Wow! 20 years. Well, graduated OU-'91. Masters from Brandeis U. near Boston-'94. Met my wife, Amy, at grad school. 10th anniversary in May '07. We have 2 daughters (Emma-7, Caroline-4). Boy, am I ever in trouble with two daughters. We live in Maryland. I've served for 6 years as G.M. for Aerus, a large international sales company. I did lots of performing/directing in films, theatres, commercials, modeling (believe it or not). Recently, I won a small stakes poker tournament at the Mirage in Vegas. Go Texas Holdem! I smile at the memories when looking at our class pictures. Some I can talk about-some I can't. I'm also amazed at the number of people from the class of '87 that are gone. They will be missed. Wishing our class the very best. Let's go Tigers!

WOW...how do I sum up 20
years??? So much has changed since 1987. God has blessed me with three
beautiful children, Morgan (born in 1990), Ashley (1994) and Connor
(1996) and have been happily married since 1989 to Casey Owens, an OKC
Police Master Sergeant. Right after graduation, I toured across the US
and in Europe as the lead vocalist with the Continental Brass &
Singers. Afterward, I began singing concerts in churches and leading
music for women's retreats and, more importantly, having babies. My
ministries have afforded me the luxury of staying home with my kids,
which is a HUGE blessing. I currently direct several Young Musicians
Camps each summer in OK and South Carolina and sing with the Singing
Churchwomen of Oklahoma. We are members of Graceway Baptist Church in
OKC and live near Mustang, OK. I'm also an Independent Consultant and
Area Manager with Arbonne International.

John Barnachez
[Westfield, MA] |
Took a few years off after high
school and moved to Massachusetts. Got back into school in '91 and
graduated UMASS Amherst with a BA in Political Science in '95. For what
that's worth.
I am a detective with the police department in Westfield, MA. I have
been a police officer for a little over five years. Never saw myself as
a cop but I suppose it suits me.
Married for 9+ years to Marybeth. We have three boys, Braxton (7),
Mason and Garrett (4). I would love to hear from you. I have been gone
a long time with little
to no contact with people from Norman.

Wow. I don't remember everyone's
hair being so fluffy...or feathered...or backlit. So...life after
fluffy hair: went to college, got a M.S. in French Lit, lived in
France, got married to my best friend, produced 2 impy yet loveable
girls, moved to Newport, Rhode Island and now we live in Japan (where
the sushi really is amazing). The French Lit degree has (shockingly!)
led me to being a Jack of All Trades---which suits our family passion
of exploring (the girls read this as getting lost) in foreign locales.
Our next adventure is in Anghor Wat, Cambodia and next summer we move
to Tokyo. Drop us a line if you ever wander this way...

Wow - 20 years - it's hard to
believe! I graduated from OU with BS in Industrial Engineering. Worked
at York Int'l, then C.H.Guernsey and now at Lucent Technologies for the
past ten years. I married Jerry in 1991 and have two wonderful
daughters, Jessica (11) and Shelby (8). We also have two adorable pugs,
Blazer and Poker. We are big OU sports fans, NASCAR fans and love to
travel.

I have to say that I've really
enjoyed reading about the lives of so many people I used to know!
Hmmm..a blurb that encompasses roughly 20 years of my life. Okay, here
goes: After high school, I attended OU for two years but left to move
to Los Angeles in order to pursue life as a rock/metal drummer. I had
some mild success at this, but by early 1992 I decided that this was
not the life that I wanted. I returned to Norman in 1992 and graduated
from OU in the Spring of 1994 with a B.A. in Psychology. In the fall of
1994, I again returned to California but this time to pursue an M.A.
and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. I graduated in September of 1999 with
my Ph.D. I then completed a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship in Clinical
Neuropsychology in upstate New York. I got married to my beautiful wife
Cyndi in 2000 in New York. In 2001, we moved to the Northern Virginia
area where I began working in private practice as a clinical
psychologist/neuropsychologist. Currently, I am Director of
Neuropsychology and the brain injury rehabilitation program at a
Veterans Affairs Medical Center, although I continue to keep a
part-time private practice. I continue to live with my wife and two
dogs (a Greyhound and a German Shepherd) in the Northern Virginia area.
My hobbies are writing and recording my own music, playing drums, and
guitar. Hmmm...other interests include going on adventure trips to
south and central american countries and studying/speaking Spanish.
Would love to hear from you!

