After graduating from the Univ of Tulsa in 1992 I went to work for State Farm Insurance as a Supervisor in their Data Processing Dept. 3 Years later I moved to Lawton, OK to work as an Agency Trainer and now I am back in Tulsa running my own State Farm Agency. My office is located in the North Pointe Building at Pine & Cincinnati. I'm not far from BTW so stop by and see me if you ever visit the school again!

After graduating in '88, I went to OSU for five years (went from a Biology major and art minor to a Graphic Design major and English and Art History minors-credit loss galore!) Came right back to Tulsa in 1993 and have worked at Ziegler's, Channel 2, and am now at Associated Litho (Queen Artiste!) I got married in '94, Mike went to Holland Hall, and we have a little man named Jackson (22 months). Thinking about starting a 'garden art' business, copper bugs to bounce in the hostas, etc. I miss the football games, especially when it's this hot! Send me a hello, I've lost touch with everyone pretty much. Hasta la pasta!

After completing my BA in History at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota (1992), I returned home to serve as a campaign manager for Oklahoma State Representative Bruce Niemi. From June 1993-June 1995, I was an English instructor with the Peace Corps in rural China. It has been a rather circuitous route, but I am currently working on an MA in East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Kansas. I would love to hear from fellow hornets, so feel free to drop me a line.

Well, hello to all of my classmates from the good ol' days. I missed the reunion this summer, somewhat to my chagrin. After high school I embarked on a reckless journey through a number of educational institutions (OCU, OSU, TJC, OU, and NSU), degree plans (Physics, Psychology, Finance, Mechanical Engineering, and finally Mathematics), service industry jobs (waited and bartended for almost 10 years), and other life-shaping experiences (far too numerous to mention here), finally stopping in my present job as a computer consultant. I moved to Dallas about a year ago, but I still trip home to T-town frequently. I would love to hear from some of you from class of '88, and find out how life is treating you, so drop me a line.

I hold a BS in Fire Protection Engineering Tech. from O-State and a law degree from South Texas/Texas A&M.  My wife Julie (an Okie from Muskogee) and I met in Stillwater, and six years later we find ourselves with two wonderful children,Andrew, 3, and Carra, 4 months.  I presently work for a Dallas oil company after several years in Houston. My favorite hobbies include golf, fishing & hunting, but I most prefer spending time with my family.  Take care.

Okay...so I missed the reunion. For those who went, I hope you had the time of your life.  I myself moved to Texas (DFW) in July of '88 and have just tried to experience life. I've been a baker, Videographer, Video Editor, and Computer Tech. Now I get to mix the Video and "Puter" stuff and program computers to run MPEG files of TV shows (some we produced) over satellite. Still alive and clickin' pictures here in the "Third Coast" and would love to hear from any BTW alumni!!!
"Never Supplicate...Appreciate!!

It's great to see this website up and running again. Kudos to the webmaster! Well, after graduation, I went to Langston University and received my degree in Business Administration. Married my college sweetheart. Currently a military wife/stay-at-home mom in Ft. Riley, KS. Two sons Marlon II and Michael. Hello to all. Anyone remember me hit me up at sharilynn7088@yahoo.com

Well, better late than never! After graduating in 1988, I went to OU. Five years later I left with a BA in Public Administration, a BA in French and a minor in Business. I took an interesting jaunt through L.A. for a year. Decided it wasn't for me and moved north to San Francisco. I graduated from Hastings College of the Law in 1998 with a specialty in Tax. Soon after taking the bar I met the love of my life, Joe, and we moved to Marin County to get away from the foggy summers. We got married at All Souls in 2001 - 12 days after 9/11. Amazingly all our relatives made it from across the globe. I practiced (and I use the term loosely) probate law for a few years. I had my beautiful daughter, Olivia, in March of 2003 and vowed to find a new job before my maternity leave was up. Here I am, two years later, in my dream job at the San Francisco Probate Court.

I'm hoping to make it to the next reunion! The ten-year was during the bar exam and the fifteen-year was right after Olivia was born. Such is life.

