My family has moved from Dover and live here in the Minneapolis suburbs.  My Mom has a great barn where I keep my horse Josephine.  Josie and I are big into fox hunting (yes, they still do that in the States!).  I am an Executive Producer at a Animation/Special Effects company that works on music videos and TV commercials.  If you saw the latest Hilary Duff video or a Target ad, you know my work.  Can't wait to see all the alum this summer!!!!

I went to Keene State after high school and graduated in 2002 with a BA in English and Women's Studies.  I lived for a random year in Buffalo, NY with Jessica Mucci doing bascially nothing.  Then I moved to Chicago with Erin Laplante in 2003 (met Jen Philbrook and Amanda Akerman out there).  I worked in Chicago for four years as the Head Start Coordinator at Action for Children.  I have very recently moved to Easthampton MA where I am running an antique store with some dude from the Antique Road Show and also flying all over the country doing field tech & antique/art appraisal work for the same company.

In Chicago I had been taking pictures for local Chicago rags & websites and hope to take what I learned there to create my own nightlife website this winter in Nohorthampton MA.  I have also written and published articles for Curve magazine and Tuffy Feminist Zine (working hard to get into Bust or Bitch).  I dance neo-political-burlesque and also perform on random stages with Gender Force, the Lickity Split Radicals, and xxx-esoterica. 

My highlight of the past few years was performing at the Sundance Independant Film Festival with Jinx Titanic and the Lickity Split Radicals.  I live in Easthampton now with my partner, Gwen, and our two kittens, Quintin & Roger.

I haven't changed very much from high school.  I live in a house with my fiancé.  I have a dog named Emma.  She is a boxer that weighs in at 45 lbs.  My job is fairly exciting.  I design software at a startup company (we're still in business after 4 years ).  I somehow ended up with the title "Chief Systems Architect" which sounds nice.  My musical talents have increased as I now play quite a few more instruments and I've kept up with music since high school.  I graduated from UNH with a degree in Microbiology and completed 3/4's of a master's degree in computer science before stopping school to start my current job.  I  have a 75 gallon fish tank with a "Nemo" in it.  And I drive my favorite sports car (a Civic Si :) ).

My wife and I live in Washington state.  Michelle and I were married last April.  I am an insurance agent, she works for a non-profit organization and we have a six year-old daughter named Jocelyn.  Life is good.  Please pass my best wishes on to our fellow classmates, and maybe we’ll see you at the next reunion!!

After three colleges, five majors and the realization that I had worked at Dunkin’ Donuts a little too long, I finally graduated from UNH with a bachelor’s degree in business administration- concentrating in advertising/marketing.  I am currently employed as an Assistant Vice President/Marketing Director for a local, mutual savings bank.  It’s very fast paced work, but fun.  I took a group trip to Ireland in 2002, which must have been fate at work as I met my best friend, Doug, there.  Turns out he grew up in Manchester!  We married January 08, 2005 (in the middle of a blizzard) high in the mountains of Sugar Hill, NH.  You may recognize a few fellow alumni from the attached photo.  Doug and I purchased our first home together in Barrington and reside there with our dog, Jake and two cats, Maxie and Ella.  In my spare time, I train and compete with Great Bay Masters Swim Team.  

After high school I headed to the BIG APPLE and graduated from FIT with a Bachelors in Fashion Merchandising.  I worked at Glamour Magazine for 3 years in the accessories department.  From there I went to US WEEKLY as the accessories editor and have been here for just about 3 years.  I've gotten to meet some very cool celebrities all while playing with shoes, bags and jewelry.  If I'm not at a fashion show or at an event I'm home with my two boys (ohhh no...not babies)!!!

John Thomas and I are still together and live in Soho with our Frenchie, Jack.

5 weeks after high school graduation I left for the Army and stayed in for 9 years. I have lived in many places, to include North Carolina, South Korea, Texas, New York, and Virginia. It took me a while, but I finally got an AA Degree in Liberal Arts from Saint Leo University in July 2005. I am currently working on my BS in Legal Studies at University of Maryland University College. Last October I finally hung up the combat boots and settled in Severn, Maryland, which is between Baltimore and D.C. I am currently working as paralegal for the Department of the Army. I have a daughter named Kaliyah Brianna that will be 3 on May 27^th.

