Occupation: Motor Vehicle Technician for the Department of Motor
Vehicles
Bio: I have had an interesting life the only way that I could make it.
I got married right out of high school it seems to an alumni Vince
Redoble. We have been married for 15 years going on 50 it seems.
Raising our daughter Laura who also is 15. I have worked at so many
different places and have seen so many things that I wouldn't trade
them for not going to college. Sometimes I feel
like I have done a lot and then nothing compared
to those that have made something of themselves.
All in all though I wouldn't change a darn thing.
Trivia: Our daughter is a sophomore in high school and goes to The Met
Sacramento. She is an intern at Wolfe Graphic Design. She is
Heavily into manga Japanese art and drawing
amazing pictures. She recently produced a web
design that her internship submitted, and the company
picked her design! She is my most wonderful and beautiful creation.
She is my trivia.
Friends: My best friend in high school was Tami Rhea Hobbs. She passed
away in 1996 of a blood clot in her heart. I was also seen around
campus with Vince Redoble and Floyd Burt. Have lost contact with
some people that had mattered in life.
Hobbies: Hobbies besides my daughter, are knitting/crocheting, antiquing
when I can afford it, day trips to places that I want to remember,
and cultural events that may daughter needs for
her school projects.
Kids: Laura is the most amazing kid I have ever met. She is what I
wished I could have been when I was in school. She gets the grades
and is the social butterfly. She is the funniest
person around. She is sensitive, calm, passionate
about things that matter to her, outgoing to a
fault, she has no fear of new things, always is willing to try new
things at least once, has great plans for her life. I am and will
always be her biggest and loudest cheerleader and fan.
Grade_school: Hazel Fischer Elementary School, Arnold, CA
Junior_high: Did not attend a junior high school. My elementary went
K-8.
Memorable_teachers: Mr. Tracy, well duh that's a given. When I had no
friends when I first moved to sac and started Encina I could be found
at lunch time in Mr Tracy's class. Mrs. Leaf
because she didn't take any guff from anyone.
Favorite_memory: Hmmm I wasn't in the circles that most of my classmates
were in. Most of my memories aren't about classmates but about
teachers
and what they taught beyond the subjects they taught.
Story: Many and in the scheme of things left to die as Urban Legends.

Occupation: Owner/Operator Dental Laboratory; Dental Ceramist
Bio: After leaving Encina I graduated with a 4.0 in 1990 from another
school. Go figure. Worked all kinds of food service jobs until I decided to
become resposible and became a chocolatier. Moved to Portland, OR in 1998 to
open a store for Godiva. Left the company but stayed here. (If you've ever
seen the Cascade Mountains, you'll know why.) Worked in an internal medicine
office for several years then wanted to do something artistic. I began
working in the dental lab field sculpting teeth. I opened a crown and bridge
lab with a friend last September and finally love what I do for a living.
Carving under a microscope is Zen-like and being self employed is wonderful
after working two jobs, seven days a week for 4 years to afford it. I
recently moved from downtown to a suburb at the mouth of the Columbia River
Gorge and had to buy my first car since I've lived in Oregon. (Had to,
it's 25 miles to the nearest cool shopping district.) Got to see St. Helens'
recent activity!
Trivia: I'm a completely different person. It took many years to overcome
the trauma that was Encina.
Friends: Shawna Denney was my only real friend at Encina. I try to call a
couple times a year - Where are you Freakita? Big Mike couln't find you on
your birthday!

being.

Trivia: Arrested for being a real dumb ass one year after graduation. Spent 2 1/2 yrs in

license number on stolen checks. It has cost me $60,000 in court fee's, 45 days in court,
and over a year and a half to get my identity back. When in essence a simple phone call to
my employer would have told the justice system they had the wrong person. Just proof, that
descisions/mistakes made, will affect you for the rest of your life. Anybody reading this

