I was a norwegian exchange student who was fortunate to graduate along with you all back at Samohi in 1988 - even wore out the bench on the varsity volleyball team. Today I work as a high-school teacher in Lofoten, Norway and writes music in my spare-time(chech out some of my songs on the web-link attached). I'm happily married and the father of two beautiful kids (girl and boy). Love to hear from those of you who knew me and have a couple of minutes to type down a message. Take care !!

Stan BLITS email Encino, CA Posted 04/20/04

Life has been amazing since graduating. Went to USC and got a BA in Television. I'm currently a Writer and Music Director for the TV show "The Price Is Right." (Yes, there is actually writing on that show! Those goofy showcase sketches we do where we knock-off things like the "The Terminator" and "The Twilight Zone" . . .and yes, there is music on that show too . . about 40 to 50 pieces per show. It's all scored believe it or not!) Been on that show for 25 years. . .Yikes! It's amazing. I won the job lotto! I also freelanced for a ton of other TV shows, but "Price" has been the most fun. If anyone wants to watch a behind-the-scenes taping, just drop me a line. It's a blast! I'm living in Encino with my partner of 20 years, Monty (I'm sure THAT'S no surprise to anyone!). I'm sure you're all amazed that you're turning 50 in a few years. I know I am. Oy! I'm decaying right on schedule. Enjoy your lives, guys!

Although I didn't actually graduate from SAMOHI, I was there until my senior year of high school, so I feel very connected to it and the Santa Monica area where I was born and raised. I am married, and my husband and I are trying to get pregnant. I graduated from Cal State, Bakersfield with a B.A. in Acting, and am working on a martial arts movie with my husband, which can be previewed at our website, www.homebrewkungfu.com.

Bridget CASEY Beck email   Posted 06/20/03

On June 19, 2003 I returned to Samo after 15 years to attend the graduation of my cousin Jason Guerin. It felt as though 15 years had not gone by since we were last there. I remember how if felt to be the student with the cap and gown on and now I was a among the many families in the audience.The campus looks the same with the exception of building improvements. Jason is the fifth member of our family to attend Samo. Our grandmother attended Samo in the 1930's, my mother in the 1960's, his mother (my aunt) in the 1970's, myself in the 1980's and he himself who graduated in 2003. Congratulations Jason!

Have gone back to school at SFSU to get a certificate in Biotechology to further the old career. Otherwise all is well, still loving the SF Bay Area, still volunteering with a homeless feeding program, still traveling and all that good stuff. Hi to all, glad everyone is doing well. Feel free to say hi if it strikes your fancy.

     
Bob EVANS email Camarillo, CA Posted 08/17/00

This is a great website, glad I found it. Happy to read that many of you are doing very well. After high school I lived in Costa Rica for a couple of years and then headed to college at Weber State in Utah where I received a scholarship to compete in Track & Field for one of America's greatest distance coaches (Chick Hislop). Collegiate athletics was a blast and my senior campaign I received All-American status in the 10K and qualified to compete in the 1996 Olympic Trials in Atlanta in the steeplechase. In 1998, my wife, Andrea and I were married and are now enjoying life in sunny So Cal. I took a job with Novell, a software company, that has brought us back to my neck of the woods in Santa Monica/ West LA where my office is. I hope to hear from many of you and wish you all the best of success.

I'm living in Maine! Yes, Maine. I know that we people in So. Cal don't know that the East Coast exists, and for good reason! It's really beautiful here in the summer and then everyone sits around and waits for summer again! My husband and I own a hotel on the southern coast of Maine and are buying another one as I type, so, I guess I'm stuck here for awhile! No kids yet, but, hoping for some. I have 5 nieces, 3 from my Brother, Craig and 2 from my sister, Marcy. They are sooo cute and so much fun! But also in California. I will get back there some day, I miss the year round sunshine that I always took for granted! Would love to hear from you all!

     
Tessa FRANCIS email   Posted 10/17/07

Hey all. Am living on an island in the Puget Sound with my husband Jamie Lopez and our 6 month old son, Oscar. I am *this close* to finishing my PhD in aquatic ecology at the Univ of Washington. It's been a windy road (BA in Poli Sci at Berkeley, assistant to Mel Brooks, fringe theater producer, BS in Wildlife Science at UW), but I think this is what I wanna do when I grow up!

