I am going through the process of obtaining my teaching certificate and have decided to leave ADP in pursuit of this goal. Friends: Lisa Faseler and various others. I have lost contact with most, except for Lisa. Unfortunatly, there have been a couple of "wierd" experiences involving a few of our better known classmates within the last 5 years or so. Hobbies: Currently, I am a grad student and have been in school for most of my adult life. I guess school would be one of my hobbies along with reading, writing, and enjoying the awesome summers in Arizona. Kids: Chelsea, age 13 and Maci, age 11.

| Damon Cutty writes: Occupation: Mortgage Consultant Bio: Since graduating I married, went through a bitter divorce and custody battle. I relocated to san diego and went to work for my father in the mortgage business, selling money. It's got to be the most rewarding job, both from a financial standpoint as well as the gratification you get making the dream of homeownership a reality. After living in S.D. for 5 years I moved to Bossier City, Louisiana to be close to my son(Devin, that's where the ex is from) and went to work for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. I met my beautiful wife through a couple that I had closed a loan for. Her name is Suzanne and she's the greatest, I never in my life thought I'd be this happy. I guess Gods got a plan for us all and sometimes you have to crawl through crap to get to the good stuff. We've been married now for 2 years this past November and are preggy with a boy due in the later part of May. I was so scared to have another child at my age and all, but since finding out I've become very excited. Friends: I was such good friends with so many people, far too many to list. As far as who I've lost contact with, that would be everybody with the exception of Charlie Baumert, his wife JoAnn, Byron Gonzales, Geoff Shumway, Eric Sorenson, Chris Keister(on occaision) and I used to talk back and fourth with Bryon Huerta. If any of my buddies(that includes the ladies) are out there that I did not list, call me or shoot an email my way. Hobbies: I enjoy lifting weights and I stay heavily involved in my sons school functions, sports etc.. Kids: Devin age 11 and 1 on the way(another stinky boy)his name will be Bleu My son Devin is my heart, he's what has kept me going in the toughest times of my life. He turned 11 in November of 2006 and is in the 5th grade at St. Johns Catholic School. The boy keeps me on my toes, I never imagined I'd be saying the same things to him my parents said to me growing up. I enrolled him at St. Johns his 4th grade year, because the Louisiana public school system is terrible. That year was tough on all of us as he struggled to catch up to the rest of his peers. This year he's on track doing much better, earning A's, B's and a couple C's. I don't tolerate anything less. He plays soccer and baseball, but love's soccer and plays all year long. Grade_school: Thomas Edison Grade_school_friends: Too many to list, they know who they are. Junior_high: Jonas Salk Junior_high_friends: Too many to list." ". Memorable_teachers: Eric Dahlin- Ceramics He was so cool and seemed to understand young men and women, and the challenges of what highschool offered. Mrs. McGuire- English I loved to listen to her when she read to the class. She got so involved in the story and her voice and demeanor would change as the story changed. I don't know she was kind of eccentric. Favorite_memory: The parties, hanging with my friends. I miss all of you and would not change a thing about my 4 years. Well maybe a couple things. Story: Yeah, but I don't know if the language or material is appropriate. I'll keep those for myself. 1/14/07 |