Occupation: Mommy and a Homemaker
Bio: Since I left 3/4 of the way through my Junior year, I graduated from Oroville High
School. Andy Cloutier ('90 and Matt Cloutier's twin) and I were still together and
married in August 1993. The same day of our wedding, we began our drive to San
Antonio, TX., for Andy to report back to basic training in the Army before they shipped us
off to Colorado. Long story short, we separated for a while, and I moved to Santa
Barbara to live with some friends. I did return to Colorado to try and work things
out, unsuccessfully. I do however want to make something very clear - Andy was and
is a very loving and caring person who I know I hurt very deeply. I have made some
very big mistakes in life, but all I can do is learn from them. To Andy and his
family and friends, again I am truly sorry for everything. But on to bigger and
better things. Since that time, I moved back to Sac. and held various administrative
positions. I also rededicated my life to Christ and have been so blessed by Him!
I did remarry, my Best Friend Matt (Bella Vista, '89) and have been very happy for
the past 3+ years.
Trivia: I guess I'm pretty boring when it comes to trivia. I did continue to sing at
several public events, including a Sacramento Knights game at Arco Arena (the National
Anthem). That was such a rush.
Friends: There were so many, I can only name a few: Stacy Cole (from Jr. High),
Esther King, Bob Hummel (who I miss terribly since my divorce), Chris Cheng - where are
you?, Gena Bradbury, Gina Baker, Chris Leiser, Jen Jeffords, Mina Hamilton, Amy Schnieder,
Deanna Narvaez(90), Shannon Staiger, Liz Glaholt(89)and Michelle Dubonnet(89)
Hobbies: Playing with my girls (they are the light of our lives), having lunch with other
friends/moms, and when it strikes me (usually the night before a holiday or event) crafts
for gifts.
Kids: Kaitlyn is two and just the spitting image of her father. She's also a daddy's
girl. She has just recently become this "big kid" with the way she acts
and the things that she says. It cracks me up all day! Olivia is only 3 and
half months and is definately my daughter - Yea!, this one looks like me! She is
such a smiler and is "talking" more and more each day. The
girls are 1 week shy of two years apart which makes for a very busy month of February.
They have a website at kat.liv.tripod.com

Junior_high_friends: There were so many, I do remember Jon Meckfessel and Gina Baker

was always encouraging and supportive.

Occupation: Office Technician
Bio: I am a single mother of two wonderful boys. I left Encina my Jr. year because I
got pregnant with my son. I transfered to a school for parenting mothers and
continued my education. I am now working with the State of California as an Office
Technician. I have been working there for almost 2 years. Before working with
the State I was a child care provider for about six years. I miss it in a way, but
then again I enjoy being around adults.
Trivia: The only interesting thing that has happen to me is about 8 years ago I gave my
life to the Lord. No, I am not a Holy Roller as some people would say. I just
love the Lord. I can honestly say that it is only by his grace I have made it this
far. Being a young parent at the age of 17 and having to raise my children on my own
has been a struggle. Because I have given my life to Him there is so much peace and
love in my life. I know He is always there when I need him and that He is that
father to my children. I don't want to see my boys going down the same path that I
went down. I don't want to see them become teen fathers or into drugs just as I was.
I want to be an example to them and the only way that could happen is by changing
my life around for the good. And let me tell you, there is no better way than Jesus.
Friends: I remember some of my closest friends who I have not talked to in a long time.
Shayla, Freda, Rachel Guzman, and many many more.

Occupation: Director of Health Information Management
Bio: After our sophomore year, I moved and finished school at Mira Loma High. I was
not happy about this move and did not like going there. After graduating, I then
moved to Austin, Texas for 7 years and went to college out there. I went to Austin
Community College for a few years and worked at a 485 bed hospital in the medical records
department. After a few years of school, I needed to pick a career. I then got
accepted at Southwest Texas State University in the Health Information Management Program.
I graduated in 1997 and received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Health
Information Management. I then went on to pass the National Exam to become a
Registered Health Information
Management Administrator. I worked at St. David's Hospital for 6 years in the
Medical Records Deparment . After
graduating, I was promoted to evening shift supervisor. I gained a lot of management
experience and after a year
decided that I needed a change. I then moved back home to be near my family. I love
being back. I now am the
Director of Medical Records at a Psychiatric Hospital in Sacramento. I enjoy my job a lot.
I have also met a wonderful
guy, who I am engaged to marry on August 4th, 2001. Justin and I have been together for 2
years now. He is truly
wonderful and I knew he was the one I was going to spend the rest of my life with after
our second date. Unfortunately,
he was in a horrible jet-skiing accident last July and compound fractured both bones in
both legs. We went through
some really tough times, but I believe that it has brought us closer together. He is
doing much better and is finally
starting to be able to walk again. He and I are wonderful together and I couldn't
ask for anything better.
Trivia: I have traveled all over. I have been to Italy, Austria, Hungary, the
Bahamas, Cancun, Cozumel, Hawaii, and soon Cabo San Lucas in October. I have also
traveled all over the United States.
Friends: My good friends were Amy Rhoads (89), Johanna Jones (91), Anna Price (91), Carrie
Williams (89), and Gina Baker (91). I still talk with Johanna, Amy and Gina. I don't

memory was when Johanna and I used to sneak out at night and everytime we would come home,
we would have to push my car down the driveway and I would always accidentally hit the
horn. We were always trying to be so quiet and then I would hit the horn. It
never failed. I also had a lot of fun at the parties we went to at Libby Glaholt's