I just returned from the Himalayas (Tibet) after reaching the summit of Cho Oyu at about 9 a.m. on Sept. 25, Nepal time. Cho Oyu is 26,900 feet and is the world's 6th highest mountain.

Daniel GREENE email   Posted 10/20/06

Hello class of ’88. Thought I’d update everyone on what I’ve been up to over the past 18 years!!!! After SAMO, I graduated from the Naval Academy and spent 12 years flying fighters for the Navy. Traveled the world, flying on and off aircraft carriers. Had a great time. I resigned from active duty in December of 2004. Completed my MBA at UCLA in August of this year and have been working in the commercial aviation business ever since. The big news: in 2003, Karen Call (’88) and I got married. We live in San Diego with our 2 year old son, and have a baby girl on the way. Karen attended CSUN after SAMO and then went on to law school. She graduated from Loyola Law School about 5 years ago. Before taking some time off to have kids, Karen was working as an attorney for a real-estate and business litigation firm. Karen and I are looking forward to seeing everyone in two years at our 20th (wow!).

     
Kathy GREENBLATT Lincoln email Posted 12/11/04

OK, here's the latest: Composer and president of Bad Ass Music Inc: a music production company. Our music can be heard on many tv shows, films and commercials. Happily married. No plans for kids... yet. I'm glad to see you all doing so well!

     
Iris GROSS Derke email   Posted 11/26/03

After reading everyone's wonderful news, I had to go back and rewrite mine! How amazing to find so many people here. Graduated from SAMO and went on for a BA (Flute) from UCLA, squeezed in a year at the Royal College of Music in London, U.K. for another piece of paper and on to the Manhattan School of Music in New York for my Master's. Finally made it to New York and put my roots down to stay. Carnegie Hall debut in 1993, lots of free-lancing - the usual New York story of taking every gig you can. Still free-lancing but joined up with a concert production company in 1996 and have been a whirling dervish ever since putting together major concert series at Carnegie Hall. Lots of fun running a national youth orchestra, wind ensemble, opera program in greece, and on and on --- but not as much fun as the last 18 months with our daughter Gabriella. Rob and I met at Manhattan School of Music, married in 1994, and have been discovering the true meaning of happiness every since ! in this great life party. Would love to hear from old friends --- great memories of the music department at SAMO. Gave a little back in 2000 and got the SAMO Orchestra to Carnegie with Chris Schwabe on the podium. A real proud moment. You'll be happy to know that the "PRIDE" that Beasley, Hargis and Horimoto instilled in us is still there. (Okay - now give me 10!)

     
Ara GUREGHIAN email Los Angeles, CA Posted 05/10/00

Sorry I couldn't make the 10th reunion. From Boston, it's a pretty expensive ticket. After graduation, I attended USC for a year...studied music and got restless. Left USC to march in Drum and Bugle Corps for four years and tour the country. Worked wih children in the off-season and moved to France to be an Au Pair and went to University in Paris. Transferred to Boston University, finished a History degree, then got my Masters in Education at Tufts (also in Boston) and taught in the Boston public schools for three years. Two years ago, I left to pursue music full-time as a singer/songwriter. Things are going well out here. I've been out of touch for so long, I thought I'd put a line in the water and see if anyone was looking for me. I wish you all the best. Peace.

It is strange doing this, since I do not remember a lot of you. But forthose of you who knew me, well you will be intrigued. I continued with the childcare for a while, as I attended SMC. In fall of 91 my mother died which changed my life course. After getting my AA, I went on a study abroad to Cambrige, England. When I came home I became a hairstylist and colorist and worked at salons around the Santa Monica area. During that time I was figuring out who I truly was and realized how unhappy I was in southern California. So last spring I up'd and moved to Santa Cruz. Where I have unergone career re-training and am now working for a non-profit as a administrative assistant, which I feel really good about. I am loving the colder climate and have really figured out who I am and what I really want out of life. So if anyone wants to connect with an old punk-rocker who is still an activist at heart...please drop a line..would love to hear from you.

