Cranbrook Kingswood School's Class of 1992

See pics from reunion here.... And please, if you were there sign in below!

Baby pictures!

I just posted a new gallery of pictures of our classmates' offspring. If you would like to add yours, please send them along.

Sorry, I had to disable this for a little while. It was getting spammed. If you have notes, please just e-mail me and I'll post them here.

I was there and had much fun... as the photo attest. One question: Why is Holly nuzzling up so close in that photo of us? ;) Seriously though, glad to see the PIX of the whole affair, great to reconnect with classmates. No substantive updates to share on my front... been working the same gig for over seven years now, enjoying it more now that I'm a full fledged partner but always felt rather vested, been married to the same woman for about the same amount of time with two lovely children to show for it... in the same house in huntington woods, hell, even drinking the same beer.

. . . heading into my 8th year in London. I am still at Diageo, the drinks company, and continue to head up the corporate center legal team. I've been debating a move back to the States recently but probably stick it here in England for a while longer. If anyone finds that they are visiting, let me know at chow_tyc@yahoo.com.

This is the first time I have actually checked out the website. Kudos to Matt for the hardwork. After 15 years it is hard to figure out where to start. I am currently living in Humble, TX a suburb of Houston with my wife Amber and our dog Layla. We are expecting a new addition to the family in January our first! I am Director of Safety and Environmental with the Port Terminal Railroad. This is the latest stop in my 11 year railroad career. I have lived up and down the east coast with my last stop in Rochester, NY for five years before I moved to Texas in February of this year. I have also held brief residence in VA, GA, TN, PA and Binghamton, NY... I hope to settle down here in Texas for a while!

As you can see by the address I moved to Jersey City. I'm living with my new fiance and her 11 y.o. son. We got engaged this February on the beach in Puerto Rico at sunset (how romantical). I'm actually closer to Manhattan now than when I lived in the Bronx (only 15 mins. from Mid-town). That same month my Martial Arts Instructor of the last 8 years and I launched a website. We founded the Filipino Kali Mixed Martial Arts System in order to promote the our own unique expressions of the Filipino Martial Arts in the most street-effective manner. Also, we will be releasing 2 instructional DVDs this June. Check out the site and let me know what you think. Don't think I'll be able to attend the reunion this year as I'll probably be in Vegas. My instructor is setting up shop out there and I'm helping him get set up. I hope all is well with everyone. Drop me a line if you're heading East. -Vic

Overwhelming, it is, looking at all those pictures from the reunion! I can't believe how many folks' faces I still remember & recognize...Everyone looks great. Well, since this is my "first contact" with the board, i'll try to keep it brief while still filling in the blanks with respect to what i've been doing for the last 10+ years. As those who knew me in high school would suspect, I high=tailed it out of Michigan for college, and ended up in Missoula, Montana. I graduated with 2 degrees -- one in women's studies (liberal studies) and another in dance. not exactly the most practical choices, but stimulating nonetheless. after school, i joined the Univ. of Montana's resident modern dance company, where I continued to dance 3-5 hrs/day. I worked a variety of jobs -- bartender, waitress, non-profit coordinator, etc -- only to realize after a few years of that nonsense that I was craving something more, and tired of the poor economy in montana. In 2000, I moved to Portland with my then-fiance, Jason Reynolds, so he could get a good job (he'd just graduated w/masters in chemistry) and so that i could attend law school at lewis & clark college. Portland turned out to be a great choice; my now-husband (we got married in january 2001 in zihuatanejo mexico) found a good job and i'm just about to graduate with my law degree. I'm hoping to practice employment law, with an emphasis on discrimination and sex harassment in the workplace. Unfortunately, I haven't been in touch with many alum from cranbrook -- though i'm especially intrigued with the whereabouts of angie goss! I have such strange memories from the brief time I spent at Cranbrook, but would love to chat with folks about where they're at and they've been doing since graduation.

While I think it was poor judgement to blaze up at a faculty function, I think firing them was uncalled for. They were not around students. I can think of at least two faculty members from our day who were pretty much constantly inebriated, but were kept on because they were good teachers. Does anyone know who they were?

I've been informed that I'm listed as MIA, so it seems prudent to check in before Matt releases the hounds. Many regrets for not being able to see everyone last summer for the reunion; I've just been reading through all the related postings, and it sounds like it was quite a throw-down! I'm still living on the Front Range, working at present for a research firm investigating clean technologies and developing environmental monitoring systems. I had been doing finish carpentry and furniture building when I hit the end of my rope and felt it was time for a little change of direction. I'm considering heading to engineering school in the near future, with an eye on urban design/ecology. I thought about trying to take over the world, but it looks like there may be a fair number in line ahead of me for the moment. Ah, well. Best wishes to everyone in their various endeavors.