Let’s see, I moved to Burlington, Vermont after HS and froze my butt off for about six years.  I graduated from UVM with a Bachelor of Arts in English, concentrating mostly in non-fictional writing.  My Junior year was spent in Canterbury, England where I learned that I understood Shakespeare; and loved Scotland.  I met some fabulous people, and traveled far and wide testing what Europe had to offer in the art, music and alcohol fields.  I fell in love with a brilliant Scottish lad, and then before I realized what hit me, my time in the Old World was up, and I headed back to the iciness of Vermont.  I moved in with my best friend, finally graduated, and oh yea – fell in love again...with the best friend.  Oops!  I worked at a dead end job, doing graphic design with a duplication company.  I loved, I laughed, and older I grew.  One day I realized though I was growing, I was in fact growing dumber by the second, and wanted – no, needed – something new; something more.  I applied for graduate school, and headed down south.  I lost a few things on the move – my heart, my sanity, and my bed.  But, I graduated two years later with a Master of Science in Criminal Justice, and have quite a few academic publications under the old belt, thanks to the effort.  All in all, it’s all the same.  Great friends, good laughs, a brilliant family, and lots of hard work.  I currently work for Global Compliance Services in Charlotte, North Carolina (yes, I realize how lame it is for me to live here, of all places in the world) where I assist the whistleblowers of the world to blow their whistles.  Perhaps a PhD is in the cards?  Perhaps a family of my own?  Perhaps just living, loving, and laughing.  Anything is possible from here…

After high school I went to lovely Troy, NY to study computer engineering at RPI.  Two years later I realized that I had much better things to do with my life, and spent the next few years trying to figure out what those things were.  During that time I moved back and forth several times between Seattle and New York, finally coming to rest in Seattle about four years ago.

In 2004 I graduated from the Brian Utting School of Massage, and I'm now a licensed massage practitioner in Washington.  The majority of my employment over the last few years has been as a caregiver for a man with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), though I'm now trying to branch out and expand my massage practice.

I recently celebrated five years as a vegan, which has been a huge positive influence in my life.  In my spare time I practice Ashtanga yoga, and try to enjoy the sunshine (when it's not raining).  I look forward to seeing everyone at the reunion!

After graduating, I began working at MBNA.  I worked there for 7 years, moving my way up the corporate ladder.  While at MBNA I traveled quite a bit and lived in Farmington, ME, Abilene, TX, Grand Junction CO, Pocatello, ID, and Aliso Viejo CA.  My last position there was as a Regional Sales Manager overseeing different offices on the West Coast.  I was traveling way too much and decided to quit there to stay in the beautiful weather of CA.  I moved out to Huntington Beach, CA with Gary Folger and Ryan Murphy in 2003 and will probably stay out here forever.  I used the sales experience I learned at MBNA and am now working in the mortgage industry as a Branch Manager for a mortgage company called DCS Mortgage in Irvine, CA.

I'm still big into sports and make sure that I catch at least 2 Sox games at Fenway every year.  I've made it a point to catch the Sox at different cities while they are on the road and am working on seeing all of the Major League stadiums.  How about that 2004 season?!?!?

I've had the same girlfriend for almost a year now and am just enjoying the warm weather of Orange County.  I can't believe that it has already been 10 years, we're getting old!!!  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and am enjoying reading the updates.

After high school, I went to UNH to study Computer Science. I met my future wife, Jessica, while we were freshmen - she was living in the dorms and I was sort of living on her neighbor's couch. We started dating as sophomores and the year after that, I got a haircut and we spent the summer in France (I don't speak any French, so Jess helped me out there).  After graduation, we moved from Dover to Waltham, MA. I got work doing computer stuff and Jess got a job with Brandeis University. We lived there for 2 years and then found an apartment in Harvard Square so that we could be closer to the city. We've known that we wanted to get married since college and we tied the knot last June - we had a great time planning our wedding, the day was perfect, and I think that we threw a pretty good party :)  I'm now on my fourth software job since UNH (I'll skip the story of each one) and Jess left her Brandeis Study Abroad advising job last
summer in order to start taking classes again. We just bought an apartment in Charlestown, Boston and we'll be moving in a couple weeks. We both have grad school on our minds and we'd also like to go abroad and live somewhere else for a while.

That's pretty much it. Jess and I are stuck like glue and having a great time together. We don't know what the hell we are going to do with our lives - but we're having fun.

