HEAR YE, HEAR YE-
The Class of 1987 is celebrating our 20 Year High School Reunion on August
11, 2007 at 6:00pm. It’s going to be a wonderful evening aboard the Delta
King. If you haven’t already done so, please
submit your payment ($75/person) ASAP to:
Encina H.S. Class Reunion
217 Berkswell Ct.
Roseville, CA 95747
A lot of people have already sent in their money, so it looks like we’re
going to have a great turn out. Don’t be the
one that misses out! It’s going to be a lot of fun catching up with all of
our old friends and seeing what everyone is doing
now. You will absolutely positively regret not coming. Don’t let the fact
that you’ve put on a few extra pounds or lost a
little (or a lot) of hair stop you from coming. Who cares what you look
like! It’s all about catching up and seeing how everyone is doing now. I,
for one, am excited to see all of you, especially
after talking to many of you on the phone. I can already hear all of the
“Remember when…” stories.
The festivities start at 6:00pm. If you’ve paid prior to the event, then
your name tag (and guest’s name tag, if applicable) will be
at the greeters table upon arrival. Your name tag will be your entry
ticket into the reunion. Although, there will be several signs
indicating where our reunion is being held, it’s in the Paddlewheel
Banquet Room aboard the Delta King in Old Sacramento. Don’t forget your
dancing shoes, because there’s a nice little dance floor and we’ll of course
be enjoying tunes from the “Way Bitchin’ ’80’s. We’re also going to be
auctioning off some very cool gifts, so please bring extra cash to buy lots
of raffle tickets. Lastly, rather than having a formal sit down dinner, we
will be having dinner type hors d’oeuvres, such as chicken & beef skewers
w/Teriyaki sauce, salmon Florentine, penne pasta w/pesto sauce, grilled
vegetable, Caesar salad…you get the idea..and dessert, of course.
We’re looking forward to seeing you all on August 11th. Until then, take
care!

Occupation: Criminal Defense Attorney
Bio: Working and going to school. Graduated from St. Mary's in 1992. Got
an MA in English in 1998 from Sac State and a law degree (JD) in 2002
from McGeorge. I was admitted to the Bar in 2002, did a couple years in
civil, hated civil, and got a job with the alternate public
defender's office in Madera County, California.
Have been having fun practicing criminal law and
dependency law. I love the job. After a few years, I
hope to come back to the Sacramento area to practice criminal law (or
maybe the coast).
Got married in 1997 and had kids in 2001 and 2005. Occasionally, I
watch my kids and think how great they are and then it dawns on me
that these are my kids! I am a father (and maybe a
good one).
Another wierd thing is that high school seems like a lifetime away.
It's like it didn't happen to me. I look at old pictures and don't
remember when they were taken. Actually, a lot of things that
occurred after high school seem like a lifetime
away. It's weird. Take care, every one.
Friends: Bob McPherson
Hobbies: Kids take up all my free time
Kids: Larissa Colette Beauchamp Age 4, David
Fraser Beauchamp Age 1
My kids are both very young. They seem ahead of the curve (although my
son, David, scares me by climbing on high stuff). Both seem smarter
than
I ever was and have fun personalities. They are always laughing. And
they make me laugh, too.
Grade_school: Merryhill
Favorite_memory: Most of my favorite memories from this time did not
occur at school (and I wasn't really happy at school anyway). I think
my favorite memories were drinking beer and wine
coolers (do people still drink wine coolers?) down
at the river on spring days in 1986 and 1987 with
friends (from Encina and elsewhere). Also, Bob McPherson and I
skipped school one day and took my mom's Mustang convertable to San
Francisco and hung out there. Nothing interesting. It was just being
there.
Story: I honestly can't remember a thing.

