| 2000 | (Sommerville) Aaron, Angela | Oct 11, 2005 at 15:11:11 | I don't really know what made me think to wander to this page, but as long as I'm here I'll give you a little update. I graduated from Kettering University in the summer of 2004 with my Bachelors of Science in Management among other things and have taken up a career in international business. I am currently a Special Trades Program Analyst for JPMorgan Chase Vastera in Southfield. I'm basically a consultant for General Electric analysing their cost avoidance opportunities through the NAFTA, US-Australia, US-Israel, and US-Chile Free Trade Agreements. It's fun in a crazy, legal, keeps-me-on-my-toes kinda way! I also got married in August of this year to the love of my life Rickey Aaron, Lapeer West Class of 2001. We're settling in to the Auburn Hills/Bloomfield Township area and scheming about lavish vacations and early retirement! No kids, but most of you that I still talk to have been popping them out (or scheming about it) all summer.. Really to sum it up I'm successfully living the American dream and absolutely loving it! I hope this finds all of you just as happy!! |
| 2000 | (Allen) Allen, Ben | Jul, 2004 at 09:52:35 | Left Ypsi and EMU after graduation, Psychology. Went to Det and Wayne State for some more Psychology higher learning. Still talk to my crew from West but most others I haven't heard from. Don't do much I suppose except go to the library, play some ball, and try to have a good time every once in a while. Not many peeps do this alumni thing but heres my number for those that do 313 478 2991 |
| 2000 | Aukerman, Norissa | Apr 11, 2006 at 12:24:50 | I've checked this out a couple times since high school, but never got around to registering myself. I graduated from Hope College in May 2004 and came to New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, New Mexico (and yes, New Mexico is in the United States), for an MFA program in creative writing, meaning I write lots of poetry and teach English composition to college freshman. They are surprisingly not that different from high school kids. It's actually cool that I get paid to do this. I am getting married in May. Quint is originally from Maryland, but has been in NM several years now, was in the Air Force and now is a realtor. I have one more year of my grad program, but we love it here--the desert and the mountains are beautiful, the weather is warm, the pace of life is laid-back, and the cost of living is low--so this is probably where we'll be for a while. |
| 2000 | Berman, Evan | 1/22/2004 at 12:29:32 PM | well i just flunked out of western. shocker. i guess i shouldn't have majored in drinking beer and taking shourcuts (chingaling). i'm taking classes at KVCC right now and hope to become a sports journalist. i live with wojtowicz and robert barr aka ronny bartz. |
| 2000 | blainey, kyle | 9/3/2002 at 4:51:22 AM | Well after two years at Central I decided I needed a little cahnge of scenery, I'm currantly living with two other west graduates in northern Colorado and working a full time job until I find what I'm looking for, what that is I'm still not sure but I hope to find it soon. So good luck to all my old friends and if a trip to CO. sounds like fun Bill still knows how to reach me.peace. |
| 2000 | blaszczyk, tiffany | 2/6/2002 at 11:23:43 AM | just chillin up here at Central. partyin pretty hard - along with everyone else who goes to central. getting a little school work done too - i'll be out in 3.5 - hell yea. miss you guys from lapeer. hope everyone is doing great. |
| 2000 | Boulee, Aaron | 10/10/2003 at 4:51:07 AM | Graduated from ITT Tech in Troy, in June 2002. And sence August of 2002 I have been working at the Robert Bosch Corp. North American Automotive Headquarters in Farmington Hills, as an Electromagnetic Compatability test technician. Hopefully I'll be starting on my B.A. degree at U of M Dearborn in January of 04'. |
| 2000 | (Kinch) Brazelle, Lori | Sep 6, 2007 at 15:57:59 | I am recently married to Dean Brazelle (graduate of Lapeer East 2000) and we now live in Grandville, MI. I graduated from Eastern and now I am admist all of the other un-employed teachers looking for a job. |
| 2000 | Britt, Jeremiah | Jun 17, 2005 at 07:34:55 | I am married to Autumn Gassel, who you may remember I was obsessed with in high school. Currently a reporter for the LA View in Lapeer. Autumn and I are trying to wade through the paperwork and waiting period to join the Peace Corps, and to answer the most common questions 1)We do not get to pick where we go 2)Yes, we will be serving together in the same place and 3)I have no idea when we'll leave. After that we're planning on moving to Seattle. I'm sorry I was such a jerk in high school. A lot of you were pretty cool to me anyway, so thanks. I infrequently hang out with Justin and Ross Maiers and Eric Touchette, but haven't spoken to Pete Deyo since my wedding. |
| 2000 | (Gassel) Britt, Autumn | Jan 14, 2006 at 12:56:18 | Hey! Its kinda nice to read up on everyone once in a while. As you see, I am now married and am no longer Autumn Gas-hole, sadly. Jeremiah Britt (You may remember him, wonderful, charming guy....) and I got married in November 2004 and are now living in Maryland about 20 minutes south of Washington DC. The Peace Corps thing was put on hold so that we could live in DC for a while. I am currently teaching 7th grade language arts and Jeremiah is temping. Life is good. We just had our first anniversary and spent it in NYC. Hope everything is wonderful for everybody, and I would love to hear from you! |
