Since then I have graduated (with honors) from SCC with 2 associtates degrees and have moved on to CSUS. I am majoring in Child Development with a minor in Deaf Studies. I hope to be graduating soon and be able to work with deaf & hard of hearing elementary students. As for my personal life, my little one is now 4, and will be starting Sacred Heart School next fall!! I can hardly believe it. He is so smart it scares me. He is already recognizing words, and knows a little to much for his own good ;) All in all he is a great little guy and he has such a big heart. My fiance is a CHP Officer and is going to law school. My oh my do we have a busy schedule. Between raising my son, my school, Frank's school and his work we are trying to plan a wedding, AUGH!!! It's all worth it though. I attended the 10 year reunion and was disapointed that more people didn't come. But it was really neat to see everyone again. I hope to see more of you at the 20 year reunion. Friends: My friends in high school were Candy, Jaimie, Jennifer Cone, Nancy Haskell - hey does anyone know what happed to her? I was in contact with Candy and Jennifer for a while but I am terrible at keeping in contact. I spoke to Mike Fauzy a couple times but that's about it. Hobbies: I don't have a lot of time for hobbies, but I do enjoy skiing, hiking, swimming, sewing, singing, and reading (all I get to read right now thought is textbooks.) My favorite time though is with my son and Frank, especially when we are able to get away to the coast. Kids: Devyn is 4 and he is such a little man. He is smart as a whip, it really suprises me sometimes. He wants to be a policeman when he grows up "just like my dad." He loves anything superhero and has a great imagination. Frank and I hope to have lots more babies once we are married. (Devyn desperatly wants to be a big brother) Grade_school: Beaverton Elementary (in Michigan) Junior_high: Beaverton Jr. High (also in Michigan) Memorable_teachers: Mrs. Mitchell, she was always there for me and she was my inspiration to become a teacher - I'll never forget her!!

We sometimes hang out with Jimmy and Amy Fox (our fellow mountain friends.) I mostly just needed time to settle down, have my babies and get used to being married. Billy is the best and we have been through it. But we keep on going strong and I am glad for it. A lot happened health wise and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I am doing better and I am having a great time overall.

| Melissa Ross writes: Occupation: Student/Preschool Teacher Bio: After graduation I went straight to work doing admin and accounting work. After about seven years of that I realized that it was not what makes me happy. So I decided to finally go back to school to get my teaching credentials. I am currently attending Sacramento City College and plan to graduate this coming spring. I then plan to transfer to Sacramento State. In my personal life, the most wonderful (and challenging) part of my life began with the birth of my first (and only) child Devyn in July of 2001. He is so smart and loving. I am so very lucky because I work at the preschool where he attends and I get paid to play with my son all day! Nothing's better than that. As wonderful as being a mom has been, being a single mom has proven to be very challenging, but I am doing pretty well. Kids: Devyn Park born July 9, 2001-- I can't belive my little baby is going to be 2 NEXT WEEK! Memorable_teachers: Ms. Mitchell - she was really there for me when I needed it the most.

I am back in the Bay Area again. After living in Sac again for a few months, I realized that I had out grown it and missed all the diversity the Bay has to offer. Not to mention the $$$. I couldn't turn down an offer to get double and a half of what I was getting paid in Sactown so I came back. I am now working at a great Real Estate Firm (The Stabauch Company www.staubach.com) in Palo Alto. It is owned and operated by Roger Staubach (former QB for the Dallas Cowboys). He's been in a few times and I've met him. He's really nice. I support all 5 VPs of the PA office and it is BUSY!! They really keep me on my toes, that's for sure! I get a lot of great perks including meeting Ronnie Lott (he's one of our clients), Joe Montana, great parties, etc. I really couldn't ask for much more:) Trivia: I am still working on the reunion and hopefully, I'll have some more info in the next couple of months for all of you. Thanks to those who have already been asking about it. If you haven't already emailed me about your interest in coming/helping, please do. Every little bit helps. And remember, you all know some people who STILL don't have an email address or have even LOOKED at the website yet. Get them to do it or get their info together because we want everyone to come next year! Friends: I still talk to my girls all the time (Linda Muller White, Cindee Nguyen Dao, and Monica Lam). I talk to others occasionally also but time catches up with us too much sometimes:( Hey everyone...Cindee had a beautiful little baby boy (Dylan) in December. She is a happy new mommy and loving every bit of it!! 5/14/03 |
| Mari Trujillo writes: Ah so much has changed for little Mari. I married my high school sweetheart Jim lewis in May of 1995 and was off to Hawaii shortly afterwards. We lived on Oahu for 3 years while he served in the Marines. Alas the vacation had to end and back in Sactown I was in 1998. I eventually landed at Progressive insurance working in underwriting/customer service. In May of 2001 I found out I was pregnant with my first child and Jim and I were estatic. Found out it was a boy in September and were we ever excited. It felt like life had finally came together. Unfortuneatly Jim passed away in Nov 2001 and that was a major unexpected blow to me. But now I find myself a single mother with the most beautiful baby boy. He has become my reason to live and I love life more with each and every day. I am going to school to become a dental hygienst. I attend part time and otherwise I stay home with my son. I enjoy working out and shopping in my downtime. I am looking forward to our 10 year reunion and seeing how much life has changed for all that were class. 5/10/03 |

