| Tanya Monier writes: Occupation: High School English Teacher Bio: Hi Everyone, this is an update of our lives in Sleepy Hollow since September 11. I fell off the radar for most people after that day. Sorry about that (DC, in particular), but I was too freaked out to communicate. Thank God, we did not lose any friends or aquaintances that day--in fact, most people we know who work in the Towers were either running late to work that day, getting a cup of coffee, were enjoying vacation out of the city, or (for one good friend) going into labor. Almost everyone I know has similar stories of friends and relatives who *just happened* not to be at work that morning. I don't think that says good things for American work efficiency, but it was a blessing for us. Turns out that I was out of the city that day myself; I tore a ligament in my left foot two days before and couldn't walk well for several weeks. While that kept me out of the nightmare of daily evacuations at work for the first week or so (ivillage.com is located only blocks from the Empire State Building), I was very much stuck with my terrified thoughts. In the days and weeks after September 11, I had to admit to myself that life is too short to write, "Click here to WIN!" I missed teaching, though not the dissertation, so I decided to get my teaching certificate and get back into the classroom. Luckily, Dan's job is stable, so I got done with my work as a fulltime student at Lehman College (*way* cheaper than Columbia, and the people were nicer, too). From Sept-Dec 2002, I completed my teaching "internship" at MS 135 in the Bronx teaching 8th grade English. Nothing in the world could have prepared me for the chaos of this school: police and/or ambulances were called in one or more times *daily*. I felt like I failed the good kids when I finished my internship and left the place (even though six other people quit the same day I left), but 8th grade English in the Bronx is not for me. I subbed around the different districts in my area last semester and was lucky enough to be remembered by an aquaintance, the Chair of the English Department at a private school, when he was looking for a full time English teacher for the fall. So, this September, I will begin teaching 10th and 12th grade Literature at the Hackley School, a wildly expensive private school that focuses on top academic achievement. I feel like a war refugee who's been dropped off at a country club; but I am comfortable and happy with the other teachers and with the material we get to cover. Life is strange, and good. Kids: Still no kids, but two more gorgeous and goofy nieces to play with when I go home! 7/1/03 |

If you don't, I will (especially people like Jennifer Townsend, Mike Baroni, Kevin Dowkes, Donna Duboise, Kevin Durham, Stephanie Eymer,Eddie Fox, Koreana Sinn, Nikki Turner, Chris Young--we need to trade Reunion pictures). 3/6/03 Occupation: Grad student Bio: After Encina, I went to Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and graduated in 1996 with a BS in biochemistry. I didn't get into a PhD program, so I went for the MS in chemistry at CSU, Sacramento and I am graduating this May. Trivia: When are you done with school? Friends: My best friends (males) in Junior High and High school are Dennis Dodd and John Endicott. I have lost and found Dennis Dodd over the years. We are currently keeping contact and get together once awhile when we have time. I haven't seen John Endicott since my first year at Cal Poly. My best friends (females) from Encina are Rina Ambaram Vakharia, Deanna Narvaez and Thu Tran. I kept contact with Rina, Deanna, and Thu over the 6th years that I was living in San Luis Obispo. I still visit and get together with Rina's family every year in Sacto around Thanksgiving and Xmas. She is currently busyyyyyyy finishing her dental school at USC. She hasn't tell me if she and her husband will attend my graduation or not. :-) As for Deanna, I have lost contact with her since I graduated from Cal Poly and moved back to Sacramento. I would like to get in touch with her again. She was living in San Luis Obispo in 1996. She graduated with a BA from UC, Santa Barbara in 1995. I had a great time attending her graduation party and ceremony. (Deanna, if you read this, please contact me. I am sorry for not staying in touch. I went through the "PhD crisis" and I didn't think clearly.) As for Thu Tran, I haven't heard from her since Xmas or summer of 1997. She went to UCLA for dental school in 1996. We stayed in touch thoughout our undergraduate career. She and her sister graduated together from UC Davis. I had the honor to attend their graduation ceremony and party. I hope to get in touch with her again. Hobbies: School, taekwondo, travel and computer. Kids: Meeeeeeeeee...me ..me (kid?? I am too young to be responsible for anyone else) Grade_school: Woodlake Elementary Junior_high: Howe Avenue Junior High Junior_high_friends: Dennis Dodd, John Endicott Memorable_teachers: Mr. John Tracy, history teacher, Mr. Baker, Coach Gallant, Ms. Sherry Lord and Ms. Susan McQuire. Mr. Tracy took a polaroid of me while I slept in his class and posted it. :-) He was a good man. I got to know him and his family after I graduated from Encina. He died in 1991 from cancer. From the experience, I learned that life is too short to be uptight. I kept in touch with Mr. Baker for the first couple years after Encina. He transfered to Mira Loma in 1991 (I think). However, he gave advice and mentor me through the first two years of college. Also, I kept in touch and visited Coach Gallant at Encina for the first couple years. He was also my mentor and guidance. He is a terrific coach, and caring person. He had helped 'lost soul' like myself and student like Jason Duncan through uncertainty of our lives. I believed he is one of our Encina Alumni (way back in the '70s). I would like to have an opportunity to thank him. Ms. Lord and Ms. McQuire helped boost our first fundraiser. We were (probably are) the only freshman class with a $2000.00 in our account. Favorite_memory: Everything became memorable probably because I had massaged them to my liking, or I had realized that I am still young and foolish. Story: No story to tell here, but I would like to extend a personal invitation to all the classmates to come back and rejoice as the class we once began in 1990. I regret that I didn't stick with you to the end. I will be delighted to see everyone again. My thanks to Denyce Bellinger for her unselfishness effort and for being the beacon that guides me home. Like always, I talk in riddle. :-) 5/18/00 |