EX-SACRAMENTAN DIES IN BELIZE PLANE CRASH
A 1987 Encina High School graduate and his bride were killed Friday in a
plane crash in Belize blamed on Tropical Storm Gamma's heavy rain and
winds.
Newlyweds Douglas Scratchley Jr. and Cristy Dy Scratchley of St.
Petersburg, Fla., and the Belizean pilot were aboard a private plane
belonging to an exclusive jungle resort owned by the filmmaker
Francis Ford Coppola. All three reportedly died in
the crash when the plane fell into a ravine,
according to US officials in Belize. Civil aviation
authorities in Belize said heavy winds and rains from Gamma were a
factor in the crash. The couple were married Nov. 12 in St.
Petersburg, said David May of Sacramento, Douglas
Scratchley's stepfather.

Occupation: Grad Student - Finishing my Masters, back in Sacramento for the
time being. Finishing my program in Indiana was not really an option.
So, I came back to Sacramento to get 'er done! :)
I will HOPEFULLY be graduating Fall 2005. I plan
on returning to Indiana in the summer. Right now I am
shacking up with my sister, Jen.
Bio: Lots of things. Working mostly in an administrative capacity for the
first couple years after getting married SO DANG YOUNG! :) Started
going
back to school at 23 - did the community college/work full time thing,
finally transfered to CSUS and got my BA in psych. Took 2 yrs off and
got into the graduate program for counseling. In
October 2003, Tim was transfered to Indiana when
he accepted a promotion for his company, so we
moved! I've recently returned to Sac to finish my program and then it's back
to Indiana.
Trivia: Probably the most ironic thing is the fact that I ended up marrying
Tim Davis - the guy who broke my heart the summer before my Junior
year.
Most of you who were friends with me already know *that* story!
Anyway...we've been married now for about 17 years. Damn, we're old!
Friends: My best friends kinda changed some over the years. Freshman year -
Becca, Debbie, Molly. Sophomore year - Trudie, Noel Hayes and Shannon
Maile were added to the list, along with Pandora
Callen, Linda Terkoski and Trina Pace. Junior year
- Jerod & Jodi Pannell and Senior year - Alisa Grubb.
Hobbies: Well, surprisingly, I am really good at playing Golden Tee! This is
serious business back in Indiana. I have always been interested in
all thing metaphysical/spriritual, but not enough
to be fully devoted to any one thing. Oh yeah, I
fancy myself a decent kareoke singer!
Kids: Yikes! Well, we don't have any (yet). I am hoping that Tim and I will
start our family once I am done with school. I do have a fabulous
nephew,
though!
Grade_school: Creekside 2nd grade, Greer 3rd and Winterstein 4-6th.
Grade_school_friends: No one from Creekside I can remember. Greer was where
I met Larry Veteto, Sean David and Greg Davis for the first time.
Winterstein, though, was where most of my friends hailed from: Debbie B,
Molly, James Jones, Chris Krell, Danny Reid
Junior_high: Jonas Salk
Junior_high_friends: Most of the Winterstein folks, if not all. Some of my
good friends from JS went on to other schools - Dion Pittman, Keith
Calcagno, Paige Johnson, Kerry Ritter to name a few
Memorable_teachers: Figenshu - being so disgusted by the lack of enthusiam
amongst us students, that he threw his book in the garbage. And, of
course, when he booted me out of class for needing
to get the last word in an arguement.
Eric Dahlin - Just for being so cool, but also for teasing me about
my boyfriend, Paul - encouraging me, sometimes
with money, to break up with him.
Takeuchi (Chambers now..I believe) Just for being inventive and
creative in teaching English. And, always giving
great feedback that students could use to improve
their skills. Mr. Record - For becoming so
disturbed by a fellow student poking fun at him
that he threw his notebook across the room! and
finally, Ms. Gregori - For doing a complete 180 in
AP English my senior year. She went from super
cool to extremely difficult and bizzarre.
Favorite_memory: All my favorite memories at Encina took place when school
was not in session (wink). There's one barefoot night I can remember
distinctly, but I am not at liberty to discuss it.
Story: I know many interesting stories, but I don't wanna get anyone
in trouble.

school football, being late for practice, games,
etc!! Wouldn't it be fun to play just one more game?!
HARLAN....how about an Alumni Football game?

influence.