I went back to school, did the EMT thing. I work for AMR as an EMT now and currently finishing up the training to be a Paramedic. High school was nothing compared to all this!!

| Kary Riddle writes: Occupation: Operations Administrator marital_status: Married spouse: Lawrence Bio: WOW. I lost touch with just about everyone except Melissa Elkins (Johnson) who got married in 1995. Since looking at the Encina web site I located Elaine Formica, Audreanna Jarwin and through Elaine, I now have a contact for Natalie Scharp. I recently got married to a wonderful man and also became a full-time step-mommy to an 8 year old. My life is wonderful. After High School I got a job as an Office Manager at a jewelry store in Arden Mall (where else), promoted to Executive Secretary and then to Operations Administrator and remaind there for 7 years. Sine my husband owns his own business we decided that recently I would stop working and start my own business. Well, I only lasted 4 months and couldn't handle being around him 24-7 (HAHAHA). The business is still in the beginning stages but hopefully I can return to working for myself once things get off the ground. Looking back I wish I would have gone to college but as they say "It's never too late". I could still wind up a doctor (HAHAHA) Friends: Elaine Formica, Natalie Scharp, Audreanna Jarwin, Bree Bassett, Ryan Connor, Angela Shishido Hobbies: I still love shopping. I guess that was another reason I needed to go back to work. My husband was tired of me spending all of his money. Kids: Alaysha has to be the most sassy 8 year old I know. She is a girly girl and I keep telling her father all of the horror stories from my childhood. Look out world cause here she comes. You would almost think that I gave birth to her. Grade_school: Woodlake D.W. Babcock Grade_school_friends: Well I had many friends in grade school but unfortunately those friendships never carried over to high school. Those people know who they are so names don't need to be mentioned. I hope that at a reunion some friendships will begin again. Junior_high: Rio Tierra Memorable_teachers: Mr. Broadnansky: He had such a great personality Mr. Halfman: He made his class the easiest "A" and my younger step-sister is dating his son. (Go figure) Mr. Drawbert: Only because my sister had him for a math teacher. All of her stories confirmed that it was his way of teaching that got her a "C". So for all of you who sat back in his class saying to yourself... "What did he just do? and How did he do that?", it was him NOT you. (HAHAHA) Favorite_memory: Graduation, since I had to sign a contract with the Principal stating that I missed so many classes (but grades remained good) during my Senior year, I had to attend classes every day for 4 months straight or I wouldn't be able to "walk" at graduation. (HAHAHA) Alumni_in_contact: Melissa Elkins (Johnson) Recently: Audreanna Jarwin and Elaine Formica I just saw Bree Bassett at the Dollar Tree on Arden and she just had twins!!!! comments: I hope that everyone in the class of 1994 lives every day to its fullest.

| Chad Henry writes: Occupation: International Marketing Manager Bio: After my graduation in 1994 I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a scholarship for football. I had a successful college athletic career, but most importantly I completed my degree in Business Administration - Finance. After my eligibilty for college athletics concluded I joined a student organization call AIESEC. It exchanges students for work all around the world. Through this program I have come to my current position. I am now living in Split, Croatia (on the Adriatic coast, across from Italy check a map) and working for a food production company called SMS. We are producers of Mediterranean delicatessen products olives, olive oil, fish products, and marmalades. My job is the development of international markets. Currently we import some of our products to the United States in the food chain Whole Foods. I hope that we will increase this in the future. Kids: None Grade_school: North Avenue Elementary School Junior_high: Rio Tierra Junior High School Memorable_teachers: For me I have a few teachers that are memorable to me for various reasons. Mrs. Begg - She is just one of my favorite people, no matter how much of a pain we were she tried to get something from us. Not to mention I had here almost every year I was at Encina for English. Mr Luchini - No matter how tough you were he was tougher. I always liked the way he taught giving you the rough details and harsh reality. I could have learned so much more from him if tried harder in high school. Coach Hibbard - He is part of almost every high school sports memory I have, I am sure all of my teammates would say the same. He taught me the meaning of sacrafice, dedication and teamwork. I would say that we all wanted to be Coach Hibbard. Coach Wallin - While he was at Encina a short time he helped me tremendously. He was a Cal Poly graduate and helped a lot when I was making a decision to go to that school. He taught me how to carry my self as an athlete and the importance of a positive attitude. Much of my athletic success in college resulted from lessons I learned from him. Favorite_memory: It seems like high school is moving farther away and many of the memories fade and have been replaced. However my favorite memory at Encina would do with my time playing sports. Our group of friends were inseperable and we had great times on and off the field whether we won or lost. Some of the best times were winning the league championship for basketball our junior year, coming back from more than 20 points down against Vanden, finally beating River City in football at River City, and so many other times that cannot be counted. 11/18/01 |