| Steven Smith writes: Occupation: Information Systems Analyst - State of CA Bio: Trying to decide "what to be when I grow up", man that's a tough one, but I finally figured it out. I am going back to school...finally, to get a degree in Architecture. I have always enjoyed designing homes and floor plans, so I figured I might as well get paid (well) to do what I enjoy. Until then, I'll keep up the computer gig with the state (your tax dollars hard at work!) :) Trivia: I would have never guessed that I would buy a house, completely gut it and then put it all back together again! I did and it will soon get a nice addition...that one will be done by someone else. Friends: Lots of Great Friends...Glen Fanning, Randy Onstine, Abe Fuentes, Tawatchi Kodsuntie (TK), Dave Francis, Larry Lane, Rachel Martasian (Daddigan), Janice Barnes, Peggy Crans...the list just goes on and on! I see Rachel every now and then, we live pretty close to each other and our parents are still neighbors, I talk to Glen sometimes and I cross pathes with others here and there. I'd like to hear from anyone out there that would like to call or email and say "Hey!" Hobbies: We love cycling with our kids, going on short trips, two girls in gymnastics is always a sight. I like golfing (when I can make time), bowling and drafting. Kids: Meagan - Almost 10, Emily - 6. Two great little girls (one is becoming a young lady in front of my eyes), but I won't admint to that. Smart and full of P&V as my mother-in-law always said. They're great kids and we all have a lot of fun. Grade_school: K-4 @ Winterstein and 5th-6th @ Cottage. Good times, except for being forced to change schools in 5th grade. Grade_school_friends: Glen, Rachel, Nancy Reid, others that I'm forgetting, I am sure! Junior_high: Wow! What a different experience; Jonas Salk and more new friends. Junior_high_friends: Randy Onstine, Abe Fuentes, Toney Woods (graduated from BV, he always says to tell anyone that he knew "hello".) Memorable_teachers: Mr. Fig was great, what a weird sense of humor, but funny as hell! Mrs.(Senora) Kojima - she was just a nice person that wanted everyone in her classes to do well and enjoy the experience and Mr. Estes for keeping it all real. Favorite_memory: I can't really pull any one memory as a favorite, there were so many good times, it seems like just a short time ago, but it's been almost 20 years. Story: I just want to say...Damn Shannon, you really go on and on, don't you! ;-P Just kidding! I hope to hear from all of you soon! 3/24/06 |
| Shannon Bice writes: Kids: My husband and I had a little boy in September of 2005. Big sister is thrilled and we are truly blessed! 1/21/06 Occupation: Office Administrator - Contracting Firm Bio: Since graduation, I have lived the life of a 40 year old woman. I took a couple fo years off to goof off then enrolled in city college. I could not seem to find a niche for myself there, so I explored the option of just working and focusing on life in general. In September of 1992 I married the first time and left him only after 5 months. I tell ya, this man had "LOSER" written all over his forhead, but I just could not read it at the time. A few months later I met a gentleman and married him in September of 1994. This marriage lasted 4 1/2 years. He gave me a beautiful daughter named Sammie and is an exact replica of me. I am now getting married for the FINAL TIME (I know, some of you are saying yikes) - It just takes some of us a little longer to find the right person. I'll be getting married April 29th of this year and my new name will be Shannon Sandman (ha, ha). I will also be a military wife as well. I must say that this is the happiest I have ever been in my life. Anyways, more boring details - I graduated from college in 1999 with a BS degree in Criminal Justice (finally!). My fiance' and I moved to Colfax in October of 2000 and now live in the beautiful motherlode area with great views and a beautiful home to fill with family. I have worked for past few years for my father as an office administrator who is a contractor. He retires in about 5 years and I will be taking over the business. I never would imagine the I would be owning my own business. This is the niche I have been longing to find. Trivia: I once entered a babe contest at a brewery to become a "representative" for their new beer. I must say, I was the only girl there with an IQ and could put more than 5 words together to form a sentence. Come to find out, all the other girls who entered where all strippers! No, I didn't win, but this was the most embarrassing moment of my life for sure! Friends: Vanessa Williams (Habkrik), Robin Gentle (Shill, where are you?), Sanceree Pruitt (Thompson?), Aaron Tello (Hutchinson), Jeremy Peters, Gerry Huth, Mike Francis (I finally found you!) and and of course Glenn Fanning, Steve Smith, and many others. Hobbies: I love to spend time with my daughter Sammie as well as work out at the gym, snow skiing, camping, cooking and traveling as much as possible. Kids: My daughter Sammie is 6 years old and is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. She has a very old soul. I have no need for a dictionary nor an encyclopedia anymore, because she seems to know it all. I call her Miss "Matter-of-Fact". She goes to elementary school in Auburn where I work and is the happiest kid you have ever seen. She is an exact replica of me when I was little, my mom says GOD is getting me back... Grade_school: Quincy Elementary School - up in redneck country , not around here. Grade_school_friends: Did not attend grade school in Sacramento. Quincy Elementary School - up in redneck country , not around here. Junior_high: Same as above. Junior_high_friends: Same as above. Memorable_teachers: My most memorable teacher was Mrs. Tak. She is an incredible woman who sparked my brain when I needed it. She made me think and think and think. I loved her teaching style, she was tough, but she always made sense. Favorite_memory: The famous football game our senior year at Galt High School, when most of the football team, cheerleaders and songleaders got food poisoning from the dinner meal they served us before the game. I remember Jeremy Peters and I being so sick...Remember? Oh yes, Jeremy having a little too much to drink on Halloween our senior year and having to get him out of the women's bathroom at Carl's Jr. I know you remember that one Jeremy! Story: When I went to the 10 year reunion, I did not know what to expect, like everyone else. I must say that every single person there looked fantastic and I very impressed with how well everyone is doing. Eddie - no, I am not a at- home-mother, I would drive myself nuts! But I give a lot of credit to those who can do it and maintain sanity. I admire those ladies the most! Alumni_in_contact: Vanessa Williams (Habkirk), Vanessa Richey (Nichols), Aaron Tello (Hutchinson). Heard_about_website_from: From the 10th reunion invitation. 3/14/01 |

Ground squirrels to shoot at and beautiful sunsets. Trivia: I started my love affair with cars in auto shop at Encina.

