I spent the first 18 years post graduation traveling the country (at an absurd pace) pursuing a career in wildlife biology. I spent a lot of time in the woods, worked my way up to a respectable point and then decided it was time for a change. I'm now working as a consultant concentrating on non-profit administration. I've been married for 10 years, and we're about to have our first baby in November...better late than never? My favorite things are eating, cooking, and hanging out with friends over cocktails. And I guess I'm a runner when I'm not growing a kid.

Hi,
This is Reginald Johnson c/o 1989. I am in need of your address, so the 1989 RKHS 20th Reunion Committee can send you an invitation to the reunion this summer. The reunion will occur fron Thursday, July 23 - Sunday, July 26, 2009. Please send your address to my email account reginaldjohnson06@yahoo.com.
This is a bit addicting... By the way, I realize we haven't talked in ages but Jules has been keeping me posted over the years and I hear CONGRATULATIONS are in order!!!! :-)
I can't wait to hear all the other news that I've been missing!
I was finally directed to this site, and can't believe how much fun I'm having looking people up! I also can't believe how many people live elsewhere now. Sounds like you've had an interesting and adventurous 19 years since graduation. Congrats on your pending Motherhood :)

Dear Sarah,
Thankyou so much for saying so. Steve did go to Webster middle school, so I guess you have known one another for a long time. He has good memories of going to school there. Steve and I are an "old" couple already, and have been married almost 18 years , which seems impossible to me sometimes. We don't feel that old! I will let him know what you said. Hope you are doing well, I haven't checked out your pictures yet but I will do so today. Take care.
Love,
Deborah
You probably don't remember me. Everyone c alled me JJ in school. I think we had Mackinson's speech calss together. Just noticed we have the same birthday.
I actually worked with your brother Bart at Kimberly-Clark before I quit making diapers. Good to see you are doing well.
Hey sara, sounds like you have had a great life. I am also in non profit and have been considering being a consultant for other non profits. I would love to talk to you to see what type of work you do. Congratulations on the new baby you are in for a treat and a ride so get ready.