It is really nice to read all the updates.  The class of 1996 has had some adventures in the past 10 years.  As for me, I headed to Keene State and graduated in 2000 with a BA in English with Secondary Teacher Certification.  I have been teaching English at Pelham High School ever since, the impact Mrs. O had on me is amazing.

While at KSC I met my husband, Chris.  We married in 2001 and bought a house in Goffstown, NH.  Our son, Ronan Feliks, was born in 2003 and we recently had a baby girl, Gloria Zofia, on December 19, 2005.  Our two cats, Daisy and Duke, and our dog, Remy, complete our family.

After DHS I attended Plymouth State (partied way too much) and graduated in December 2000.  Two months after graduation I was hired by the Buffalo Bills as a Strength & Conditioning Assistant.  I spent the 2001 season working for the Bills.  In February 2002 I was hired by NFL Europe to be the Head Strength & Conditioning coach for the Berlin Thunder in Berlin, Germany.  After returning from Germany I enrolled in grad school at Springfield College in MA.  I spent the next two years going to school and working for the Bills during the summers.  After grad school (2004) I went to work for the Buffalo Sabres (NHL).  I was there for only 3 months before I was laid off due to the lockout and cancelation of the NHL season.  I then moved to Clearwater Beach, FL (Jan. 2005) with Theron Alex.  I spent the next two months golfing and drinking before getting the offer for my current job.  I am entering my second year as an Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Chicago Bears.  I love Chicago...it is unreal.  Hope everyone is well.  Hope to here from all of you soon.

I graduated from Keene State College in 2000 with a BA in journalism. In that same year I married Dave Weeden,  had our first daughter, Brighid Margaret,  became an Irish citizen and moved to Milford, NH. I made a decision to be a stay-at-home mom and reported evenings for a local newspaper.

In 2002 we had our second daughter, Shayla Molly, and we agreed that we wanted to move where there was a slower pace to life. So, we bought our house here in Concord, NH where i remain at home with our girls!

After graduation I moved south to Connecticut to attend Trinity College, whose mascot is a rooster.  I graduated with a BS in Chemistry in 2000, and almost minored in Creative Writing and beer.  After Trinity I came stumbling back home to NH and enrolled in the Earth Science program at UNH, where I finished my MS in Chemical Oceanography in December 2002.  In March 2003 I left the country with a backpack and some guidebooks and did a round-the-world trip for six months, with stops in Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, and Central and Eastern Europe.  After six months, 13 countries, two cars and five pairs of shoes I was back in NH again.  Six months after returning I went from being broke, homeless and unemployed to working at UNH as a coastal and estuarine chemistry researcher and buying a small run-down duplex in Dover, where I live with my girlfriend, Jess.  I spend my free time skiing, cycling, doing half-assed home improvements, avoiding signing up for a PhD program, and lying in a hammock.

My journey in life for the last ten years has been fantastic.  After graduation from DHS, I went to a Community College for two years earning an Associates degree in Early Childhood Education.  I decided to take several years off to become a full time nanny.  In those years I bought a duplex in 2000, married a magnificent man named Todd Crossman in 2001, decided to give college another try and graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts.  I currently am enrolled in Graduate School for Elementary Education.  In 2004, Todd and I built a house in Rochester, NH.  We share this house with our beautiful chocolate lab, Guyver.  I am still a full time Nanny for four breathtaking children.  No, Todd and I do not have any children as of right now!   

In my spare time I love to spend time with Guyver, ski, work out, and spend quality time with my niece and two nephews.  I look forward to seeing and hearing from everyone.

I haven't done anything too exciting since high school. A few years after, I moved to Boston with my friend, Ron Bilodeau.  I did a little bit with web and graphic design.  Moved back to Dover after living in Boston became too expensive.  Now I live in Nashua with my girlfriend, Kristin, who I'm very much in love with.  We have a kitten named Jynxx, he's a scrapper.  I'm currently doing inventory control for Apple Computers.

It all started when I left Harvard.  I had been studying schmoozing beer and illegal subway riding when it dawned on me that there had to be something more- and there was.  So I packed up the yugo and headed West.  First stop- Chicago which is where i discovered the 8th wonder of the world- $1 beer.  Old style.  God Bless. 

