Name: Stuart Anderson MessageI have made a few changes since the 10 year reunion. I moved to Bakersfield, CA with Kmart and opened a new store as the General Store Manager. I decided to make a change and left Kmart after being with them 12 years and went to work for OfficeMax as a store manager and was with them for over a year. I finally got tired of the retail world and decided to sale real estate. I was a realtor in Bakersfield for about a year and half. I then had the chance to move back to Bozeman and become a mortgage loan officer and I jumped at the chance to move back. I was with Norwest Mortgage for little over a year and made another change to Mann Mortgage. I am still single and looking but with all the moves and changes I have not put too much effort into it.

CommentsThanks for the great site! It is a nice way to find out what everyone has been up to.
Name: Mark Gary MessageCeleste (Manseau) Hansen’s prediction that I would eventually turn into a Republican has yet to come true. However, I am married, have two kids, a dog, own a mini-van, try to keep my lawn mowed and wear a tie to work everyday– so what’s the diff eh, Celeste? Let’s see -- went to college at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon and lived in Washington, D.C. for a few years after college and then moved to Seattle to attend law school at the University of Washington. In 1987 married Di while we were both in grad school at the UW -- and a few years later had babies (Rachel, now 8 and Connor, 5). Santa Claus recently brought us a black lab puppy that has added a new dimension of chaos to our lives. I practice law in downtown Seattle and do work primarily for health care industry types. I spend a fair bit of time day- dreaming about the Bridgers, the Hyalites, the Spanish Peaks, Lone Mountain and thinking about how I can spend more time in Montana..... Wishes
WhoThe “new” Dave Allard who (a) recently renounced his membership in the NRA, (b) watches Oprah religiously, and (c) now claims to be more in touch with his feminine side. CommentsThanks to the organizers for their hard work on this event.
Name: Sheri (Prunty) Owens MessageMost of my big life changes happened in the first 10 years after high school: music degree at Indiana, getting married, moving to Chicago suburbs (which I swore wouldn't last more than 3 years-the traffic gave me a headache). We've lived here 16 years now, and it's for good. I've grown very attached to the culture the city has to offer. For me, it's the best of both worlds since I get to go to Bozeman for vacations (white Christmases and wonderful summers). Back to life changing events...Katharine was a tiny baby at the 10-year reunion. My single best achievement of the past 10 years is my 6-year-old son, Will. I have a job that I love. Teaching high school kids is the best. I sing with the Chicago Symphony Chorus which has been very exciting. WishesEverything the committee has planned sounds great! WhoLongfellow people, chorus and band people, old friends! Comments
Name: Clifford Abraham MessageLife Happened. It's been good. WishesAbove Ground. WhoEveryone Comments
Name: Jennie Baker-Jones MessageI am happy to say I've been married for the last 19 years to a wonderful man. We have 2 children-Jason age 19 just finished his 1st year at MSU in Billings and is planning on attending college in Missoula this fall, boy does that make a person feel old or what?? Our 2nd bundle of joy is our 15 year old daughter Chrissy, she just finished her freshman year in high school and is going to start drivers ed on monday. I work at the Deaconess Billings Clinic as a Patient Accounts Claims Specialist-Gotta love those HMO's(just kidding. My husband Terry works for Supervalu. Life has been good, and if by some strange reason any one noticed my name Jennie Jones (yes the same as the Talk Show Jenny Jones) go ahead make my day and give me a hard time-I have to warn you I have some pretty good come backs), ok just giving you a hard time. Only thing I can say is even though its been 20 years, I still may not look like a I did back then, (a few more pounds, maybe some grey hairs, which I've earned-haha)remember the great times at BSHS!!!

Name: Annette Turner Hrinik MessageI've been in Spokane since 1984 living a fairly uneventful life. I've been working for a sheet metal shop for what seems like ever. I haven't been to Bozeman since 1989, hope to get back there again sometime in the near future. Wishes