| 2000 | Carson, Tanya | Jul 25, 2006 at 14:44:20 | i dont think that i know what i want to do in my life...i have decided to go back to scholl to finish..i hate to leave things undone.. i am happy to say that i a living single and that is how i plan to stay for a while...i thought that i found mr. right but i guess i was wrong...at least i am not back in sucky lapeer..although i have had my moments to move back but i am going to take that as a moment of pure insanity...let's see if i can sum up the last 6 years..no kids, no husband, still the same carefree woman i was back then i think i will keep this for now...at least i am happy... |
| 2000 | Chaney, Amy | 11/29/2000 at 4:45:20 PM | I am currently working 2 jobs. One is at the almost famous Wendys resturaunt. the other is at a growing business firm called Visions Graphx and signs.Life is great. |
| 2000 | collins , bryan | 1/13/2004 at 4:38:28 AM | hello people, Well it's been awhile now so i figured that i should say something new. For starters i am now married to a girl named emily that i drugged and brainwashed from Grand Rapids. I recently moved back to lapeer and bought a house in otter lake. I am now workin at Lapeer Furniture and Mattress selling furniture. I am still fat but am down to about 255, The hella doughnut didn't work out. For the few of you that did like me stop in at the store and say hi or write me, maybe we'll get together, for those who didn't don't pretend cause i know you didn't so don't bother. Decided to drop out of school, had better things to do. Everybody stay cool and get ahold of me if you want to talk. Live well and prosper. |
| 2000 | Collins, Bryan | Jul 1, 2005 at 11:01:45 | WHATS UP!!!! Well kinda have a desk job now... BORING. But it gives me time to write on this thing. I am impressed with what everybody is doing with there lives. Well same old stuff, living in my house with my wife Emily and my two pit bulls. I know am employed as a mortgage consultant at Encore Mortgage accross the street from kroger in lapeer. At least it is air conditioned in here. My fat doesn't like the warm weather. If anybody is in town give me a shout i am always willing to throw parties and what not at my house. People can email me at bryanc@encore-mortgage.net or give me a shout on my cell phone at 989-430-4414 i am almost always available. I also travel all around the state so don't think that you are too far away to say hi or go to lunch. Well i have some papers to push so fare well. |
| 2000 | (Chaney) Coster, Amy | Aug 23, 2007 at 13:59:55 | My god, can you beleive that I couldnt remember my password after 7 years!!! Thats crazy! I had to update this because so much has changed as you can imagine. I now have a beautiful son named Matty who just turned 5 last May. I currently am a team leader for a french company called faurecia in Auburn Hills, so thats pretty exciting, not really, lol get ahold of me on myspace! myspace.com/jayde_reaver |
| 2000 | (Irwin) Curry, Janelle | Nov 29, 2007 at 10:21:17 | Hello to all my fellow class mates and friends. I hope that every one is doing well. I am living in the great upper peninsular in a town called newberry and enjoying the facts of having a son who is four and started school in the fall. been with the same guy for four long exciting years and we are now married as of november 21,2006. We just recently found out that i am pregnant again and due in july of 08' so we are very excitied for that. Can't wait to have a reunion soon so that every one can see each other again. |
| 2000 | Dallaire, Aimee | Sep 24, 2007 at 08:04:26 | Wow its actually been a while since I've updated this yeah me lol!! Oh while I'm thinking of it Jeremy it does blow the mind that there's a khols even for those of us who stil sadly live here. Ok hmmm whats up with Aimee... I am not married and I do not have kids because I refused to follow in what I call the Lapeer West curse where you have kids by 19 and married by 20 divorced by 21. Yeah couldn't hang with that one. So here I am fairly unaccomplished in life being 25 years old. I have 4 credits that are all that stand in my way to get that BSW but I keep getting distracted by shiny things and good smelling boys. If it weren't for my parents I wouldn't even have a job right now lol they co own a bar in Lapeer and I am the manager (which for any of you who have seen me since high school know is not a good idea, me being in charge of liquour). I live with April and her husband (come on who didn't see me as the crazy cat lady and still having April take care of me?) They have a baby who will be here anyday now and I couldn't be more excited to get to be the favorite aunt.... Anyway life is good! and I hope all of yours are too |
