Occupation: Full Time Student/Mom
Bio: I was looking at this site and realized that I met my fiance just 1
month after posting my last bio. Since then I have graduated (with honors)
from SCC with 2 associtates degrees and have moved on to CSUS. I am majoring
in Child Development with a minor in Deaf Studies. I hope to be graduating
soon and be able to work with deaf & hard of hearing elementary students.
As for my personal life, my little one is now 4, and will be starting Sacred
Heart School next fall!! I can hardly believe it. He is so smart it scares
me. He is already recognizing words, and knows a little to much for his own
good ;) All in all he is a great little guy and he has such a big heart. My
fiance is a CHP Officer and is going to law school. My oh my do we have a
busy schedule. Between raising my son, my school, Frank's school and his
work we are trying to plan a wedding, AUGH!!! It's all worth it though. I
attended the 10 year reunion and was disapointed that more people didn't
come. But it was really neat to see everyone again. I hope to
see more of you at the 20 year reunion.
Friends: My friends in high school were Candy, Jaimie, Jennifer Cone, Nancy
Haskell - hey does anyone know what happed to her? I was in contact
with Candy and Jennifer for a while but I am terrible at keeping in contact.
I spoke to Mike Fauzy a couple times but that's about it.
Hobbies: I don't have a lot of time for hobbies, but I do enjoy skiing,
hiking, swimming, sewing, singing, and reading (all I get to read right now
thought is textbooks.) My favorite time though is with my son and Frank,
especially when we are able to get away to the coast.
Kids: Devyn is 4 and he is such a little man. He is smart as a whip, it
really suprises me sometimes. He wants to be a policeman when he grows up
"just like my dad." He loves anything superhero and has a great imagination.
Frank and I hope to have lots more babies once we are married. (Devyn
desperatly wants to be a big brother)
Grade_school: Beaverton Elementary (in Michigan)
Junior_high: Beaverton Jr. High (also in Michigan)
Memorable_teachers: Mrs. Mitchell, she was always there for me and she was

Favorite_memory: Wow, Don't know if it was a favorite memory but I remember
all of those friends that I had in Elementary/ Junior High School that for
whatever reason didn't like me anymore, the shock that I was now at the same
school again. They made that first year rough. I actually look back now and
wish that things could have been different.

lot of you are doing. I know I have never been the greatest person when it
came to keep in contact, but my memories are still there. I still try to get
back there as much as I can, though unfortunately we are going to be moving
to Texas now in Sep 05. I would love to hear from any of you, even just to
tell me how much of a punk I was. We all can grow up and change, I like to
think I did.

Occupation: At the moment I am an instructional assitant for special Ed
programs.
I have worked my way from being a nanny, to a preschool teacher, to where I
am. I plan to have my Teaching degree soon. I am also publishing my first
book soon. Hopefully before the reunion.
Bio: I was married in July, right after grad. We just celebrated our 10th
anniversary. We spent time doing nothing spectacular except have fun and
enjoy life. We moved to Marysville four years ago to have a quieter life and
found the gods were against that idea. Two years ago my Brenden had a life
threatening injury on the job. ( sorry a little gorry for the mass
audience). While he is still alive and most what functional, our lives have
changed a
lot. But guess what life is great we have our animals, 3 dogs, 3 cats, corn
snake, bearded dragon, 2 turtles, a tortise, and masive amounts of fish and
chickens:)
Trivia: I used to spend a lot of time with someone who dyed her hair. But
since we haven't spoken in over 4years I now have two tatoos and have dyed
my hair on a regular basis.
Friends: I have lost contact with almost every one mostly because I moved.
But I hung with Tasha, Carol, Melissa( when she came to Encina. and we just
got back in contact last year thanks to this web sit.), Jamie (Though he
doesn't seem to remember me. Whatever JK:)) Kandy Jenkins ( Who I would
really like to find) And others I can't think of.
Hobbies: Before Brenden's accident we went hiking regularly and on trips to
the ocean/mountains. I love anything athletic really. I also enjoy trying
new things, hense my den of half done projects. My book would have been out
forever ago if I could finish anything.
Kids: I have no children as of yet. But we are haveing a lot of fun trying:)
Grade_school: Starr King
Memorable_teachers: I think my most memorable teachers were Eric, the
ceramics teacher, I loved his class. Now how sad is this My senior English
teacher got me excited about writting but I can't remember her name.
Favorite_memory: Graduation. I was very happy to leave there. I have grown
up a lot after I left school. I now know that I brought a lot of ridicule
onto myself, I was a nerd and proud of it baby. But I also know that I will
be attending the reunion proud of myself. There were a lot of horrid people
at school. I do not hold grudges, I hope I am not the only one who has grown
up.
Story: No, just don't believe what you read on bathroom walls.