Summer has been great. I wakeboard most mornings before work. The season is winding down. More importantly I married a beautiful woman, Marla. How or why she puts up with me, I have no idea, but I'm not complaining.

Hey folks! Not much new to report. Still working in the Public School system in the ol' NYC. Things have been a bit crazy with the mayor's restructuring (and renaming) of the school system, but I'm rollin' with the punches. In fact, when the dust settles I may end up with a promotion and a raise (let's keep our fingers crossed). It seems the new regime is looking for talent rather than settling for seniority. On the wrestling front, been keeping busy. I'm getting booked for more shows and starting to get noticed. That's all I'll say about that for now (don't wanna jinx it). Like Amanda said, if your ever in NYC, look me up. Until next time, true believers......

Greetings! I just got back from a very refreshing, though brief, trip to a remote shack in Jamaica after a very busy summer of work. Spent June and July producing segments for a new live show on NBC called Shop&Style which was cancelled after two weeks. Now I'm back to news (thank god!). The big event in my world is that my amazing brother-in-law, Lt. (about to be Cpt.) Justin Morseth, married to my sister Megan, just returned safely home from Iraq after being gone for over nine months. We're so thankful and excited to have him back, now we just have to work on getting the rest of them home! I hope you all are well. As always, let me know if you're in nyc.

working in DC at AOL Time Warner as an entertainment content editor, though commuting to NYC often. I'm in film school at nights hoping to move into documentary film work. Just attended Tia Simoni's wedding in IL with Kate Zyla and saw her brother Lincoln (CK '91) and his family. All are well. Still seem to be the only CKS alum in DC who graduated after 1955...anyone relocating soon?

Not much has changed with me over the past couple of years. I am still living in Los Angeles with my husband Josh and 2 cats. I am still working for Edmunds.com in Santa Monica, where I was recently promoted to Software Engineering Director. I am managing a team of 4 (soon to be 5) Java and database programmers. It's keeping me way too busy and way too stressed, but I guess it's mostly in a good way :). What little free time I have these days is spent remodeling my condo, doing lots of local hiking (had to give up mountain biking due to a back injury) and sleeping.

For those of you who saw me at the reunion last year, nothing much new to report from London. I bought a flat in the Islington area last fall and continue to try to think of ways not to be a corporate lawyer (obviously have failed miserably). My last visit to Cranbrook was sadly for Mrs. Winter's funeral this spring (as mentioned in Natalie's note). For those of us who knew and loved her it as a pretty gutting experience (and I have to say I have never felt older than when I saw all those faces from the past pass through Christ Church), but I know that Mr. Winter was deeply touched by the profound sympathy her passing raised. Happier times were spent with Meg Richard previewing her new shop, The Fuchsia Frog, on Maple in Birmingham (her sister Kate, has opened a shop across the way, laying the foundations for a Richard retail empire) and then later in the spring at Chris Mellow's wedding in LA. (Jason Silver is, by the way, essentially the best best man ever: not only extremely conscious of his best man duties but guaranteed to make sure there is not a dried eye at the reception, his included). And then in June was able to play host to Doak Sergent (who you may remember was a classmate of ours for a year) and Bree Arvai (John's wife) in June. Hope everyone is well and please get in touch if any of your find yourselves in London.

I am sorry I missed the 10 Year Reunion. It is good to see everyone is doing well. I fell a little out of touch but recently promised Matt I would keep better connected. I have been living in New York for the last 9 years. I came out here to attend Pratt Institute in Brooklyn where I received my BFA in 1997. I have continued live and make art here and currently have an apartment and studio in Brooklyn. I recently finished a small show of paintings and works on paper in Chicago. It was nice to see some Cranbrook faces--Holly O., Matt C., Ted B. Thanks to Chris S., Jason C. and John S. for your help.

Wow! I viewed the reunion pictures, and it definitely was a blast from the past. Wish I could have been there. You'll find that I am much more personable than I was in high school (smile). And for those of you who were close to me (Dan, Aubrey, Vic), didn't realize I missed you until I saw your faces again. And for those of you that I had a class with or just saw in passing, it's good to know that you are doing well. I haven't been doing much. Strayed from the path for a while but then got back on track. I have a beautiful son, D'Vontai who is a 9 year old soccer star, basketball player, cub scout and tae kwon do specialist. Lived in Hawaii for about three years where I met my husband, Kevin, who is in the Army. Just relocated from North Carolina to Georgia. I am currently pursuing my mba in accounting and trying to adjust to life in the south. With a husband in the military and the current state of world peace, I've been doing a lot of self-reflection lately. What I've discovered over the last few years is that life is short (duh!). Too short to not cultivate the relationships you have, reignite the ones that have slipped through your fingers and pursue ones that you wish you had. I hope you all keep in touch, and since I visit Michigan quite regularly, I'll definitely keep myself posted on upcoming events.

