| 1983 | (Mikula)Agena, Liz | 9/16/2003 at 9:05:57 AM | Hello Everyone!!It's been a long time. It was nice to read about everyone. I'm sorry I missed you all at the class reunion. Out of High School I served in the Army for 4 years. I met my husband of 17 years during my time in service overseas. He's French-American. We lived in Hawaii for six years and now live near Charlotte, NC for the past 10 years. Since moving to Charlotte I finished my nursing degree, became a certified ocology nurse, and in the last year decided to slow down and became a School Nurse for one of the elementary schools close to our home. I like children and have two(3) children Pierre(12), Joelle(9), Kele(German Shepherd 17wks).We lead a very busy life... our children are involved in soccer, boy scouts, and gymnastics. So like many of you I'm a super mom. I miss you all. I sympathize with any of your losses over the years, and pray you find peace one day. Maybe I'll make it to the next reunion. Keep in touch. |

When my brother Patrick started going to Concordia college in Ann Arbor in 1985 it sounded like he was having so much fun that my sister and I joined him. Went there 2 1/2 years, had the best time and my poor grades were proof of that. 1989-1991 I travelled the whole east coast on a couple musical ministry teams for Youth Encounter. When I got off the road Youth Encounter hired me so I moved to Minneapolis, MN where they were headquartered and lived there for 7 cold, very happy fun years!!!

I now work for an office equipment company as the office manager. I got married in June of 2002 and bought my first house here in December of 2002. My husband and I enjoy bowling, painting & spending time with our dogs. We have a great dane named Titan and a ridgeback mix named Serena. Some of my current addictions are Survivor, my yellow Jeep, lime flavored Tostitos, CSI (Miami & Las Vegas), iced almond lattes, the beach, losing the same 10lbs over and over, Jesus, muddin', fresh squeezed orange juice off my trees, fairies & Texas hold 'em (not necessarily in that order). My sister Shelly lives less than 2 miles from me so I love getting together with her and her family. We still own the home we grew up in on Merritt Lake in Metamora, MI so I get home at least once a year. I love Michigan and miss it all the time! PS: I never got anything on the 20 year; that stinks. PPS: What ever happened to Burr Mitchell? Also, I would love the next reunion to be with some of the classes before us and after. UPDATE: We have our house up for sale. My husband has always lived in Orlando and we are ready for a change! Destination...Michigan! I need some seasons, changing leaves, snow, the smell of fall & snowmobiling! Oh yeah, and I want to be able to swim without the risk of an alligator biting my booty!!! |

| 1983 | (VanLeuven) Miller, Tracy | Sep 18, 2007 at 07:34:31 | This time 25 years ago we were nearly a month into our senior year of high school. Now, my only child, Nick, has begun his senior year so we're consumed with the SAT, ACT, college searches, etc. For the past 20 years I've been married to Craig Miller (class of 1980). Craig has 21 years in the Army, and is stationed in Washington, D.C. with the White House Communications Agency. Not wanting to live in the District, we bought a home in Stafford, VA which is about 35 miles south; far enough away from the every-day craziness, but close enough to enjoy the culture and history. Throughout the past 20 years, we were fortunate to have been stationed in some great places: Monterey, CA; Augusta, GA; Panama, Colorado Springs, CO; and Virginia (twice). Now I keep busy as a a real estate agent with Keller Williams. I also volunteer at my son's high school, and am the treasurer for the athletic boosters. Please drop me an email if you're in the Nation's Capital, and perhaps we can meet for drinks. Hope to see you all next fall at our reunion. Check out the reunion news section of this alumni page for information and updates. |

I also heard that someone is putting together a big East-West reunion and I think that is a great idea! Email me if you want to! |

| 1983 | Spence, Jerry | Jan 2, 2008 at 09:15:11 | My God, time really does fly. I partied to much after graduation and ended up getting into a little trouble. However, I've always worked my ass off,and it ended up paying off after I moved to the Seattle area in 1989. I got into the construction boom going on out here very early. After a few years of working for builders, I became one myself and have never looked back. I now develop my own properties, and either sale the land or build speculative homes. I have never married, but I have full custody of my wonderful 17 yr.old son. I just built my own home on awesome Lake Sammamish, in Sammamish, WA. We wakeboard and down hill-ski and everything in between. I am currently involved with one of the first professional female snowboarders of the late nineties, Jennifer. We have been together 6yrs. I hope you all are living life large, because damn, its short. Take care. |
