RHETT KASPARIAN - We just moved back to
Utah after being in Portland, OR for the past 10 years where I started a Career Management company http://www.getnotus.com/. I definitely appreciate being able to wake up each day (or work through the night) and do something I really love. My wife Becky (T-Ville Grad 93) and I have been married for nearly 13 years. We have 5 great kids Kade, Samantha, Megan, Cole and Gabe.I ran into Mike Brown the other day, that guy is tapping the fountain of youth somewhere I swear. HE HAS NOT CHANGED - good genes I suppose. Hockey must keep him young!
We hang with Bocchino and his awesome wife Michelle when they feel like lowering their standards and doing some charity work. I have kept in touch with Kristi Naylor and know that she is doing very well (as if there was any doubt).
For the most part I probably know more about people who were a year older at T-Ville. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion since I was only able to make it to the 5 year. Rhett@getnotus.com
ROBIN (PETERSEN) WILSON - I can't believe
we are this old! Ok, here goes: In January of '89 I moved in with my aunt and uncle in Roswell, New Mexico. Love those aliens! (Not.) There I met my wonderful husband Joe. We were promptly married in October of '89. We then moved to Kansas City, MO where he went to dental school at UMKC. My first daughter was born the last hour, of the last day of '93. Chelsea is now almost 15 and will be heading into high school. Now that makes me feel old! She enjoys the computer, reading, volleyball and her friends. After Joe graduated, we found a dental practice for sale in Belen, New Mexico. We lived there about a year, then moved to Los Lunas, NM, only 25 minutes away. We lived there for about 13 years. In July of '97 my second daughter Morgan was born. She is now 11. She is a great at fast-pitch softball, loves anything pink and green, drama and singing. Then 3 VERY short months later I was pregnant with my third! My son Chase was born in July of '98. He is now a very tall 10 year old. He is very good at baseball and is constantly telling me the make and model of every cool car that drives by. The last two kids are actually the same age for 8 days. CRAZY! We recently moved to Albuquerque, NM, where we built a new home. I have been blessed to be home with my kids. I have been involved with their schools. I still love sports, singing and crafts. I get up to Utah every once in a while. Can't wait to see everybody!SCOTT SWENSEN -I must admit…
I totally skipped out on the 5 and 10 year reunions. Just didn’t think much would have changed at that point. But 20...that’s a bit different (especially considering I don‘t think I have run across a single person from High School which is kinda crazy). After graduation I jumped right into school again. I attended the University of Utah between 1988 and 1994 during which I certified as an EMT (which I never did use) and also received my Bachelors in Medical Technology. I was employed at a Medical Technologist for A.R.U.P. at the University from 1990 to 1998. In 1996 I decided to go back to school and was accepted into the Pharmacy Program at the U. While going to school I managed to hold down the job at A.R.U.P. and also grab a job as an intern with Smith’s Food & Drug in 1997. I graduated from the U once again with yet another Bachelors in Pharmacy in 1999 and have been working in that field every since. I have always been with Smiths but did take about a year off to do work involving patients with HIV. I currently manage the Smiths in West Valley just off of 4700 and Bangerter. I haven’t moved too far from home. I owned a home just down the street from my parents house for a period of time, but have progressively ventured into the West Jordan area where I own a beautiful tax deduction…err…house. I have been single most my life for a variety of reasons…#1 I am difficult (at least that’s that I’m told), #2 I am very independent and have yet to find anyone that can tame that, and #3 Utah Law forbids me to marry ;) (not that I’m really all that broken up about it). Anyway…it will be good to see what the last 20 years have brought everyone. Normally I would say I should be good with the faces and not the names, but hey!!!…it’s been 20 years!!! This could be very interesting. Sswensen@comcast.netSEAN JONES -