| 2000 | (Hunter) Detloff, Shannon | 4/28/2003 at 4:54:48 AM | Well, let's see. I'm STILL in Lapeer. I'm STILL hanging with Amanda and Toni (some things just never change, do they?). Hmm. College? Nope. Haven't made it there yet, though I have been thinking about it a lot. Any of you who are still local in Lapeer probably read about my husband in the paper this past January. If not and you want the scoop, drop me a line, I'll fill you in. Other than that... marriage is a situation that can be remedied and probably will be in my case. I'm enjoying being seperated and almost single way too much to go back. But on a less serious note, I am working three jobs, partying a lot, and I've got my own little place in Lapeer that I'm quite proud of. I party and hang at Calvellis in Lapeer (I also host karaoke on Saturday nights!!!), and other than that... not too much. If you ever want to party or drink a beer, drop in and you'll usually find me or Toni or Amanda or all three of us. Anyway... hello to all my friends and fellow graduates. It's nice to see all of the updates and hear all of the info. about everyones lives! See ya all at the 5 or 10 yr. reunion!!! Maybe by then I'll have something more interesting to talk about besides partying and possibly getting divorced and all that! E-mail me or message me on yahoo messenger sometime!!! |
| 2000 | Dick, Joshua | 8/15/2002 at 6:50:08 AM | Hi to all my fellow friends. I am going to Central Michigan |
| 2000 | (Mc Kim) Downer, Sherry | Mar 4, 2008 at 21:28:34 | I didn't really talk to many of my fellow classmates in school, but for anyone who remembers me or cares about what I have been doing for the last eight years, here goes........I met a man right after high school that swept me off my feet. I married my husband Bill in December 2001 and when I did that, it made me a step-mother to his seven children. We have one child together, Alec Michael 9-15-2005, and no more kids for me! Of those of you that have step-children, I'm pretty sure I win the award for having the most! I work for the family business-Wills Winery in Lapeer while I am attending college full time. I am scheduled to have my bachelors in Social Work with a minor in Child Development in two years or less. I have lived in North Carolina (loved it) and Georgia (loved it) since graduating. However, about 3.5 years ago we moved back up to be around family. My husband and I own a large house with property in Davison. I look exactly the same as I did eight years ago so, unlike most people, no weight gain to report(I actually lost a couple pounds when I had my son so I'm a few pounds lighter now than when I was in high school-I was thin in school and still am). I do myspace like most everyone else so if you really feel the need to contact me after all these years, I'm there. Is it just me or did a lot of people leave Lapeer in a hurry? Lapeer isn't so bad. It has definitely grown over the years but the crime rate is still really low so I don't see why people think it's that bad. |
| 2000 | Eastman, Eric | Mar 11, 2005 at 16:41:00 | Getting married May 7th, 2005. I am still working for Flagstar Bank (troy corporate), in Home Lending Development. other than that, nothing much happening... I still live in lapeer, where i bought my house, although it doesnt make much sense, seeing that i drive 80+ miles a day commuting for work... so where i reside may be changing in the next couple of years. |
| 2000 | (Patton) Emmons, Beth | Apr 1, 2006 at 11:27:39 | Wow, it's been a long time since I updated this! I've been married to Shane Emmons now for about two years. We currently live just north of Frankenmuth, where I teach kindergarten. Shane is a computer programmer for Frankenmuth Insurance Company. We just bought a house in December. No kids yet, but we just got an adorable pug, Ruby, who we spoil to death. I'm glad to hear how everyone is doing. The email address on my name link is current, so feel free to drop me a line sometime. |
| 2000 | (Vantine) Fenner, Lyniece | Jun 10, 2007 at 18:47:00 | I am no longer teaching in Mt. Morris. I am now back in Lapeer finishing up my first year teaching at East as the band director. I am 5 months pregnant with my first baby. I'm not sure if it is a boy or a girl. Grant and I want to be surprised. Life has been good. |
| 2000 | Freeland, Evie | 1/20/2004 at 5:02:34 AM | I realized that almost everyone has updated this recently, and I just found it again! So, I always vowed to get out of Lapeer, and after being out of school 3 years, I didn't think I ever would. But for those of you who don't know, and who actually care, I'M OUT! Last June, I moved to Cali. Although it was only supposed to be for the summer, I am still here and loving it. The one thing that I do hate is that I have moved 4 times since I've been here, and will be moving again in April. I wish I could say that I graduated or am on my way to graduation, but being me, I moved out here 1 credit away from graduation. But hey, anyone that knows me, knows the things I'd do for love. Although that's not the reason I stayed, but that's another story all together. I have a great job out here though, my dream job. I'm a preschool teacher at a school called Kindercare. I'm a three's teacher, which I love three year olds, and I love my kids. And all of them want to come back to Michigan with me when I visit. So I'm having a great time out here, of course getting into all sorts of trouble. I don't see moving back anytime in the near future, for those of you that have asked incessantly. But if any of you are ever in the SF area, get ahold of me and I'll show you around. |