When the beer ran out I kept on truckin' through Nebraska and had to stop to pee in Colorado and thought, "this place is fucking gorgeous!  I wonder how cheap the beer is?"  So I settled in and found some gainful employment as a ski patroller at Beaver Creek and was just starting to figure out why people call it "the beaver" when I got the call.  I had heard about this call for many years and tried my hardest to figure out the auto-forward so as to avoid it but it finally caught up to me.....I answered, interviewed, and am now racking in the big money as a biophysicist for NASA and spend my moonlight hours as a Coors Light girl.  I hope to be at the reunion.  It all depends on a top secret, double agent mission I have been assigned to....

I left scenic Dover, New Hampshire in 1996 for the armpit of America: New Jersey. After graduating from Rutgers University in 2000 with a degree in Communications I took a year back in NH to regroup and decided to try my hand in the Midwest with Amanda Akerman, Sue Ashman and Erin Laplante.

The summer of our graduation pretty much sucked for me.  The morning after graduation I got in a car wreck on Route 4 - I wasn't really hurt, but it was a lousy start to a lousy couple of years.  The following Spring I attended this *wicked* $20,000 party called "UNH".  That was an expensive mistake.  Anyhow, I got kicked out of UNH and spent some "quality" time working at a small printing plant as a machine operator.  I'm just glad I was at least smart enough to see that I was a dumbass, and on the start of a road to nowhere.  I went back to college, still a dumbass, but managed to cruise through with good grades on medium effort (a little like high school).  So I graduated (still a dumbass, mind you), juggled three part-time jobs while looking for a full-time job in the software industry, and eventually took a position at Heidelberg Web Systems (now Goss International) engineering control systems for large commercial printing presses.  Somehow, events taking place over the next couple of years turned me into what feels like a completely different person: Started traveling (sometimes out of the country) 2 weeks out of every month for
press upgrades (working 60 to 80 hours per week in the field), had gut-wrenching breakup with girlfriend of 4 years, then randomly went to Zimbabwe for 2 weeks to help rebuild cyclone damage in a village called Chibuwe.  I think it was the trip to Zimbabwe that really did it - spending so much time *SO* far outside of my comfort zone really put my life into perspective and triggered a whole different outlook toward life on my part.  Suddenly I felt like more of an adult human being instead of a screwed up kid, and the world seemed like a smaller place.  The things I had always feared dealing with now seemed almost insignificant.  It's safe to say that I have changed for the better over the years.

I'm still working as a software engineer for Goss and have had some great travel experience, including trips to Kent in England and Zel Am See in Austria.  Austria is *highly* recommended (the finest cars, and the finest schnapps).  Most of my business trips are spent working 14 hour days inside hot, smelly printing plants, but I usually end up with at least a little bit of time to see some sights.  In my spare time I contribute to the Linux community and am involved in a couple of small open sourced development projects.  If I'm not in front of a Linux box in my spare time, then I'm swinging a wrench underneath one of our cars (I have a more-than-healthy obsession with VW Rabbits, Golfs, Sciroccos, Corrados, etc).  Being the freakish mix of amateur mechanic and computer nerd that I am, I recently started a blog focusing on various car-related things in my life (see http://www.digitaldownpour.com/blog ).  In April 2004, I married a lovely English girl named Claire and we couldn't be happier.  We're actually in the process of buying our first house together and if all goes well then we will be moving into our new home in the middle of June.  One winter I rebuilt my snowmobile engine on a weight bench in our bedroom because it was too cold to do it outside.  Needless to say, Claire is incredibly happy that we'll be moving to a place with a nice garage so that will never ever have to happen again.

The picture was taken in Chibuwe - I'm on the left, and the guy not wearing a hat is actually my dad.  I owe pretty much everything (includingmy ridiculous obsessions with computers and cars) to my dad.

I have really enjoyed reading all of the biographies and “catching up” with all of you.  There are so many more people to hear from… After high school I was ready to get the hell out of dodge and was fortunate to spend four fabulous years in Boston as a BU undergrad, where I earned my BA in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.  Reluctant to leave Beantown, I decided to pursue my education further and moved to (not so fabulous) Cleveland, Ohio, where I entered the Ph.D. program in Genetics at Case Western Reserve University.  It was there I met my amazing husband, Michael, a Los Angeles native and fellow graduate student.  Somehow we made it through the stress of grad school without killing each other, and after five years it was time to move on and out of the poorest city in the nation.  We recently landed in Maryland, bought our first home and began post-doctoral research positions at the National Cancer Institute, where we are working to identify genes involved in cancer.  Two months after we started our new jobs, our bosses announced that they are moving their lab to Singapore!  We are excited to join them in September and experience life on the other side of the world while taking advantage of the many research opportunities afforded to us there.  No kids yet, much to the dismay of our parents, but we’re enjoying life and hope all of you are as well!

