From Alisa:
After UCSB (a/k/a Miramonte South), postponed reality a few more years in grad school. All good things come to an end (so my parents said), so practiced law, mostly tech stuff. Married a former client last year. Mid-life crisis set in, so we took the year off, circled the globe and have otherwise been irresponsible. Now, back in SF and hoping to catch up w/ everyone.

From Ron:
Can't wait to see everyone in a few weeks. I am living in Lafayette with my beautiful wife and two children. I see Dave Cingolani, the Watsons, Joe Caselle and Andy Orear regularly. Don't believe everything you read about Balco, we've got some very good products that naturally develop strength and muscle and only slightly enlarge the head. You probably didn't see me as a "science guy" in high school, but I took a lot of cool classes at USC, learned a few things in the bathroom at the local gym, and things took off from there. For a while, I was headed down the financial planning route with this "finish rich" idea I hatched myself late one night in the fraternity, but I could never got the whole compound interest thing straight and decided, after much persuasion and a few beers, to pass the concept off to fraternity brother Dave Bach who seems to be running with it. Look forward to see everyone soon, if you are in a panic about how you look for the reunion and want to drop 10 to 20% body fat in a few weeks/days, look me up.

From Tony:
Now hearing of how fun the reunion makes me realize what a mistake it was to miss it. Orlando, Segundo, and various other OCC bartenders to catch up with. Dunk hoops at Glorietta leading into a 'BBQ' at Crevin's would have been great. After refreshing one's memory of me in the Sleepy Hollow 6th grade picture(2nd or 3rd from left/1st row I recall), no surprise I still cannot dunk on anything other than an 8.5ft basket. Bummed on missing hanging out with Mike Murphy and everyone else at the Larson preparty booze up. Wife of almost 8yrs and two kids, 4.5+2.5yrs old. In Newport Beach 6yrs now, working in LA at a hedge fund trading stock and bond options. The rigors of stringing all those tennis rackets at OCC really prepared me for the business world. Played rugby for the Old Blues, and USD for 10yrs throughout the country and world. Still in touch with many old friends thankfully from Orinda. Sorry to have missed everyone.

Sorry to take so long to post... After MHS, I went to DVC for a year. I spent 9 months in Salzburg, Austria (U or S) and then finished up at CalPoly. After graduation I moved to Boston. Got my Masters at Suffolk Univ. Met my husband back in 92, got married in 95 and now have 3 kids - 7, 5 and 3. Only have pictures of me and the kids or him and the kids (Isn't that the way it goes!) I am an official transplant to New England. Can't make it for the reunion, but would love to read about it on the message boards (I realize I remember so little!) Have a great time this weekend. N

From Mike:
Hello class of 1985! After years and years of hesitation, I have permenantly abandoned the "freedom fries" for the delicious taste of quiche in Paris, France. I don't really know what strange bug bit me, but I am certainly enjoying life with my wife and three girls out here on "the old continent". I work in the documentary and fiction film business which usually takes me (and sometimes my family) to some strange and exotic land for extensive periods of time each year. Maybe that is why I can actually put up with the Parisians. Anyway, I look froward to seeing a lot of "old" faces in October. A bientot...

From Katie:
Twenty years - hard to believe it has been that long! (I don't feel that old.) After Miramonte, I went to UCSB where I became a beach-lover. After graduation, I spent the summer backpacking through Europe and then moved to Southern California with my college friends. The plan was to move to Los Angeles for a few years and then head back to the Bay Area. However, after fifteen years, I'm still living in SoCal! I lived in several different beach cities and moved further south each time. I finally settled down in Irvine with my husband Mike. We have been married for eight years and have a daughter named Kari who is 3. Our son Eric was just born on August 27th. The other member of our family is Coffee, our black Labrador Retriever. As far as work, I've held several positions in corporate marketing and have worked in a variety of industries, from software to healthcare and now back to finance. Looking forward to seeing people at the reunion!

From Ben:
Twenty years are you sure...? What just happened..? I don't feel twenty years older, do you? I hope to see everybody there. If you think back far enough, some of us have known each other since Orinda Intermediate School (O.I.S.), Del Rey Elementary, or even Inland Valley Elementary (I.V.E.) before it became O.I.S. Ok, now I feel old. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well and getting ready to guess who is who at this thing. I’m predicting a surge in teeth whitening and Botox sales throughout the Bay Area. By the way, am I the only one that is not a stay at home Mom, or an Investment Banker, Broker, Investor, Realtor, Advisor etc.? If I can get this new fangled computer thing to work, you should see a picture of my youngest, Noah and my Wife Angel.

It has been so much fun seeing what everyone is doing now.  After graduating from Miramonte, I went down to enjoy the SLO life at Cal Poly.  After graduating from Cal Poly, I married my college sweetheart and have been married for 18 years.  Mark and I  have two wonderful daughters Haylie 15 and Ashlyne 11. We live in Colorado and love it!

From Tim:
I remember when only old people talked about things that happened "twenty years ago". I graduated from Cal after 5 years of adventures(and a sem. in S.B.)while working for construction, moving companies and bars in San Diego, San Francisco and St Thomas, USVI for about a year and a half after graduation. Despite enjoying all the natural elements of the Caribbean and a great group of friends from all over the US and world, it was back to SF to start a “real job” where no-one lived on a sailboat. I was lucky enough to meet Ashley during this great time in SF while also getting to travel all over helping big companies spend lots of money on complicated software. We married 11 years ago today and seemed to have completed the circle by moving to Lafayette and having Avery in ’99 Hank in 2000. This year we started another new life by packing up and moving to Milwaukee, WI in January 2005(between 2 and 27 degrees) with my current company. We’re having a great time here and have found the new environment to be lots of fun and a big adventure with Badgers, Packers, kid ice hockey and skating replacing Bears, Raiders, and year round swimming. It feels like six or seven different lives since the days at Miramonte, and I’m making plans to be there after thinking all summer that I would pass. I hope my senior picture isn't next to this. Those are my feet, you'll have to show up to see my mullet and monobrow.
