I am the lead singer of the rock
band Phoenix Rain. We will
be releasing our CD 'Illusions' in the summer 2007. Fellow Normanite,
Trent Bell produced and recorded our upcoming CD. I studied music at
OU. I play bass and guitar and have written many songs with my best
friend, Jennifer.You can hear some of our music at
http://www.myspace.com/phoenixrainband . I worked as a Graphic Artist
for several years, but decided IT was a better fit for me. I am a
Security Administrator and hold 11 IT related certifications. Marriage
was never my thing, but I have been with my love, James, for several
years. I have no children except for my wonderful dogs. When I’m not
working or playing music, I can be found weightlifting, doing martial
arts, or cruising with the top down in my convertible. Life is
definitely good!

I married too soon and divorced
not soon enough to a 1985 graduate, Wesley Marquis. For several years
afterwards, I thoroughly enjoyed the single life in the Dallas area.
Moved back to Norman in 1997 to attended OU. Which I did briefly before
I met and married a 1989 NHS graduate, Steve Powell. We married in 1998
and we have two daughters (Britney 6 and Brianna 5). Our girls are just
amazing; just ask any of their grandparents. As for the college
degree…I’m still working on it. I recently started back to school. I
can’t do anything half way so I’m attending OU full-time while working
full-time for an OU department. I haven’t been very good about keeping
in touch with many from our class. But I look forward to reading
updates on everyone.

I am amazed at how many people
are still living in Norman. Where do you all buy your
groceries? I feel like I hardly see anyone from high
school. Norman isn't that big. Since high school,
I attended OU and graduated with a degree in
Journalism. Married my college sweetheart in 1992. Went to
work in sales before returning to school to get my Masters in
Education. I taught second grade for three years before our
first child in 2000- a daughter Taylor. She is now 6 and in
the first grade. We have two boys, ages 5 and 3 --Brooks and
Reece. I keep busy with the kids' activities and have no
idea what I did with all my time prior to having
children. We're involved with our church--Crosspointe, and I
am active in the PTA at Washington Elementary. I also help
out when I have the time at my husband's dental office here in
Norman. |

After graduating from OU with a
degree in Economics I moved to Dallas and started working with Fidelity
Investments. Never would I have imagined that I would still be working
with the same company after all of these years. I was recently married
in July of 06' to Wendy. We don't have kids but certainly plan to in
the
near future. I look forward to trying to make it back to the reunion to
catch up with those that I haven't seen over the years. However, Wendy
and I will be in the process of relocating to Toronto as I'm taking on
an international assignment with Fidelity.

I went to Southeastern Oklahoma
State University on a debate scholarship. I then went to
work by in Norman for Ideal Homes the biggest builder in our great
state in sales. I was with them for over 15 years and
decided to call it quits when we had our first little girl Gracie, she
is 7 months (May) and we are loving every minute of being
parents. My Mr. Wonderful already had a son Hunter when we
got married in December of 2004.
We are both in the Real Estate Industry, Chris is a Realtor with
Dynasty Realty Group and I started a consulting company Grace
Consulting Solutions, Inc. I am very happy with most of my
choices in life so far. I will be speaking in Boca Raton
Florida at a New Home Specialist workshop the weekend of the reunion
but I would love to hear from all of you. Life is a journey,
not a destination. Happy Journey to you all.

My 18 year old son was looking
at the all the 1987 pics and he said "Wow! Look at all the big hair
(and mullets)!" Seriously though, I've enjoyed reading all the bio's. I
attended OU for a year upon graduation, married too early, moved to
Houston, had my first son (he is a blessing from the Lord), moved back
to Norman 2 years later and divorced. A year later, I married my
wonderful husband, Don Gordoni (1981 Norman HS grad.) and we have 9 of
the best children in the world! We have 5 sons and 4 daughters. We
homeschool all but the two oldest who attend a private school. We
currently live in McKinney, Texas. Don is involved in full-time
Christian ministry. Apart from being a busy wife and mother, I am
actively involved in Women's ministry at our church and discipling
young women. I would love to hear from you!

After graduating I bounced
around awhile to OKC, Purcell and ended right back where I started,
here in Norman. I took the Dental Tech program at Vo-Tech never
thinking that I would stick with it (it was a 1/2 day away from school)
well I did stick with it and now I have opened my own lab. I Married at
20 to an 84' grad and have been married for ever since (to the same
guy). We have 2 children together, Destiny (16) and Clead III (14).
They are teenagers and are a wonderful trial. My husband opened up his
own business this past year so we have all been VERY busy.

husband (John) on a blind date. We were married December 28,
1991. We have three beautiful children (Madison - 10, Luke -
5 and Evan - 2). My husband was a licensed Architect in
OKC. On December 13, 2005, at the age of 39, my husband died
of a heart attack. I still stay at home raising our
wonderful children. God continues to be faithful and provide
for our family. As for myself, I graduated from OU with a degree in
Accounting. I worked as an Auditor and Tax Accountant for about 4 1/2
years before staying at home with my children.
