloosa gelding (nickname:Foster the Destroyer) that bucks me off with some regularity.
     I work for a global engineering-construction company, and was lucky enough to get some travel in to London and the Middle East some years back. Cairo made the largest impact - it was dirty, smelly, loud, crowded (18 million people in the city), and the food was terrible (and I like middle eastern food), but I loved every minute of it. To be seventies-ish, it was a trip.
Trivia: Lived in San Diego for 12 years, worked for Home Federal Savings & Loan of San Diego that went down the tubes with the rest of them. Moved to Kansas City to work for Black & Veatch in 1992.
Friends: Jennifer Smith (now Tierney), Kim Dimitras (still Morgan?), Sara Gannon (whatever happened to her?), Lori Burgess-Booth, Michelle LeMaire, Fran and Jill Sheetz, and oh how I hope I am not forgeting anyone. I never could find my niche in High School (sound familiar?) but I think we had a great class. Everyone was really nice and calm. I don't think I appreciated how lucky we were, but I do now. High school is tough for all women that I know. I was as insecure as the next person, but everyone seemed kind of supportive of each other, in a quiet way.
Hobbies: Horseback riding (hunter/jumper, trail, some dressage), snow skiing, reading about emerging diseases, and, lately, font design. My friends are disgusted and tell me I will never get married (but I nevertheless keep them up-to-date on emerging diseases - don't feed hot dogs to young children as there have been numerous listeriosis problems in the last few years, which is extremely hard on the very young and very old). And stay away from sprouts, Sacramento.
Kids: I have bored you enough already, and I am sure you don't want to hear about my horse.

Occupation: RN (neonatal intensive care)
Bio: I worked for the family business (wholesale tire distributor) until it dissolved in 1991.  I met my wife in 1986 and we married in 1991, she's an elementary school teacher (5th grade).  Tired of the tire business, I did some soul searching and decided to go back to college (late bloomer I guess) and become an RN.  I graduated from CSU Hayward in 1997 with my BSN degree.  I couldn't have done it without the patience, encouragement, and inspiration from my wife.  I'm now working in the neonatal intensive care unit at Alta Bates Medical Center in Berkeley CA.  After 5+ years of extraordinary medical measures my wife gave birth to our son Jacob August 12th 1998 (one day after my own birthday, quite the belated birthday gift).  I still stay in touch with Jim and Becky Granroth, lifelong friends.
Friends: I hung out with Jim Granroth, Greg Jordan, Marshall Bliss, Dusty Shaw, Ed Steffenhagen, Bill Knoble, Steve France (all class of 80'), Joe Blair, Dennis Heck, Lonnie West (all class of 81').  I've only stayed in touch with Jim Granroth and Greg Jordan over the years. And, just recently I got back in touch with Joe Blair via the internet (highschoolalumni.com).  I hope I didn't forget anyone, a lot of time has passed (unfortunately) since graduation.
Hobbies: When I have the time I like to golf, snow ski, and play tennis.  I played some softball up until recently (lower back injury).  Most of my rec time now is with my wife and son, which is just fine with me.
Kids: My son, Jacob Tanner, was born August 12th 1998.  Much to my wife's chagrin he was a 12 lb. baby at birth.  Needless to say he was delivered C-section.  I think he'll be a soccer player, he loves to kick the ball around the house.  He loves to watch Barney and Blues Clues.  The funniest thing, when he's excited about something he opens his mouth, raises his arms, and literally trembles, it's a kick to watch him.  Oh yeh, he's now into running and jumping (advancing those motor skills).   He also likes Daddy to throw him up into the air and catch him when he comes down, he's fearless.  He also likes Mommy to read books to him and play games with him.

Bio: I've been living the past 15 years in beautiful Monterey, CA, but just recently moved to Atascadero,CA. That's somewhere between Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo. I've been adjusting to life in the country. It's definately a culture shock, but I'm loving it. Let's see..... I've been working mainly in the printing business. From management to ownership, then back to management, and now to sales. I discovered that owning your own business isn't always the American dream, but no harm done. I'm currently a single mom with a beautiful daughter. I've stayed in close contact with Evan Dick, he lives in Monterey as well, and doing great! We have alot of fun together,and yes, he's still as crazy as ever. I've also recently picked up my drum sticks this last year at the urging of a good friend of mine, and I'm having a blast.

Bio: Gee, that covers nearly 20 years and I am given a paragraph? I have been living, mostly. Working at the same job for, ugh, 13 years now, which could be worse if I did not own the company. I have somehow managed to remain in Sacramento, despite every desire not to do so in my earlier years. Today I mainly manage to find time between work, activities and family to try to keep that oh so delicate balance that I have always been so good at fumbling.
Hobbies: I am very active in many sports, operating a sideline business called EcoTours, taking many "ecotourism" type tours all over the world. This year (1998) I have been whitewater rafting in Mexico, kayaking in the Galapagos Islands, hiking in Hawaii and many local California spots, hang gliding in British Columbia and exploring in New Mexico. I spend every other weekend on a tour and it keeps me active and sane. Beyond that, I am an active tennis player and sail at Folsom Lake whenever the wind plays right, which means that I clean my boat a lot while waiting for the six good sail days at Folsom. The remainder of the time, I spend at our home on the coast, relaxing.
Kids: My kids...well, I raised three foster children for 13 years, now each of them in college and me amazed that I survived the teenage years. Even more so that, during this time, I married and, somehow, was talked into my own child, now five years of age and a Kindergarten student at Holy Spirit School. She is quick, sly and smart, getting into all types of trouble and, I am sure, my revenge from heaven for my early days.