| 2000 | (Sutherland) Gagnon, Jennifer | Oct 19, 2007 at 10:46:12 | hello everyone im doing really good i just got married to a wonderful guy in july and just moved to south carolina where i am currently working at the homedepot,as a cashier. if you wanna get in touch with me you can email me at scobbydo1980@yahoo.com and you can find me on myspace with the same email as well. hope to see you all at a renuin soon. |
| 2000 | Gibes, Valerie | 12/30/2003 at 5:48:58 AM | Hello eveyone,I am currently working full time as a mortgage clerk and loving it. I will be getting married in April of 2005!! Wow, so much changes after high school. I am living with my finace and we just bought our first house in March of 2003. This website is pretty cool being able to catch up on eveyone. anyways, gotta go! C-ya laterz!! |
| 2000 | (Gillispie) Gidelski, Kandice | Feb 22, 2007 at 12:33:42 | I am currently married, and have been married to Dave Gidelski for 2 years now. But we have been together for 8 years. We recently bought a house in Metamora, and I love it. We are so happy. I work for a cell phone company in Auburn Hills as a manager. I did go to U of M flint for a little while, and I may go back sometime to finish my degree, but not too sure about it. Well I hope all is well. If anyone would like to contact me , I would like it, my email address is Kandice.gidelski@hotmail.com. |
| 2000 | goddard, debra | 5/16/2004 at 5:38:16 PM | Hello to everyone who reads these things. I think I hop on this website at least once a year. It's nice to hear that most of you are doing well and that you have not lost your sense of humor upon becoming semi-adults. I'm a one-semester-over senior right now. I'll be graduating from Western with a journalism major and creative writing minor in December. I am currently interning for WMUK radio. It's a NPR (national public radio) affiliate. If anyone wants to you can hear my channel over the internet at www.WMUK.org...or something. It's 102.1 for those of you in the Kalamazoo area. I have recently covered President Bush's visit to West Michigan, State Representative Jack Hoogendyk and his stupid proposal regarding education (if you want to know more research it yourself), and a murder case on Western property. I've learned so much. Tomorrow I'll be covering a Kalamazoo City Commission meeting over an anti-nudity ordinance...wierd. You can usually hear me or my stories around 7:00 a.m. or 5:00/5:30 p.m. I am currently living with my boyfriend, Darren. He's super (thanks for asking). After graduation, I'll probably stick around this area for a year or two in order to save money and then I'm moving out west some where...probably Seattle, or in the area. I've also considered moving to Vancover. I love Canadians. On the other hand of all of the seriousness encompassing my life at the moment I'm still a regular at Bilbo's. I'm still hyper, I still dance my ass off when I get drunk, and I still tell the stories that we all share. I'm looking forward to a class reunion. If Jesse Schlaud reads this...Lapeer Lanes! If any of you are in the Kalamazoo area, look me up. I'm in the kazoo phone book. |
| 2000 | Grappin, Robyn | Apr 7, 2006 at 07:26:27 | Hi everyone, Well I am now a nurse in Pediatrics at Hurley Medical Center in Flint. I just built a house in Davison which is sweet. I am also getting married this August to Ted Yamin. He graduated from East in 96. That's about it for me. It would be cool to here from anyone if they are in the area. Glad everyone is doing well. |
| 2000 | (Huntley) Grosskopf, Kelly | Aug 11, 2004 at 13:09:20 | Hi everyone.. Nice to see what everyone is doing. Well I have a daughter she just turned 3 in July. She is great. People tell me all the time she is my mini-me. And we are trying to have another baby but no luck yet. I got married, and he is great. We have been married for a year now. I live in Columbiaville and i am currently selling my house, we have been here for two years. hope to hear from some of you. |
| 2000 | Hale, Christa | 11/12/2000 at 7:39:17 PM | I'm now living in Chicago, Illions. Working for Daimlerchrysler. Continuing my education in Business out here. |
| 2000 | (Toth) Harmon, Ashley | Oct 18, 2005 at 08:07:13 | I have nothing better to do than visit this page periodically and update it for the enormous amount of readers that visit this site. I still work for Adecco Technical in Troy as a Technical Administrative Assistant. It sounds more fun than it really is...trust me. I pay people, which forces them to be nice to me, and I search the internet for candidates to fill the job openings that we have. You would be amazed at the things people put on their resumes. CJ is 1 1/2 now, and the coolest kid ever (and I'm not just saying that because he's mine). Dennis is opening a mini-branch of Ferguson enterprises around Thanksgiving time. I'm not really looking forward to the move to Metro-Detroit, but at least I won't have to drive from Davison to Troy every day. We would be financially stable too, but I work a block from Somerset Mall and I ruin that for us (kidding). Hope everyone is doing well! |
