I know that Mike Jones is at the Woodland Animal Hospital here in Tulsa. It is at 51st and Yale (I think). Its been a while sine I have been to town. I live in Owasso now and just love it.

I'm trying to think (I know I should stop that before I hurt myself) who else I have seen or talked to.

BTW was great. I still talk to Angie Gordon's Mom. She was my Dad's admin for years at TU.

There are so many great memories. The great Salt Plains, baseball games, speech competitions, dance class.

Greetings to all my long lost friends from '82! Its been a long time since Ive seen any of you and I sincerly hope that ALL of you are doing well, as for what happened to me well, after graduation I went to NSU and discovered what a fraternity can do to a GPA(say rah Sigma Tau Gamma), then after I was, how shall I put this..um...asked to leave? I went to OSU and majored in electronics(actually saw Terry Harper there), and then wetn to Dallas and became an Electrician for several years. I then fell into repairing ATM machines because of the money involved and then went into video game board design. and am at the computer video game board company now, 3dfx. Take care my friends ...I hope you have a good life

If you are still living in the area or might happen to be visiting that weekend let us know. If you are interested in seeing some old faces or rehashing old friendships drop me and emai. So, that I can pass it on to our class of 82 committee. Our next together is I, think September 25th.
Can't wait to hear from you.

I am so glad I found this website. I have been wanting to try and find old friends from BTW! I have been looking for Marcus Jackson, Wayne Pense, Mary Fusco and Laura Passmore. But I would love to hear from anyone!! Since High School I have been married and divorced (twice)! I am now living in Salt Lake City, Utah with my "someday" husband and our 2 kids. Bryttani-7, Paige-1. I am an at-home mom. Wow, 17 years since I graduated and I can fit it all into one tiny paragraph! HAHA! Please write me and let me know what you have been up to since the days of being a Hornet. Bye the way, did the baseball team ever win a game? ;-)

I'm a graduate of the class of 1982. After college, I went to work for Conoco in Ponca City, OK. My husband, John, met and married in 1989. Since then we've lived in PC, Houston, Singapore, Houston, and now back in Ponca City. John's a civil engineer for Conoco and a violinist (concertmaster) on the side. I'm a youth director at Grace Episcopal Church and sit on several charity boards. We have 2 daughters; Gillian is 4 and Robyn is 2 1/2. I'd like any information concerning reunions and other classmates from classes of 1980-1984, especially Terry NeSmith & Mary Fusco.

Hey, Mike Moan!

Where is your sister?

I lost track of her in 1998. At that time I was a member of the church in Owasso where Pam was a part-time secretary.

I was in Pam and Brian's church youth group when Pam and I were high school seniors.

I REALLY REALLY want to know how your sister and brother-in-law are doing.

If you read my earlier posts, then you would know that Pam and I were in the same class all the way through elementary school.

Not only that, but because I was in Cub Scouts (Pack #72) my mother knew your mother. My mother was a den mother.

And I want to know exactly what you and Robert Byars did that almost resulted in you two being caught by the TPD.

Now please go beg Pam to log onto this website.

Thanks!

OK. It's time for us to talk about our kids. Not all of us were able to attend class reunions.

I'm going to try the "Image "link to show you a photo of Ruth, the girl in Colombia who calls me "Daddy".



"If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone."
Romans 12:18

OK. The photo of Ruth was posted. I apologize for its size. I didn't know how big it would be.

Ruth is 15 and lives in Medellín, Colombia. She has been a part of my life for the past 9 years.
When Ruth was 6 she was trapped in poverty in a war-torn nation. To make matters worse, Ruth's father had abandoned her. I decided to sponsor her through Compassion International.

When she was 11, Ruth came to the conclusion that I was her real Daddy. Thus I accept her as my daughter. To read a couple of her letters to me, click here.

I have a son named Dawson who turned 3 on 24 November 2003. To know what he is like, simply read the "Marvin" comic strip. Dawson is Marvin with dark hair.

OK. Now that I've talked about my kids I am in no danger of being kicked out of the International Fathers Union.

Hi David,

Pam lives in Owasso, and I think they are in the phone book. I told her about the site, and I'll stay on her until she posts. On Robert and my little adventure, maybe we could get him to tell the story. I don't mind telling it, but I don't have his permission.




Mike

Hey Class of 82

If you are looking for Mikel Janitz? He is living in Stillwater, teaching at OSU(I believe) He is married to one of my classmates(84) Dina Contractor. I believe they have two children.

Talk to you soon
Jackie Zuniga, 1984

PS. Hi Richard..

Mike,
I have already checked the Owasso telephone directory. I do not see a listing for Pam under her married name, unless I have forgotten how her married name is spelled.

David,

Try the Claremore listings under Brian's name. If you can't find it that way, I'll email it to you.

Mike

It has been a long time since the day.
I finished my 20 years in the Air Force, and am now going to school at a local communitiy college.
My wife is still in the Air Force and is the reason I live in Mississippi. I have two boys 9 and 16.