Life has been so busy since highschool--I've had my head buried in books until just recently.  I graduated from UNH in 2000 with a BA in Psychology.  After graduation, I moved down to Boston and spent a couple of years doing stroke research.  I then moved up to Portland, ME for a few years and got my Masters in Nursing at the University of Southern Maine. 

I recently moved back down to Boston, where I now live with my boyfriend, Josh.  I practice as a Nurse Practitioner in internal medicine. I'm thinking of taking a job in NH, so maybe I'll come across one of you as my patient!

After high school I moved into a house with Theron Alex and Bob Blough on Park St in Dover.  I spent most of my time working and drinking.  In 2001 I moved to Fryeburg, Maine and worked as a Ski Technician and spent the winter working and skiing.  In 2003 I got my Associates Degree in graphic design and moved to Fort Myers, FL.  Six months later my girlfriend, Angela, and I bought a house in Cape Coral, FL where I live now. 

As far as work, I spent a year working for a small printing company doing production work, then left for a job where I currently am now as a designer for Matteo Graphics in Cape Coral, Florida designing logos, signs, and advertising for individuals and companies all over Southwest Florida.  Six months ago Theron Alex and myself started our own design/clothing company called kickbored which is currently a part-time gig for us until the summer of '06.  You can check us out at http://www.myspace.com/kickbored.

I still keep in touch with a lot of my close friends from high school, but it's interesting to see how everyone else turned out. 

Its something else to see how much everyone has accomplished in 10 years.  Wow!  As for me 2 years after High School I enlisted in the US Navy and toured the world 3 seperate times.  Many ports, many countries, many everything.  I relocated to San Diego, CA attached to the (CVN-74) USS John C Stennis Aircraft Carrier.  As an E-5, and after 5 years of service I parted ways with the Navy and elected to move to Los Angeles to attend Flight School.  I received my Helicopter Private Pilot's license and certification.  I am currently still flying and working toward my Commercial license along with attending Cal State University Northridge  persuing my degree in Ground Water Hydrology.  "Water Filtration" as per the daily life I am the Senior Sales Rep and Engineer for a Commercial Water Treatment Coprotaion, BBWF Technologies Inc.  I  have been in California since 1998, almost 7 years.  5 years in San Diego and the past 3 years in Sherman Oaks (Los Angeles) with my girlfriend of 3 years, Gillian.  The weekdays are very busy but on the weekends I like to snowboard at Mountain High or stay local and play Golf by day and Ice Hockey on Saturday nights.  Marriage and kids are a few years away for I am still fully occupied.  I will be back for the reunion.  Best wishes to all.

After Dover High School, I went to Plymouth State College  for a short time. After getting enough of the New Hampshire lifestyle, I decided to move out West to California.  I stayed there a short time before departing to Seattle, Washington where I help my cousin run his business.  Of course, I missed home, and the snow too much and decided to come home after a total of a year or so and headed back to school at good old- Macintosh College in Dover.

Man! time flies!  I am married, bought a house in Barrington, and work for Direct Capital in Portsmouth as a sales manager. Life is good!!

Lets see, after high school I went to college in the wonderful warm state of Arizona to Universal Technical Institute.  Spent 2 years out there with Jason Cote, Roger Gray, awesome time learned allot.  Then packed my bags and came home been working for Robbins Auto Parts for 8 yrs now and have a home in Rochester, with 2 cats.  Kind of funny that you spend some money to go to college and end up not doing what you went to college for.

After high school I went to Plymouth State College for 4 years.  There I met my husband, Brandon, at his fraternity.  We both graduated in 2000 with teaching degrees.

In October, 2002 we were engaged and planning a 2003 summer wedding when Brandon's unit (Army Reserves) got deployed.  We did a quick JP wedding only later to find out he wouldn't be going because of a promotion to be an officer.  We were able to go through with our church wedding in July 2003.  We spent 2 weeks in Hawaii for our honeymoon.

Two years ago we bought a house in Manchester.  I have been working as a special ed teacher in an elementary school in Derry for 6 years.  Brandon and I had our first daughter, Madison, on July 1st, 2005.  See you at the reunion!