I know many of you were close to John Winter when you lived in the dorms, and several of us (and some folks from other CKS classes) met Mr. Winter and his wife out for drinks here in Chicago last year. Sadly, my mother just reported that Mrs. Winter passed away today. For those of you who care to pass along your condolences, Mr. Winter's address is: John Winter, 550 Lone Pine Rd,Bloomfield Hills, MI 48304-3368 .

Hey all. I'm now relocated - - moved from NYC back to PA in August. Took 5 weeks off to travel, unpack etc. We rescued a pup at that time, too -- an adorable dalmatian. Started work as a 4th year at my new firm in Wilmington DE in September, doing less white collar crime and more transactional litigation. Saw some folks (Anne G., David C., Meg R.) when I was home for Rosh Hashanah. Hoping to see everyone again soon, turkey day or xmas. I'll update my contact info in the database, too.

I am getting my degree in Special Education. Pretty fun, if you ask me. For the last umpteen years I've been in the nonprofits doing various things with people who have disabilities. That is, after I graduated from Beloit in 1996 and had a pile of bills to pay. This isn't too much of a stretch, but it feels good. I live in with Dave and the two cats, Monday and Beatrice. Really I wanted to see the photos, but reading everyone's posts has made me sorry I didn't have a chance to see everyone grown up. How are you all?

Quick message for Jake Hazard: The NYPD called me looking for you. Apparently they want to question you regarding a crack binge with underage teen girls in the East Village. Please drop me a note and let me know what this is all about. I'm not going to send you any more money if this is how you spend it. You need help, dude. P.S. Stay out of Tijuana. The Federalis are onto you also.

Wow- what a trip seeing everyone ten years on. . . it was outstanding! Loved being back in the quad socializing with old friends. As for an update: I'm still in l.a. working as the entertainment producer for kcal channel 9- which just became part of CBS news after a VIACOM buyout. I'm engaged, some of you may have met Michael, and we just set the date: June of 2003. We're holding it out here-- in Santa Barbara on a rose farm over looking the ocean, should be beautiful. We bought a new home in January, built in 1916-- it's a serious fixer-upper but full of potential and a really fun project. Rescued two dogs from the pound, Zoe and Walter... they rule. That's about it, best to all! Becky Brooks

I am so bummed that I wasn't able to attend the reunion. It sounds like it was a lot of fun---and with a great turnout! That weekend, I was moving into my new condo in Chicago. For those of you who don't know, I have been living in Chicago for 6 years (since college graduation). For the first 5 years, I was in marketing/advertising, but realized that it was not the right career path for me. So, I decided to pursue a career in interior design. I am currently going back to school part-time for a degree in interior design, and working at a showroom called Ligne Roset. If you are in the Chicago area, I would love to hear from you. I am glad to hear that all is well with everyone.

so glad to catch up on everyone's news after all this time. I've had a varied (!) career to date, ranging from venture capital to community relations. The most fun of all was working as a professional storyteller. Now I'm finishing up my master's in elementary education, and looking for a teaching position for the fall. Wish me luck!

I really wanted to make it to the reunion but life sometimes gets in the way (and I remember too well how much Michigan sucks in June). I've been living in West Texas for the past 8 of 10 years with a couple years working in Northern New Mexico for a change of scenery. At the moment I'm working on finishing up my Ph.D. in Nutrition (selenium, yum!) while I work as the unofficial statistician/research assistant at the Texas Tech School of Nursing. I'll be moving to Dallas in the fall which should be interesting seeing how I'm accustomed to low population density and absence of humidity. Hope everyone is well!

I honestly just wanted to get the link to the reunion pictures. But since I am posting again, I wanted to say that it was really great to see everybody. I wish I could have had more time to talk to everybody. It was encouraging to see everyone so happy and making their way in the world. I had forgotten (or probably didn't realize) how great the people were ...are at Cranbrook. I wanted to also thank Matt and Nicole for keeping tabs on us and bringing us together. God bless and keep loving life (corny but appropriate).

