| Christopher Buhler Travis wrote: Occupation: Security Officer MaritalStatus: Divorced/Engaged Children/grandchildren: Nathan - 18 SinceGraduation: I joined the Army right out of highschool. When I got out of the army, I came home to Sacramento and went through a series of fast food jobs before settling into a career in private security. I went through a couple of different companies and had a few incidents that made my then wife (Vanessa McKellips - '92) decide she wanted me doing something safer. I left the security industry and spent 4 years working for CareMark as a pharmacy helpdesk technician. When CareMark closed down it's Rancho Cordova facility, I was a stay-at-home dad for a few years while Vanessa worked in the insurance industry. When she got laid off, we moved to WA because we both had family here willing to help us out. That was in 2009. In early 2012, Vanessa found someone else and asked for a divorce. The divorce was finalized in Sept of 2012, making me a single dad for the last year. |
| Adrian Aguinaga wrote: Occupation: None right now. SinceGraduation: I went to ITT Tech back in 92-94 and graduated with an AAS. I went to work immediately after that and have been a designer and a drafter since then. I moved from Sacramento in 95' and back to Sac in 97'. I moved yet again back to central california in 2000 and have been living in and around where im originally from which is Salinas, Ca.. Im always persuing the engineering type work in construction, and am currently studying for my BS. ITT Tech again. In 08' I got very sidetracked due to intestinal surgery for lack of more descriptive words. Im recovering still after those three years but expect to get back to my usual self. I am always studying and taking those state exams for engineering, surveying etc... I have always loved that type of work. I often think of the friends i had back in those days. Sacramento was one of the best experiences of my life. Encina was about the best school a person of 16 years of age could go to. I remember ALL of you. Trivia: I often study for state Surveying exams. I have taken the LSIT tests twice and failed each time. I will pass eventually, I think :). Soon I will start studying for the state engineering exams. Im not a trouble maker like i used to be. WELL OK. I make trouble in more positive ways these days. I hope to start a business some day, but I think central california hates me. B). I dont really list too much about friends and family, but i will say that everything is ok that way. Some days I AM SORRY THAT I TOOK THAT SURVEYING EXAM BECAUSE I SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE PREPARED. BestFriends: I had a lot of best friends. Zac Lucas, Jason McCarthy, Brian Gaul, Jimmy and Joe Moore, Sarah Lucas, Brian Larsen, and underclassmen like Kevis Alexander, Jason Burt, Richard Anderson, and many many more. Pretty much everyone. I CANNOT FORGET JASON BANKS. I WAS JUST ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY WHEN I HEARD OF HIS PASSING. WE WERE GREAT FRIENDS AND I WILL MISS HIM A VERY WHOLE LOT. I know that other people will say the same because he was the funniest nicest person out of alot of people in the school. He knew how to deal wtih the daily stress we went through in those days. My greatest sympathies go out to his family, who i knew. PLEASE EVERYBODY WHO KNEW HIM, LIGHT A CANDLE FOR HIM. I know he was a smart guy. I bet he is in heaven right now as we speak. I WILL PUT MY HAND ON IT. I MISS ALL MY CLASSMATES A WHOLE LOT. Hobbies: I like to do all kinds of things. Travelling is one of the most favorite things i like. I have been to Italy, France, and Hawaii. I hope to do a lot more travelling some day soon. Kids: MiddleSchool: Jonas Salk, Sacramento, in 87' MemorableTeachers: Most memorable teachers was for sure, Eric Dahlin, the pottery teacher. Made some great friends in that class. Does anyone remember Mr. Brunanski even though he was kind of obnoxious. Many of my teachers were my favorite. FavoriteMemory: The most memorable moment at encina was when everyone realized they would not see each other on a daily basis anymore because of graduation. Makes me teary eyed thinking about it. Stories: I remember all the parties. If you were a four year student, and with US, then you remeber the parties we started going to our freshman year. You all know who you are. This doesnt exclude many of you. The list just grew like wildfire after that though. AlumniInContact: Im not in contact with anyone. I missed the 20 year reunion. I regret this. Please contact me no matter who you are. 2/1/12 |

