hi all. Brian Dalton here. It's been fun reading this thing and checking out the photos etc. Hey look! my wife Rachel and I had a daughter (Agatha) last month.

Happy New Year and see you next summer...

Katie Ward

Hi there everyone!

Thanks to Bryan Pellegrini for the web site info - and no, I did not get it because he pulled me over!

It was great to read about everyone and see pictures of all of their kids. My daughter Kaitlyn is now 14 and I have to tell you that she is thankfully nothing like her mother was at that age.

We live in Branford, and have been here for almost 6 years. I have 2 step kids and a dog named Koda that has recently joined our family.

I work with my husband Joe as we have a home office that I somehow or another keep together, and we are often on the road on Long Island where our territory is. Joe is a Surgical Specialist and he sells medical equipment to surgeons and teaches them how to use the product while in the operating room. Me? I think its all gross! Wouldn't catch me in there unless I was the one on the table having the surgery!

I am also a volunteer for Labs4Rescue as a petfinder contact, and place labs and lab mixes into great loving homes.

I have recently talked to Chris Corrarito, and told him about the website, but he is not a big fan of the computer, so I said I would pass on his hello!

I am happy to hear that everyone is doing well, and it's great to see all the different directions everyone has gone in!

I hope everyone has a great New Year!

Whoo hooo!

Thought I'd ramble, since I know there are quite a few people who check in often....so I'll entertain you a bit...
My hubby surprised me with tickets to STOMP for tonight! This will be our 3rd time seeing them. If you ever get the chance to go, it is AWESOME!!! whoo hoo! Cant wait!

Glad to see more people checking in too! (It's about time Suzie-Q ;)

Well, this is very exciting! Not sure where to begin. Rose Ann called me a few times and I finally called her back- she gave me this blog info right after Thanks Giving, I have finally gotten a chance to get on the site. Now I have spent the last 2 hours reading all the entries and looking at photos! I should be working. I love the photos, all the kids and class mates... It's great! Reading all the comments has made me laugh, smile, get chills, and reminisce and now I can't wait to see everyone in June! I will be there!
I can't believe it is 20 years. I don't feel like it has been that long. I think I went to the 10 year reunion. Waters Edge is great- when Rose Ann told me - I instantly thought of our prom....
I have been saying for years that I want to get together with Rose Ann, Carol, Kim , Mo etc..... I think it was 1-2 years ago Rose Ann came to an annual party we have at our house in Coventry CT. - It was great seeing her and meeting her family! Carol also called me about 15 months ago and I have yet to return her call- I am not very good at keeping in touch or with time management- lol
Some stuff about me, Married - Jim Greene, met him senior year at Eastern CT ST University. We have been married now it will be 10 years in August. We just sold our home in Coventry,CT of 10 Years and will be moving in January to Mansfield,CT. We are building and I don't know the actual address yet. We gave 2 beautiful, amazing girls, Claire- 3 yrs and Madeline- 15 months. When Claire was born, we decided Jim would stay home with the kids and I continue to work. Jim works in the car business, service manager at a Mercedes dealership in Hartford. I work for a mortgage company, originating loans and managing 2 offices and 8 other loan officers. I have been doing this for 13 years. As I mentioned we are in the middle of building a new home- we are very excited! Well I really better get back to work- I will try and figure out how to post pictures and keep checking to see who else has posted stuff.
I can be reached at sgreene@ctmortgageservices.com

Happy New Year!!!!!

Happy Holidays everyone!

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas.
Thought I'd share some photos from today.
My family, my little boy (kissing his new Thomas the Train), and more photos of my kids (my 5 yr old wearing a Sleeping Beauty wig and crown) & her little brother peeking from the closet.

Kelly Tamm

Last I knew Kelly Tamm married a guy who graduated from "86" "Ienello sp" and still livning in CT. but that was about 5-7 years ago

Kim Wagner? Kelly Tamm?

Morgan Class of 1987

Hi all. I looked through our yearbook this past weekend and the memories started flooding back. Does anyone know the whereabouts of Kelly Tamm and Kim Wagner? I also am wondering who dressed me every day in highschool and who did my hair? AAAHH!
Debra Milliken-Martin

For all the Moms.....

Dear Santa,

I've been a good mom all year. I've fed, cleaned and cuddled my
children on demand, visited the doctor's office more than my doctor,
sold sixty-two cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shade tree
on the school playground. I was hoping you could spread my list out
over several Christmases, since I had to write this letter with my
son's red crayon, on the back of a receipt in the laundry room between
cycles, and who knows when I'll find anymore free time in the next 18
years.

Here are my Christmas wishes:

I'd like a pair of legs that don't ache (in any color, except purple,
which I already have) and arms that don't hurt or flap in the breeze;
but are strong enough to pull my screaming child out of the candy aisle
in the grocery store.

