Comments: Hey class of 1997. I was just wondering about a possible reunion and I saw Harmony's comment. If there is Any way you can mail me an invite, that would be great. But anyway, right now I enjoy being a stay at home mom with my two kids Brandon who will be 9 and Adrianna 5 and my stepdaughter Kayla 5. I'm also getting married in October. See all you guys at the reunion. Take care.

Comments: Hello everyone! Here is the latest information about the reunion. Saturday October 27, 2007 looks
like that will be the day of the reunion. Tentatively it will be at the Ramada Inn Bayside. The hotel is in New
Port Richey, next to the Publix on U.S. 19. I have already spoken with the property manager and the room is available
and reserved for us. This hotel has been remodeled since high school and a group reunion from
Gulf just recently had their reunion there.
The best thing you can do now is try to tell as many people as you can about this date and location. The more
people who attend the cheaper the ticket price will be and obviously the more fun, as well. Reunion Celebrations
Inc will do their part in trying to contact all of you and those who have wondered out contact.
Please let me know if you have any questions; otherwise I will continue to post more information as it
comes in. Thank you for your patience and I hope to see you all very soon.

Comments: Class of 97 Picnic Cancellation Notice:
dear class of 97 alumni, there's some bad news and some good news...
the bad news is that due to lack of anticipated attendance (not enough rsvps) The picnic that was scheduled for May 19th is canceled... So if you took the day off with intentions of spending it with us, please enjoy your day...
The Good news is that Harmony Mendoza is planning the official reunion to occur in October, and has started assembling a reunion committee to assist her with the task so progress is being made toward that end
thanks for your time

Comments: Hello. I have recently been made aware that nothing has officially been done for a formal reunion. I feel that we deserve to have something special and I would hate for anyone to miss out due to miscommunication. I am not in contact with any other class officers so I will be using other resources for help. Because of the late start, this will probably not happen until October of this year. Better late than never, right? I have contacted Reunion Celebrations Inc in Tampa and I will do the best I can to make this happen in a timely an inexpensive manner. I will post more information as it comes in. I hope to see you all soon.

Comments: Hello everyone! I finally graduated from USF last December...wasn't ready to settle into the corporate world...itching to travel and go back to Korea...so that's what I did. I'm teaching english in Suwon, Korea and will be here for eleven more months. I'm loving life over here...looking forward to visiting China and possibly Nepal and Thailand. I'm still single and no kidlets. Funny though, I have found myself feeling more maternal these days...must be due to working with kids...or just getting older. Gina...I wanna see pics from that picnic. Take care you guys...and hit me up if you wanna chat. Peace.

Just had a few things I wanted to share with the class of 1997 alumni!
I have spoken to a couple of alums in the past few weeks about celebrating our
ten year anniversary, so I thought I’d post a little site in commemoration.
Feel Free to email me with your memories pix etc if you'd like to share them.
Message me here or get me at the website

There are also some details on an informal picnic get together... info has been
circulating about that and was initiated by Maria Rauchbauer-Morgan.
Yeah there isn't much up there right now but take a look and bookmark it who

For a while we really wanted to get out of this state. In June we drove to California
for the first time in over 5 years! It took 2 days each way. We stayed out there for a week and it seems like the smog in San Diego took its toll on us.
We always want to be somewhere else, but then the reality sets in that we're better off as we are, but it's nice to reach out for something more....

Hope all is well. Things are great here. Finally the long rainy winter is changing into long
sunny gorgeous days! I'm still in Med school. Actually, I should be studying for midterms right now, but
found this website to be far more fascinating at the moment. It's great to hear about your lives. I'll be out
here another 3 years before I graduate, then I don't know where I'll end up. Maybe the east coast, but
I'm really starting to like the west coast vibe. Montana's nice, too. We'll see. No husband yet. No
boyfriend. Brandi, I know what you mean about it being hard to date these days! Geeesh! OK, take care everybody. See you next year.