other
ventures. Currently working on my MBA at UOP, and then on to my PHD maybe
in a few more years.

Friends: Brian Craig, Carrie Bennett, Brian Crall, etc... Lost contact with
most people as they get married & settle down. In the words of Hank
Williams, Jr. "Nobody wants to get drunk, and get loud.... All my rowdy
friends have settled down."
Hobbies: There's not much time for recreation, but when I do get a free
sec - I spend it at my parent's house down in Las Vegas, where they
went to
retire after I left Sacramento. Flights are cheap! I always try to get
people to come down and hang with me, but they usually wuss out for
various
reasons.
Kids: My daughters were born on 2/19/03... The relationship with their
mother didn't last (We had been together for 3 years before), but we
have
stayed friends and we share custody 50/50 - so I get to spend plenty of time
with the girls! They are the best looking kids I've ever seen in my
life.
The Lenocker twins are going to be some real heartbreakers one day! Better
than the Hilton twins, I guarentee it.

Occupation: homemaker
Bio: I worked in a jewelry store then at a chemical plant and then an
insurance company. I went to American River for a couple of years also. I
got back together with Billy for the last and final time almost six years
ago. We got married on 9/11/99 and now have two kids. We finally moved into
a beautiful home in the forest. We love it.
Trivia: I didn't graduate from Encina for many different reasons. I did like
Rio and did graduate (thank god) but it wasn't the same. I have had a rough
go at life but I also have a very supportive husband and family now. I hope
to get back in contact with a few friends I left behind while I jumped
around schools.
Friends: I can't say I had any best friends but I did have a lot of good
friends I remember fondly. Tera Silkwood, Michelle Sobala, Michelle
Strasburg, Ronnie Carey, Alan Wallace, Ryan Andrzejewski (who is now my
brother which is so weird but cool), Matt Nigro, Josh Whitney, Melissa
Elkins (where are you?) and others.
Hobbies: Right now I just dropped our daughter off for her first day of
school. It will be a new challenge for us. Also, I participated in the M.S.
walk this year since being diagnosed in Aug of 2002. I absolutely love to
cook and spend time with my husband. We like to travel to the ocean and one
day we will brave camping with the kids.
Kids: Allie Belle 5 years, Billy jr. 2 years

Junior_high_friends: Well, I miss Melissa Elkins and Mari Trujillo. I can't
remember who else.
Memorable_teachers: I really dug Ms. Woo and Eric Dahlin. I also like Mrs.
Chambers the French teacher. They were really cool. They helped me when I
needed them
Favorite_memory: EBS was a really cool class. I loved being able to have the
"power" to pull people out of class and interview them.
Story: I haven't kept in contact with many people. Of course Gina
Baker-Smith and Ryan. We still talk to Jason Colombo our old roomate c/o 91.
He is doing well and finally pursing his art! I did see Matt Nigro at Ryan's
wedding and he just had his 3rd child on my little Billy's B-day. I recently
emailed and talked to Tera Silkwood and Michelle Sobala. We sometimes hang
out with Jimmy and Amy Fox (our fellow mountain friends.) I mostly just
needed time to settle down, have my babies and get used to being married.
Billy is the best and we have been through it. But we keep on going strong
and I am glad for it. A lot happened health wise and I wouldn't wish it on
anyone. I am doing better and I am having a great time overall. I hope
everyone I knew is doing well and I wish them the best