| 2000 | HAYES, TONI | Nov 7, 2004 at 04:52:17 | So I got to this page again...It's crazy reading what everyone is doing. I was finally able to move out of the big black hole most call Lapeer. I'm down in Ann Arbor now. Working a lot. And going to school every now and then. New to the area so I don't really know too many people but I go to the bars and meet some here and there. When I make the trip back to Lapeer I'm usually with Amanda or Shannon, were still all together doing our own thing. Not married and no kids, all though at the looks of it a lot of u r married or have kids. I don't see anything thing happening in the near future. I'm going to work as many hours as I can right now, save all the $ and get myself a huge house or somethin, and go from there. send me a line to any of u who want to talk. |
| 2000 | Hill, Ed | Nov 13, 2007 at 14:15:48 | Ok, well....lets see since the last time I wrote in here a lot has changed. I'm a third class petty officer, in the U.S. Navy. I'm stationed on the USS Chosin in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. I'm work as a cryptologic technican, (you know spy stuff) the jobs pretty easy. Getting ready to deploy out to the Gulf very soon with all the stuff goinon out there. Let's see what else...I was pretty much in engaged to a beautiful blonde Canadian (that I met in Hawaii),weird huh? But that didn't workout...to soon I guess. I miss all my friends and family and I'll see ya all when I get back from the Gulf.Ed |
| 2000 | Ingersoll, Nichole | 12/14/2003 at 5:19:07 AM | Well, nice to see what everyone has been up to. I've been 'around' i guess is the best way to put it. Flordia then Arizona(schools n stuff) Now I'm chillin in Yokosuka Japan(Tokyo is a trainride away), but had a couple stops in Russia(Vodka...yum...), S. Korea(bad bad bad eeewww), Hong Kong(heh heh), Saipan(small, good diving though), Philippines(ick), Singapore(the cleanest city in the world, great partys great people), Australia(very very very nice, highly recommended to all...especially for tats), Thiland(yes, everything they say bout Thiland is tru) and a brief stop in India(well, the curry was good). Went to the gulf on the COWPENS(we shot missles...it was kewl!!! i cudda done without the gas mask though)I do the underway thing a lot, life on the ship is well, theres really nothin like waking up at 0500 everymornin and working for 14-16 hours on a good day, 290-300 days outta the year(sea counter jus keeps rollin for this rider) but the ports are fun...heh....England is in my future, gotta see that part of the world and my girlie o' course...New Years in Tokyo...should be fun...if anyone is round southeast Asia...come find me, i can prolly show ya round...peace |
| 2000 | Kahler, Chris | 11/28/2001 at 9:19:17 PM | I'm in my second year at WMU, majoring in something business related, not too sure what it'll be yet. I'm still stuck on campus, I'm a RA in Fox Hall, for some reason they stuck me in the honors dorm... I haven't figured out why yet, but *shrugs* |
| 2000 | Kratz, Rob | Oct 30, 2005 at 08:13:51 | Guess it's time for the yearly update. I am currently taking my last real class of the graduate music program at Cleveland State Univ. (in Cleveland, OH), even though I won't officially graduate until May. There hasn't been too much else going on - hopefully I'll have something exciting to write about next year. |
| 2000 | Lamesfield, Nicki | Jul 1, 2005 at 11:01:35 | Presently I can be found in Traverse City. I have been back up here for the last two years. I am FINALLY going back to school for nursing. No body laugh or be scared, I won't be hurting anyone. I have found the one to spend the rest of my life with. It's been an interesting few years. I will hopefully, so be coming back down to Lapeer to visit. I haven't been back for 2 years. Hopefully I can still find a few of you to see. Anyhow, until the next time. Take care... |
| 2000 | Leiting, Brandi | Dec 7, 2004 at 12:42:08 | I've been living it up in Chicago for a year now. I moved after I graduated from Western in August 2003 with my accountancy degree. I work in a smalller cpa firm in the northern suburbs as an auditor. The city is fabulous, if you haven't visited you should put it on your list of things to do. I've been dating the same guy for almost 4 years...we'll see where that leads. |
| 2000 | Leonard, Brian | Feb 1, 2008 at 17:22:08 | So the past year living in New Jersey has been quite interesting. Life is a little different here on the East Coast, but exciting at the same time. I am doing well with my career and getting used to the fast paced lifestyle. I was just home over Christmas and hung with a few people from West. If you were there you saw me making it rain and celebrated my birthday. Both equally exciting. Keep in touch and get a hold of me if you are in the New York area. I am getting to know my way around pretty well. |
| 2000 | MacLarty, Jenny | 11/12/2000 at 12:47:38 AM | Right at this time I am not going to school but will be in the fall. Because I am expecting a little girl on Febuary 9th,2001. ~Yeah I know, you can pick your jaw up off the floor.~ I am working on and off for a few friends of mine. I really miss school and the great times that we had at West. I'm still in contact with a handful of people from west. And they are all doing well at college. Hope everything is going for the best for all! Hi to Lori and Jessica! Best of Luck to you both. Jenny Mac |