Occupation: Taking Summer off to be with kids. My daughter starts
Kindergarten in September and I want to
take summer off to do fun things with my kids.
Bio: After I graduated from Encina I went to Sac State for a year, that did
not work out. So, got into Mortgage Lending and have been doing it
every
since. Up until May 2004 I was the Operations Manager for RBC Mortgage.
Now I am taking the summer off. My husband is a Sacramento Police
Officer, with his schedule it benefits us for me
to stay at home for a while. We have lived in Elk
Grove for 4 years now. We bought our first home here back
in June of 2000 before my daughter turned one. Now we have two
beautiful kids. I have been married for 6 1/2
years. Can't wait until the 7 year
itch is over!! I party with my friends still. We hang out at 74-40 on
Saturday nights sometimes. I go out with Michelle Stampp (now
Ingram). Nicole Rene Gagne (now Giddings) and my
kids play with Lan Nguyen's kids (now Soohoo).
But I have alot of parties and go out. You party animals
need to give me a call. Oh. and by the way, that Senior Picture in
the year book. Don't let that fool you. I am
fine as ever. As most of you fellas that saw me at out
ten year class reunion can agree to that. See you at the 74-40. For those of
you who do not get out as much, it's in Citrus Heights on Auburn Blvd. off
Antelope.
Trivia: Nothing, except I still got it! Remember I was voted best
dancer in our class. So, watch out now!! Hi
Trudy!!! So, where is Joe Yates? I miss
all you people. Let's kick it some time, why wait until the next reunion.
Friends: My best friends were Michelle Stampp, Lan Nugyen,Rebecca Anderson
and Ann Robb. I have lost contact with Ann Robb after 1988/1989. I
had
other friends in high school that were cool too. You know who you are.
Hobbies: My hobbies are dancing, watching NBA and NFL on TV. Go Niners.
Damn those Sacramento Kings!!!! I am also into camping, crafts and
spending time with my kids and husband.
Kids: Zariah Iman Lewis, 4; Sean J. Lewis, Jr. 1
My daughter Zariah will be five in July. She was born 6 days before my 30th
birthday. I sware she is a little me. She so smart. She is dancing
and
singing and she loves her little brother. They grow up so fast. She will
be staring Kindergarten this fall. My son, just turned one on June
11th and he is getting into everything. He is a
happy baby. They were both happy baby's from day
one. Life is wonderful when you have kids. I just wish
they would not grow up so fast.
Grade_school: St. Philomenes
Grade_school_friends: Sabrina Abbott, David Lawand and Dan Swink.
Memorable_teachers: Mr. Figinshue, because he used to call me and Denitra
and Michelle the Pointer Sisters. He made me laugh by making Biology
fun. God rest his soul. There was Mrs. Woo my all
time favorite. She is still there too. She was
cool and related to us all. Love you Mrs. Woo.
Favorite_memory: THE BARS!!!! We felt like prisoners when they put the bars
up. There was a picture of some of the students behind those bars in
the
Sacramento Bee. That was interesting. Also, the bomb threats. We got to go
home! Yeh!!!! LUNCH!!! They took away open campus. Mcdonalds and
Carls Jrs. they were happy about that. Nothing
like being banned from a public place.
Story: I liked this one guy during high school and guesse what? He liked me
too. I will not say any names. We don't want T.B to get mad at me
again.
But she is married now and so am I so, it does not matter now if she get's
mad. We were dating(?) the same guy for a split. Lets call it
truce!!! Luv Ya!!!

Occupation: Classified Personnel Specialist at Washington Unified School
District Office in West Sacramento.
Bio: I received my BA degree in Humanities and Religious Studies from CSUS.
I married Brandon, a high school English and Drama teacher, on January 3,
2004, we closed escrow on our first house on March 31, and I just started my
job at Washington Unified two weeks ago. It's been an amazing year, so far,
but I'm hoping for a lull really soon.
Friends: My best friends in high school were Nicole Cross, Cherish Cooley
and Morgana Sprague, and, honestly, I've lost contact with all of them.
Hobbies: At the moment, Brandon and I are enjoying working on the new house
and in the yard. I love to garden. We like to camp whenever we can (we were
registered at REI for the wedding) and love to go wine tasting. We are

Memorable_teachers: I remember being really inspired by my English teachers,
Mrs. Takeuchi and Mrs. Pierce. In fact, I began college as an English major,
not a Humanities major. I remember Mr. Dutton really well, mostly because I
had to struggle through two years of Geometry with him. (Yep, I repeated it.
Lame!)
Favorite_memory: Drill Team was one of my favorite times because I was on
the team with some of my best friends.