I'd also like a waist, since I lost mine somewhere in the seventh
month of my last pregnancy.

If you're hauling big ticket items this year I'd like fingerprint
resistant windows and a radio that only plays adult music; a television
that doesn't broadcast any programs containing talking animals; and a
refrigerator with a secret compartment behind the crisper where I can
hide to talk on the phone.

On the practical side, I could use a talking doll that says, "Yes,
Mommy" to boost my parental confidence, along with two kids who don't
fight and three pairs of jeans that will zip all the way up without the
use of power tools.

I could also use a recording of Tibetan monks chanting "Don't eat in
the living room" and "Take your hands off your brother," because my
voice seems to be just out of my children's hearing range and can only
be heard by the dog.

If it's too late to find any of these products, I'd settle for enough
time to brush my teeth and comb my hair in the same morning, or the
luxury of eating food warmer than room temperature without it being
served in a Styrofoam container.

If you don't mind, I could also use a few Christmas miracles to
brighten the holiday season. Would it be too much trouble to declare
ketchup a vegetable? It will clear my conscience immensely. It would
be helpful if you could coerce my children to help around the house
without demanding payment as if they were the bosses of an organized
crime family.

Well, Santa, the buzzer on the dryer is ringing and my son saw my feet
under the laundry room door. I think he wants his crayon back.
Have a safe trip and remember to leave your wet boots by the door and
come in and dry off so you don't catch cold.

Help yourself to cookies on the table but do n't eat too many or leave
crumbs on the carpet.

Yours Always, MOM...!

P.S. One more thing...you can cancel all my requests if you can keep
my children young enough to believe in Santa.


Merry Christmas!
~Rose Ann

new email address

Hi again,
Wanted to let everyone know my email has changed to wendyjoanis@comcast.net. Please make a note.

Thanks to all the recent blog contributers, especially RoseAnn, and more recently Danny May. Love all the input. It's so nice to see people connecting again.
Still waiting to hear from lots of you...we know you're out there---Ginger Ramos, Gayle Romano, Shelley Cunningham, Steven Bugg, Jimmy Greider, Sue St.Pierre, Dawn Carmody, Jeff Mangler, Diana Dart, Patty Hoole, Marybeth Murphy...just to name a few!

How about holiday cards? I know lots of us are sending out pictures of our kids/families at this time of year. Post them!

Also, Danny's suggestion for a play list for the DJ is a good one. Please forward any requests you may have to Danny at dmay7158@yahoo.com. He will compile all of your requests and we'll get them to whoever we end up with for a DJ. Hope you don't mind Dan!:)

All for now...
Wendy

Music

Might be a good idea to get a request list in for the DJ if anyone is big on that. Some people tend to forget that DJ's don't carry every piece of music ever written with them. If you request it early then they make sure to bring it. (A friend of mine is a DJ (and I have helped him out)and we run into this problem a lot. We ask for a request list and people don't provide the requests early but just expect you to have everything they want when the event comes...Just a tip.

More ways to track down people:

I also have the contact list from the 10 year reunion. Most of the info is probably wrong but may provide leads. I figured somebody else has already used this avenue, but figured I'd post it in case not.

Heather Nedovich (she got married in July, I don't know her married name) Lives down the street from my restaurant. She's been a (very good) massage therapist for a long time now. I will get in touch with her as soon as I can. I have run into Jess Kieffer numerous times at Stop & Shop in Old Saybrook, I told her about the site. I have also asked Kris Urquhart to get me Belinda Bush's information. I tried to go on my space also to search for people - I would have NEVER recognized Ron Boisvert!

p.s. Barb - Thanks for calling me, I had a great time at chips! Take care of yourself!!!

Morgan Class of 1987

Morgan Class of 1987 I found Sheryl Hollifield and Ron Boisvert on myspace. They should be contacting Wendy soon. As for Kirby, he lives right in Clinton. I saw Ray Martin's mother, she will pass the news on. Sally Hawley and Johnny Izzo are excited and can't wait. We can keep digging people up if we try hard. RoseAnn..great to see you the other night. Your kids are adorable! Liz

Anyone DONE with Christmas Shopping?

We just started last night.
What are the hot things the kids want this year?
We got our 12 yr old the Fly Pen computer. It's pretty cool....you draw a keyboard, and it will play...draw a calculator, and it will work, etc. We got the Algebra pack to go with it. Does anyone else already have this yet? if so, what do you think?
I'm trying to find Moon Sand for my 5 yr old....she's easy though....lots of Princess stuff, and she'll be happy.
And my little 18 month old is basically having a Thomas the Train Christmas...LOL
He's obsessed with Thomas.
We still have lots to do...nieces/nephews...my hubby...parents.....ughhh!
I havent even done cards yet either!
And my poor 5yr old is getting her tonsils out Dec. 22nd! I'm hoping she'll be okay by Christmas! :(