Occupation: Student/Preschool Teacher
Bio: After graduation I went straight to work doing admin and accounting
work. After about seven years of that I realized that it was not
what makes me happy. So I decided to finally go
back to school to get my teaching credentials. I
am currently attending Sacramento City College and plan to
graduate this coming spring. I then plan to transfer to Sacramento
State.
In my personal life, the most wonderful (and challenging) part of my
life began with the birth of my first (and only) child Devyn in July
of 2001. He is so smart and loving. I am so very
lucky because I work at the preschool where he
attends and I get paid to play with my son all day!
Nothing's better than that. As wonderful as being a mom has been,
being a single mom has proven to be very

Occupation: Executive Administrative Assistant/Market Research
Bio: Hey there DAWGS!! I hope everyone is happy and healthy. Just wanted
to update everyone real quick. I am back in the Bay Area again.
After
living in Sac again for a few months, I realized that I had out grown it and
missed all the diversity the Bay has to offer. Not to mention the
$$$. I
couldn't turn down an offer to get double and a half of what I was getting
paid in Sactown so I came back. I am now working at a great Real
Estate
Firm (The Stabauch Company
www.staubach.com) in Palo Alto. It is owned and
operated by Roger Staubach (former QB for the Dallas Cowboys). He's
been in a few times and I've met him. He's really
nice. I support all 5 VPs of the PA office and it
is BUSY!! They really keep me on my toes, that's for sure!
I get a lot of great perks including meeting Ronnie Lott (he's one of
our clients), Joe Montana, great parties, etc. I
really couldn't ask for much more:)
Trivia: I am still working on the reunion and hopefully, I'll have some more
info in the next couple of months for all of you. Thanks to those
who have
already been asking about it. If you haven't already emailed me about your
interest in coming/helping, please do. Every little bit helps. And
remember, you all know some people who STILL don't have an email
address or have even LOOKED at the website yet.
Get them to do it or get their info together
because we want everyone to come next year!
Friends: I still talk to my girls all the time (Linda Muller White, Cindee
Nguyen Dao, and Monica Lam). I talk to others occasionally also but
time
catches up with us too much sometimes:( Hey everyone...Cindee had a
beautiful little baby boy (Dylan) in December. She is a happy new
mommy and loving every bit of it!!

Ah so much has changed for little Mari. I married my high school sweetheart
Jim lewis in May of 1995 and was off to Hawaii shortly afterwards. We lived
on Oahu for 3 years while he served in the Marines. Alas the vacation had to
end and back in Sactown I was in 1998. I eventually landed at Progressive
insurance working in underwriting/customer service. In May of 2001 I found
out I was pregnant with my first child and Jim and I were estatic. Found out
it was a boy in September and were we ever excited. It felt like life had
finally came together. Unfortuneatly Jim passed away in Nov 2001 and that
was a major unexpected blow to me. But now I find myself a single mother
with the most beautiful baby boy. He has become my reason to live and I love
life more with each and every day. I am going to school to become a dental
hygienst. I attend part time and otherwise I stay home with my son. I enjoy
working out and shopping in my downtime. I am looking forward to our 10 year
reunion and seeing how much life has changed for all that were class.

Occupation: EMT for American Medical Response
Bio: I lived in Sac for another 6 years or so after graduation. I moved a
few times in those years. I went through a Medical Assistant program
right
after graduation. Worked for a doctor's office, then Blue Sheild of
California, and finally ended up at Progressive Auto Insurance. I met
my husband through a mutual friend at work. He
lived in Livermore. It was a long two years of
commuting back and forth. Finally, I moved to be with him
in 2000. I went back to school, did the EMT thing. I work for AMR as
an EMT now and currently finishing up the training
to be a Paramedic. High school was nothing
compared to all this!! We bought our home Dec. 2001 and we got
married in March 2003. Busy with a ton of things as usual. No
children yet,

Friends: Unfortunately, I have not kept in touch with anyone from high
school. I don't know where anyone is or what they are doing.
Hobbies: Hobbies/Recreation - trying to make time for them. When we can, we
enjoy camping, hanging out with friends, racing, and relaxing.
Memorable_teachers: Mrs. Nichols, English Teacher. In my Junior/Senior year.
She is always the one that comes to mind. She was great, she would
help with anything (even out of school things).
The trip to Ashland for the Shakespeare Festival

