I live in South Jordan with my son Jordan. He is 15 and will start this next year at Bingham. I work many jobs right now: I work for the Department of Health and then I own my own massage therapy business called HANZ-ON Massage. On the weekends in the summer I paint faces for my friend's children's party business. I run into people all the time from high school and I am so amazed we usually look the same... I'm currently not married just having fun being a soccer mom, cheerleader mom, chauffeur mom, scout mom. I would love to hear from everyone swmailto:swedescottiegirl@gmail.com Hope to see everyone at the 20 year reunion; we are working hard to make it very memorable.JA NAE (PETERSON) FARRINGTON - Wow I c
ould not believe it when I saw the marquee at THS for our reunion. Has it really been 20 years!!!! I stayed close to home. I went to BYU and then SLCC where I have my degree in Early Childhood Education, but I met the man of my dreams in 1990 and we have been married for 18 years. We were not able to have children of our own, but after a failed adoption 12 years ago, we finally got our little miracle in 2006. Christian was born premature and had lots of problems which led to a diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy. He is the cutest little boy and I love being able to stay home and take care of him. My sweetie, Shawn, works for Boeing here in Salt Lake and we have lived in our home in West Jordan for 16 years. Look forward to seeing all of you.JAMES WEBSTER - Ok, so I am finally 
getting around to writing something. Jim told me about the blog he started quite a while ago, but I have done a little procrastinating. Anyway, I moved to
I have been married for 15 years, have 3 kids (Madison 10, Erin 7, Dallin 11 months) We just moved to Oregon in June with a promotion after living in SLC for the past 3 years. (we have moved around a bit while working for Sprint. Twin Falls, ID, Reno, NV, SLC and now Medford, OR)JEFF WARD - Hi
everyone! I’m hoping to crash the reunion. I graduated from Cottonwood High in ’88 but spent half of my high school years at T-ville (’86 and part of ’87) and suspect I know many of you from as far back as Calvin Smith Elementary (and, of course, Bennion Junior High). Lots of familiar names on the reunion planners’ list; I’ve also enjoyed reading everyone’s bio and seeing your current family pictures. Thanks so much for sharing. Also, a big “thanks in advance” to each of you on the reunion committee for all of your on-going organizational efforts on our behalf! What “I’ve been up to” the last twenty years. I graduated from UCSC (go, Banana Slugs!) in ‘92; my senior thesis was a novel, which was never published. After graduation, I wrote and directed two feature-length independent films but I’m grateful that neither one of those saw the light of day either as they were mediocre at best. In 1995, I moved to San Francisco where I worked for a video production company. I met my partner, Jessica Kolman here and she’s somehow been able to tolerate me for most of the past thirteen years (we rented an apartment in the lower Haight for eight years before buying a house in the east bay ~5 years ago. Two cats. No kids… yet). In 1996, I went back to school to get my California Teaching Credential at San Francisco State. I then taught briefly at two public high schools in San Francisco before deciding I wasn’t really cut out to be a teacher. I’ve spent the last ten years working for Macromedia and Adobe Systems. After a time, I was the Senior Worldwide Product Support Manager where I oversaw worldwide delivery of technical support for Flash, Dreamweaver, Director, etc. in twelve languages around the globe. I had about 200 employees under me, mostly outsourced agents who worked in Manila, Edinburgh, and Tokyo. I got to do a fair amount of international travel during this time period, which I enjoyed immensely. I severed ties with Adobe at the end of last year. Now I like to joke that I’m semi-retired though perhaps I’m still a bit too young for that? I’ve since done some freelance writing for a photo sharing website and I found it was fun to get paid to write. I’ve also started work on a documentary about arcade video game collectors; it’s been a real hoot traveling the country interviewing people who keep these old games alive in their garages and basements (I have a collection of about fifty of these old full-sized arcade games myself). I am also writing another novel. For fun, I like to paint, write songs on the guitar and, lately, I’ve been teaching myself how to cook. I also enjoy reading and listening to music. I’ll be in JEANIE ELEY - its great to see everyone's pictures and hear about how your all doing, its amazing to see how far we have gone with our lives, as for twenty years.... well for me they went by so fast I didn't realize it, I'm more in shock that stephs daughter is 20 and that my daughter is about to enter high school! What about me?? well the year after high school I came out of the closet, what a breath of fresh air that was ,and started the process of finding myself and figuring out what to do with the rest of my life, it has been a roller coaster, its lows including a bad relationship of 7 years and its highs...well the ultimate high.. is my daughter, Shelby, who as I mentioned is starting high school in the fall and is the joy of my life. I have had many jobs during that time trying to find "the perfect job" and in my search found out that the perfect job for me was one that gives me time with my daughter and mom and lets me live comfortably, as it turns out the job was about 1/2 mile from my house at Home Depot, I'm in management and love working there. The other parts of my life are mostly me being single for 10 years now,taking care of my mom, a few close friends and the movies... the scarier the better. I won't be at the reunion but I just want to thank the people from high school that were there for me and let them know I think of them often, you know who you are. Good luck to everyone with their families and futures and remember to be kind and remember to say " I love you" to those important people in your life every day. Peace Out.