| 2000 | (Carney) McMeans, Jennifer | Apr 16, 2007 at 08:08:40 | Well most of you probably don't remember me, I was pretty quiet in school but anyways. I got married Aug. 19th 2005 to a great man. He's in the Army so I finally got out of Lapeer and moved to New York. We had our baby girl Sept. 13th 2006, her name is Emma. Right now my husband is in Iraq again so I'm a stay at home mom. Someday maybe I'll go back to school if I can ever figure out one thing that I want to do. If anyone wants to get in touch let me know. jen5832@yahoo.com http://www.myspace.com/jmcmeans |
| 2000 | Medina, Rory | 3/20/2002 at 4:59:25 AM | Well, I'm in my last quarter of my second year here studying business management at Ohio Northern University, far away from all you guys. It's pretty nice down here although there are alot of corn fields. At least the weather is usually warmer. I miss all my cronies back home and at WMU and MSU, props to Notre Dame now as well, and all the way out to Hawaii. Hopefully I'll get a whole season of wrestling in next year finally if I stop having all these surgeries on my hands. You guys will be reading about me after I graduate and enter the WWF. I just need to gain alot of weight (200 lbs). I hope that everyone is doing well from the class of 2000 and good luck. |
| 2000 | Medland, Patrick | Feb 4, 2007 at 17:25:00 | I'm teaching chemistry at Mattawan High School and living in Portage. I'm dating a girl who lives up in Grand Rapids and teaches French at Grand Valley State. While teaching, I try to figure out what to do with the rest of my life, but I'm sure some form of graduate school is in my future. |
| 2000 | (Lewis) Meyer, Mandy Lyn | Jul, 2004 at 16:07:29 | I had no idea this existed. I was informed by my twin sister/cousin look-alike Debbie Goddard. It is pretty funny reading what you self-centered braggarts have written. Just kidding. Not much to brag about here. Western Michigan University sucks. Who knew? I'm what you call a professional student, years and years of school and no degree in sight. I am leaving in three weeks for Florida. Stress. Stress. Stress. I'm going to International Academy of Design in sunny Tampa. Exciting. Exciting. Exciting. I don't anticipate seeing any of you again, kind of sad, kind of not. Well, unless Debbie can drag me to a God-forsaken class reunion. She is a sentimental sap. |
| 2000 | Minard, Ryan | Jun 27, 2007 at 17:12:54 | The hawk got my other eye in a fight to decide supremacy of the roost. I survived, which is more than the hawk can say, but is living as a blind man really living at all? I've trained a ferret to peruse the interwebotron for me. I suspect he's been stealing my money and eating my share of the food in our apartment. I'm not so concerned, in all honesty. At least he's not one of those good-for-nothing polecats. |
| 2000 | MITCHELL, RONALD | 8/7/2001 at 10:57:58 PM | HEY WHATS UP EVERYONE, JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT I'M STILL ALIVE. BUT I'M SORTA SAD THAT I COULDNT GRADUATE WITH Y0U GUYS AND GALS BUT I GUESS OH WELL. BUT I'M STARTING MY SECOND YR OF SCHOOL AT NORTHWOOD UNIVERSITY THIS SEPTEMBER. I'LL SEE YOU PEEPS AROUND, PEACE OUT! |
| 2000 | Neuman, John | May 26, 2005 at 08:57:27 | I live out here in San Diego, California in the Clairemont district. I graduated with my degree in Communications from Michigan State University in 2004, and I now I live out here in Dago. I live less than 5 minutes from La Jolla Shores and 8 minutes from Pacific Beach. I am starting my Master's degree in Mission Valley here at San Diego State (Go Aztecs!). Right now, I work full-time for AAFL Enterprises where I'm constantly communicating with USC and UCLA. In my sparetime, I'm either at a dope house party gettin faded down at San Diego State or hanging out in Pacific Beach. I go to a lot of westcoast rap shows and I drive up to Los Angeles to see the Lakers whenever I get a chance with my crew. This memorial day I'm chillin up at Newport Beach at one of my friend's birthday party. I plan on visiting every 3 months Mid-Michigan so if you see your boy holla and show me some love! Good lookin out. |
| 2000 | Neumeyer, Brian | Apr 23, 2009 at 13:22:36 | Hello fellow alumni students. Well I have been married since March 1, 2008 and just found out I am going to be a father this year and we are both very excited to have this child. I have finished my college with a bachelors degree in management. |
| 2000 | Olson, Mike | 9/17/2000 at 10:09:12 PM | Attending Oakland University, studying computer science. |
| 2000 | Page, Jenna (ya'll knew me as Jean *smirk*) | 11/27/2003 at 4:44:42 AM | Ahhh... so THIS is where everyone spills what's going on in and outta Lapeer... I spent the last 2.5 years bouncing from Florida (6mo) to Washington DC (20mo) to Texas (I do NOT recommend texas- not exactly the funnest place on earth.. *newsflash* There IS a place more boring with less action than Lapeer!) As of now, I've been in England- the one with the Queen- for 5 months. I just got back from visiting my still very best friend Nikkie Ingersoll in Japan- she's doing great as a stellar sailor (for you military buffs, we both made E5 in may-middle management, hazzah!).... I DO recommend going basically anywhere over the water if you get the chance! Anyway- the Navy has treated me well, I'm almost done being a super international spy (okay, so the job sounded a LOT cooler than it really is- ask Ed or Nikkie, they'll tell ya) and I'm well on my way to a degree in Design... next stop (2005ish) is likely to be Cali where there is a Marine i have on my mind ;) Msg me if ya like, otherwise I'll catch ya'll next time I'm cruisin Meijer at 2:00 am =p |
