| Bob Nannini writes: Ok...let's see...after high school was college at UC Davis; majored in child development and spent some time in child care work and counseling emotionally disturbed children...they taught me well. Went to graduate school for a Master's in public administration, because I thought the world needed another bureaucrat and I am now happily expending your hard earned tax dollars. Intermingled with all that, I got married, then divorced; but not before having two children who are my breaths of heaven: Jaymie, who's 12, and Gregory, who's 7. I've dabbled in community theater for the past 12 years or so; specifically children's theater at the Chautauqua Playhouse at the old La Sierra High School. Just finished the "Gingerbread Man" where I played (you guessed it)...Da Man. Even wrote a children's play which has been produced at the theater twice, and even won a Sacramento Elly award for best children's production! Zowie! My 15-minutes of fame continue to be a small, eencie-weencie weekly segment on Sacramento's number one morning radio show...the Paul & Phil Show on Y-92.5. I get to read a Top 5 list (a la Dave Letterman's Top 10). I only do five, cause I guess I'm only half as tall. I took a shot at running for president of the Hair Club for Men. I had a great idea for lowering the cost of the "replacement systems" by using squirrel pelts. Seems, however, that one of my models got bit by an infected flea and died of the plague. I lost all my support after that...go figure. So, then I turned to promoting mudwrestling...no fleas there (at least I hope not). That didn't last too long either, though. I tried to save money by using my own mud. I was able to scoop a bunch from the duck pond by my house, but one of the "athletes" screamed bloody murder when she found a dead crawdad in her thong...sheesh, whatta crab! Speaking of crabs, prison wasn't too bad. I mainly worked in the kitchen cleaning out the bug zapper. That was a great job cause I helped keep the food clean when possible and, if I felt the overpowering urge to do evil, I simply wet my finger and stuck it into the zapper. Presto...portable shock therapy! The bad news is I kinda have a permanent static electric charge about me; but, the good news is I can stick to walls like when we rubbed balloons against our hair! Isn't that shocking?? I look forward to shaking everyone's hand at the reunion....hmmmm.....I better go now....I just got done watching Springer which always gets me in the mood for a good jolt! |
| Julia Nickles writes: Bio: After Encina, U.C. Berkeley (majored in Political Science and Economics), then on to Washington, D.C. for 6 years. First as a lobbyist for the State of California (yes, I worked for Jerry Brown) and then for the House Banking Cmte. Then wicked New York where I straddled the Atlantic for the first six of ten years in the city, working for various Wall Street firms. Great fun starting mortgage companies in the UK (truly learned the meaning of "two cultures separated by a common language"). One year off for travel. Since returning to the US in '96, I've been bi-coastal, working for a NY firm, but trying to do so from either Lake Tahoe or San Francisco. Trivia: I discovered the upside of downsizing. When the mortgage market tanked, I took the entire year of 1995 to travel around the world -- put everything in storage and didn't return to the U.S. until Christmas. An unforgettable experience, from the jungles of Papua New Guinea, the top of Mt Kilimanjaro, the deep of the Great Barrier Reef, the Great Wall of China, the outback of Australia, the ruins of ancient Turkey and so much more. And who would have guessed I'd end up back in my old job. Such a wonderful gift the year was. Hobbies: Heli-skiing, scuba diving, tennis, biking and I'm even trying golf. Heard_about_website_from: Dan Dickison told me about it. |

| Patti Prater writes: Occupation: Senior Tax Rep. Bio: Enjoying "life after 40." I know that sounds odd because when I think about high school I think about the days we never considered what our lives would be after 40. 