There was a hush over the entire gym. We all watched in awe. I had never seen anything like it before. I was lucky enough to be on the Drill Team my Jr. and Sr. year. It was pretty special. I also had a blast in student government. It was really cool to have a class with people from all four grades. It felt good to help out. Auto Shop was the greatest class. I wish I could have taken it for two years. My partner was Jared Raskin. I wonder how he's doing. 9/10/05 |

Junior_high: Jonas Salk for the last part of 7th grade and all of 8th. Sucked being the new kid at school towards the end of the year.

| The Reporter.com Sunday • July 9, 2000 Quiet Student Is Now Teacher's Pet Introducing: Amber Witt and Randy Onstine. Amber is the daughter of Mickey and Sue Witt of Roseville and Cal and Luana Wheeler of Vacaville. A graduate of Placer High School in Auburn who attends California State University, Sacramento, she is a certified nursing assistant at Sutter Roseville Medical Center. Randy is the son of Gene and Kay Onstine of Sacramento. A graduate of Encina High School in Sacramento, he is a mechanic for Federal Express. How they met: When Amber taught an adult Sunday school class at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Sacramento, Randy was one of her students. Amber's friend, who knew Randy, suggested they all get together so Amber could get to know her student better. Amber and Randy became good friends quickly and remained so for about a year. However, Amber says a romantic relationship was the furthest thing from her mind. "I was too busy for a relationship" Amber says. First date: The friendship took a romantic turn when Amber and Randy went to see a movie and out for ice cream. Amber describes Randy's actions throughout their date as "ultra-nice." "That's when you say there's something wrong with this picture," she says, chuckling. Nevertheless, Amber says their first date was when she really saw all Randy's terrific qualities. While he was always attentive in her class, he hardly participated in discussions. But when they were alone together, she saw the type of person he really was. Amber says she admired the fact that he was intelligent, but did not feel he had to show it. In addition, she loved his animation when he told jokes. She says she never realized what an incredible sense of humor he had. "Who has the guts to tell stupid jokes and risk other people's reactions?" she asks. By the end of the evening, Amber knew Randy was her type of guy. But she says she did not believe he would call again. He did, and three months later they were planning a wedding. On bended knee: Amber says that her proposal from Randy was kind of backwards. "We had planned half the wedding before the rings arrived," she says. When Amber called Randy at work to let him know their wedding invitations had been delivered, Randy's boss answered the phone and told her that Randy had left to pick up her engagement ring. "I was so disappointed because that was the one thing I wanted to be surprised about," she says. They met at her home after work. He was wearing a jacket she had given him and "I could see the bulge of the box in his pocket," she says, laughing. They settled on the couch and Randy asked her if she thought the invitations were the only things that came that day. Amber says she played dumb. "It sucked because I totally knew," she says. "I asked, 'what do you mean?"' He took the ring out of his pocket and started to cry. "He's very sensitive," Amber says.

The Corp. was fun and very demanding, but with hard work, I made it. In 1992 I meet, then married my wife Laura, and then in 1993 my wife and I had a happy, healthy, baby boy who's name is Eric. I had worked for 3.5 years with Pinkerton Security Services as a Field Supervisor. There was plenty of action with Pinkerton, dealing with domestics, arrests, fights, weapons, but the pay "sucked". So I moved on to my present job and am now working for Guardsmark Security Services as a Security Account Manager. The pay is way better, about three (3) times better than it was with Pinkerton, and the nice thing about it, is that I do not have to deal with as much action, as I do with paperwork. I am trying to get on with several local law enforcment agincies, right now I am in "stand by mode". Friends: Some of my good friends were Mr. Brian Knoff, Mr. Doug Zamboni, Mr. Chris Van Duker.

There of course were the bad days, when the choir would not be singing from the same sheet of music, but there were good days, when everyting would click, on those days "stay out of our way, for the volume alone will knock you down." I miss Mr. Burger, "wonder what became of him"? Favorite_memory: Being on the golf team, learning a sport back then, that I would master today! I remember one of my team mates, Mr. Doug Zamboni and his monster golf swings, that guy could place the ball on the course, where ever he wanted it!