| 2000 | Pastue, Abbie | Mar 26, 2006 at 21:32:19 | Hey to anyone reading this. I pretty much separated myself from the lovely Lapeer scene when I went to Eastern but now I am back in Lapeer and starting a new job. I graduated from EMU with a Bachelors of Fine Arts and concentrated in Photography. Being poor really bites but, soon that will chage I hope. I don't know who still resides in Lapeer or who migrated back here but, if you want to get a hold of me and hang out just drop me a line. I am currently not with anyone in particular, which is fine with me becase I was with the same guy for almost 6 years, so I am enjoying my singledom. I am glad to hear that everyone is doing so well (sorry about Western Evan:) If I don't hear from ya have a happy life! |
| 2000 | (Phillips)Phillips, Melissa | 9/25/2003 at 5:34:11 AM | Well, if I ever remembered my password I would not have to keep doing this. I am still living in Davison. Tim and I own a house there. My son Miles is now 15 months old, and into everything. I am currently working at my parents store in Hadley. I am attending classes at Mott in Lapeer. It will probably take me ten years to get a degree, but oh well. I am getting married in June of 2004 to Tim Russell. I wish all of you the best! |
| 2000 | Pool, Rachel | Feb 11, 2008 at 13:29:20 | Well, it's been a while, folks, hasn't it? I highly doubt most of you will remember me, but here goes... After graduation, I moved to Detroit where I lived and worked various jobs (tutor, substitute teacher, small time hustler, waitress, etc. etc.). I also took classes occasionally. I went to Kalamazoo gung-ho thinking I was going to be a writer. I ended up joining a Greek organization (APO) and started hanging out with a bunch of musicians, sauced-up artists, hippies and do-gooders. After going on a summer drunk in Europe, I realized that I was meant to be a doctor. Currently, I'm pursuing the life of a professional student in Kalamazoo (double major, double minor...almost finished?). So now, I can speak a half-dozen languages enough to correct everyone's grammar and spelling mistakes...well, I guess I could kinda do that in high school, too. I work behind a bar while my forebearing and damn sexy fiancee tries to persuade me to move to New Hampshire to live with the rest of the Libertarians. If you were in Kalamazoo about ten years ago (and most of us weren't), you might remember him in eyeliner and leather pants as Precious Ken. He now does something evil and weird in a suit and tie at National City headquarters. Go figure. We have a darling half-Siamese kitten named Kappa and a guinea-pig of a dog that I despise named Bella. That is all we ever plan on having for children. Ever. Ever. Ever. Anyways, I've about had my fill of Michigan and graduate school somewhere where snow does not happen is a lovely thought...but I'll probably just end up pursuing a degree in medical anthropology at Wayne State. Or not. Who knows. |

| 2000 | Ruffner, Edwin | Nov 16, 2005 at 08:09:15 | Alright, so I don't remember my username or password, so I am writing again! I got married on Oct. 8, 2005 to Katie Trueman. She graduated from East in 2000. We live in White Lake, were I have owned a house for the past 3 years. We have a dog, who is a malamute mix. His name is Smokey and he is just over a year old. I work in Oxford at Wheels USA, as a Parts Manager. Katie is working as a substitute teacher in the Holly School district and weekends at Hungry Howie's in Highland. She is also going to school full-time. No kids yet, but hopefully sometime in the near future. That's all. |
| 2000 | (Phillips) Russell, Melissa | Jun 12, 2006 at 18:51:42 | Well, I just had my two year anniversary, my sons Miles and Mason are four years old and one year old. We still live in Davison, where I pretty much stay home with the kids. Things are good. |
| 2000 | Sadowski, Jacqueline | Oct 8, 2005 at 12:35:19 | Several weddings, a few babies, a bunch of name changes and college grads....God everyone has been busy. I haven't changed my name, I don't have kids, and even though I graduated from MSU (May 05) I am still careerless. I travelled to Poland (one must see the motherland, right?) and to South Korea to teach English as a Second Language in the past few summers. I enjoy teaching English to high schoolers immensely so I hope to secure a job one day. Oh - I currently live in a small town called Webberville with my parents and younger sister, Marianne. However, I spend most of my time in the East Lansing vicinity. What can I say, it is a fun little town. |
| 2000 | (Dallaire) Schaaf, April | Sep 11, 2004 at 05:35:17 | Well it appears that I am actually one of the few people that have not added their lives to this. I actually swore that I would not do this. Anyway Aimee , as always, already told most of my intresting news. I am married now and almost done with school. I was yet another part of the masses that was inspired to teach. Hopefully we can all find jobs. I live in Davison now, not very exciting. I am glad that it sounds like everyone is doing well. |
