From Rick:

Very nice website…Thank you to everyone who took the time to create it!

Well, here it goes…After high school, I attended the University of Minnesota at Morris where I earned a BA. Shortly after that, I returned to school for Radiography. I am currently working as an MRI Technologist in the Lansing, Michigan area. How did I end up in Lansing??? Well, while I was working at the Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, I met my future wife Angela. We were married in 2000 and then moved to Wisconsin where we lived for four years. In 2004, we relocated to Lansing so she could pursue her Ph.D. in Special Education at Michigan State University. We are hoping to return to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area after Angela completes her education.

Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend the reunion. I hope to see everyone at the next one!

Hello class of 87'

The "Now" picture is of me and my wife Susan in Colorado on vacation for our 10th anniversary. We have actually been together for 18 years. We have one daughter (Lindsey) and two sons (Jacob) & (Logan). After graduation I went to Normandale Community College and then on to Mankato State University and graduated with a BS in Electrical Engineering Technology. I have been working at Banner Engineering in Plymouth for 10 years.  Some of you may have seen me delivering pizzas for Davanni's, yes I still work there part time going on 20 years. Speaking of 20 years... Where has the time gone? Whether you remember me or not, I will see you at the reunion.

After graduating from the U of M, I married another RHS grad (Doug Anderson '84) I met while in college. We currently live in Richfield and have two daughters, Samantha and Nicole. The kids are involved in activities that keep us busy...karate and hockey. In what little spare time we have, we like to go to the cabin and travel.

From Brenda:

Hello to all!

I attended the University of Missouri-Columbia and received my undergraduate degree in psychology in 1991. A highlight from college is when, senior year, our softball team made it to the World Series and finished 5^th in the nation. MIZZOU-RAH! I stayed at MU to pursue an MBA, during which I met Scott (from Wichita, KS). In 1993, we received our MBAs, got married and moved to Kansas City. Our first child was born in 1997, and I left my job at the American Red Cross to stay home. Our family includes Kate (10), Max (8), Jack (7) and Luke (5).

We currently live 20 minutes outside the southwest suburbs of Kansas City in a small, rural community with room to roam and just a 15 minute drive to the college town of Lawrence, KS (home of the University of Kansas).

There is never a dull moment for our family with church activities, school stuff, kid activities and family play time. The game of choice lately has been “driveway hockey”.

I get back a few times a year to visit my family, all of whom are still in MN (With the exception of my sister – I lost her to pancreatic cancer 4 years ago. My heartfelt thanks go to Gretchen Graham and her colleagues who provided wonderful care). Life certainly is a journey and I’ve learned to treat each day as a blessing.

This site has been fun – better than watching VH1’s “Where Are They Now?” It not only brings back memories of high school but also reflections from way back – memories like kindergarten at Woodlake (the class picture on the website is a hoot!), 1^st-8^th grade at St. Peter’s and attending the Richfield summer park program (Fairwood Rules!).

If all the logistics work out, I should be at the reunion. Thank you, committee, for your hard work!

From Jill:
I've been married to Mike for 11 years. We have two wonderful girls, and a cat. The girls keep us busy running to soccer, skating, swimming, piano & girl scouts. These translate into numerous volunteer opportunities which consume most of my spare time. I got my BS in business, but took the scenic route and probably finished up long after most of you.  I work for a large insurance carrier in St. Paul where I've been for the past 11 years, currently developing new insurance products. When there are some spare moments in life's busy schedule, I like to pretend I'm a gardener - although I'm lucky if I just manage to keep slightly ahead of the weeds! Life is good.
