Occupation: Realtor
Bio: Well..not really knowing what I wanted to do I stumbled into Sac State
and actually had a great College experience and met my beautiful wife
Janine. I started a small business and after a short time felt the need (for
some stupid reason)to climb a corporate ladder if I was to get
married and
start our family. So after several interviews I switched to a Management
postion with a large company that had a "training" program. Sounds
great
right! well it was a glorified grunt, catch all postion that, although not
fun at the time, did teach me alot. After several years I changed
Companies but stayed in management and continued
to learn alot about myself and people. I was not
expecting the personal growth when I took the positions,
but when I reflect back I know now how valuable those times were. I was
promoted to a General Manager and they moved me to the Bay area. I
was in
the middle of the Dot.com Boom and found myself commuting and working alot
and not spending the time I wanted to with my new young family.
So I decided to get my Real Estate License and work for myself, I now
have a five minute commute, coach my girls teams and live in the best
kept secret in the Bay Area- Livermore. Life is Good!
Friends: Jeff Watson, Mark Hernandez, Andy Budlong, Jeff Briggs, Rob
Schaffer, Matt Deanda, John Saca, Bobby Trujillo, ...I still see
Jeff, Mark, and Andy at least once a year for our

just went to the KISS concert with Bobby Mayer and my brother
Paul.

Favorite_memory: Those stupid air band contests were a BLAST!
Story: Jeff, Mark, and I thought it would be soooo great to burn "85"
on the senior lawn our junior year. We got pool
bleach, jumped the fence in the
middle of the night..dressed in dark cloths so not to be seen...poured all
the bleach onto the lawn in the form of 85...nervous but excited to
see how
those seniors would react when they saw 85 in their lawn!!! well...needless
to say..it hardly burned the lawn...and in our excitment our five
looked
almost like a six ...I remember in the middle of this adventure thinking
that it would be something I would remember fondly in 20
years...well...things dont always work out they way you think!!!

Occupation: Sr. Administrative Secretary, Health & Community Services,
Central Piedmont Community College
Bio: After graduating, I met my ex-husband and moved to North Carolina. We
lived there for about 3 years then moved on to Seattle, Wa, and then back to
Sacramento. I did a variety of jobs while we raised the boys (Greyson &
Ashton). Then we moved back to NC. Things didn't work out between us and we
divorced. That's when I decided it was time to have a career, not a job. I
entered nursing school. I was doing work-study to help pay for classes and
the position I was in opened up as a full-time opportunity. Being a single
mom at the time, I dropped nursing school and took the job. I never wanted
to be a secretary, but life has a sense of humor. I've been working in that
position since. In the meantime, I met and married my current husband,
Jerry. He's a "country boy" and makes me laugh. I wouldn't trade him for the
world. We've been married 5 years now and have twin girls of our own.
Friends: Destin Ferdun was my bestest friend. We kept in touch for several
years, but I lost track of him a couple years ago. I would love to find out
how he's doing now. I tended to hang out with the drama crowd and the
Madrigal singers. I still think about them quite a bit and wonder how
they've been.
Hobbies: Who has time for hobbies? I played softball for a while, but had to
quit when my schedule and the boys' schedules started conflicting too often.
I still read and sing every chance I get. I've also taken up skiing!
Kids: Greyson is 15 and gets his learner's permit next month (God help us
all!) and has started a chess club at school. He's quite good. Ashton is 14.
He's in a touring boys choir, plays the sax, and can't keep his nose out of
a book, either. Kayden & Alexis, my twins, are 20 months. They love to sing
and read, too.
Grade_school: Thomas Edison
Junior_high: Arden
Memorable_teachers: Mrs. McKenzie. She was a tough one, but she fair.
Favorite_memory: We were building the set for one of the musical productions
and someone had left a wrench on top of the ladder. Destin and I were
folding the ladder and the wrench fell on my head. Besides seeing quite a
few stars, I was fine until someone offstage yelled, "Blood!" I'll never
forget the look on Destin's face and how he tried to drag me across the
gymnasium to the nurse's office with yelling, "I can walk" the whole way.
Kind of an odd memory, but it still makes me laugh.
Story: No stories to share, but boy were those cast parties fun!

Occupation: Assistant Program Director, Music Director, & Afternoon
Air
Personality, KSFI-FM 100.3, Salt Lake City
Bio: I have been in radio since my Sophomore Year at Encina, but I started
getting paid for it just after graduation. While in school, I puttered
around the old KPOP, and ran the Dr. Ruth Westheimer show on Sunday Nights
(That's the only radio job I've ever been fired from...)After that, I worked
nights on K-100 (Top 40)in Marysville until July of 1986. After that I went
to Golden Oldies KWG-AM in Stockton as the overnight DJ. In January of 1988,
I moved to KWG's Adult Contemporary sister station, KYBB-FM (B101)as the
Midday Host, Music Director, and Program Director. In July of 1989, I got my
big break! I landed a job at Soft Rock KOST-FM in Los Angeles(Coast 103.5).
At the time, it was the #1 radio station in L.A. I started working weekends
there and in 1991, I became the Full-time Overnight host. During that time,
I filled in for all of the daytime hosts,and became the main fill-in person
for KOST's Morning Show. In February of 1998, I moved to KOST's main
competition, KBIG 104.3 FM as the Midday Host. I was regularly in the Top 5
among the 25-54 age bracket in LA from 10am-3pm. I also created and hosted
the #1 rated "Noontime Disco Workout" on KBIG. In February of 2002, I
moved back into management as the Assistant Program Director, Music
Director, & Afternoon Air Personality at KSFI-FM 100, in Salt Lake City,
Utah. We are the Number 1 radio station in the market. I also schedule the