I am still waiting for my new edition to the family. Yes my wife, Kristen, is still pregnant and wishing she weren't. Let me back up a bit, I am currently living in Farmington Hills, Michigan with my beautiful wife and our son, Timothy. Kristen and I have been married for almost two years; Timothy is eight years-old and loves to play sports and read comic books. I work at General Motors as a Designing Engineer, I've been there for four years. After graduating from Cranbrook I decided to go home (Detroit) and attend Wayne State University. After two years of school I, like the fickled young man I was, transfered to University of Denver to get away from everything I knew. I wanted to be on my own and get a different perspective on life. Well after two years of trying to find myself my father fell ill and I returned home. He passed away only a few months later and I then submerged myself into what was left of his small architectural firm. After two years of trying to keep my father's dream alive I realized I had to let go and live my own life. So I went back to Wayne State University part-time, worked full-time at GM and finally obtained my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering in the summer of 2000. During my last two years of school I met my wife and the rest is history. I wanted to say it was great to see everybody at the ten year, I wish you all the best. - Aubrey

Hello everyone, itís so nice to hear that everyone is doing so well! Iím sorry that I couldnít make it to the reunion. It apparently was a great weekend, and Iím sure Iíll get the details from my CK friends here. :) As for me, I was living/working in San Francisco for about 3 years after I graduated from college. I just graduated from law school two weeks ago and now Iím living in Brooklyn, working for a small intellectual property firm in Manhattan, and obsessing about the bar. So Iím off to the public library to drink coffee and people watch and, of course, study. Take care, everyone. Drop me a line if ever youíre in New York!

Hello all...what a crazy saturday! It was nice to see everyone and to see what's new with people. As for me, I live in Detroit and am heading into my 4th year of med school at Wayne. I'll be applying for residency this summer in pediatrics and hopefully fate will take me to the west coast. That's about the long and the short of it. Hope everyone is happy and healthy...and hats off to Matt and Nicole for all the hard work. Take care everyone...

Hello everyone, I would first like to thank Matt and Nicole for all their hard work. It was great seeing everyone last weekdend from the c/o '92. Although my brother and I did not graduate with you guys (from CK), everyone made us feel like we did. It was good to speak with everyone and I apologize to those that I did not get a chance to talk with. I recognized most faces and some names and I'm glad that I was remembered by so many of you. (It's been twelve years since I've seen some you guys.) Being back on campus made me realize how lucky I was to have spent the time that I did there. Currently, I'm living and working in Detroit practicing Architecture at a small firm on the city's west side. We're involved in alot of the new school work that is emerging all over town. Just trying to do my part in its "Rebirth". I am not married and have no children. I graduated from the University of Detroit Mercy in '98 and started working on retail and hospitality projects (Duet, Somerset North, Great Lakes Crossing). I did some traveling around the states and in the carribean when projects allow and I do (with my brother) alot of side projects, mostly residential. I would love to keep in touch with you guys. Just drop me a line. Special thanks to Dan Jefferson and Vic Arroyo for convincing me to crash the party. It was well worth it. Congrats to everyone on their endeavors. I'm glad to see and hear that everyone is doing so well. Lee Carter

Hey all. I just wanted to thank Matt and Nicole again for the fantastic job they did organizing everything for our 10th. I wanna apologize to everyone that I didn't get a chance to catch up with. I saw faces in the crowd, but things were moving so fast. I blinked and you were gone. I'm still flying high from this last weekend(or is that the weed?) Anyway, MC Haz, you look great for a crack-addicted black belt with erectile disfunction. Love you man. And Henkin, welcome to the first husband's club, aka, The Newly Liberated and Loving It Crew. Sending love to the entire CK family.

Hey all! It was great seeing everyone this weekend and catching up. My only regret is that we had so little time that I wasn't able to catch up with nearly as many people as I wanted. Here is a link to a bunch of pictures from Saturday... http://www.ofoto.com/I.jsp?m=20019705403&n=1017406348 I not sure who took most of them, people were passing around my camera.

Hey all, i had the best weekend! It was so great to see you all and everyone looked beautiful and seemed happy. And, for the record, Patricia Johnson should be invited to crash our party every year :-). For those of you who dont already know, I was "working"/living as an actor in new york for 4 years after college until I decided to "retire" and go into journalism. Worked as an Associate Producer and then a Field Producer for Primetime Specials at MSNBC - got to travel a lot, including to cover the war in Afghanistan. Now i'm freelance as MS decided to end all long-format programming. Got a job going to Afghanistan for a new reality series on soldiers for ABC, was at a military base in Kandahar for 4 weeks. Now i'm back in Brooklyn, exhausted and still giggling from the reunion. Live in with my boyfriend John, a musician, and my adored cat George. My sisters, for those of you who knew them, are great. Megan is married and living in Georgia and Caitlyn is a happy, gorgeous 17 year old currently applying to colleges. I loved seeing each one of you and am known to get all excited about buying drinks for people passing through NYC, so please get in touch if you're here! I also tour a lot with John (especially now that i'm out of work) so i may let you know if we're in your area! Please send me pictures now:-) - Amanda

Hi all, sorry I missed the reunion. I was having back surgery 2 days before hand so it wasn't exactly a great time for me. Anyway, still living in Los Angeles with my husband Josh and working as a Software Engineer. BTW does anyone out there know what happened to Rina Saigal? I was just thinking about her the other day- she seems to have disappeared.