The only Alumni I have seen (outside of the reunions) are Andy Gup and Laura Ekdahl (sp?). I know where Sara is. Now, about Dallas ??? Anyone heard from him? Also, if anyone reads this and remembers me "Hi".

Hey Charles,

Congrats on your Air Force career! What are you going to do next?

Mike

It doesn't seem right to call you "Charles".
"Charlie" is what I always called you.

So what rank did you retire at? Did you make Master Sergeant? My father is a retired E-7 First Sergeant.

And just where is Sara? Do you have a mailing address for her? I lost track of her a long time ago. I don't know if she is still married. Gee, I don't even remember who she married.

Charlie, I remember you talking about joining the Air Force back when we were in school. I'm glad that you fulfilled your goal in life.

Mike,
I found a listing for "Brian Raines" in the Tulsa telephone directory. Can you confirm if the following is Brian & Pam's telephone number?

343-7144

And can you remind me of the name(s) of their offspring. Don't they have a daughter?

"If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone."
Romans 12:18

I finished my Air Force career as an E7 (Master Sergent). Had a lot of fun and made it Germany and Spain (and visted many other countries),Korea and Saudi Arabia. As far as what I am going to do next :"Whatever the wife tells me to do "

Where'd everyone go? I show up and post and everyone leaves?? I could get a complex from this.
Yo! Richard Hastings! Speak up!

David,

Try Rains in Claremore.


Charles,

What kinds of things to you get to do. I've crawled around F-4 and F-16's a little for work.
F-4's were a mess.

Mike

Hi to all those that have replied. I'm sure not many people will remember me, as I was not in the popular crowd, I wasn't in the band, I wasn't on the dance ensemble, I wasn't a cheerleader, I wasn't the smartest or cutest; my only claim to fame was that I dated Mark "Heavy" Anderson my junior year. I attended the 15 and 20 year reunions. The twenty year was a blast! I had no idea so many people remembered me from school; people I had no idea knew I existed. I tried keeping in contact with some, but since my email went down at home, I have a few names at work that I email on the regular.
Now for the latest info on me-my daughter is about to graduate high school, and my son is about to graduate middle school (one down, and one to go). I only had two children, married and divorced to a non-classmate. Live in Shawnee OK, working for Social Security Administration for almost 15 years. I get to Tulsa occasionally to visit my mother and other family and friends. Haven't lived anywhere else except Tulsa and Shawnee.

I keep in touch with Sayan Crisp, Mona Darwin, Willie Sells, Tony Ball, Tachona Edwards, Pam Mayes, Cathi Cornelius, Latricia Edwards, Bernard Tomlin, Suddona Blake, Loryree Woods, Kenneth Palmer, Missy Burton. I used to know how to get in touch with my homegirl, Candy Clayton, but she has moved and I've lost touch. Does anyone know where Lisa Randolph is? I saw her briefly at the 20th reunion dance, but she left before I could trade info with her.

Sadly, Mark Anderson died almost 2 years ago in Ft Worth of a massive heart attack. Andre Henderson had sent me an email message telling me that, but I couldn't believe it. I went to visit Mark's mother, and she told me.

Went to Frank Carr's 40th birthday party and saw other classmates, such as his wife, Tracy Hatcher and Raymond "Country" Hancock. I run into Tony Ball and Luke Mason when I'm in town (they are security guards at a nightclub!) Loryree (Lori)Woods lives in Dallas (where a lot of our classmates live); haven't talked to her lately but we email a lot.

I love to get mail (besides bills!), so if you still know how to write in longhand, drop me a line at 1707 N Beard, Shawnee OK 74804, or email me at angela.crawford@ssa.gov. Work is calling, and I'll send this websight link on to all I can!

Glad to see you found this site...it's great! So ole Franklin turned 40! He hassles my daughter every reunion just like he did me during our school years. What a guy. So how does it feel to have a son graduating? How's Shawnee? Our 20th was a wonderful reunion, are we having a 25th or would anyone be interested in doing something this summer?

Never had a desire to work on the flightline, it get cold out there, it gets hot out there, it gets wet out there....you get the picture. No I work as a telephone installer for most of my years, then moved into the 'switch' for the last few. It was fun. People were always glad to see the phone guys! I also liked the fact that I could 'find' a few screws in my pocket and not have to worry about a plane going down
later

Just not enough traffic on here to check every day man...

What are you studying in school bud?

If I were retired, I'd study "home economics" i.e. Sit at home at watching the grass grow...

For those that don't know, Chuck introduced me to the Rocky Horror Picture Show in the summer of '82. It almost got me in trouble with a girl that was interested in me for, um, all the wrong reasons. But I digress. Charles and I must have gone to RHPS fifteen times that summer. I loved it. That, friends, is a bonding experience.

He was the closest thing I had to a best friend. And talk about being from a different world. Charles lived way up north, and though I never felt uncomfortable at his house, it certainly was a lot different than my neighborhood. On the otherhand, he didn't invite me up all that often either. I know that he was at my house a lot more than I was at his.

So Charles, did you lose my email address? I have had the same one for 8 years now :-)

Still in Austin, since 1988.

Richard