Bio: After graduation I went off to UCSB and earned a B.A. in English. I sang in the
gospel choir, joind a sorority (for a short time) and fell in love with Aaron all over
again. ( Remember him, I brought him to senior homecoming.) After I graduated
we moved back to my original stomping ground in San Luis Obispo County. Aaron went
to Cal Poly while I struggled to figure out who exactly I wanted to be when I grew up.
After a few months working at a clothing store, my life long dream of being a
teacher resurffaced. I started the credential program in January and had my first
class in September. Aaron and I got engaged the same week. One year later we
were married and bought our first home in Atascadero. I continued to teach and we
were blessed with the birth of our son, Blake. He is the greatest joy I have ever
known. So now I teach full time, mommy full time and try to keep the house clean in
the meantime. I could not be happier. Well unless we were having another baby.
Hopefully next Spring.

party.

also love to do Creative Memories scrapbooks with friends.
Kids: Our son Blake is the sweetest little guy I have ever seen. His smile lights up
my life and his giggles melt my heart. He loves anything to do with balls. We

absolutely amazing. I wish I was that coordinated.

Occupation: market research interviewer
Bio: Most of you would probably recognize my nickname more than my real one. It was Andre
the Giant. I was called that so often, even some the guys I ran with didn't know that
David was my real name.I stayed in Sac for another year and a half after graduation before
moving to Missoula, MT. Yes, Montana. I grew up in a town about the same size as Missoula
(pop. about 60,000) and after I adjusted from living in a city to a smaller town again, I
have felt at home here. I became a cook about six years ago which I did until two knee
surgeries in as many years forced me off my feet and into a sit down job. I found my
current work to feed and house my wife Melanie and I til I get out of school as a web
designer. I met my lovely wife in August 1998. We dated briefly before realizing that we
were meant for one another and so got married. We've been married now for almost 18
months. I know I started late, but I wasn't ready to marry before then. Hell, I wasn't too
sure I was ready to do it when I did, but I have never doubted that it was the right thing
to do.
Trivia: Like I said, I've had two knee surgeries (same problem, same knee), am due for a
third for the same thing (again on the same knee) and need at least one surgery on the
left one to remove a bone chip in it. I also took up fishing again when I moved up here
and during the recovery from my last surgery, I took up fly fishing, a sport that is
terribly addicting to some people and a collossal waste of time to others. I guess it all
depends on your personality. Since I was already an avid fisherman, I fell into the former
category and have gone pretty much from avid to rabid. Oh well, Melanie still loves me
though she doesn't even pretend to understand!
Friends: Rick Rhea was my best friend and is the one I'd like to get hold of the most.
Through a combination of stupidity and fear (it's a long story), I let him go and I would

Heidi and Wendy Flora (twins), Craig Johnson, Paul (I forget his last name), Chris

result of a career will be because then you'll be hounding me with free advice. :0)
My husband is a Graphic Designer - "Littleguy Graphics". He is also
putting together a portfolio of a cartoon, called "SlimToonz". He is very
artistic, so his brain is another atmosphere. Don't ask me how we communicate.
I work at Families First in Davis. My job is to make sure that we remain compliant
with the California Licensing regulations. We service level 12 and 14 Severelly
Emotionally Disturbed boys. It's fun but sad, too.

a Ripley's event). They were both three days late. And, my birthday is still
MARCH 4th. Get those cards in the mail!

Hamilton, Candie Graham, Craig Shaffer, Nikki Panella, Amy Schneider, Johanna Jones, Shawn
Larson, Rosie Gomez, and others too.
Hobbies: Hobbies: Volleyball-volleyball-volleyball. I play, coach and ref in a
couple of leagues. I also play basketball. Music is a big part of my life also
(instruments).
I also, very much love just sitting on the couch watching my two boys and my husband
rough-house on the floor. Their squeals are the cutest thing I've ever heard.
Kids: Alexander Juarez Maybury - 2.5 years. Talks a lot, speaks spanish, can
clothesline his little brother in an instant, favorite word is "stop it" and has
the most beautiful face that I've ever seen. Nickname: "Havoc",

therapy for that), loves to laugh and is the happiest child in the morning (obviously does
not take after his father!). Nickname: "chaos" (He will destroy anything
that you leave unattended for more than a heartbeat.), "#55",

Cheng, Alfreda Robinson, Valerie Meriwether
Memorable_teachers: Mrs. McGuire - she made me scared of John Steinbecks "the grapes
of wrath". Mr. Neezy - he believed in me, ALOT! Ms Mesquita - she spoke
the "chosen" language. Mr. Drawbert - he taught me basketball. Mrs.
Sutliff - she made me love Chemistry.
Favorite_memory: Spanish class - Dawn Hart's and my "gingerbread" video.
Getting sent out of history class because I smart-mouthed the sub (who was a punk to begin
with). AND, being changed from an Apache to a Bulldog. Stupid.
Story: Dawn - Halloween senior year! Do you remember McDonald's? Speaking of
Dawn, I remember the time we walked home from school, through the back field and a third
grader threw rocks at her. We waited with her until the police came. 'nuf
said. I hope she's not in therapy for that, I don't want to scar her.

