Life is good so if you want to catch up, hit me up.

Lovin' my '86 KZ1000 motorcycle is my other part-time job...hoping to get it back on the road soon! =o)

Jeff BIENSTOCK email   Posted 11/13/01

I am still at Occidental College. Is there anything else to say?
No, except perhaps this:

"My poor uncle John
To him I toast
And if he's gone
To poor John's ghost"

I think that just about says it all.

Melanie EBNER email   Posted 07/10/04

After graduation I continued on to the University of Denver. I worked many jobs while going to school and my junior year studied abroad in Australia for six months. Studying abroad helped me to be able to graduate in three year (2003) with a BA in Digital Media Studies and Women's Studies. After this I returned to the University of Denver and received my Elementary teaching certification (2004). I am currently still in school and if all goes well I will receive my Master of Arts in Education with a focus in Urban Education this March (2005). I seem to like to make myself crazy since I am also planning my wedding to a wonderful man named Clayton. I guess you could say that I have been keeping myself very busy. Well I hope that all is well with everyone else and please feel free to drop me an e-mail. It is nice to reminisce.

Soraida MELGAR email Sacramento, CA Posted 06/01/05

It was crazy to look back at names that sound so familiar, but I can faintly remember the faces that go along with them. It was nice to read about how peoples lives have gone in all different directions. As for me, after SAMO I went to Chico State for two years then I studied abroad for a semester in France. When I returned to the U.S., I transferred to CSU Sacramento and graduated in 2004 with a BA in Government and International Relations. Currently I am working for Congresswoman Matsui in Sacramento. I look forward to seeing you all at our class reunion.

     
Amber MILLER email   Posted 11/20/02

Hey There - Just found out about this site - kind of fun. I've been all over since leaving Samohi. I graduated from Berkeley in 1995, moved to the East Coast for grad school and much traveling, and am now in Chicago. It is a great city. You should check it out. Do it in the fall or spring though. I learned the hard way that it isn't very Californian friendly in the winter... I'm moving to Manhattan in the fall for a new job. Who else is living in New York?? Drop me a line. http://calvin.phys.columbia.edu

I am going to be working up here in Fort Collins as a Financial Planner with Waddell & Reed, exciting (scary) times I guess. It’s nice to look at this web site and see some names from the past (seems like last week). I hope everyone is doing great and wish you all nothing but the best, please feel free to drop me a line and say hello.

Hello all class of 2000. I think I might have been somewhat of a loser in high school but who ever I was then I still am now. Same old crazy, sports loving Niko. I got married in November 21, 2004 and now have 2 daughters, Clear Justice and Chosen Victory, who are the greatest things that have ever happened to me. No, nobody knows my husband because he's from Savannah, GA. I now teach youth martial arts and fitness really really close to home. I am trying to do a lot still. I wanna sing, run track professionally and possibly model. Who knows what the future may bring. Well, if you want hit me up...

Before that I was at SDSU and took some time off in between. Would love to hear from anyone out there...take care