So send me an email! tverzosa@comcast.net

Hi class of '88.
After graduation I attended the University of Oklahoma where I received my BA in Anthropology. My career took off soon after college with a coal company here in Tulsa. In a few years I got married, moved to McAllen, Texas and gave birth to my first son, Kyle in 1998. A few years later we moved back to Tulsa where I resumed my career with same coal company, divorced my first husband and met the love of my life in 2002. Gary and I have been married for almost 2 years and have a beautiful 11 month old son, Tyler. My 2 boys are the best reason for living! Being a mother is my most rewarding accomplishment. Enjoy the pic

Congratulations Darla. Your boys are adorable! And I definitely see the resemblance.

Here's a picture of my girl - I forgot to add it to my post.

Hi Darla,
Hi Trudy,

I remember both you guys. Darla and I were on pom together, and Trudy was the cheerleader/rapper. You guys missed the 10 year reunion. It was awesome. You guys have adorable children. About me....Let's see. Moved back to Tulsa about a year ago after travelling all over the world with my ex-husband (recently divorced). I have two exceptional sons ages 10 and 5, and I work for TPS at Hale HS (nothing at all like our H.S. days), but I love what I do. It's good to know that you guys are doing ok. Hopefully our 20 year reunion will be just as good if not better than the 10 year, and I hope you guys make it. Take care.

Hey Shari! Of course I remember you too! Sounds like we will all have plenty to talk about at the next reunion! I'm jealous of your world travels.

Please post pics of your boys. We should figure out a way to set up a photo gallery for our families. I'd love to see everyone!

Trudy

Hello all,
This is Verbeana McDonald; now Verbeana Hatton. I live in Lancaster, Texas with you know who---Timothy Hatton and our four children.

Hey girl! I thought that was you. Susan Melton used to teach in the Dallas schools and saw your name for teacher of the year, or something like that. We thought - there could only be one Verbeana! And I'm sure the "Hatton" must be Timothy! So congratulations on the award, the family, and everything else!

Hey Trudy,

Believe it or not; there is another Verbeana in Dallas. She happens to be related to me through my stepfather. Thanks for the congrats!! How are you doing?? Do you have children??
I am a high school counselor now. When I go to the games so many memories come rushing back. It is so fun watching young people enjoying life because they have no idea what real life is like.

Hi All,

This is Ericca Stedham, now Douglas. I live in Houston, Texas. I got my B.S. in Administration of Justice from Texas Southern University and my Masters in Christian Education from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. I used to work as an Area Director for Prison Fellowship Ministries. I am currently a stay-at-home mom and have 3 children (Kendrah, Isaiah and Faith). I'd love to hear from my long lost friends from the class of 88!

I have missed both reunions but I intend to make the next one.

Hello,

This is Michael Cobb. I live in Lexington, KY. I graduated from Sullivan University in 2004 with a BA in Information Technology. I am currently employed at the Social Security Administration. I am also a foster parent and will be adopting soon. I would love to here from anyone out there. It's almost time for our reunion. Let me know if I can help at all.

Hey Class of 88! I got my BA at OU in Journalism and Mass Communications with a minor in Sociology. During college I worked at the Clinique Counter in Norman, and soon after graduation I had an opportunity to promote into management in the company. I worked as the Account Coordinator for Dillard's and helped to manage the 14 Clinique counters in Okla. and 4 in Kansas. That was too much traveling for me and decided that two journalists in the family was one too many, so I decided to go back to school. I got my Master's of Human Relations at OU in Professional Counseling. I am now a licensed counselor. I am now married with two kids, Kalina born in 2001 and Landon in 2006. My husband works in the journalism field as editor of the Oklahoma Gazette (in OKC) and I am the director of an intensive outpatient program at Youth Services for Oklahoma County. Most of our clients are court involved, many are gang bangers. They find it amazing that this white girl can rap, but have to give props because I can still bust a rhyme, but only after copious amounts of begging.

Hey Darla Miller!
Do you remember the Chicken Club?
Kim

Hey guys,

It's almost time for our reunion. What's going on?

Michael

Hey everyone! After way too much education, I have ended up in LA doing employee benefits stuff for an entertainment/media company. Love love love LA, mostly because of the weather, but I think my love is only possible because I live about 2 miles from work and so don't really have to deal with the traffic.

Hey guys! I changed my email and forgot to change it here so I didn't get the notifiers for the new posts.

Two Verbeanas...in Dallas no less! Wow! ) Hey Special K - I still bust out the man rap once in a while. I work at the SF court and I've renamed our judge Reezy D (short for the Reasonable Judge Dearman) and did the man rap. He was most impressed. LOL.

Any news on the 20th reunion? I plan to make it this time!