Hello everyone, The reunion was indeed alot of fun. I'm glad I was able to convince my old buddies, "The twins", Dee and Lee to show up and join the festivities. Reuniting with all of my friends and reminicing about our many adventures at Cranbrook was well worth the trip. I look forward to keeping in touch with all of you. Don't hesitate to look me up in Florida. God Bless.

So Matt has stooped to coercion . . . I guess since he's doing such a darned good job with this site I'll have to give in . . . I'm still teaching 8th grade math (Algebra 1 and Algebra 2) at a private K-12 day school in San Jose, California. (Genes, you say?) I'm happy out here and don't forsee leaving any time soon. I'm single, no kids, no dogs, no cats. I had a turtle named Gerald but it died. I'm into Taekwondo and still play baseball on the weekends -- even in the winter!! California's great!! It was awesome seeing everybody again. Matt and Nicole, you seriously did a great job of organizing everything. It was so nice to catch up with everyone. Good luck to all of you and I hope to see you before another 10 years fly by. -Jacob Now give me the link . . .

Apparently I wasn't the only one who forgot his ID and couldn't get into the Moose Preserve. Usually the receding hairline works as a substitute. Anyway, it was good to see you all at the cocktail party. I'm living in L.A., starting a business (www.brandarchitect.com), and shopping for a small, overpriced home in a crime ridden neighborhood. Again, it was good to see you all.

It was great catching up with those present Friday night, but I couldn't make it on Saturday due to my college roommate's wedding. I'm still living in Ann Arbor and teaching high school. I enjoy teaching, but I am definitely looking forward to summer vacation (which begins Thursday), when I plan on moving into a house and doing some hiking out west. I hope everything is doing well.

Well leave it to the girl that lives closest to Cranbrook to be the one to miss reunion. Unfortunately/fortunately I had to go to Chicago this past weekend for my college roommates wedding. (You all think you were hot in the quad, imagine an awful bridesmaid dress in a church with no air conditioning!) Glad you all had a great time at reunion!

It was really great to see all of you at the reunion! I'm glad that everyone seems to be doing well. For those that I have not caught up with yet...here's my update. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. I then joined Hewlett-Packard in Colorado doing design work. When Agilent Technologies spun off of HP a few years ago, I took advantage of a great opportunity to do more environmental work for the company. Basically, I work to raise sustainability awareness amongst the employees here and work to make our products more environmentally friendly. It's a great job for me, and I love it! I am also a safety and regulatory engineer...so it's nice to still be using my degree, too! Other than that...life in Colorado is great - I've really enjoyed taking advantage of the outdoors and other opportunities here...other than that, I'm not married, no kids, but definitely enjoying life. That's it...hope to keep in touch better...drop a line if you are in the area. Best wishes to everyone! PS - Thanks, Matt, for doing a great web page!

What's up everyone. First of all, sounds like reunion was a blast...I wish that I could have been there. I had a two good friends from college getting married (to each other)this past weekend and I was totally torn. I would love to catch up with everyone at some point before we have our 20th (scary). Congrats to everyone who is married, engaged, a parent, or just generally happy in life. I am still in SF working away. Please look me up if you are ever in the area!

As for me, I am living in Chicago (not married, no kids, one cat), and run a couple of little one-man businesses...for those who want to check 'em out... Lonesome George is my main operation here, developing sites and things for people..., and my side project of ShareASale.com which has turned into much more of a project than I had maybe hoped.... :)

For those who knew my brother as well, I just hired him as my first employee... so that should be quite interesting.

Take care all, and go 'Canes! :)

It was great to see everyone. It was amazing to start to catch up with everyone. I felt like we could have gone for days, so we will have to get together more often. Special thanks to the spouses that helped my wife, Cindy, have a great time, especially the ones with kids. Check out my entry below for an update, in the meantime, anyone coming out to LA look me up and we can get together, hopefully before the next reunion.

