1. Who do you wish you had kept in touch with from high school? I am happy to say by "bestest" friends of today are the ones from 20 years ago.

2. What is something you wish you did after high school or college that you never had the chance to do? No regrets from me!

3. What is something you're happy you had the chance to do? I quit teaching junior high after 11 years of not loving my job. Now I own Eclectic Elegance, a gift store in Farmington, MI (shameless plug: eclecticelegance.com). I took a leap and thank goodness I did. The risks far out weigh the possible defeats. That's me in the picture with my business partner at our ribbon cutting- November 2005.

4. Where is your favorite place you have visited in the last 20 years? Two extremes: Iceland (I have never been so cold) and Death Valley. I would return to either one tomorrow! I also have been fortunate to travel with my Grandma to Seattle, Hawaii, Arizona, San Diego... nothing beats the memories I have with her.

5. What high school memory makes you smile/laugh? I had a lot of fun and laughs being a part of the theater program- Mock Rock, Matress, etc. Bud and his ever changing quiz/test policies, lunches with KS and JA and explaining to Cutler why we were late, Michaywe..

6. Who are you looking forward to seeing at the reunion? It has been great reading the blog page. Anne and I reconnected because of it. Particularly I would like to catch up with "theater people", Bingham Farms grads, Jeff S, Steve G, too.

1. I have kept in touch with Heather and recently gotin touch with Corey and Grace....
2. I am still doing most everything that I wish to doright now---------but I do wish I would have takenadvantage of my free tuition (parents) at WMU 14 yearsago and been motivated instead of being high.
3. I am happy I have had the chance to travel a lotand live in different places, work on farms, live verysimply and freely and happily with good food and goodpeople.
4. I don't know how to pick a favorite place-----Ijust went to Romania in July of this year and that wasreally cool and probably my most recent favoriteplace-------
5. My memory that makes me laugh is when I rammed intoCorey's car with my moms car once on 13 mile to gointo the parking lot and then twice in the parkinglot--we had gone home for lunch and smoked alittlesomething and I was unable to drive correctly and alsowas laughing hard
6. I don't know if I am going yet but if I do, itwould be great to see Ann Cho, Dana Kennedy, Chini andlots of others that I can't think of now--
7. Don't have a spouse but my x boyfriend from awhileago was shocked to see my class pictures----

1.) Who do you wish you kept in touch with from high school?I've managed to keep in touch with my closer friends, although it might be nice if Karl would show up more than every other year. I've pretty much lost touch with the swim team crowd and wonder what happened to some of them every now and then.

2.) What is something you wish you did after high school or college that you never had the chance to do?I am yet unable to embark on my quest to learn the traditional spearfishing techniques of the natives of the Peruvian Andes.

3.) What is something you're happy you had the chance to do?Going to Notre Dame during the good football years (something that seemed important then) and making some good friends there, my wife being one. Having two kids, releasing the six year old in me that wasn't very well restrained to begin with. Plus keeping my hair.

4.) Where is your favorite place you've been to in the last 20 years?It's probably a toss up between the obligatory Maui honeymoon (same as yours if you went there) and going to Edinburgh with Sreeny: me, a recent graduate of a Catholic university, arguing at the crack of dawn with a recent Presbyterian graduate from dental school over the finer points of papal infallibility doctrine, the two of us three sheets to the wind at four in the moring, while a pair of similarly inebriated Hindus watched in amusement and confusion. (Mr. Wilson, wherever he is, is crying now.)

5.) Name a high school memory that still makes you smile/laughThe "Army" and the fact that it was funny in the naivete of the day. Now we'd be hauled in by Homeland Security. Driving around Beverly Hills with opening garage doors, Karl howling with laughter in the back seat. "Hey, Tim, watch this!" The Fourth Street Singers' appearance at Mock Rock and the alleged censoring on the public access broadcast. Disposing of trash from White Castle. The dreaded five question quizzes: "Say something about a circus." Being late for calculus because I was stuck in the secret rooms on Bubble Bobble, and playing "Go to Hell" on the way back. Rob Corsini stories: hitting the deer and the plan to grossly misuse Papal authority (not to mention the plan's critical flaw). "Howdy, your car is on my foot." "You told me to keep backing up!"

6.) Who are you looking forward to seeing at the reunion?Karl, the Mean One, Alex, and I'll throw a bone to Vas, even though I talked to you five minutes ago. Many others, that I may be reminded of the good times I have forgotten.

7.) Is there anything your spouse/significant other would be surprised to know about you from your high school days?Despite meeting the crowd, she's not heard much about all the crappy times that have long since faded from our collective memory. I'm sure there were some; the good stuff remains.

Dave,

Hi. As you know, I will not be able to attend the reunion since I will still be in Baghdad. I tried to access the reunion blog but was notpermitted on my government computer. It is my understanding that people are posting pictures on the blog. If so, will you please post the attached picture of Saddam and me relaxing in the International Zone on the blog? Thank you.

Best,Matt

Honeymoon in Canadian Rockies; great hiking and bed and breakfasts in Banff and Canmore.

Everyone really- would be great to see the 3 Kathy’s, Jill, Wendy, Michelle, Stacey, Dan, Jared, Tom, Alan, David, and many others.

1.) Who do you wish you kept in touch with from high school?All the folks I hung around with back then - too many to list.

2.) What is something you wish you did after high school or college that you never had the chance to do?Get my MBA and/or start my own business.

3.) What is something you're happy you had the chance to do?Travel throughout the US and abroad, get my BA, white-water raft, backpack in God's country: the Manitou Islands and Northern Michigan, have children (TWINS: Erin and Evan) and dress them as Thing 1 and Thing 2 for Halloween! They'll be one year old four days after the reunion.

4.) Where is your favorite place you've been to in the last 20 years?Northern Italy: Venice, Bergamo, Soronno, and Milan

5.) Name a high school memory that still makes you smile/laughCramming what seemed like a million people into Dan Lindner's hatch-back to go to McDonalds for lunch while "The Outfield" blared over the radio.

6.) Who are you looking forward to seeing at the reunion?Anyone who will talk to me ;). Some who especially come to mind: Lisa, Julie, MK, Huey, Tony, Nip, Dan, Lisa P., etc. and any Greenfield Elementary folks (by the way, they've just torn down the entire old portion of the building and only the new addition remains - kinda sad in a way).

7.) Is there anything your spouse/significant other would be surprised to know about you from your high school days?Just that I was a little shy and reserved as he's always telling people when I get a little too out of control these days, "sorry about my wife!".