Attended and graduated from East Central University in Ada, OK. Went to visit Greg Dumas in Missouri and met my wife, Tamra. We have four children, two boys and two girls. Working for the Metro Nashville Police Department since 1996 after working for the Norman Police Department. Currently I am a Sergeant in the patrol division. Was very suprised when I didn't see my name on the register. Like to see more of our high school football pictures (I was #50).
P.S. When I skipped out on picture day my mom told me I'd regret it!

I finished school and ended up
living in San Diego for about four years where I met my wife Kerri. We
moved to northern California in 2001 to a town called Fairfield - its
about the size of Norman but lacks the university feel. I deliver
babies here. I have a two year old boy named WIll and a 4 month old
girl named Ruby, and a boxer named Lewis. Its all good!!!

I went to OU and got my BS in

Washington State University and received my MS in Structural
Engineering. We currently live in Stillwater where I stay home with our
4 children (3 boys and 1 girl - 8, 5, 2, and 4 months). I am involved
with the youth at our church, Junior Service League, Cub Scouts, and
volunteering in my children's classrooms. I enjoy book club,
scrapbooking, and occasionally working out. I guess I should add that
we are busy playing and coaching sports year round - basketball,
baseball, and soccer. Even the 3 yr old is playing soccer and weeball
this spring (he wants to be like his older brothers)! We also enjoy
going snow skiing every year. My 8 year old is a much better skier than
I am now!!

After graduating from Oklahoma
Baptist University in 1991 (with a Bachelor of Science degree in
Nursing), I moved back to Norman and lived there until around 1995
(then moved to OKC because I was tired of commuting). I graduated from
OU in 1996 with a Master of Science degree in Nursing. I worked at
Baptist Hospital in cardiac, pulmonary, and medical-surgical care areas
until 1997, then worked as the Assistant Director of Nursing at Epworth
Villa Lifecare Retirement Community in OKC so that I could gain some
long-term care experience. From there, I worked as Director of Nursing
of a home health agency in OKC. In 2001, I opened my own home health
agency specializing in cardiovascular and pulmonary home care (Heart
Care at Home, LLC). I married very young while at OBU....but divorced a
year later in 1991 (thank God). I remarried in 2003. My husband Chris
and I have a little girl named Berkeley who is 18 months old. She is
quite the handful. It's crazy chasing around a toddler at my
age.....would have been easier in my 20's!!! Berkeley is absolutely my
pride and joy. I am very blessed to have such a wonderful family and
career.

MAN!!! Could someone please burn
that picture? What grade was that anyway, 8th? I guess I should have
gone to class more! I've been traveling around the U.S. working as an
Operations Manager for a communications testing company, mainly
C.A.T.V. networks. Spent the better parts of 1997 & 1998 in Japan
as an Engineering Consultant for a partnership between Time Warner,
U.S. West, Toshiba & Itochu. I have 3 wonderful children, Allyson
15, Danielle 5 and Chase 3. They keep me sane and out of trouble these
days and I've finally called it quits and have planted roots back in
Oklahoma. I'm currently working as a Demand Technician at Cox
Communications. I hope everyone is doing well these days, and I'm
saddened to learn of the deaths of some of my classmates. They will be
missed.

how time flies....attended Univ

ever since (met husband here). Never thought I'd live somewhere that
had bigger football fans than Norman - I don't recall ever hearing
about any Sooner fans rioting and starting fires in the streets like
these crazy Ohio State Buckeyes. No kids - just cats (4 to be exact). I
think that's all you need to know for now...if I see you at the reunion
(which I hope I will)...I'll fill you in on more of the gorey details.
Gotta save some stuff to make conversation with people I haven't seen
in 20 years....:)

Connecticut, then Kansas City, and now in St. Louis. I've
continued teaching in various venues, though am mainly an at-home mom