Still living in San Diego & working at Securerite.com. No kids for awhile (we have 2 cats that are enough trouble=) Bio: I went to Chico State directly after high school--I was one of those that didn't make it all the way to graduation. I completed about 3 semesters, but when my grade point average started slippin' I had to slip out of town. My one semester off turned into the last 8 years! I'm working at a wonderful job in San Diego now, so it's not all bad. Friends: My only "best friends" were Melissa Smith (Naghavi) '90 and Amy Rhoads (Shannon), '89. I had the pleasure of considering most of the class of '90 friends, though, because I enjoyed most everyone. Amy Rhoads is the only one I am still in contact with. Melissa got married, moved to Michigan, and that's the last I heard. The phone number that I had isn't her number anymore so hopefully she's doing well.

I enjoy going to the beach, kickboxing, and enjoying the wonders of Southern California.

| Kate Del Rio writes: Occupation: Money Markets Trader Bio: I'll try to be as brief as possible, I don't want to bore you to death. After High School I returned to Spain and went to university in Madrid to study Economics. That was a five year degree, I spent the fifth year in France with a student's exchange program. I graduated in 1995 and started to work in Madrid for a small auditing firm, but I missed my student life and didn't like accounting so much, so I went on to get a Postgraduate degree at the London School of Economics in the UK. That was a great year, both from an academic and social perspective. I learnt a lot about myself, people and of course, Economic Development. In 1997 I moved back to Madrid and got a job in an American consulting firm, but again I felt something was missing, the job was too tedious and unchallenging, so I quit. In May 1999 I found a job in an investment bank, so I moved to London and this is where I have been living since. London is a very multicultural city, fun and interesting, but rainy and gloomy, I guess you can't have everything. As you can see, I have remained quite international, although Spain still is my favourite place to live, and I hope to return there some day. By the way, I am not married and have no kids either, and neither is my sister, it must be a family thing!!! ust to let you know, my name is not really Kate, but Catalina. I changed it when I moved to California for some silly adolescent complex, but I'm known as Catalina or Cat to everyone. Trivia: I was student's representative at the university council and member of a "left wing" student union, Pat I'm sure you'll love this one. Tanya came to stay with me in Madrid, it was great having her, I felt bad it was during exams time and didn't have much time to show her around. However, I still have pictures from a Mexican party we held at my place during her stay, it was brilliant!!! Friends: Tessie Velasco and Maria Dogias were my closest friends, but there are a lot of other people I remember having great times with, like Kevin Jackson who was my date for both Junior Prom and Senior Ball. Hobbies: Films, reading (Tanya I hope you get into it again, it's one of the few mind developers I know), skiing and going out with friends. Kids: No kids, for now. Grade_school: Spain Junior_high: Spain Memorable_teachers: Mr. Tracy, I loved his psychology class, I still use his relaxation technique when I can't sleep at night.