Where else can you work and get drunk with the customers at the same time. I love this job, but it is only temporary. I am in school studying to be a computer science major. Yes I am a computer geek. I hope to get my BA in 2002. I'm what you call a seven year graduate student. Hey, as long as I'm still in school right. I'm young. Trivia: Nothing really interesting about me. For all of those who do know me, I can't live in one house for more than two years and my home phone number changes like 3 times a year. Most of you guys travel around the world, I travel around Sacramento. Friends: My best friends in high school and still are to this day are Somgnot Chandavong, Mike Franklin, Alberto Leyva (the four amigos), and Hai Luc. I still see Somgnot and Hai on a daily basis and got Hai to go golfing more. I lost contact with Mike when he join the Army and was transfer to the East coast.

The best place I got was second (twice). I didn't get any money, unless I want to give up my amature status and turn pro, but I did get alot of fishing tackle. Do you know how much that stuff cost? Does anyone remember Gary Sabola? He works with me at Sumo Sushi. We try to golf about once a week. He's a better golfer than me but I can still kick his ass in boxing. And I just picked up snowboarding. Went for the first time this year and it was hella fun. I went off the jumps my first time going and caught major air. Almost broke my shoulder. Kids: I don't have any kids at the moment. I don't plan on getting married until I am about 30-35. Until then, I plan on living life to the fullest. Grade_school: Eastridge and Whittier.

Memorable_teachers: My most memorable coaches are Coach John Gallen and Coach Curtis Heckle. They coached me for four year at Encina. They led us to two league championship my junior and senior year. Recently I got a chance to coach with them at Kennedy High School in 1999. Gallen is still a sprint coach and (Big Knees) Heckle is still a hurdle coach. I was the jumping coach. It was a lot of fun. So fun in fact that I enrolled at SCC (spring 2000) this year to run track. I ran with a couple of my athletes who were seniors last year. I still keep in contact with Gallen and Heckel. They are cool despite what most people say about them. My personal best jump is 24'4.5". It's not great but I think it is pretty good. I still train today and compete in open invitational. My goal is to one day jump over 26 feet. I know I can do it. Favorite_memory: Winning two league championship in track & field. Story: It's funny how me and Somgnot met. It's a small world. Two families who never met; one from Laos and one from Vietnam moved to the United States. They both ended up in a small town call Amarillo, which is in Texas. Not only that, they lived in the same neighborhood and me and Somgnot went to the same elementary school. I didn't know who Somgnot was at the time. I don't remember when Somgnot moved to Sacramento, but I think he said when he was about 7. I moved to Sacramento when I was 13. I wanted to go to El Camino, but living too far from the school I settled for Encina. I didn't meet Somgnot until the end of freshman year when track season started. He overheard me talking to someone about where I was from. He interrupted and said he was also from Amarillo. I didn't believe him until he started describing the old neighborhood and the school we went to. He started naming people that I knew in Amarillo. I showed him a picture of a girl that I use to talk to in Amarillo and he knew her first and last name. Want to know who she was? It was Somgnot cousin. Scary, huh? It's pretty amazing that we lived less than a mile apart in Amarillo and less than a mile apart here in Sacramento. Heard_about_website_from: From Hai Luc who got it from Donna Ting. 5/11/00 |

As far as the job goes; 8 years and 5 promotions later I have recently been transferred to Springfield Oregon and given a chance to open some new Jack in the Box units in a brand new market. I will be involed in opening about 6 new stores in the Lane County Area of Oregon. It is a big challenge but have worked vary hard for this opportunity. Audrey and I are in the process of purchasing our 1st new home together and that is also very exciting for us. Hopefully we cand start our family soon to fill our new happy home...... Trivia: Was a big decision to move to a new state away from the family and friends, but hope to build a good future in Oregon. Friends: My all time best friend in High School and the only person from school I still talk to is Chris Ballance. Ten years and lots of distance but we are still very close and always will be. Other buddys from school include, Mike Herrera, Bill Cho, and all the old school Varsity Football team mates. You know who you are, don't you miss all the wars against Dixon.... Hobbies: Hobbies include spending time with my wife, on the computer, and I have managed to collect over 400 hotwheels in their original packages. Now that I am living in Oregon I am learned to appreciate the outdoors more, taking up fishing and rafting. Kids: No kids yet, but working on it... Grade_school: Moke Hill Elementry Junior_high: Toyon Middle School, and a semester at Jonas Salk Junior_high_friends: You guys probably dont remember that I was at Jonas....