'Cuz 40 was soooo old. Well, now I'm remarried (5 year anniversary coming up this December). I have a beautiful 12-old daughter, April and we live the comfortable Sacramento suburban life (still in Sacramento). My husband, Dan, is from Yuba City. Our favorite past-times are playing Play Station video games (don't laugh), walking the dog, and April's activities (she recently attended a WNBA basketball clinic). Yes, she's tall like me. Hopefully, more athletic -- definetly better looking. I haven't been to a reunion since 1988 but will consider Homecoming and our next one. Friends: Shirley Myers (haven't seen her for quite a few years); Sallie Ashton; Suzanne Hutchins and Donna Prater (no relation) (see them at bingo sometimes); Suzanne Crowder (we bump into each other, normally at the GTC conference); Debbie Fetch (I feel guilty not keeping in touch); Jennifer Bailey (it's been a long time). Heather Kendall (it's been a realllllly long time). Grade_school: Wyda Way Grade_school_friends: Debbie Fetch, Shirley Bedford, Bruce Hunt (and others) Junior_high: Howe Ave. Junior_high_friends: I'm having brain fade. Memorable_teachers: Joe Pat. I was a Freshman during his last year as an Art teacher at Encina and I was lousey at art but loved the class and, of course, Mr. Pat. He made a lasting impression and a few years later I saw him at his Xmas tree lot....not sure he remembered me. Favorite_memory: Twirling a fire baton at one of the games. Heather Kendall, Nancy Trowbridge and I were just a "little nervous." I just wanted to get it over before one of us burned down the stadium (or ourselves) ha ha. But, it was a fun (gotta try it once experience). Heard_about_website_from: Knew the reunion was on-line from Suzanne Crowder 6/9/00 |

I made a cake for our class the year he turned 30; because his birthday is around St. Patrick's Day, I frosted the cake in 2 shades of green, but he wasn't sure what color it was because he is colorblind. I think of him whenever I "reevaluate my criteria." Mr. Trathen probably wasn't sure what to do with the 2 girls in his woodshop class (Denisa Smith and me), but he taught us well enough that we were honored with a woodworking trophy. Favorite_memory: I won a pie-eating contest at the on-campus school picnic. When my Junior yearbook picture didn't turn out, the yearbook ran a picture of me, taken after eating the pie (page 93 of our Junior yearbook), titled, "The Winner!!!"

| Rett Smart writes: Occupation: Insurance Broker Bio: Working like a dog, married for 15 years, and raising two daughters. Trivia: I had several Theatre Art classes with Tom Hanks @ CSUS. I directed Tom in a scene from a Eugene O'Neil play and take credit for his success as a dramatic actor (two Oscars later, no mention in his acceptance speeches). It's ok Tom, and no, I am not gay (not that there is anything wrong with it). Friends: I don't want to leave anyone out so I will just say that I have not been able to keep up with a lot of my friends (hey, it is a two way street). I have kept in touch with Mike Crosby, Dave Valle, and Mike Short on a regular basis. Since '98, my connection with Encina grads has grown due for the most part to Harlan and his dedication to the website and his updates as well as the periodic get togethers such as the Homecoming event. Now that I have fled the Peoples Republic of Berkeley and have relocated to Carmichael, I am trying to renew many of those high school friendships that have faded over the years. Hobbies: Freestyle Frisbee, Ultimate, and Disc Golf (Hawaii State Accuracy Champion, competed in two Disc Golf World Championships, and West Coast Regional Coordinator for the Professional Disc Golf Association). Kids: Two Daughters....one in 8th grade and one is a freshman @ Del Campo. Grade_school: Sierra Oaks Junior_high_friends: I am almost certain that all my friends from junior high have already left Encina. Memorable_teachers: Mr. Botello........as he gave me a true love of photography. Favorite_memory: I have so many fond memories associated with Encina that it would be hard to find just one. Some were scholastic memories, many were social, and some were sports related. I do have a sports memory I tend to recall from time to time..........It was a hard fought football game against El Camino my senior year. We ended up 0-9-1 that year due to an alianation of a number of senior players due to the coaching staff). I had been moved from linebacker to defensive guard early in the season after Gary Phillips had his knee rearranged due to a crack back block. I had one of my best defensive games against El Camino. They double teamed, moved different players in to stop me but I was harrasing their QB the entire game. We ended up losing the game 14-12. I was walking off of the field after another tough loss with my head down when I was smacked hard on the shoulder pad which got my attention.......It was the El Camino offensive line coach who simply said "Hey, you really kicked our ass" and ran off with the rest of their team. I ended up making the CVC all conference defensive team that year (the photo looks like a Mira Loma team photo) and I know that I owed that honor, in part, to a vote and the encouragement of that El Camino coach. Story: In 1997, I ran into Dan Schwartz (Football/Wrestling coach) at a classic car show in Napa. He was showing a Model A that he and his son had restored.