Comments: if i wrote a list for every fish, than my wish would steal my kiss
since we last made electrostatic contact:
i fell in the tub
i graduated school
i stopped eating dessert
i wrote a few songs
i started dating ninteen year olds
i had sex in the stadium
i swallowed some pills...
so now i can't rememeber what a gerund is.
i don't really know half of the people on this website but i do wish you all a very fond 'hello'. ironically enough i am still living in tallahassee, but i can;t say that i'm not enjoying myself. sometimes i think i enjoy myself just a bit too much. i'm making good money as a general manager of a restaraunt, but still i need to get out of here. you can only take so much of fit blonde girls in ruffle skirts and snow boots. don't get me wrong they're easliy coersed into things, due to their low self esteem, but once you've been with one you might has well just been with them all.
but i'm not saying don't try it, just come up for the weekend.
well hugs and kisses to those of you that i do know, and a tip of the hat to the rest.
if you need me just say my name three times in the dark whilke standing alone in your bathroom, but please do this during my normal business hours which are between 8:00 a.m.
and 7:00 p.m. i don't like being disturbed from the slumber i'm already neglected of
toodles,

ever asked me in school if I wanted to have kids, I would have said NO! But now, I love being a mom. I am having so much fun. It's
like being a kid yourself all over again. I am very busy all of the time, and it's great! I would rather be busy pushing
a two year old on a swing, than have a stressful "real job" any day. I am very lucky! If any one wants to see my

the Tampa Bay area and my husband, Ryan Jensen, a USF college graduate is a Neurological/Orthopedic Sales Representative. We have no children
except for our loving 2 year old - 95 lb. Catahoula Leopard, Georgia. We are obsessed with her agility and sign language training (yes, I
turned out to be one of those damn posh people with their dogs...lol) Ryan and I have been married for a year and we have been together for
about 5 years all together. We are in the process of building a home and we will hopefully have kids sooner than later! We love to travel,
go fishing on our boat and spend time cooking great meals together. I am still very close to my best friends: Jennifer Loveland (now Haines)
and Polly Mallett. :))) P.S. - They are both doing great!!!! Hope all is well with everyone!!! Good Job Harmony on the weather thing, I
think the last time I saw you was at the BUC's Game...and congratulations to everyone else!!! Soon we will blink and be 30...can anyone
believe that??? How time fly’s...send me an e-mail...I would love to hear from you guys!!! Cheers!

Comments: Hey Guys~ Wow it's been a long time! I hope everyone is doing well. Currently, I am living in Tampa
(hating being in Florida, just trying to get through school). I am in my last year at USF studying T.V. production. No,
I'm not modeling anymore. I finished up at the age of 20 after taking on the fashion world in Milan, Italy. At 23 I said
to myself "Self you need to get your a** back in school" (anyone who had Ms. Peek will appreciate that). So here I am
living the single college life with no kids. Really, it's a blessing...I'm milking it for all it's worth. I'm interested
in being a sports reporter/producer (Hi Sara Walsh). Last semester I worked as a public relations intern for the Tampa Bay
Storm. In the fall I will be one of two student reporters, covering USF football and basketball for the Sports On Demand
Network (a new medium giving you updates by cell phone on your favorite Division I schools). It should be cool. I'll be
attending the Big East Media Day this month, definitely a good experience. That's about it, just chillin' right now, focusing
on what I want to do with the rest of my life. Don't really date too much...it's just really too difficult these days. Single
ladies, don't you agree??? Anyway, I'm glad I found this site. Does anyone know if I still get invited to the reunion
even though I didn't graduate? Someone hit me up and let me know about that. Or just hit me up if you want to say hey...I would
love to hear from you guys. Take care and God Bless.

website, since i have never actually visited this site before, one might say that i was as surprised as you were
to find out that i love pretzels and hugs.
well not much has changed. school will be ending soon, and for me it will be off to asheville, north carolina
to work on my most recent collection of short stories titled "midnight milk"--a book which would represent and honor my dear father.
as far as everything else, i do like hugs, i do like lizards, every story can use more robots, i'm addicted to
carpet art, i smell like scissors, i use biodegradable sandwhich bread, i lost my refrigerator, i have very
little regret, and i'm in love with the fact that this high school now has sandals which you can purchase at your local wal-mart.
this will not be the last time you will hear from me...
take care,

Kenzy is two......... need I say more? All girly girl and will be starting gymnastics next month.
My life as a mom has gone to the next level or so I am being told, Mom can I have money for this, that
and whatever else I don't really need. Mom can you drive me here, there and by the way I am bringing