After graduating from St. Mary's College of
California, I looked around for a job, didn't know what I wanted to do and
ended up working in Yosemite National Park for a few months. It was a
tremendous experience for me and I ended up meeting the woman whom I am
now married to: Dedra. After Yosemite, I took a long road trip with Dedra
across the country.
A few days after the trip, I enrolled in a graduate program at CSUS. I
graduated from there with a Master's Degree in English.
While at CSUS, I got a job with the state doing public relations for
the Smog Check program and the Bureau of Automotive Repair. I spent a few
years there and enjoyed my time. During that period, I got married and
bought a house.
My wife and I were married in Yosemite on October 26, 1997, after
dating about 4 years.
In 1999, I decided that life at the State wasn't enough for me, so I
quit and enrolled in Law School at McGeorge School of Law, here in
Sacramento. I was in the top 13% of my class and made Law Review and have
two published articles to my credit. One was recently made required
reading in an Elder Law class at McGeorge.
I graduated with distinction (sort of like cum laude) in May 2002 and
took the Bar in July 2002.
In December 2001, my wife and I had our first child, Larissa Colette

Occupation: Personnel Specialist for Youth Authority
Bio: I went to San Jose State for one year...to bowl, not get an education.
I then moved to Fresno and attended one year at their Junior College and
then came home. I've taken a few classes here and there at American River
College, but never finished. I've worked in accounting, as an
administrative assistant (more than once), and finally landed with the state
about 4 1/2 years ago.
I got married in March of '96 to a great guy named Roger. I had my first
son Taylor in September of '97 and my second son Skyler in June of '01. We
bought a house in North Highlands the same month we got married and are
still there.
Friends: My friends were Wendy Onstine (and yes I finally got a hold of
her), Denise Souza (saw her a few times after graduation, but haven't been
in touch since), Cherish Cooley (we ran into each other at Jury Duty and
have occasionally e-mailed), Kim Trehern (haven't seen her since graduation,
but e-mailed recently).
Hobbies: I actually gave up bowling last year when I was pregnant and with 2
kids I just don't have the time anymore. Our family has quads (4-wheel
atv's) and we recently purchased a Weekend Warrior (travel trailer that
hauls toys!!!) so that we can go as a family to places like Sand Mountain
and Pismo Beach. When my husband finds more places with sand dunes, we'll
be there too! We also enjoy going to drag races and motorcross races. I'm
sure my 4 year old will soon have us involved in some other things such as
BMX or go kart racing...he loves to go fast!!!
Kids: Taylor is 4 years old (almost 5) and Skyler is 11 mo. old. I never
thought I'd end up with 2 boys. They are so much fun! The oldest looks
just like his dad and the youngest looks like me. I think we're done !?!
Grade_school: K-3 at Thomas Edison and 4-6 at Mission Avenue
Grade_school_friends: Wendy Onstine, Tyrone Harding, Sparkie Davis...that's
all I can remember...K-3 was a long time ago!
Junior_high: Jonas Salk
Junior_high_friends: Wendy Onstine, Al Phillips (I had the biggest crush on
him and he liked my best friend, Wendy), Tyrone Harding & Sparkie Davis (if
my memory is correct). I had other friends, but they went on to Rio. There
is one other person that I'd love to find and her name was Tracy Marco.
Memorable_teachers: Mr. Dahlin, no explanation needed, he was great! Mrs.
Young because she gave me my first job. Mr. Figenshu, only because he
locked me out of a final and my dad had to come down to the school. Oh, and
what about Mr. Record who tried to fail me because I got the chicken pox. I
had to go to night school at AR because of him.
Favorite_memory: When I finally made the drill team my senior year, after 4
attempts. I think they felt sorry for me. Oh well, it was fun for me!