| 2000 | (Dallaire) Schaaf, April | Feb 25, 2008 at 09:47:34 | Well I have not been on here is a long while... As Aimee said I had a baby... I had my beautiful baby boy, Dylan, on October 9,2007... I also lost my father to Pancreatic Cancer on Nov.17th 2007.... So 2007 was my best and worst year all together..... I currently live in Columbiaville with my husband,my son, a dog, a cat and oh yeah Aimee....I work for EmploymentGiant a recruiter here in Lapeer... I graduated with a Education degree from U of M Flint but wasn't able to put that to use... I am part of the masses that use Myspace so go ahead andlook me up if you are interested.... |
| 2000 | Shemanski, Joe | Nov 8, 2004 at 13:01:46 | I graduated in May from the University of Notre Dame with a bachelors in finance. In June I moved to Chicago and started working for LaSalle Bank in a commercial lending program. Chicago is pretty sweet. There is always something to do or somewhere to go. Waking up every morning at 6:00 and having to put on a suit has been quite a shock to the system but I.m slowly getting used to it. I.ve been dating the same girl for almost 2 years and things are going good. hope everyone is doing well. |
| 2000 | simion, matt | 3/30/2004 at 5:44:22 AM | how so much changes. and also so much stays the same.still getting my learn on here at the sag nasty, have no intentions of ever graduatiing because with the current state of the economy, thanks to the capitalist bureaucratic government :) but when i finally do get out of here i think i will have something like a double major and quadruple minor (secondary education, social studies, physical education, health, athletic coaching, spanish)can i just say that central kids have the best parties ever (thanks Hatt)i miss everyone from the old Ltown you know who you are, and will have to come come up here to saginaw and party at the house. well anyway i have a few cold adult beverages with my name on them, so i will finish this later |
| 2000 | Truman, Anthony | Aug 7, 2006 at 07:43:28 | I know this is about to sound strange and out of the ordinary, but I beg of you, just stay with me for a moment. I had a dream a few minutes ago, and it was this dream alone that made me post my thoughts on this site. I dreamed about not fame or fortune like most, but a serine sense of pride that I hope all Lapeer West 2000 graduates strives for. Most of this dream I spent chasseing something (or someone) I don’t know whom or what it was, but it seemed no matter how fast I ran I could never catch it. Then I finally captured it in a dark hazy alley (a dead in if you must.) This creature, this animal, this object, that I had been chasing, began to materialize out of nowhere. It transformed, it metamorphosed, into a blonde, athletic young girl that went by the name of Debbie Cliningsmith, (my neighbor and best friend that most never knew I had) then into her best girl-friend a brunet that latter grew up to go on to Eastern and become a world renowned photographer. Then it changed into a short overweight boy that I used to refer to as Ronnie, that reminded a lot of us of Chris Farely, whom latter went on to serve his country well. It also changed into a nice young man that turns out could not hear out of his right ear, but now can. A middle linebacker that was stationed on the USS Chosin in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and went on to bring peace to the world, another young man that would one day wrestle against Hulk Hogon himself despite some hand surgeries. The point of this story is, we can all chase and dream of the past, but never be able to catch it. But the future on the other hand, (a photographer, world peace, comedy, and hearing) is within our grasps, and is the only thing worth dreaming about. For those of you that wish to chase down the past and dream of future please e-mail lapeerwest2000@yahoo.com Sincerely, Anthony Truman, MBA The Corny Dreamer |
| 2000 | Turgeon, Jessica | 7/27/2002 at 6:11:09 AM | hey all--it's been a while, hasn't it?? i'm still at central getting ready for my third year as a music education major...yup, it's true, i'm still a band geek. i'm going to try to get into the education program here and hopefully, i'll be out in about 3 years. i'm now living in an apartment in mt. pleasant, so i only come back to lapeer when i run out of groceries or money. i'm working at pizza hut and hanging out with my friends up here. i miss everyone, and i wish everyone the best of luck with the rest of their studies...hopefully y'all graduate before i do!!! well, hopefully i'll see you guys around or at our reunions... |
| 2000 | Turgeon, Jessica | Jan 3, 2008 at 11:14:14 | I graduated from Central with my Music Education degree in 2005. I now live in Petoskey where I am teaching band in a pretty huge band program (I'm one of 3 directors). I've been dating the same guy for over a year now. I've been doing some running and I've been in some local 5k's (if you guys remember, I wasn't much of a track star, but I've always enjoyed it). I also teach private oboe lessons to some of my students and play in a local orchestra. I don't really talk to many people from high school, except for Lori Kinch and occasionally Lyniece, whom I see at random band director functions. If you want to get in touch with me, my email is cmuoboe@yahoo.com. Best wishes to all of you!! |
| 2000 | Van Wynsberg, Michael | Jan 7, 2005 at 12:22:09 | I just graduated from MSU with BAs in Political Science and Chemistry. What am I going to do with those, you ask? Probably hang them on my wall and forget about them. |