Seriously, how much info do you give on one of these things and not sound
all desperate and Waco!
(I'm working for the most entertaining vote for this bio)
Call me Mr. Clean...its fun being bald, women seem to have this need to rub
your head, I can handle that.
I can't stand TV any more. It sucks the will right out of you. It took weeks
of therapy to get rid of that drooling habit I formed.
The internet rocks!...I get to pick and choose what grotesque images I want
to look at.
I don't skate any more, I know, I know, how could that be...well I realized
pain hurts, so now I'm a martial arts fanatic...at least this way some one
forces me to ware pads.
I gave up drinking on my 21st b-day. Yeah, that's sort of backwards...oops,
actually it was the day after the 21st b-day, if you could imagine what
would drive me to do that. Truthfully I'm keeping a vow I made to the
porcelain god. "Oh GOD, I'll never do this again, BLAAAAAH"...you know what
I'm talking about.
I've been in a long term, just like marriage, relationship...I dedicated my

WOW. I lost touch with just about everyone except Melissa Elkins (Johnson)
who got married in 1995. Since looking at the Encina web site I located
Elaine Formica, Audreanna Jarwin and through Elaine, I now have a contact
for Natalie Scharp. I recently got married to a wonderful man and also
became a full-time step-mommy to an 8 year old. My life is wonderful. After
High School I got a job as an Office Manager at a jewelry store in Arden
Mall (where else), promoted to Executive Secretary and then to Operations
Administrator and remaind there for 7 years. Sine my husband owns his own
business we decided that recently I would stop working and start my own
business. Well, I only lasted 4 months and couldn't handle being around him
24-7 (HAHAHA). The business is still in the beginning stages but hopefully I
can return to working for myself once things get off the ground. Looking
back I wish I would have gone to college but as they say "It's never too
late". I could still wind up a doctor (HAHAHA)
Friends:
Elaine Formica, Natalie Scharp, Audreanna Jarwin, Bree Bassett, Ryan Connor,

I still love shopping. I guess that was another reason I needed to go back
to work. My husband was tired of me spending all of his money.
Kids:
Alaysha has to be the most sassy 8 year old I know. She is a girly girl

birth to her.

Mr. Broadnansky: He had such a great personality
Mr. Halfman: He made his class the easiest "A" and my younger step-sister

her stories confirmed that it was his way of teaching that got her a "C".
So for all of you who sat back in his class saying to yourself... "What did
he just do? and How did he do that?", it was him NOT you. (HAHAHA)
Favorite_memory:
Graduation, since I had to sign a contract with the Principal stating that I
missed so many classes (but grades remained good) during my Senior year, I

Occupation: International Marketing Manager
Bio: After my graduation in 1994 I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a scholarship
for football. I had a successful college athletic career, but most importantly I
completed my degree in Business Administration - Finance. After my eligibilty for
college athletics concluded I joined a student organization call AIESEC. It
exchanges students for work all around the world. Through this program I have come
to my current position. I am now living in Split, Croatia (on the Adriatic coast,
across from Italy check a map) and working for a food production company called SMS.
We are producers of Mediterranean delicatessen products olives, olive oil, fish
products, and marmalades. My job is the development of international markets.
Currently we import some of our products to the United States in the food chain Whole
Foods. I hope that we will increase this in the future.
Kids: None
Grade_school: North Avenue Elementary School
Junior_high: Rio Tierra Junior High School
Memorable_teachers: For me I have a few teachers that are memorable to me for various
reasons.
Mrs. Begg - She is just one of my favorite people, no matter how much of a pain we were
she tried to get something from us. Not to mention I had here almost every year I
was at Encina for English.
Mr Luchini - No matter how tough you were he was tougher. I always liked the way he
taught giving you the rough details and harsh reality. I could have learned so much
more from him if tried harder in high school.
Coach Hibbard - He is part of almost every high school sports memory I have, I am sure all
of my teammates would say the same. He taught me the meaning of sacrafice,
dedication and teamwork. I would say that we all wanted to be Coach Hibbard.
Coach Wallin - While he was at Encina a short time he helped me tremendously. He was
a Cal Poly graduate and helped a lot when I was making a decision to go to that school.
He taught me how to carry my self as an athlete and the importance of a positive
attitude. Much of my athletic success in college resulted from lessons I learned
from him.
Favorite_memory: It seems like high school is moving farther away and many of the memories
fade and have been replaced. However my favorite memory at Encina would do with my
time playing sports. Our group of friends were inseperable and we had great times on
and off the field whether we won or lost. Some of the best times were winning the
league championship for basketball our junior year, coming back from more than 20 points
down against Vanden, finally beating River City in football at River City, and so many
other times that cannot be counted.