I married my high school sweetheart, Julie (Durrant) the summer after we graduated, and we have been happily married for 18 years, (well, I have been happy anyway). We went up to Utah State, where I got my degree in Finance, and now work for Fidelity Investments. Julie works at a pharmacy in Salt Lake. We currently live near Bennion Jr. High. Julie and I have three great kids; Tyler is 16 (Junior), and attends Cottonwood High School, his favorite hobby is girls and our house is always full of them on the weekend. He loves playing soccer on Cottonwood's team and has recently procured a job working at Arby's. (We are so proud - Different is good!) Courtney is 14 (9th grade) and by family mandate, she loves playing soccer, too. She and little sister Katie took District Championships playing for Bennion Jr High. She is our practical jokester and loves to make people laugh (I call her paduwon -- If you're a geek, you'll get that). Katie is 12 (7th grade) and loves being in Jr. High -- mostly because of all the new boys she has met. She is our straight "A" student and excels in everything she does. She recently made Bennion's volleyball team, but her true love is soccer. She wants to be a professional soccer player when she grows up and is currently trying out for Utah's Junior Olympic team. We can't wait to see everyone, and hope all is well. Sean.jones@fmr.comSHELLI (BARNEY) VAROZ - It is amaz
ing that 20 years have past by. Where did the time go? It has been great to see what has been going on in your lives and seeing all your family photos. A little bit about the last 20years... I stayed around the Draper area after high school and went to college. Life has treated me well. I have had many opportunities working in corporate America. Met my husband, Mark in 95, married in 96 and fortunate to have had 2 successfully self-owned businesses with him. Currently, I am doing some consulting for a medical company that is both close to home and school, in case I get the phone call that someone has fallen off the monkey bars, or the call "please come pick up your son, he has fallen and needs to be taken the ER!" We have to wonderful children. Alexis is 6 and just started 1st grade. She enjoys cheer, hip hop, dance, and volleyball. She is very sweet natured and because of this,we have play dates at our house every Friday after school because one of her little friends is always wanting us to take them home. Jake is 3 and started pre-k this year. He is your typical boy. From Lacrosse, Football, Fishing, Shooting a Bow, you name it and he loves to try it out! Our family enjoys traveling. Our trip this year was to Cabo San Lucas where the kids were in the water from the time they were awake til the time we were walking out the door to go to dinner! We shall see where next year takes us! Maybe Cozumel and do some scuba. I can't wait to see all of you at the reunion. A huge thanks to the committee who put this together-you guys are great! email: shelli.varoz@gmail.comSTEPHANIE (HOLDING) SWEATFIELD - Ok,
here goes my story. And again I also have to emphasize how fast the last 20 years have gone by. I certainly hope the next 20 take it a bit slower. The winter after graduation I was introduced to a man who swept me off my feet and took me and my daughter Jodi into his life. That took us to Northern California. We lived a good life. Our son Andrew was born there. I enjoyed living in California, but I knew Utah was my home and I desperately needed/wanted to be back here. So we moved back when Andrew was only a few months old. Things went down hill and we ended up getting divorced about 2 years later. But we remained great friends (maybe even better friends than partners). I stayed single for a long time, a VERY long time. I spent a lot of time just being a single mom to my kids. Then in 2003 I met Will. Online of all places. We totally hit it off. And it worked well that he also came with 2 boys. Together we made a family and it all became official in August of 2004. Our oldest is Jodi, she's 20 and graduated from Hunter High in 2006 and is now going to SLCC with an english major. Next comes Andrew and Shawn, both 18 (it's like having twins who are 27 days apart). Andrew graduated from Hunter High class of '08 and Shawn is almost graduated from Wasatch High in Heber city. And last but not least is Colby, he's 14 and is going to Heber middle school. I'm working for ABC Supply Co. And LOVE my job!!! It's so fun to be this woman who can help people to install roofing and siding. The looks I get from my customers (especially the men) is priceless. My hubby works for Weyerhaeuser Recycling as a supervisor (and hopefully soon plant manager).That about sums us up. Hope to see you all at the reunion. It will be so much fun to catch up. If you'd like to drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you. stephanie3133@yahoo.com