Whoold classmates and teachers. Comments
Name: Paula (Nielsen) Wills MessageAfter graduating from MSU in '84 with a degree in Industrial & Management Engineering, Ken and I were married one month later and moved to Denver. I worked for 8 years at Martin Marietta Astronautics and during that time we "manufactured" two sons. In 1992, I quit work when Ken was transferred to Brisbane, Australia for a year. We had a blast! It was my first experience at staying home full time, and it actually took some getting used to. Returning to Denver, we added some "pink" to our lives when our daughter was born. I have become so good at "staying home" that I haven't gone back to work yet! Not that I'm ever actually home. It's amazing how much you can do and not get paid a thing! Singing is still an important part of my life. One of the groups I'm in, 4 Praise, put out a CD which was a fun experience. Wishes
WhoAll of you and your offspring too! CommentsSince I flunked the web site photo ID quiz, I sure hope everyone will be wearing nametags! How about maiden name references on the kids' tags too?! Then we can tell who belongs to whom.
Name: David A. Hoover MessageI Joined the US Coast Guard, Feb 1982 and have since been based in Oregon, Hawaii, Kodiak Alaska, Detroit MI, Miami FL, and now Atlantic City, NJ. I have run a marathon, gotten married, have 2 kids and 5 cats and I own my own home. I recently became a Chief in the US Coast Guard. My hobbies are Golf, Running, Cycling, Aikido, Building Wooden Ships, and Reading. WishesI would like to attend but I am unable to. Who
CommentsMy favorite teacher was Mrs. Murphy.
Name: Dave Allard MessageI missed the Ten Year Reunion, so I will give the "condensed 20 year update:" I was able to stay in Bozeman until 1988, when I finally gradualted from MSU. I know all you math whizzes our there have already figured out it took me eight years to graduate, but during that period, I probably got more skiing, fishing and hunting (and hanging out @ the Hofbrau) time in than just about anybody.... Be that as it may, I took a process engineering job with Liquid Air Corp, and moved to Wenatchee WA. After two years in WA, Ann and I moved to the Bay Area of CA, where we stayed until 1997. While in CA, my duties @ Liquid Air kept me travelling A LOT, so it is like Ann and I have only been married about four years instead of the actual ten years. However, I was around enough to fulfill my procreative duties and our daughter Amanda was born on Leap Year Day, 1996. Ever keen to move back to MT, I accepted a position with Advanced Silicon Materials (ASiMI) as the Poly Reaction Manager for the new Butte plant in 1997, and here we remain. I used to think Butte was a joke, and the only reason anyone would go there was to get a Pork Chop sandwich, but eight years in CA re-aligned my prior prejudices in this regard. And no I do not take pictures anymore, all that HawkTalk and Yearbook stuff burned me out on darkrooms for life. WishesI am looking forward to strolling the halls of BSHS as well as the inside of a few local watering holes. WhoToo many to mention. I hope everybody wears nametags, as my memory isn't what is used to be........ CommentsThanks for all the work you guys are doing.
Name: Kathleen Davis Macferran MessageAfter H.S.graduation, a desire to learn kept me on the move. Summers were spent in Germany, Hawaii or biking through the Rocky Mountain states. During the school year I immersed myself in the liberal arts college experience at Whitworth College (Spokane). Philosophy and English literature courses fueled late night discussions, while practice rooms focused my trade. Half my senior year was spent in Hong Kong with side trips to China and the Philippines. Upon my return I graduated with a BA in music performance and education. I then used my hard earned skills to bike from Anacortes, WA to Peaks Island, Maine during the summer of 1984. A life on wheels required some money to sustain, so I taught Jr. High band before biking through the British Isles, Germany and Switzerland in 1985. An empty pocketbook led me to another teaching job in Poulsbo, WA, where I met my husband, JD. Both being teachers, we spent summers backpacking and traveling. Being fond of school, I got my Masters in Choral and Instrumental Conducting from Western Washington University in 1989. The 1990 BSHS reunion was the gateway to my honeymoon in the British Isles and Austria. Back in Seattle, I continued teaching while JD got his Masters in Creative Writing from the University of Washington. I then started an ensemble called the Rainier Chamber Winds(http://members.aol.com/RCWinds/index.html), "retired" from teaching and am currently on my 12th season conducting the ensemble. I occasionally guest conduct in the area and will conduct the Bainbridge Orchestra starting fall of 2000. In 1993, my first daughter, Kayla was born, followed in 1997 by another daughter, Jordan. It hardly seems possible that life can be so rich and demanding. They teach me daily lessons in humility, joy, pateince and creativity. I am deeply grateful for all that has been given to me. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with all those who shared my Bozeman years. My family is eager to see those people and places who so graciously shaped my life. WishesI'm game for anything WhoAh, so many.... Comments

Name: Sheri (Luft) Larsen MessageLeft Bozeman in 1984 for a job that brought me to Denver, and have been here ever since. Married Steve in 1986. Changed jobs in 1988 to work for a small computer company specializing in the bottling industry, and have stayed with them for the past 12 years, first as a traveling trainer, which has since worked into managing the training and support group and project management. Had Andrea in September 1992. Decided to continue working, but changed to part-time starting in 1995, to have more time to play. We spend most of our time at Andrea's activities, getting together with family and friends, working, walking, following the various Denver teams and playing with the dog. My folks moved to Idaho in 1989, so I have only been back to Bozeman once since the 10-year and I am looking forward to getting back again! WishesI hope we have a great turnout! The activities planned for the weekend sound great! Glad to hear about the school tour, and Saturday night sounds like lots of fun! WhoEveryone who can make it.