Lets see - I graduated from UC Davis with a BS in Zoology in '93; worked in labs for a while, but was seduced by the theater, and ended up in New York City; moved back to CA in '98, and ended up marketing supercomputers to science customers at SGI in Mountain View; was RIF'd in 2003, and decided to revive my theater career. Currently, after a good stint of SF Bay Area theater jobs, I am working as a technical supervisor at NASA Ames Research Center and freelancing as a graphic designer to pay the bills. But just found out it won't be necessary much longer...I was just cast in the upcoming Vegas production of Jersey Boys as one of the Four Seasons, Nick Massi. So, the rollercoaster ride continues...Hope life has treated all of you well.

After Samohi, I got my BA from Cal Berkeley, went to medical school and finished Emergency Medicine residency training in New York, got married to my classmate John in med school, I came back to Santa Monica to settle down with my hubby and 2 daughters, Kelly 7 and Kristin 4. I am working as an ER doc on the Westside. It was kind of weird and cool to have a Samohi classmate as my daughter's kindergarten teacher at Franklin Elementary school, and to run into another classmate at kid's preschool function. With the 20-year reunion around the corner, I wish to see many of you there, since I missed the 10-year one being in New York. Please drop an email to stay in touch!

Whoa, flashback! Since I "graduated" I spanked it in the video game industry. Lived in San Francisco, Austin, Baltimore (shudder), and now Raleigh, North Carolina. I'm a senior producer at Epic Games, the most recent titles I worked on being Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3 (bored yet?). I'm ultra-down to find a copy of the 88 yearbook so if you've got one propping up your bed, drop me a line and I'll make it worth your wild!

About a year after we all graduated I moved to the north shore of Kauai for two years where I began my career in the fitness industry as a yoga instructor. I moved back to Santa Monica and attended SMC and swam on their swim team for two years. I then transferred to CSU Northridge and graduated in 1996 with my BA in Kinesiology. I became a LA County Ocean Lifeguard in 1994 and still manage to make my way down there for at least a month every summer to work the beach. During the 14 years that I lived in LA after moving back from Kauai I also worked as a commercial actress. I attended the University of Santa Monica and graduated with my MA in Spiritual Psychology in 2003. I moved to Vancouver, BC in 2004 and am still here today. I am currently working on my PhD in Transpersonal Psychology and several yoga therapy internships. I currently work as a personal trainer, yoga instructor, and bootcamp instructor for myself (Integrative Fintess & Yoga—iFITyoga). I have not been married ! and do not have any kids—yet ☺ You can also find me on Myspace and Facebook--just search for me by placing my full name in the search field.

We are hoping it will be more than one night, and will include a family bbq, so everyone can get to spend a little more time with your family.

I am back in L.A. a couple times a year, as Kimmie (Kim) and her family live in Newbury Park (as of last year), and the rest of my family is still in CA. I truly would enjoy an email from anyone who'd like to write. I am not always good at getting back to you right away, but have the best intentions!

aka "Jesus" (have since got a haircut) Let's see...lived in Virginia and New York and have finally made it back to sunny Southern California (are they crazy back there? They've got FOUR seasons! That's nuts!) Married five years (thirty-five in dog years) and now divorced. No kids thank God. The custody battle over the cat was enough for me. Lots of yoga and long hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains keep me (marginally) sane. I got my B.S. in Physical Science and B.A. in Religious Studies at Humboldt State University (yes, I know) followed by my M.S. in Computer Science at James Madison University in Virginia after unsuccessfully trying to start a health food cafe with a friend. Currently working as a Systems Analyst at the Center for Software Engineering at USC. I'd love to hear from anyone at Samo. Give me a buzz or drop me an email. And if you've tried to contact me previously at my old entry on this website, I probably didn't get your messages as the information has been out-of-date for a long time. I'm sorry I missed the reunion. I've always regretted that my picture somehow didn't make it into the '88 yearbook and now I will fade into obscurity in the hearts and minds of samohi folks. Hey, whatever happened to Cryptic Slaughter? I miss those guys! Cheers!

I'm loving both careers, though one pays a bit more than the other. Can you guess which? Was married. Now I'm not. Was sad. Now I'm happy again. No kids. Easier that way. Anyway, can't wait to visit LA again to test my long dormant (and hopefully still existing) surfing skills. I'll try to get out there before 2008.