| Shayla Juarez wrote: BIO: After graduation, I went to Brigham Young University. The year before graduation I went on a mission to Ecuador. Loved it. Cried when I left. Then I returned to school and graduated 8 months later with a BS in Psychology and a BA in Spanish (1996). 9 months later, I married my husband, James, whom I met through a church "event" in Texas. We soon moved to Arizona so he could attend a Graphic Design school. While there we had our first son, Alexander Juarez. After he graduated (Jan-99) we moved to Sacramento. In May of 1999, we had our second son, Daniel Angelo Salvatore. We lived a somewhat peaceful life for the next 4 years and decided that 2 kids was enough. I was completing my Master’s Degree in Organizational Industrial Psychology at the time and after walking the aisle at my graduation ceremony decided that I needed to figure out why I wasn’t feeling so well. Turns out I was 20 ½ weeks pregnant. So, plans changed and we couldn’t have been happier. 3 months after learning I was pregnant, Joshua Kimball was born (2003). Today, my boys are: Alexander, Daniel and Joshua. They are the joys of my life and I am the proudest mother in the world to see my 3 sons learning the lessons of life and how to be an upstanding young man. Today I work as a somewhat independently sourced Training Consultant and Lecturer. That’s right, I get paid to speak. *Laugh* I’ve done training work and consultations for the past 15 years and so I’m here to stay. I am beginning to pick up more speaking engagements however, and may soon be at a University Campus near you! My husband is an Illustrator and Story Writer by trade and the "Financial Guy" at a medical office by day! He is finishing his draft of his first book. A book about having sons. It’s a wonderful book that made me both laugh and cry. He continues to do his personalized caricatures and finalize his portfolio called "SlimToonz". He is very artistic, so his brain is another atmosphere. Don't ask me how we communicate. 9/28/08 |

I got married right out of high school it seems to an alumni Vince Redoble. We have been married for 15 years going on 50 it seems. Raising our daughter Laura who also is 15. I have worked at so many different places and have seen so many things that I wouldn't trade them for not going to college. Sometimes I feel like I have done a lot and then nothing compared to those that have made something of themselves. All in all though I wouldn't change a darn thing. Trivia: Our daughter is a sophomore in high school and goes to The Met Sacramento. She is an intern at Wolfe Graphic Design. She is Heavily into manga Japanese art and drawing amazing pictures. She recently produced a web design that her internship submitted, and the company picked her design! She is my most wonderful and beautiful creation. She is my trivia.

Have lost contact with some people that had mattered in life. Hobbies: Hobbies besides my daughter, are knitting/crocheting, antiquing when I can afford it, day trips to places that I want to remember, and cultural events that may daughter needs for her school projects.

Keogh writes: Occupation: Owner/Operator Dental Laboratory; Dental Ceramist Bio: After leaving Encina I graduated with a 4.0 in 1990 from another school. Go figure. Worked all kinds of food service jobs until I decided to become resposible and became a chocolatier. Moved to Portland, OR in 1998 to open a store for Godiva. Left the company but stayed here. (If you've ever seen the Cascade Mountains, you'll know why.) Worked in an internal medicine office for several years then wanted to do something artistic. I began working in the dental lab field sculpting teeth. I opened a crown and bridge lab with a friend last September and finally love what I do for a living. Carving under a microscope is Zen-like and being self employed is wonderful after working two jobs, seven days a week for 4 years to afford it. I recently moved from downtown to a suburb at the mouth of the Columbia River Gorge and had to buy my first car since I've lived in Oregon. (Had to, it's 25 miles to the nearest cool shopping district.) Got to see St. Helens' recent activity! Trivia: I'm a completely different person. It took many years to overcome the trauma that was Encina. Friends: Shawna Denney was my only real friend at Encina. I try to call a couple times a year - Where are you Freakita?

