From Chris:
I married "Mr. Right", Craig, when I was 19......and I would do it again without hesitation. Our son Mike, will be a senior at Champlin Park High School this fall, and our daughter Samantha, will be a sophmore at the same school.  I have recently closed my licensed child care buisness after 12 years, and am currently looking for employment oppurtunities in the Administrative support field.
Life is good here in Champlin. My husband and I enjoy the neighboring Three Rivers Park Reserve biking and walking trails when we are not attending the kids many sporting events.  Our favorite vacation get-away is Grand Marias/ North Shore area.  The last 20 years have flown by so fast, yet reading everyone's bios makes it feel like it was just a couple years ago we were all in High School. Thanks to everyone who helped put this all together.

From Kerry:
HelIo 1987 Classmates!

I don't feel old enough to be having a 20 year reunion!  I guess feeling young at heart is what counts.

After graduating from Richfield, I attended the College of St. Catherine's for one year and then transferred to the University of Minnesota.  I graduated with a BS in Child Psychology.  Currently, I work for Bird & Cronin, a medical manufacturer, and have been there for almost 16 years.

After graduating from college, I married Ken Gleason and we will be celebrating our 16 year anniversary in September.  We have two children, Connor (14) and Brittany (12).  Connor hopes to earn his Eagle scout this fall, plays basketball, baseball and enjoys downhill skiing and will be starting high school this fall.  Brittany is also in scouts and competes in gymnastics and entering the 7th grade.  So that means that I drive, a lot!  We are currently living in Apple Valley!

Ken works for Northwest Airlines and that has given us the wonderful opportunity to travel with the children.  We have been to many places with the Alaskan Cruise being the favorite!

I have kept in touch with Kim Dobbelmann (Laursen) and our children enjoy the trips to visit one another.  I look forward to the reunion!  

See you there!

From Sue:

I've been married to my husband Ron for 4 1/2 years and we currently live in Eagan, MN. I am a Switchboard Operator for a large company in Eagan where Ron also works in another department. 
We met on an Eastern Carribean Cruise  with a group from Northwestern College and Radio (long story). We were married a year later.

For fun, we like to hit the trails either biking or walking, seeing new sites, hanging out with friends and volunteering at Northwestern College and Radio events including  "Sharathon" which is a 3-day pledge drive to raise money for the listener supported radio station (KTIS 98.5 FM), we take time off work and make a vacation out of it.

I want to say thank you to Ellaina for setting up this cool website, it's nice to hear what everyone is doing these days. And also a big thank you to the reunion committee for getting this reunion together.

Greetings fellow '87 grads,

What fun it has been to peruse this site and to see what everyone has doing for the past 20 years!

After graduating from RHS, I attended Normandale for a short time and transferred to the University of Missouri-Columbia to pursue a journalism degree. After graduating from college, I worked as a print reporter at a small newspaper in Illinois.

I returned to Minnesota in the mid '90s and I have been working in public relations ever since. 

I am married with two kids - Nora (age 5) and Max (age 2). Life is quite hectic but I wouldn't change a thing.

In my spare time, I enjoy refurbishing our 1917 home in St. Paul, gardening and being a mom. 

I am looking forward to seeing everyone in September!