Occupation: Operations Manager
Bio: After graduating from Encina, I attended American River College for a
couple of years but just couldn't stay focused enough to stick with with it
and finish up. "You're a bright student, Erik, but you really need to apply
yourself", the instructors would say. They were, of course, correct. I ended
up moving out and going to work full time to support myself and am still
with that same company today. Anyway, school was school and work is work but
I always found myself drawn to things I was really intense about. Biology
was always an interest and photography, as well. In the early 90's, there
was an explosion in popularity of reptiles as pets and several
special-interest magazines appeared. An acquaintance who knew I had a
background in this field suggested I submit some work to them. To make a
long story short, I now specialize in photographing venomous reptiles and
arthropods (bugs, more or less), have travelled to Mexico to shoot
crocodiles and rattlesnakes twice, have become pretty good friends with many
zoo
Trivia: I've been stung by scorpions, bitten by a venomous lizard, slept
beneath a tree full of vampire bats, and caught more than 1,000 snakes.
Friends: Carlo Gomez and Alex Philo were my best friends. I remember Cathy
Mitchell and her boyfriend BJ (don't recall his last name), too. Have no
idea where any of them are today.
Hobbies: The travel and photography, of course. It's difficult for some
people to understand how intentionally putting yourself in a position where
you might be gravely injured could be enjoyable, yet I find it highly
rewarding. I also speak and organize field trips a couple of times each year
for our local reptile and amphibian study group, the Northern California
Herpetological Society.
Grade_school: Hubert H. Bancroft Elementary
Grade_school_friends: Family moved after grade school, so only new friends

Memorable_teachers: Mr. Figenshu, for his laid-back demeanor, Mrs. Kojima,

Occupation: Swimming Pool Technician
Bio: After graduation, I worked @ Vic's IGA. I dropped out of college after 2 years
of not knowing what I wanted to do. Then married my high school sweetheart, Kristine
Monday. I went part-time at the grocery store and started servicing swimming pools
part-time for another company. I then joined a band. The three occupations
were a tough juggling act, until I left the grocery store, the band broke up and I started
my own pool business. I'm still happily married to Kristine and we have a son who is
now 2 years old, born in 1998. Currently, I'm building my pool business and enjoying
life as much as possible.
Trivia: Was in an alternative rock band playing the saxaphone, back up vocals and
percussion. We made a tape and played from Sacramento to San Francisco. Got to
open up for some great bands like Cracker, Cake, and many others. I still have the old
Chevy truck.

part time of course, but still working at it. I ran into Amey (Bate) Davis at

Occupation: Self Employed...Trade Winds Appliance Parts and Service
Bio: I was trained by an appliance service company learning how to diagnose and repair
restaurant equipment, that lasted for about four years. Then the opportunity came
along for me to embark on a journey being a delivery manager for the leading
pharmeceutical services company dealing with hospitals and convelescent homes, this lasted
for about four years. During the Pharmacy days: My Father "Lew" (provider of the
free snacks), (ha ha ha - football team) was diagnosed with cancer and passed away near
the end of 1994. I then decided to move westward to Maui, Hawaii. I landed on this little
rock on January 5th, 1995. I held an engineering job with one of the largest time share
companies for the majority of my first three years here. I then found a need on the island
that very few people were doing. You guessed it !!! I opened my first business called
Trade Winds Appliance. I offered appliance repair service to the restaurant industry here.
I started it part time while I was involved with the engineering position I held. It
grew quite fast and I eventually was able to bid farewell to the engineering job. Now,
three years after I started the business, I made a website to sell parts to people that
are in need of such things.
Trivia: I am now married for the second time. The first bride; I won't divulge her name
(out of respect) but some of you may know who she is (hint hint). My second wife
Geanelli just gave birth to my first and only child, her second child (from a previous
marriage). I met her here in Hawaii 6 months after I moved to Maui. She and I are doing
very well and are planning to buy a house soon.

lost contact with alot of people except Rick King, and Tom Toth.