for an AM Oldies station here, 1660 KXOL (which you can hear at night in
Sacramento, sometimes...)
Trivia: My wife, Brenda, and I were Pen Pals for 3 years before we began
dating in 1989. I have been in the Hollywood Christmas Parade (twice). I was

a contestant on the game show, "Debt" in 1997. I also used to host Disco
parties in Los Angeles at the Beverly Hilton Hotel with the World Famous
Boogie Knights (during one of which, Tori Spelling danced with me
inadvertently.
She was drunk..and then apologised to me, like I cared.)
Friends: Rich Francis, James Harding, Erich Yelvington, Don Avis,& Sandy

version of "The Terminator".
Grade_school: I went to so many, that it's ridiculous. Mainly Thomas Edison.
I also lived in Florida and North Carolina.

Park Rob said he would never drive with me again because I drove like "Speed
Racer & Dukes of Hazzard" roled into one!!! I've found a true driving home

all four tires. Hmm, too many beers maybe?

comments: I meet some really great people at
Encina & made some really good friends. I have to say that I went to school
with some pretty nasty stuck-up rich kids from Jonas Salk to Encina who
where not always nice to others for no reason at all. I hope those people
have changed for the better. Not everyone can be rich, pretty, handsome or
popular but that does not mean your less of a person. Now days those people
that are always made fun of or feel left out are killing those same type of
classmates in school. Thank God we grew up in a somewhat more innocent
world. I just wish success & happiness to those that we know...

Bio: living in various places - El Cerrito, Davis, Concord, New Orleans,
Sacramento and on my way back to the East Bay. I got a BA in Philosophy at
UCD and went out and did corporate america. Not a pretty site. I am
getting back into school - getting a teaching degree from CSU-Hayward for
English in middle or high school. I guess that got me thinking about high
school ... oh, those were the times.
Trivia: I have some artwork online at
www.wwoz.com, a community radio station in New Orleans that is the
bomb. It was a show called "No Broken Arrows" about being disabled and
still having a life.
Friends: My best friends were Katera Forbes and Lisa Nunziato. They still

Really.

that I was in a tiny farm school in the middle of the rice fields. You
don't want to know.
Memorable_teachers: Mrs. McKenzie inspired me to be a high school English
teacher. She was the BEST and let me read as many books as I wanted. Mr.
Figenshu was great too and really was always there for anyone who needed
someone to talk to. I saw him in Muir Woods once. Mr. Rollins was a riot,
until you passed a certain line - then watch out! Mr. Marelich and his
hair. And of course, Mac!