It was great to see everyone who was able to make it to the reunion. Cranbrook is truly a special place and it was never more evident than by the number of attendees who came back for a visit from the class of 92. For those of you who couldn't make it, I am sorry that we didn't havea chance to catch up, although thanks to Matt, we have this great web site to stay up to date on. Best of luck to all and I am looking forward to seeing you at the next reunion! Take care, Ian

I am living in Chicago, starting residency in pediatrics at Hope Children's Hospital on the south side. I am in for a little change in lifestyle, but I will still be heading to the beach as much as possible. If anybody is in Chicago, drop me an email and we will get a drink.

After working as a reporter (two years in Missouri and two years in Kentucky), I returned to Michigan. Now I'm off to law school in August. I really hope many of us get to hang out again before another ten years passes by.

OK, I want those pictures, so here it goes. I majored in Psychology and Religious Studies at UM, met my boyfriend, Archie and went with him to Louisville, KY while he was in law school. While in Louisville, I worked for an insurance company, but continued my interest in Psychology through volunteering in a mentor program for at-risk youth. After law school we moved to Chicago. We live there with our dog, Dash, who may just oust Jason's dog as the most spoiled ever. This summer Iíll be doing everything I can to get into grad school and escape the insurance industry. Iíd love to earn a Ph.D. in either clinical Psychology or Studies in Religion. I had a great time at reunion. Many thanks to Matt and Nicole for bringing us all together.

Hey all! It was great to see you all doing so well at reunion, although it was all very brief. For those of you who couldn't make it, I am moving to Denver this week to start my internship after having just graduated from medical school. I will be there a year before moving back to St. Louis to finish my residency in radiology at Washington University / Barnes - Jewish hospital. And for those of you who knew my sister, Becca ('91), she is doing great - living in Ventura, CA with her husband, 1year old son Liam, dog Misch, and expecting a second child around Christmas. If any of you guys are in town - Denver this year or St. Louis for the next 4, definitely get in touch, I'd love to see you!

It was great seeing everyone again over the weekend! For those of you that don't know I am still living up in Traverse City. I'm still working at Interlochen Arts Academy but I recently started a non-profit organization and am hoping to do that full time in the near future. The organization is called the Life Through Art Foundation and we will be providing scholarships to young secondary school students pursuing arts education. We also send professional artists into schools as guest artists and lecturers. We will be having a big fundraiser in Los Angeles next March so those of you in the LA area can expect an invitation! And for anyone visiting the TC area between July 31 and August 8 I will be performing as Rizzo in "Grease" at the State Theatre in downtown Traverse City.

For those of you who knew my sisters, both are well. Shila is getting married this fall and is a pediatrician in Cincinnati. Sheba is at Johns Hopkins getting her MD/MPH. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the reunion.

What a crazy thing that reunion was. I'm still absorbing it, and I didn't even make it past the doorman at the Moose. Mike, who apparently hasn't aged a day, showed up without a valid picture i.d. and his credit card didn't cut it (nor did a fellow classmate's i.d. [sorry for that]), so he, Merritt and I were bounced out. We were all sorry we didn't get to see some more of you, but glad to have caught glimpses at the other things. Bloomfield Hills is ruled with an iron fist! p.s. Matt, thanks again for putting all this stuff together. It's fun to see.

Well here is my update. I am married now for almost two years, living in Wake Forest, North Carolina with my wife Christy. We met in college, and we have actually been together for seven years. We are expecting our first baby in late October, a fact which will not only change our lives dramatically (for the better), but will also shatter the world of our 2-year-old golden retriever Zoey, who is the most spoiled dog on Earth. I am lucky to say that I work for a professional hockey team, the Carolina Hurricanes, as Assistant GM. We are currently getting beat by the Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Finals 3 games to 1. Pretty exciting to be involved in something I have watched since I can remember. We will see what happens...Anyway, wish I could have been there to see what the 10 year reunion was like, it just didn't fit into the schedule. Take Care Everyone.

So great to see so many of you last weekend and a special thanks to our class secretaries for a job well done and a great website. For those of you who I wasn't able to catch up with, here's a quick update (so that I can get the link and see the photos!): I'm married and living in Ferndale with a starter family consisting of Abby, my wife and our year old Flat-Coat Retriever, Nemo. Still doing PR, though I switched agencies a few years back to Airfoil PR. It was a blast to catch up and hear what everyone has been up to in the last 10 years... we've got a very colorful class! Special thanks to young Braden Alexander (Elise and Scott's son) for ensuring that my wife enjoyed herself at the reunion festivities as much as I did.