| Lisa De Leon writes: Occupation: Public Relations and Marketing Coordinator Bio: I thought I did this already and found out at the reunion that I hadn't. Where to begin. After graduating from Encina I decided to pass on UC Davis and stay in Sacramento to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up. I spent 2 years at Sac City completing my undergraduate requirements for an intention to focus on Pre-Med. While there I founded their MESA/MEP Pre-Med Club and felt I was well on my way. I looked at several schools and finally realized I couldn’t afford Stanford and settled for San Francisco State University. USF’s Medical School was and still is very friendly to SFSU students. In my senior year as a Zoology major with the intent for pre-med I decided to give it all up. Frustrated with my choice to drive myself nuts I realized I couldn’t continue and changed my major to something I enjoyed much more, Photography. After graduating from college I ran off to Los Angeles. Los Angeles afforded me wonderful opportunities not only in my career but socially as well. I met a lot of very interesting people and grew into a very independent spirit. I even started my own photography business. Celebrities, parties and VIP rooms do get old however. Which brings me back to Sacramento. Ten years later Sacramento has really grown up. I now work with a young high-tech company and love the place and the people. Trivia: What would be considered "interesting"? I was the President of my sorority, Phi Sigma Sigma. Friends: My best friend through out high school was Shannon Radford and until the reunion I hadn't talked to her in years. It was great to reconnect. Other great friends were Mary Green, Brad Cerutti ('89), David Francis ('89), Alex Philo,Brooke Gentle, Robin Gentle, Ed Fox, Deanna Narvez, Vanessa Watts, Cher Michael, Rob Daleiden and so many others. Hobbies: Well I love photography and learned quickly after having my own business that I prefer to do it for myself. I also love to travel, going to the theater, the arts, sports (mostly watching, not so much participating) and spending time with my family. Kids: I don't have any yet. Grade_school: Hillcrest in SF, Starr King in Carmichael and Del Paso Manor in Sacramento..I get around. Junior_high: Albert Einstein Jr. High Junior_high_friends: Alex Philo, Ryan Engle, Robin Gentle Memorable_teachers: Mrs. Lord!!! I can't tell you how much she made me think. She was an incredible teacher that had the ability to instill confidence in the worst and best of us. Mrs. Sutliff was my chemistry goddess and I miss her pushing me forward. Mr. Tracy, Mr. MacElroy, Mr. B and Mrs.Leaf who supported the spirit squads and made us all work harder to be more than the goofy girls on the sidelines. Favorite_memory: There were so many good times! Senior cut day, rallies, hiding in the baseball dugout, dressed all in black with a carton of raw eggs. Story: In retrospect I really went to school with an incredible group of people. The best stories I can think of could get me into jail so we will leave that alone. I really believe the best stories are yet to come. Sibling_info: Christine De Leon, class of 1994. Alumni_in_contact: I am now in contact with my old friend Shannon Radford and Brad Cerutti.