JENNIFER (CAMERON) BAY - It’s cliché, but
time flies and now the fun memories of High School are brought back to mind as I watch my kids go to High School. It’s so weird! I have been married to my best friend for nearly 18 years now. David is a criminal investigator for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS, if you’ve seen the TV show). It has let us live all over. We have lived in Virginia, where we met, Okinawa, Japan, Seattle, Washington, and now Chicago, Illinois, where we currently live. We have four great children. Cameron is 16 and a sophomore in High School. We have survived his getting a driver’s license and having and breaking up with his first girlfriend. He sings base in the choirs at school and seems to have a photographic memory. Amanda is 14 and a freshman at the same High School. She sings Soprano in the same choirs and is a brilliant student. Laura is 12 and is in 7th grade and sings like a bird, all the time, and just started running track. Austin is 11 and in the 5th grade. He plays the flute, and seems to have a natural knack for it. Cameron thinks this is a brilliant move as he’ll always sit with all the girls. I am a stay at home Mom and keep very busy with home, kids, Church, friends, and hobbies. I’m really looking forward to our reunion and would love to hear from anyone who would like to catch up! jenstampin@sbcglobal.netJENNIFER (CHARLES) SCHICKLING - Good Afternoon to you all. I was excited
to hear about the fun stuff that was happening with the students of 88'... and sorry I missed the reunion. I am looking and reading up all my friends and peoples lives since the high school, people look amazing I must say. Even after all these years .... attached is a picture of my great addition to my life known Jennifer Charles, now Schickling ... been with this wonderful man name Gabe since 91'. We have two precious kids Darcin and Skylee. Darcin is now 19 and Skylee who is 16. They love to hang with their friends and Darcin went to Kearns High School and played very well on the Basketball Team and Football Team... he still loves to play these sport today as often as he can. Skylee is at Kearns now and loves to sing with her Concert Choir there... I am sure that those of you that was in our Concert Choir can agree that we all had some fun times and seeing her relive those times brings back the memories.... I am a Senior Customer Service Rep for a Medical Company .... My husband Gabe works at a Recycling Company as a Assistant Mgr there. We both enjoy going to the gym and hanging with friends that we live by... hoping to gain some more along life's path. Also enjoy being with our kids, as you know that they grow so fast. It seems like every since high school life just flies by so fast and I remember the days as I am sure again you can agree with me of sitting in class and thinking life just drags... days at school drag. People need to "Stop and "smell the flowers along the way. I hope you all had a wonderful time at the reunion... =} Hope to see you all again at the next one.
I would be glad to hear from you... and catch up, You can find me on www.myspace.com/JenniferSchickling

JULIE (DURRANT) JONES - See Sean Jones' posting.
JULIE (TERRY) JEWKES - I am so
excited to see people at the reunion! I appreciate all of the people who are working on the committee to make this a success! I just can't believe how twenty years have gone by so fast! After high school I had an opportunity to work at the Metropolitan Hall of Justice. I worked with court records and it taught me a lot, It's not there anymore but it sure was educational. I worked at Kami hair and at Realms of Inquiry (a private school). I then got married in 1994 and now have 5 children. I have a daughter who is 13 who is an artist and she loves to sing and has sung at different events. She also takes piano. She can also hear a song then can go right to the piano and play it. I have a son who is 11 and he loves to play basketball. He has played in different championships and has won them. He loves to play chess and has been in tournaments. He also plays the piano. I have twin daughters who are 7 years old. They love to dance and love to draw. I have a son who is 4 years old who just started pre-school. He loves to dribble a basketball. He can dribble it anywhere! He loves to throw a ball! My husband started up a business www.p-d-d-r.com it is a high performance speed supplies pinewood derby business . He sells parts to help pinewood derby cars go fast and win! He was featured on channel 5 and also on CNN. He has races each month where people send in cars from Utah and nationwide. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion! I can hardly wait!JULIA (HAYES) PEARCE - What a ride it has been! I have
known the bravest man for 19 years after being set up on a blind date encounter. Brandon and I have been married for 18 years and are settled into a fun little house not far from where I grew up. I have worked for the Granite School District for 12 years-working first with preschool children and now with a team of professionals who provide communication and technology supports to students in the Granite and Murray School Districts. We have one child, Dallin (17), who is a junior in high school. He is the stongest and most resilient kid I know. He thinks he owns the house and makes up the rules as we go along. He enjoys boating, mountain climbing, telling jokes, reading the newspaper, dancing, eating everything in sight and all things about the vacuum. I keep busy running, breathing,taking pictures of the every day fun, working with legislators and other advocates,and enjoying all the moments we get together. Our family has decided that the purpose of life is to laugh every day and hopefully until our cheeks hurt. The sign I read every morning says:'Things I need to do today: Breathe In - Breathe Out' Everything else is a bonus and adds to this amazing adventure. I am excited to see you all at the reunion and hope only the best for you and your families. Julia Hayes Pearce runnamokk@hotmail.com