Occupation: Campus Ministry
Bio: Back in high school, I never imagined that I would ever end up doing what I do today.
I was planning on becoming a rich and famous professional baseball player who flew
a private airplane during my time off, and I was on track to meet my dreams when we all
graduated from Encina.
I moved to Los Angeles to play baseball and study aerospace engineering at the University
of Southern California. In about one month's time however, something happened that
suddenly, drastically, and permanently changed my life and my priorities forever...I
became a Christian. (Yikes!) I never grew up in church, so I had no idea what kind of life
might lie ahead. All I knew is that I would never be the same after surrendering
everything to God. I mention all this because I soon switched my major to philosophy and
religion, began preparing for campus ministry, and eventually retired from collegiate
baseball.
Directly after graduating from USC in 1995, my wife and I got married (we met during
college) and we both went into college campus ministry, specifically at USC in Los
Angeles. In September of 1999, we moved to North Carolina to work with several of
our local college campus ministries (Duke, UNC, etc.) in the Raleigh-Durham area. (I
had never really heard much about this part of the country except from that movie
"Bull Durham".) Presently, my wife and I spend most of our time with
international students in our ministry.
Even though I never did play pro baseball or learn to fly a plane (yet), this adventure of
a life gets more exciting every day, and I only have one major regret...that I didn't
surrender my life to Jesus sooner. No, my life isn't problem-free, and it is far
from "perfect" (school loans are a constant reminder of that!), but it is more
fulfilling than I ever expected.
Trivia: I've had the chance to travel to China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and the
Philippines. Also, I'm presently learning Mandarin Chinese.
Friends: Seth Lombardy, Chris Cheng, John Meckfessel, Niki Panella, Mina Hamilton, Tanya
Monier ('90) Unfortunately, I've lost touch with just about everyone from Encina.
Hobbies: Reading, traveling, learning about other cultures, languages, and especially
eating international food!
Kids: Our only son, Joshua, was born in April of 1999. He's presently 16 month's
old, and he enjoys drooling, running, and stealing other kids' toys (we're working on
that.)
Memorable_teachers: Ginny Grossenbacher (English) was my favorite teacher because she
treated us like people with a bright future. Not that the other teachers didn't, but
she truly believed in her students. Also, she gave me a good grade even though I
didn't think I deserved it. I also liked Mr. Dutton (Math) just because he was a
good teacher, even though most of us gave him a hard time every now and then.
Favorite_memory: Without a doubt, it was when we ended our infamous 28-game losing streak
(in football) against Mira Loma in the fall of 1990. The whole football team felt
like we won the superbowl!

Occupation: Outreach Specialist/SW Market
Bio: Several things have crossed my path sice graduation. I went to Southern
California College, now Vanguard University, directly after Highschool. This college
is located in Costa Mesa, Ca about 20 min from Disneyland. After graduating with a
degree in Theatre Arts, I worked. That got very boring after about three years so I
took off t o travel. I spent six months traveling the East Coast. On my way there I
was lucky enough to visit Minnisota, Chicago and Illinois, while there is stayed in North
Carolina, spent time in Philadelphi, Virginia and New York. I met the love of my
life while I was in, the most unsuspecting of places, Jacksonville, North Carolina.
His name is Timothi Bohan, he is originally from Portland, Oregon.
After a hard 7 month long distance relationship he was finally able to move to California
with me and we have been inseparable since January 2000. We are planning to be
married in Sacramento sometime this summer.
As for work, I came back to California to a very promising carrer with Nextel
Communications here in the SouthWest Market, the largest and most successful market of
Nextel. I plan on being with them as long as it takes. I also have a dream of
staring my own business Party Planning and Wedding Consulting. Hopefully that will
take off and I can be a stay at home mom when the time comes! Until I have more
news...take care.
Trivia: I still have the flag that Amy Schneider (sp?) gave me a graduation.
Friends: My closest of friends I still keep in touch with...except one--Kerri Houston!
Where did she go????
Hobbies: I am actually a very crafty sort of person, but not cheesy stuff. I like to
create my own style of unique paper products. I also fiddle with the party planning aspect
of my dreams as much as possible, between that, work and planning
a wedding I have liitle time for anything else.