It was so great to see all of you---and I know that technically speaking, I shouldn't have been at your gathering....but I did go to school there for ten years!! As Amanda commented, "Oh my gosh, are you crashing our party??" The latest is that I am living in Chicago and working for Northern Trust in the International Marketing & E-Commerce Group. I absolutely love the city---and I'm taking advantage of beautiful Lake Michigan and all that it has to offer. I will be doing my third triathlon in August, (Chicago has the world's largest triathlon) so wish me luck! I'm not married and I don't have any children---and that's the complete update. If any of you are in Chi-town, please email me! I would love to meet up for drinks!

Pretty sly, making us post to get the link...but I guess if Matt can be up at 2am making the site, I can write in. After spending a year working on getting into grad school, I'm actually going in the fall. I'll be studying Industrial Ecology at the School of Forestry at Yale (yeah yeah, I know, I feel obnoxious even saying it, ugh). I'm extremely excited to do something I enjoy so much, but I'll really miss being back in Michigan, as brief as my return was. Like everyone else, I'll say that it was great to talk to everyone this weekend, and in case you missed the event, Cranbrook is still as beautiful a place as ever. Oh yeah, and if anybody in the area wants to get together to watch a hockey game soon, drop me a note. :)

For those of you that I didn't get a chance to talk to at reunion or weren't there, here's an update on what I've been up to recently. I've been living in New York for the last three years. The first year I was getting a masters degree in Organizational Psychology. Since graduation I've been working at Goldman Sachs in the Organizational Effectiveness group. We function as internal consultants to firm leadership on performance management and professional development of their people. I love living in New York (much to my surprise) and plan on being here for awhile.

back with the NYC Board of Education as a Family Worker. I'm working with families who live in homeless shelters. It's rewarding, though at times heart-breaking, work. My real passion(and the thing I devote the lion's share of my time and energy to) is Professional Wrestling. I'm currently wrestling for a small promotion based in Brooklyn called The World of Unpredictable Wrestling(WUW). I just won the promotion's North American Championship during a match in Brooklyn. I'll be defending the title this July in Pennsylvania. Wish me luck. I was overjoyed to see so many classmates at this years reunion. If any of you are in the New York Tristate area, please drop me a line. I'd love to get together with all of you. Good luck and God bless.

I should prolly post an update myself... I left Ad Age in Jan. of 2001 and spent a 16 months as a full-time freelancer. I did a lot of writing and some consulting for my former employers, and got some of my rock writing and photography back on track. I also did a lot of travelling, which was a blast. I stayed on some of your couches. But this spring I felt like it was about time to get back to the Real World (not the one produced by Anne Swan and webcast by Kate Zyla) so I am now the Marketing and Communications Director for a company called Unison-Maximus. We're a consultancy specializing in Airport Retail Concessions Management and planning. The new Detroit terminal is one of ours, as is O'Hare, Newark and some others... Just started a couple weeks ago, so I'm still figuring out what I'm doing.

It's good to hear about how everyone's been over the last several years even if wasn't that close with many of you. I've been out in San Francisco for the last 10 years and it's the best place to live in the world. Went to UC Berkeley with Juliana Austin for undergrad. Currently, working as a Senior Mechanical Engineer with Siemens. Yeah, the company name leaves something to be desired but the people are great. Started up a networking/website company on the side. Traveled most of the known world during college and after. Hope to send future kids to Cranbrook if I ever decide to settle down. My bro, Rich, (class '91) is soon to get engaged with Dan Shin's sister, Kim, (class '98). On a sad note, Dan's father passed away of cancer just recently. Please keep the Shin family in your prayers. Take care folks! Rob

Anne, I'm very sorry to hear about your mother. I did indeed know her as Dr. Pell and I'm sure your loss is great. I just saw Elise (Keyser) Alexander, her husband Scott and their child Braden last weekend (May 18) at my wedding in northern Michingan. She is doing great and is considering coming to the reunion. Getting married is my exciting news this week. Normally I'm hosting some public meeting with conservative Ohio farmers and over burdened health departments trying to use public awareness raising to clean up the the Sandusky River Watershed in north central Ohio through voluntary programs! Phew, try explaining that to the general public! I'm a Watershed Coordinator and find my job quite interesting but also difficult. I made fantastic friends during my years at Knox College who scattered around the country. I'm enjoying the local community where I live and work although NW Ohio as a region, in terms of aesthetics and politics, leaves much to be desired. I'm really looking forward to reconnecting with my classmates in a couple weeks! Take care, Monica

After a great senior year in Boston, I studied film at Wesleyan University and moved to Los Angeles after graduation in 1996. I'm still in L.A. and currently the Associate Producer of a television series. On a sad note, my mom, whom many of you knew as Dr. Pell, passed away last Thanksgiving. She is greatly missed.