Bio: Shortly after graduating, as some know, I was married (going on 9 years), I have pretty much covered the spectrum as far as jobs are concerned, nothing cheesy, just a wide variety of "experiences". I have attempted, a couple of times, to go back to school, but after having the freedom that life gives us, I find it harder to commit to each time. I finally started my family 3 yrs ago and continue to add... Friends: I consider myself very fortunate to have a long list of people that I would call my "best friends" from high school, so I won't try to name them all. I have lost contact with T. Kodsuntie(T.K.), D. Francis, Abe Fuentes, E. Cinnamon, and until recently, Janice Barnes and Randy Onstine. I see Glen Fanning and Rachel Martasian often and Larry Lane here and there. Hobbies: I enjoy golf, bowling, bicycling, tinkering with computers, and just hangin' out in the yard at home. It's funny what we call "recreation" as we get older?! Kids: I have a beautiful 3 yr old daughter and my wife and I are expecting our second child in October of this year.(We don't know what this one will be...yet) I know that everyone with kids think that they have the smartest, cutest children and I guess I am right there with them...sometimes my daughter scares me with the comments and perceptions that she has and retains! Kids are GREAT!! Grade_school: Go Wildcats! For those of you who can remember back that far, H.E. Winterstein was my first and I finished up at Cottage. A lot of good memories at both and a lot of fun! Those were the days! Grade_school_friends: I had many "grade school friends" that I actually didn't go to grade school with. Abe Fuentes, Glen Fanning, Kurt Wilhite, Keith Davis, Rachel Martasian, Bryan Larson, Frank Bueno, Mark Ballance, Bill and Libby(Elizabeth) Glaholt, I know there are more, but without digging out the OLD pictures...I could sit here for a long time beating myself over the head! Junior_high: Jonas Salk. Lots of new friends and new experiences... Junior_high_friends: Many of the above and more, Randy Onstine, Janice Barnes, Toney Woods. Favorite_teachers: I had a lot of teachers that I enjoyed being in their classrooms, but I'd have to say that Mrs. Kojima, Fig, and Mr. Estes were probably my three favorites.

I moved back to Sacramento, and have worked here ever since. While I was in college, I started officiating baseball, football, basketball, water polo, etc., and that has become my passion. I now referee college basketball, and football, and travel throughout the Western US. Trivia: I actually worked on a fishing boat up around the Aleutian Islands during one summer in college and rode my Harley Davidson from Canada to Mexico. Friends: I don't think I could name everyone, but I do wonder what happened to a few people...like where are they now? Hobbies: Traveling, Dancing (still), and Golfing. Kids: There are no little Edsters running around...yet! Grade_school: Ben Ali, Northwood, D.W. Babcock Grade_school_friends: Toby Contreras, Larry Lane, Janice Barnes, Chris Rainwater, James Molloy, Laurie Pride Junior_high: Howe Avenue (Yes we were better that Jonas Salk, and Arden) Junior_high_friends: Everyone that had Mr. Lambros, Ms. Riddell, Mr. Blankenship, yadda yadda. Favorite_teachers: Chris Kojima, she was the best! (Now she is at Del Campo). Ms. Gregori, her favorite quote was...Not to decide is to decide! 4/4/99 |

| Elizabeth Glaholt writes: work: Quality Analyst for AT&T Wireless Services Bio: Well jeez surprise to all my friends I got married at 21 and had my daughter at 22. Of course, after that got separated at 25 and LOVE being a single mom. WE travel a lot to Hawaii and hopefully plan on moving there. I attempted school and decided it is a little difficult being a single mom with career and school so have been working full time at AT&T Wireless Services as first customer care and now as a Quality Analyst (no, sorry I DON'T give freebies to classmates :-)...). Trivia: I REALLY DID graduate in 1989 from Encina! I just got out early! Honest! Friends: I still keep in touch with Michelle Dubonnet (now Ware) and Carrie Williams (here and there), and have run into quite a few classmates while out and about. Hobbies: Pretty much, Hawaii is my hobby. I get the heck out of Sacramento as often as possible. My daughter LOVES hawaii, she is the true beach bum! Kids: BRAGGING RIGHTS.. My daughter Ashley is 5 years old and has been through modeling school. She is the top in her class in Pre Kindergarten and extremely adorable! Anyone who has seen her would say the same thing! She will be going to kindergarten this summer, hopefully at a private school (unless we move to Hawaii before then!) Junior_high: Let's try to forget about good old Jonas Salk!!! Favorite_teachers: Mr Ball.. Just ask Teresa.. She would remember! |
