1.) Who do you wish you kept in touch with from high school?
Too many to list. I moved to California 2 months after high school graduation. Unfortunately, I lost touch with everyone but Jeff Stroud and Amy Hockenberger. It's been great fun this past year reconnecting with some old friends via email. I can't wait to see everyone at the reunion!

2.) What is something you wish you did after high school or college that you never had the chance to do?
I went to college at University of California at Santa Barbara and lived a block from the beach. Unfortunately, I graduated in four years. Wish I had stayed for a Masters Degree or at least taken 6 years getting my BA. Now I realize that those 6th year seniors were smarter than the rest of us who were anxious to get out into the 'real world'. What was the rush anyhow?

3.) What is something you're happy you had the chance to do?
I love this questions because it's made me think back over the past 20 years. Here are a few of my favorite memories:
- Sitting courtside at an LA Lakers game. Those NBA players are stinky, sweaty and have very colorful vocabularies.
- Limo Bus trip to Napa on my 35th birthday. Spending the day with 15 friends, touring wineries, drinking great wines, eating amazing food and dancing all the way home. It was such fun that we did it again for my 36th and 37th birthdays.
-Yachting in San Diego. To this day my kids think all boats have 2 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and party deck. It was a very cool experience.
-Sunrise hot air balloon ride over the wine country. I'm not a morning person so the memory is blurry but it was a unique way to wake up.
- 3 Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Bourbon Street during carnival is pure insanity.
- Las Vegas with Amy Hockenberger. We met there for a weekend this past January. It was the first time we've ever legally had cocktails together. Plus the 'Porn Awards' were in town so the people watching was hilarious.

5.) Name a high school memory that still makes you smile/laugh
The Beastie Boys concert at the Fox Theater in '87 with Amy H., Jeff Stroud and Jeff Wade.
The summer of '87 with Amy H., Greg Sangregorio, Tony Poretta, Matt Husband and other assorted alumni. I won't embarrass anyone with the details.
Mock Rock. Remember that?

Mostly the people from Greenfield Elementary but anyone with whom I share memories.

7.) Is there anything your spouse/significant other would be surprised to know about you from your high school days?
He doesn't want or need to know anymore than he already does.