After reading all the cool stuff posted I felt compelled, though nervous, to add my own story. So, to start from way back, after graduating I bummed around South America for two years, travelling and working. Of course had a great time but eventually ran out of money so returned to the US and moved to Tucson, where I was the manager of small chain of retail stores, specializing in imported knick-knacks from Mexico. Two years of a desk job and my growing obsession with photography led me to apply to some grad schools. I was rejected by every art school but accepted to the one journalism school I applied to. Thank god. I am really learning a lot about and loving photojournalism at the Univ of Missouri in Columbia. Presently I am doing an internship at a great little newspaper in rural Indiana. I still have to return to school for a semester but I'm in no rush, looking forward to doing a couple more internships before I graduate so I can see some more of the country (and take pictures of it). Hope everyone is well. Seth

currently living in Colorado Springs with my husband, Dan, and our daughter, Hannah Elizabeth (she's turning 2 in June). I am currently home full-time and loving it. Prior to having Hannah, I worked as the Guest Relations Manager for The Spa at The Broadmoor Hotel. It was a wonderful experience, but the chaos of working for a five-star resort would have been too much with a newborn, so I retired shortly before Hannah was born. The last 2 years have flown by - becoming a mother has been the greatest gift in my life. We are spending lots of time travelling and enjoying the Rocky Mountains. Looking forward to seeing everyone at reunion - it's been a long time.

I have been living in Los Angeles for the past year and a half with my husband Josh and 2 cats, Ulysses & Penelope. I am working as a Software Engineer at Edmunds.com (where I've been since I first moved to L.A.). Can't really complain- despite the ".com" on the name, my job is stable, and my hours aren't bad. Outside of work, I spend my free time hiking and mountain biking in the Santa Monica mountains near my house, and exploring the greater LA area (it's amazing how big it is). I am very happy in California, and I definitely do not miss the winters. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the reunion becuase I'm having back surgery 2 days before.

I haven't talked to any of you in a very long time, so let me tell you what is new. First, I moved out to LA upon graduating UofM in Mechanical Engineering, which is about the last time I saw any of you. I worked at TRW designing and prototyping microelectronics and optics for Satellite communication for 5 years. During those 5 years I also got my Masters from UCLA, I got married (three years in September), her name is Cindy. I met Cindy at TRW, she is also a mechanical engineer. About a year and a half ago I began working for a start-up company Integrated Micromachines Inc., shortly after my wife Cindy joined me. We are designing an all optical switch using MEMS technology (creates movable miniature mirrors). Users would be telecom system builders like Cisco, Nortel, Juniper, Tellium, etc. Life at a start-up keeps you busy anyway. I look forward to seeing all of you in June (Well some of you anyway). Can't wait to meet your kid Jacob, sounds like a smart kid, good judge of character. Go Wings, go Pistons. Yeah, even though I am in LA, I still root for my teams. (It is tough being a Tiger's/Lion's Fan though)

Sorta similar to Kate, I will be back in Michigan very soon (3 weeks), after living in Chicago for the last 5 and a half years. I recently accepted a new job as the executive director of a literacy program serving low-income Ann Arbor kids. I am very anxious, nervous, and super excited, as this is sort of a promotion for me...albeit at a different organization and in a different city. It's freaky to leave Chicago but I'm ready for something different. I will be living in Ann Arbor with my cat and my boyfriend in a house near Michigan Stadium. Look for our tailgates during football season. Forsberg--if we happen to serve beer to underage fratboys, it would be an accident so don't bust us. Hope everyone is doing well!

Daniel Jefferson 1992 Hey folks,
Good to see some names from the past show up on this web page. I'm still living in sunny Tampa, FL blessed with a strong marraige of 3 years and a 8 month old son named Jalen. I just sucessfully started my own consulting company, Jefferson Technologies, where we specialize in implementing high end Oracle solutions. When I am not growing the business or being a devoted husband and father, I work as a Senior Oracle Database Administrator for Shepherd Systems a datawarehousing company that processes and web-enables airline booking data for major airlines around the world. In September I will be transitioning to a Head of Operations role where I will manage a team of system, network, and database administrators.

I still keep close contact with Victor Arroyo, Aubrey Agee, Dee and Lee (The twins), Leslie King and various other Cranbrook alumni. I look forward to seeing all of you next June for the 10 year reunion. Take care and God Bless!

I am living in a state of utter boredom and severe depression. My entire life has been a complete disaster. I was once married to a wonderful woman but she left me for a hotdog vendor when I couldn't get off the crack. My son is only 3 but has already learned to hate me. I am currently scavenging recyclable cans to pay for my ex-wife's kardio-kickboxing lessons. I hope you are all doing well. Please send money.