Occupation: Retail Sales Management
Bio: Attended ARC for about....3 weeks, taking art and english classes. Ended up taking a
job in retail at PayLess Drug in North Sacramento (Del Paso Blvd. & El Camino Ave.!
aka "The War Zone.") Stayed there from May of '87 until October of '92 when I
was offered a opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a new graphic design company.
Unfortunately, that crashed and burned and I returned to Pay Less. In June of 1996 I,
(after much foot dragging), went into management as a supervisor. In July of that same
year my wife (who I had met at the store in 1990,) and I moved our family out of
Sacramento and put down new roots in Newport, Oregon which is a little town right on the
coast. I secured a transfer to the Pay Less store in Newport as a supervisor and was much
alarmed when the company was bought straight out by Rite Aid paharmacy in December of
1996. We stuck to it and I accepted promotion to Assistant Manager in June of 1998. My
greatest "doings" since graduation was meeting and marrying my lovely wife
Marcella. When we met she had recently divorced and was raising her two young daughters.
Together, we created two more girls and now I have a housefull!
Trivia: Lance Ballance and I created "The Skippyheads" sophomore year in Mr.
Botello's photo class. It was a sloppy comic strip starring a bunch of the guys we hung
around with at school. 15+ years later ( on and wayyy off!) I'm still at it. We flunked
photo, by the way. The strips, for the most part, are sloppy and unpublishable. I did,
however, sit down late last year and started a brand new one that I've been actually
taking some time at doing. I'm up to about 170 newspaper type "dailies." When I
get about a years' worth I may submit them. Who knows?
Friends: Lance Ballance, James Kevin Harding, Jay Davis, Andy Greene, Mike Ward, Donald
Earl Avis. I have managed to stay in very close contact with Lance & Jim, (we were in
each others' weddings,) and have had contact with Jay, Andy and Mike. Mr. Avis went into
the Air Force and was never seen again (!)
Hobbies: If the weather's nice we're down at the beach (which is around the corner and
down the street...no kidding!) I do try do draw a little each day (sometime's at work ;) )
but most of the time my wife and I are running around taking care of our 4 daughters.
Kids: My step-daughters are Loretta Jean (12 years old,)and Amanda Christine (10
years old.) They were joined by Samantha Tyler in 1994 who is 6 now, and, our baby, Karina
Robin, who was born in 1996, a month before we moved to Oregon.
Grade_school: Cottage Elementary
Grade_school_friends: Stacey Wallace, Andy Greene and Mary Mackintosh from kindergarten
on. 6th grade was the best though. Mr. Hagwood's. Stacey, Andy, Jeff Watson, John
Nikelwicz, Mike Turner, Rich O'Brien, John Golden, Mike Turner, Derek Cabaniss, Vicki
Clift, Laura Albright, Ann Duane, Sally Howard, Susan Spencer and Roger "Rodgie
Dodgie" Allen. I was "Moose" on our "Mean Machine" football team.
Great memories.
Junior_high: Howe Avenue.
Junior_high_friends: Andy Greene, Jay Davis, James Kevin Harding, Mike Ward, Andy Budlong.
Memorable_teachers: Mr. Chambers, art class. Started off each class by telling everyone to
"take a tranquilizer and get yer coffee and doughnuts and settle down." Mr.
Dahlin in ceramics who warned everyone not to make "anything, and he meant anything
that even closley resembled a pipe or bong." Mr. Rollins, who looked up
"geek" in the dictionary because he kept hearing it in class. Upon finding it he
read aloud the definition, and loudly agreed that he had several "geeks" in his
class. Senior year: Mr. Adan, the new art teacher. Gave me the most profound and guiding
words, "Don't be a Zit."
Favorite_memory: Lots...Andy Greene, in the aforementioned ceramics class, asking the
substitute teacher for a pass because he was ill. She refused because she thought he was
bluffing and he promptly threw up all over the table. Jeff Watson and crew doing "The
Love Machine" at one of the Air band competitions. Lance Ballance mooning our P.E.
coach and getting caught doing it. And many, many more.
Story: Umm...I just did. I do have a regret that I was mostly a non-contribitor. I even
skipped our 10 year reunion on the basis that the people I hung around with in school
(Lance, Jim etc.) were the same ones I had stayed in very close contact with. Oh, well.

Occupation: Fraud/Review Analyst for Health Insurance Company
Bio: A year after graduation I met the man I would eventually marry, Jim Beck. We
spent many years working and living care-free {some might say irresponsibly} but we had a
great time and have few regrets. WE married in 1992, bought our home in 1994 and had
our baby-girl in 1996. I've spent almost 11 years with he same Health Insurance
company and I thoroughly enjoy my work in Fraud Investigations.
Trivia: My closest high-school friends will remember that I started living on my own in
the middle of my high school years and basically cut myself off from most of my family.
As the years have gone by I have gotten right back where I belong with my
family and couldn't even imagine not seeing them all the time. On a more
'interesting' note: The first date I had with my
husband ended in a motorcycle accident and we have been together ever since {both of us
recovered without incident}. Odd start to a life long relationship, huh?
Friends: Paige Richter, Jill Roberts, Jamie Simmons and Fawn Langhorst. Paige and I lost
contact on and off for years after high school but 'got back together' about 5 years ago.
She is now one of my closest friends and I'll be sure not to lose her again!
I speak to Jamie once in a blue moon on the phone but we rarely get to see
each other. Jill and I also speak to
and see each other infrequently but she and her family will always have a special place in
my heart also. None of us have spoken to Fawn since high school and we are sad about
that.
Hobbies: I enjoy rollerblading and biking although I do neither often enough. I
enjoy reading biographies of old movie stars and doing Creative memories.
Kids: Our daughter was born March 19, 1996, the day before her daddy's birthday. Her
name is Sydnee and she is the light of our lives. She is a beautiful, head-strong,
live personality and she keeps us on our toes. As of today {yeah for me!} I am only
working part-time so that I can be a mom to her more that evenings and weekends and I
think we are going to love it!

Memorable_teachers: Mr. Figenshu; I had alot of stuff going on in my life during my year
with him and he was such a great listener, advisor, teacher. I often think of him fondly
and think how lucky I was to have had him pass through my life.
Favorite_memory: The rallies. I loved them! I'm still a sucker for spirit.
Story: About Mr. Carroll---I had him for a 2nd semester class which I rarely ever
attended. The day before graduation after he agreed to pass me {probably just to get
me out of there!} he said to me, "I hope you don't screw up in life the way you
screwed up in my class". I want him to know that I never forgot those words and
that I DIDN'T. Thank you.