sushi. Everyone loves sushi and you meet a lot of women working there. Where
else can you work and get drunk with the customers at the same time. I love this
job, but it is only temporary. I am in school studying to be a computer science
major. Yes I am a computer geek. I hope to get my BA in 2002. I'm what
you call a seven year graduate student. Hey, as long as I'm still in school right.
I'm young.
Trivia: Nothing really interesting about me. For all of those who do know me, I
can't live in one house for more than two years and my home phone number changes like 3
times a year. Most of you guys travel around the world, I travel around Sacramento.
Friends: My best friends in high school and still are to this day are Somgnot Chandavong,
Mike Franklin, Alberto Leyva (the four amigos), and Hai Luc. I still see Somgnot and Hai
on a daily basis and got Hai to go golfing more. I lost contact with Mike when he
join the Army and was transfer to the East coast. But everytime he is down in
Sacramento we hook up. I still see John Johnson, Linh Vong, Nick Wong, Chad Henry,
and Troy Henry once in awhile. Who can forget about Randy Wasserman. He must
be fat from all the free cookies I gave him. j/k. What's up Randy, haven't
talk to you in a while.
Hobbies: I am an amature bass fisherman. I fish about 4-5 tournaments a year.
The best place I got was second (twice). I didn't get any money, unless I want to
give up my amature status and turn pro, but I did get alot of fishing tackle. Do
you know how much that stuff cost? Does anyone remember Gary Sabola? He works
with me at Sumo Sushi. We try to golf about once a week. He's a better golfer
than me but I can still kick his ass in boxing. And I just picked up
snowboarding. Went for the first time this year and it was hella fun. I went
off the jumps my first time going and caught major air. Almost broke my shoulder.
Kids: I don't have any kids at the moment. I don't plan on getting married until I
am about 30-35. Until then, I plan on living life to the fullest.
Grade_school: Eastridge and Whittier.
Grade_school_friends: None. Was in Texas at the time.
Junior_high: Winston Churchill Middle School.
Junior_high_friends: None. They all went to Jona Salk. I went to Churchill.
Memorable_teachers: My most memorable coaches are Coach John Gallen and Coach Curtis
Heckle. They coached me for four year at Encina. They led us to two league
championship my junior and senior year. Recently I got a chance to coach with them
at Kennedy High School in 1999. Gallen is still a sprint coach and (Big Knees)
Heckle is still a hurdle coach. I was the jumping coach. It was a lot of fun.
So fun in fact that I enrolled at SCC (spring 2000) this year to run track. I
ran with a couple of my athletes who were seniors last year. I still keep in contact
with Gallen and Heckel. They are cool despite what most people say about them.
My personal best jump is 24'4.5". It's not great but I think it is
pretty good. I still train today and compete in open invitational. My goal is
to one day jump over 26 feet. I know I can do it.
Favorite_memory: Winning two league championship in track & field.
Story: It's funny how me and Somgnot met. It's a small world. Two families who
never met; one from Laos and one from Vietnam moved to the United States. They both
ended up in a small town call Amarillo, which is in Texas. Not only that, they lived
in the same neighborhood and me and Somgnot went to the same elementary school. I
didn't know who Somgnot was at the time. I don't remember when Somgnot moved to
Sacramento, but I think he said when he was about 7. I moved to Sacramento when I
was 13. I wanted to go to El Camino, but living too far from the school I settled
for Encina. I didn't meet Somgnot until the end of freshman year when track season
started. He overheard me talking to someone about where I was from. He
interrupted and said he was also from Amarillo. I didn't believe him until he
started describing the old neighborhood and the school we went to. He started naming
people that I knew in Amarillo. I showed him a picture of a girl that I use to talk
to in Amarillo and he knew her first and last name. Want to know who she was?
It was Somgnot cousin. Scary, huh? It's pretty amazing that we lived less than
a mile apart in Amarillo and less than a mile apart here in Sacramento.
