Apparently this site's been up for years before I found it. It's really cool! Like: Would Susan Crawford become a violist or a lawyer? Look, she reports that she's both! And then right after that: Mike Crommie's a physics professor at Berkeley! My favorites are: Glenn Gardner is a Tibetan Buddhist monk *and* works on Wall Street! and Gary Kiser's a pro jazz tuba player in France! Hard to match that. I've lived in Seattle for 20 years, since graduating from Brown. I was originally lured here by Microsoft where I worked on Windows 1.0. (When they heard that I went to Samohi, I was immediately recruited to be on the company volleyball team! Not-so-great in SM is still great kicks most places.) I left Microsoft and did Windows contract work at many other companies, eventually starting and closing my own entertainment software business. Finally, I joined a startup in Seattle that was later acquired by Microsoft in late 2000, so I'm back where I started. I'm currently working on the next generation of eDocuments technology. I've worked in document authoring/publishing tools for 8 years. Married, no kids, two really good cats. 100-year-old Victorian house. President-emeritus of Seattle's Jewish Renewal congregation. I don't get to Santa Monica nearly often enough.
Update 2007: Job move. I've been a business lead at Amazon.com since late 2004, in the Social Computing group!

Greetings! I can't believe its almost 30-years since going to Samohi. After ditching about half of my senior year and barely graduating I put my act together and went on to higher education. Spent almost 15 years working in the psych dept. @ UCLA learning a highly specialized treatment for young children with Autism (thanks dad). I opened an agency in Las Vegas in 2005 and made the move to "sin city." We have a great staff, and thanks to everyone’s help, we have grown very quickly and serve children across the states and in Mexico. I'm away from family in Malibu, but the Vegas community has embraced our agency and the state has made great progress helping children with special considerations. I have two state appointments and am a board member of the Autism Coalition of Nevada all of which fight for children's rights to effective treatment and education. I hope to see some old friends in 2010. My best...

Since graduating SAMO, I married Chris Goldstein (Pali '81) and moved around a lot because he was in the Navy. We have 3 beautiful girls, Cassie (19), recently married, Debbie (16), junior in high school, and Taylor (15), sophomore in high school. Haven't made a reunion yet, but I hope to make the 25th.

Hey All! After 20 successful years in the music business making records and dealing with jerks, I lost all my hair, retired, and now make furniture. I'm married with two kids, Tristan, 5, and Elena, 3. Life as a stay-at-home dad is more of a challenge then anything I have ever encountered. I have (mostly) fond memories of Samo. Still deciding what I will be when I grow up. Drop me a line...

Can you believe we graduated in 1980!! After graduation I went on to UCLA, received a BA in Psych and later received a masters degree from Chapman University. I've been married to Tony Egan for close to 7 years. We purchased an 80 year old Spanish Colonial house in Glendale, CA about 5 years ago and have been working on the plumbing ever since! I've been in the Human Resources field for well over 12 years, I'm currently the Director of Human Resources for a large insurance company. Life's good! We travel as much as we can and play golf pretty badly!

Hello all-what a great way to keep in touch.  I have been married for 13 years to my terrific husband Michael and we have 3 beautiful girls ages 21, 8 and 3. (lots of pets as well.) We moved to NO. CA the day after our 10 year reunion. Our oldest is in college and the other two keep us very busy at home. I have been lucky to be able to work at home as a medical billing specialist. We also have a video production company, Cyclevision, for on board systems as well as custom motorsport videos. I am also a JR Girl Scout leader in my "spare time". Hoping to soon get back into Raptor rehab which has always been one of my biggest passions, I just need to get my husband busy on building a new flight cage for me. Regards to ALL !!!!

I am still here in Moreno Valley Ca with my family. My sister Bernadette just passed away in Sept 2007. You know, I've never been to a Reunion yet and I don't even know why. When is the next one? I never see anything for 1980. It's time for 1980 to step up. Don't you think? If you remember me, it would be nice to hear from some old classmates.
