OOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Are we getting old or what!!! Did you ever, in a million years, think that you would be going to a 20 year high school reunion?!?!? Wow! time flies. My life is pretty good. I was one of those that had kids soon and got it out of the way. I was married to my kids father and had 2 boys - Matthew Bean, now 19 soon to be 20 in Oct. and Nicholas Bean, now 18 soon to be 19 in Nov. Known as the infamous BEAN BOYS!!! The marriage was short lived. But NOT regretful! I love my Bean Boys!! Other than putting my kids through college, life is pretty good!! I went to the 10 year, and I'll be at the 20 as well. I'm trying to get Christy Walston to go to this one too. I'll work on it! See you all there!!!

I have been married to my husband Kazuo for seven years. Five years ago we were blessed with the birth of our son Reitoku.

We lived in Japan for 3 years and now we are living in the United Kingdom. I don't know when we are going to move back to the states as that is up to the discretion of the company my husband works for. Even though I miss a lot of things that America has to offer, I miss Japan even more. Japan is a unique country with an amazing history, traditions and culture. There is a reverence in Japan that I've not seen or felt anywhere else.

To sum up my whole expatriate experience I have to say, I am married to America and having an affair with Japan.

I am glad so many showed up: Myrna, Karen, Erika(all the way from HI),Yvette (stay strong), Christy(girl, you look fantastic), Renie, Debbie Wilson, Brooke, Laurel, Pam, Selinda, Shannon P(all the way from R.I), Stephanie R., Tammy S.(good cookies), Tonya, Joanna, Wendy, Cindy, Carla....you all had an impact on my life and I am so happy I was able to visit with all of you!!!! See you guys.

Bandie you looked fab....I am glad I had an opportunity to talk with you at Woodward park...Ray sucks for not showing up.

*** Valarie thanks for bringing back the Tioga memories.
*** Dan the Man with the Van and the Master Plan....always a pleasure.

wow! its been that long!

19 years since high school? Yeah, right! I left for a little while (college), but then I came right back. Idiot!!! 12 years down and 22 more to go until I can finally get off of a high school campus.

Same old stuff. Living here in Clovis with Keri and our 2 daughters, Madison and Payton. Starting my 13th year here at Buchanan High School. Teaching Social Sciences and coaching the LB's in football. Keri works at the hospital part-time and takes care of the kids and myself full-time.

We are still trying for kid #3, but I have not told Keri about my vasectomy that I got about 7 years ago. We'll keep trying!!!

Social Life = Slim during the football season. The backyard was built to entertain so we do a lot of that here with our family and friends. I still see some of the boys around. Hiking, backpacking, biking, visiting my dad in Cayucos, using cabins in the mountains and things like that whenever we can find the time.

You know where to find me. No shirt or shoes required, just byob.

Take Care,

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

Sorry I can't join you for the big 2-0! I hope all of you are doing well and happy. For those of you living in the Chicagoland area, let's have our own reunion here! Write me at haley.hwang@comcast.net and we'll put something together here in Illinois!

Hi all. Can you believe it's been 20 years?

After Hoover I went on to graduate from Fresno State with a degree in Marketing. I did several things in and out of Marketing until I finally ended up working as an administrative assistant for Wells Fargo in Fresno. I worked there for several years and during that time I met my husband. We met briefly in 2002 while he was in town for a Fresno State baseball tournament. A whole year went by and we met up again. Things took off and shortly after I was on my way to a job transfer to Sacramento where Larry lived. I hated it there and within 4 months we were moving to Foster City. He works in San Francisco so it ended up a good move for both of us. We spent a year in Foster City and then moved to Pacifica where we are still living happily. We got married in October 2005 and we continue to travel as much as we can and watch lots of ballgames. It helps that Larry works for Budweiser and his two accounts are Candlestick and AT&T. Lots of perks. I currently work part time as an assistant to a real estate agent in Pacifica. A good flexible job that keeps me available for all our adventures. We don't have any kids, but stay busy with our nieces, nephews, and friends kids.

Still married to Shawn. He is smart, good looking, and has a great sense of humor. He is the best husband and father that we could ask for. He is also good on the computer and knows how to steal passwords!!!

Looking so forward to seeing you all at the reunion!!!

Hope to see everyone there!

Look forward to seeing you there!
Rajiv (my hubby) and I live in the bay area (San Mateo), have a beautiful 19-month old daughter, Tara, and I'm currently a stay-at-home mom. Life is good!

I look forward to catching up more, beyond these vital stats, at the reunion.

Greetings,
I look forward to seeing everyone on the 13th. I thought I was going to be unable to attend the reunion but things have changed. I'll be a bit late but I'll be there.
Somehow no matter where I've been or where I am, Fresno has always been comforting to me. I came back about seven years ago when I met my wife and it's great. It's always felt like home. My wife, Sally and I have been married for 6 years and we have two wonderful sons. Elijah-4yrs. Alex-2yrs.
2008 is my 23rd year in the HVAC and refrigeration industry. Pretty much all of my 20s' were spent repairing some air conditioning or refrigeration equipment by day, and then at night playing drums in rock bands, trying to be a rockstar! The last 8 years I have also worked as a crew chief/mechanic building racing engines and race cars.
Sally works as a Master Instructor for both Fresno State and Fresno City College in the linguistics departments and has a full time job just keeping up with our two boys all day.
Life, I'd say is grand!

Hi Everyone! Life has sure been an adventure the last 20 years!

After high school, I attended Long Beach State and continued to dance and perform in shows in the So. Cal. area. I had some fun and amazing experiences, but realized that there was a whole world "out there" that was more exciting than being in a dance studio. I came home to Fresno one summer and decided to attend Fresno State to finish my degree. During that time, I started dating my husband, Craig Wetnight (Ryan's older brother). We married in '95 and it has been an adventure ever since! Pre-kids, we lived in the SF and Thousand Oaks areas (where I taught 5th grade for several years- Oak Park). We've spent our time traveling, water/snow skiing, mtn. biking and scuba diving. Our two cats are named Snorkel and Scuba. Over the last six years, we have had two fun-loving children (Kylie & Jackson) and have been transferred to Texas, San Diego and now Lawrence, Kansas -Rock Chalk! (Craig's co.'s corporate headquarters is in Topeka) Never in my life did I think I would ever be in Kansas! It's not easy moving anywhere from San Diego, but Kansas surprisingly is a hidden gem. If only we could move Lawrence next to the ocean! It's not easy being landlocked!

I'm disappointed that we won't be able to attend the reunion. It sounds like it's going to be fun! We'll be in Fresno at Thanksgiving. Email me if there are any get-togethers!