| Donald Young writes: Occupation: Electrical Engineer Bio: Wow- has it really been 10 years? Since leaving Encina and beginning my journey in life as an adult, I have learned a lot. First of all, I wish some of my classmates had been kind enough to tell me that I was too serious in high school! It didn't take long for me to figure that out. At UC-Santa Barbara, I made my way through the social circuits and learned a lot about myself. I had all kinds of fiascos from being stranded in Hollywood to taking an impromptu trip to Mexico to being invited to a party in Montecito and it turns out to be someone famous ( no telling!). In the meantime, I saw several Encina underclassmen arrive at UCSB but I was too self involved by then. And, even in the midst of all of the insanity, I managed to earn a degree. I graduated in 1995 with a B.S. in Biopsychology and moved to Los Angeles. I stayed there for 3 years working and rebuilding my academic resume to make a run at medical school. It was great there and I was getting very comfortable and relaxed. I had met a great woman and got engaged. Well, that all fell apart and, rather than stay in the aftermath, I moved to San Jose and began my master's degree in Biology. I'm still hoping things can be fixed in time with my ex-. Anyway, I like the Bay area. There are so many opportunities and, after I adjusted to the lifestyle here, I began contemplating a 360 degree change in my life. I found my true calling in Engineering and I had the courage to follow my heart. I am working for a great company and still a student at SJSU. I will still finish my Master's degree this semester (Fall 2000- hopefully) and then begin anew, working on new degrees in Engineering. In the meantime, I am working as an electrical engineer and involved on some great energy projects. My current and most popular is called the San Jose Electric Vehicle Demonstration. Look it up. Well, along the way, I've had a lot of fun doing all kinds of things... traveling, sports, and meeting new friends and celebrities. So, unless something very drastic happens in the next few years, I am staying in San Jose and making a life for myself here. I hope life is the same for everyone else. Trivia: Hmmm... well, I lost my yearbook almost the same day we graduated and I never read any of the excerpts that people signed..Sorry! Friends: Branche, Corey- I keep in touch with those guys. Scott MacIntyre- I lost touch with. Deanna Narvaez- I lost touch with after UCSB. Hope you are doing well. Hobbies: Basketball, golf, traveling, and just hanging out in the Bay Area. Kids: No kids! Grade_school: Howe Avenue Grade_school_friends: Shane Maynard (6th Grade) Junior_high: Howe Avenue Junior_high_friends: I knew Leanne, Shane, Jason Talanian, Mike Baroni..... probably others that I can't think of. Memorable_teachers: Mrs. Grossenbacher- AP English was a pretty cool class. Mrs. Sutliff- AP Physics was hardcore but still fun. Mrs. Woo- EBS was fun while I was there. Favorite_memory: I didn't interact much at Encina so I didn't get a chance to make great memories or impressions. Think I was too serious? 10/10/00 |
| Mary Ann Green writes: Occupation: Mother of Three and Bartender Bio: After High School, I attended A.R. for about two years. I took some "time off" and have not had the time to go back. However, living life was more educating. Seven years ago I was fortunate enough to meet my soul mate. He was the most incredible man I have and will ever meet. He taught me a lot about life and myself. Unfortunately, my beloved husband died six months ago in a terrible work accident. Together we have three beautiful boys. All of which have different characteristics of their Daddy. I am blessed in that sense. They give me the strength to keep moving on. I know that he is still with me. I was lucky to have him for the time that I did. Trivia: I can still remember most of the cheers. Friends: Of course the Cheerleaders and the Jocks, but I would like to consider my whole class as friends. We did have a good blend of people. Hobbies: Hobbies and recreation? Did I mention that I have three kids? I have hardly any time for myself, but when I do I manage to go to the gym at some point during the day. Kids: Gary Kenneth Key, age 6. He is my ladies man. Always concerned with his looks and girls. He is sensitive and a giver. For and parents who have read "I Love You the Purplest" to your children, I Love Him the Bluest. Then there is Eric who is three. He is very clever. It is almost scary. He is a like a wild fire. The quality that attracted me to his Daddy. He is a charmer and can turn any situation around to his favor before you know what hit you. He always makes me laugh. Finally there is my baby, Kyler Austin (age 9 months). He is my husbands face. He looks nothing like me and every bite like his daddy. He is a baby on a mission to do everything that his brothers do. He just started walking and says "Mama" and "Daddy". He is just angelic.

| For John Toth, Chantel Beck writes: After high school John went on to entrepreneur his own Trucking Company based in Southern California. John continued to live his life full of energy and fun. His family and friends remained close to him, regardless of distance. Family trips consisted of hunting in the Montana Mountains, where he thought he was close to Hank William Jr.! He still had his "Too Tall Ford" and had planned on attending our 10 year class reunion in it, with me by his side! He never could get over the fact that we were not voted "Most Likely To Marry!" As many of you may remember, John and I were high school sweethearts. We stayed together for six years, in and then out of high school. Our paths did separate for approximately three years. Our reconciliation came just five months prior to his getting ill and passing away. AND, believe it or not, I DID have an engagement ring! I'm sure he would've wanted everyone to know, so there you go! On a serious note, .... John passed away as a strong, hard working, independent business man. In his personal life he was a kind, giving, and loving man whom was admired by many and loved by even more. While his oneriness is what most might remember, he was absolutely one of the most giving men anyone close to him could know. I am grateful for the time we shared prior to his passing. Through the years he taught me much about giving and unconditional love. His death was caused by complications surrounding liver failure. The doctors believed the liver damage was induced by prescribed ibuprofen and vicoden, for back pain. John lived Dec 01, 1971 - July 13, 1998. 2/2/00 |