| Kate Steinkoenig writes: Occupation: Payroll Manager for AC Transit Bio: Got my Bachelor's in German from CSUS (thank you, Miss Volz and Mrs. Kojima!)and spent my Junior year at the University of Heidelberg. Had a VAGUE notion of working in Europe -- Ha! How I ended up in accounting, I'll never understand. I moved to the Bay Area in 1979. Thought for a time that I would try to have a career in opera, but decided that I preferred a steady paycheck. I still perform in community theater. Finally, at the ripe old age of 46, I met Patrick, the love of my life, and we got married August 30, 2002. Trivia: 1989 was a very interesting year for me -- I won a bunch of money in a radio contest, quit my job and went to Europe for several months. Came back and interviewed for my current job the day before the Loma Prieta earthquake, and less than a month after starting my job, a crane fell off the top of a building at Kearny and California Streets and missed me by THIS much (I was injured, but it could have been worse). Eerily enough, I worked for about 8 years in the building the crane fell off of. Friends: Charlene Devere, Jeff Rizzo, Lynne Vasquez, Sue Nicol, Renee Welch. Through the miracle of Harlan Lau, I caught back up with Renee, along with Jenny Scott and Dave Mandella (among others) at the 30th reunion. I owe all kinds of emails. Hobbies: Music (Patrick and I are both in our church choir), reading, cooking, travel Kids: Regina, 15 and Andrew, 17 I don't know them well, yet. Patrick is from Uganda and our children, Regina and Andrew, still live there, but we are in the process of bringing them over here. Andrew is very quiet and loves sports. Regina is outgoing and an excellent student. Grade_school: St. Ignatius Junior_high: St. Ignatius Memorable_teachers: Mrs. Kojima and Miss Volz, for giving me a lifelong love of languages. Mr. Lawrence -- the coolest English teacher that ever was. Favorite_memory: "Oklahoma" was a lot of fun. Oh -- and there was this German Club dinner at Mrs. Kojima's house... 4/19/03 |
| Eric Sudhoff writes: Bio: In '75 I moved to Tahoe for the summer, but the summer lasted nine years. I loved the area but realized I didn't want to wait tables when I'm 50, so I returned to reality and school. I got my degree in Mechanical Engineering in '92 from Cal Poly. I worked at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant (no, I don't glow much in the dark and yes, I can still have kids...at least I think I can) while my wife finished her degree in Landscape Architecture. We have since moved to Silicon Valley where I work for Applied Materials and my wife works for HP. Trivia: We just completed one of the most horrible experiences know to man...buying a house in the Bay Area. Hobbies: I enjoy skiing, backpacking, gardening, cooking, and fixing all the things that are wrong with my 'new' house. I like endurance events such as bicycle centuries and triathlons. I've done the Davis Double Century (two hundred miles in one day...talk about sore and stinky!) three times and the Great Race (x-country ski from Tahoe City to Truckee)a few times. I could be pretty good at triathlons if only I were a good swimmer. And then there's that running part. I've never been a runner. And then there's that excess me that has found a permenant home around my middle. And if those really good guys would quit showing up at the events I might do OK. But, I love it. Kids: No kids, just animals. Comments: When I attended the 20 year renunion, it became apparent to me what a great group of people I went to High School with. I regret not being more involved in school activities and not meeting and getting closer to more of my classmates. |