Andy Cloutier ('90 and Matt Cloutier's twin) and I were still together and married in August 1993. The same day of our wedding, we began our drive to San Antonio, TX., for Andy to report back to basic training in the Army before they shipped us off to Colorado. Long story short, we separated for a while, and I moved to Santa Barbara to live with some friends. I did return to Colorado to try and work things out, unsuccessfully. I do however want to make something very clear - Andy was and is a very loving and caring person who I know I hurt very deeply. I have made some very big mistakes in life, but all I can do is learn from them. To Andy and his family and friends, again I am truly sorry for everything. But on to bigger and better things. Since that time, I moved back to Sac. and held various administrative positions. I also rededicated my life to Christ and have been so blessed by Him! I did remarry, my Best Friend Matt (Bella Vista, '89) and have been very happy for the past 3+ years. Trivia: I guess I'm pretty boring when it comes to trivia.

I was not happy about this move and did not like going there. After graduating, I then moved to Austin, Texas for 7 years and went to college out there. I went to Austin Community College for a few years and worked at a 485 bed hospital in the medical records department. After a few years of school, I needed to pick a career. I then got accepted at Southwest Texas State University in the Health Information Management Program. I graduated in 1997 and received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Health Information Management. I then went on to pass the National Exam to become a Registered Health Information Management Administrator. I worked at St. David's Hospital for 6 years in the Medical Records Deparment . After graduating, I was promoted to evening shift supervisor. I gained a lot of management experience and after a year decided that I needed a change. I then moved back home to be near my family. I love being back. I now am the Director of Medical Records at a Psychiatric Hospital in Sacramento. I enjoy my job a lot. I have also met a wonderful guy, who I am engaged to marry on August 4th, 2001. Justin and I have been together for 2 years now.

Unfortunately, he was in a horrible jet-skiing accident last July and compound fractured both bones in both legs.

After a few months working at a clothing store, my life long dream of being a teacher resurffaced. I started the credential program in January and had my first class in September. Aaron and I got engaged the same week. One year later we were married and bought our first home in Atascadero. I continued to teach and we were blessed with the birth of our son, Blake. He is the greatest joy I have ever known. So now I teach full time, mommy full time and try to keep the house clean in the meantime. I could not be happier. Well unless we were having another baby. Hopefully next Spring. Trivia: I still love to throw birthday celebrations. The latest is a rubber ducky party. Friends: Genevieve Bradbury, Craig Shaffer, Melissa Smith I kept in contact with G for a few years but then we lost each other. Hobbies: I am having a great time remodeling a house built by a wallpaper contractor in 1979. Every wall and even a ceiling had wallpaper. I have painted, refinished cabinets, and even layed Spanish tile. Someday, it will be my masterpiece. I also love to do Creative Memories scrapbooks with friends. Kids: Our son Blake is the sweetest little guy I have ever seen. His smile lights up my life and his giggles melt my heart. He loves anything to do with balls. We swear he is going to join the pro golf circuit before he is 5. His swing is absolutely amazing. I wish I was that coordinated.

| David Wilson writes: Occupation: market research interviewer Bio: Most of you would probably recognize my nickname more than my real one. It was Andre the Giant. I was called that so often, even some the guys I ran with didn't know that David was my real name.I stayed in Sac for another year and a half after graduation before moving to Missoula, MT. Yes, Montana. I grew up in a town about the same size as Missoula (pop. about 60,000) and after I adjusted from living in a city to a smaller town again, I have felt at home here. I became a cook about six years ago which I did until two knee surgeries in as many years forced me off my feet and into a sit down job. I found my current work to feed and house my wife Melanie and I til I get out of school as a web designer. I met my lovely wife in August 1998. We dated briefly before realizing that we were meant for one another and so got married. We've been married now for almost 18 months. I know I started late, but I wasn't ready to marry before then. Hell, I wasn't too sure I was ready to do it when I did, but I have never doubted that it was the right thing to do. Trivia: Like I said, I've had two knee surgeries (same problem, same knee), am due for a third for the same thing (again on the same knee) and need at least one surgery on the left one to remove a bone chip in it. I also took up fishing again when I moved up here and during the recovery from my last surgery, I took up fly fishing, a sport that is terribly addicting to some people and a collossal waste of time to others. I guess it all depends on your personality. Since I was already an avid fisherman, I fell into the former category and have gone pretty much from avid to rabid. Oh well, Melanie still loves me though she doesn't even pretend to understand! Friends: Rick Rhea was my best friend and is the one I'd like to get hold of the most. Through a combination of stupidity and fear (it's a long story), I let him go and I would like to hear from him again if anybody knows where he is. Some of my other good friends? Heidi and Wendy Flora (twins), Craig Johnson, Paul (I forget his last name), Chris (Hooter), and the other Chris who ran with us. We used to play hackey sack on the quad nearly every day at lunch. I can't forget Derek Wallen either. The boy had his problems, but he was a good guy and I liked him a lot. Hobbies: FISHING, FISHING, FISHING, and tinkering with my computer. Did I mention that I like to FISH? Kids: Sorry, no kids yet.

I went to Southern California College, now Vanguard University, directly after Highschool. This college is located in Costa Mesa, Ca about 20 min from Disneyland. After graduating with a degree in Theatre Arts, I worked. That got very boring after about three years so I took off t o travel. I spent six months traveling the East Coast. On my way there I was lucky enough to visit Minnisota, Chicago and Illinois, while there is stayed in North Carolina, spent time in Philadelphi, Virginia and New York.

I've been in the mortgage industry for several years now and am in the process of getting my Real Estate license. I plan on going back to school in January to get my BS in Business Management. Trivia: I have been married for just over a year, but have been dating him since my Sophomore year. We have two Children together, Anika (6) and Devin (2). We bought our first house in September of 1997. Friends: My good friends in highschool were Ofelda Gomez, Nichole Smith, Virginia and a few others. I haven't really talked to anyone since highschool. I do keep in touch with Nicole, its kinda hard not to since she works with my husband. I ran into Johanna a few months ago at Noah's bagels. Hobbies: I love to dance and am looking to start taking Salsa lessons. Kids: My daughter is the smartest kid in her class!!! (I'm not just saying that either)She got an above average in every course. During the middle of her 1st grade year she was reading third grade level!! My son (mr rockhead himself!!) did everything early. He was walking at 91/2 months, rolled over at 1 1/2 months, sat up a 3 months. Now he just talkes your ear off. He loves Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. I would say he is really into sports, especially basketball and baseball. Grade_school: I attended Edison Elementary Junior_high: Jonas Salk 7/22/99 |
| Amy Schnieder writes: Occupation: Police Officer Bio: After graduation, I went right into the Marine Corps as planned. I was stationed at MCAS Tustin, Calif. So much for "seeing the world." I completed my four year tour and seperated as a Staff Sergeant in order to begin my new career as a Los Angeles Police Officer. I have been patrolling the streets for four years now. I haven't been on "LAPD" or "COPS" yet and I haven't shot anyone (most commonly asked questions). I think I have made it on to the evening news a couple of times. I never did go to college, just never found the time or the need. Trivia: Nothing that I can think of. Friends: I had a lot of great friends....the entire Honor's English class and Student Govt. I kept in touch with Nikki Panella, Sherry Krell and Deanna Narvaez ('90) for a year or so, but haven't heard a thing from anyone since. I was on something like a stake-out about a year ago and my partner and I had parked our patrol car in a fairly secluded place; minimal pedestrian traffic. We had been there for hours and were talking about highschool when none other than Derek Schujahn walked by. We chatted. Couldn't believe it, the odds of that happening must have been greater than winning the lottery. Hobbies: The only sport I have stuck with is softball, but I play slow-pitch now. I played for the Marine Corps Women's team for a couple of years and now I play with other cops for fun. Don't have any hobbies, but I have taken a liking to weight lifting and I still read voraciously. Kids: I got married while I was in the Marine Corps, but it ended 2 1/2 years later pretty much the same way Ross' first marriage did on the TV show Friends. No, kids unless 1 Rottweiler (Drago) and 2 cats (Dillon & Bear) count. Grade_school: About 12 different schools, but none of them in Sacramento. Grade_school_friends: None Junior_high: Howe Jr High Junior_high_friends: Too many to remember...Mina Hamilton, Ivy Wilson, John Macfessel, Bob Hummel, Christina Leiser, etc. Favorite_teachers: Mrs. Grossenbacher, Mr. Tracy (God rest his soul), Mrs. Pierce Sibling_info: Bryan Karns (Not sure what class, maybe 95) Heard_about_website_from: From the Web 7/21/99 |
