Hello everyone, and congrats to all of you who are making nice lives for yourselves. Me, I relocated early in 2005 for a job in Anaheim. Since then the company has moved to the Santa Ana/Irvine area, and so have I. The job's almost entirely technical in nature, so I'm sure glad I went and got that degree in English! Well kids, it would be great to hear from you if we've been out of touch. Take care 'til then.

Sevag DIKIJIAN email   Posted 07/1997

To yo Vickings. While I enjoy a nice hot cup of Starbucks coffee and watch the USC and UCLA football game, hoping that my Trojans will win, I think about the nice football games I watched in SAMOHI. The games were eather Torrance or Loosinger. Anyway, enjoying the great web-pages of USC and SAMOHI. I enjoy my coffee more that later on will cost me an arm and a leg -- HA HA HA. By the way, how is the class of 1996? ! How are The Victorious Vickings? How are the Delians or the Orchestras doing? College has some fine differences. Like my University ends a little earlier than SAMOHI; sometimes I think that I need to go back to SAMOHI for my next class even though I graduated with honors (DELIANS SEAL BEARER) in 1996. I guess a part of my heart misses the cool action at SAMOHI. Anyway, I will see you Vikings later on someday.

Hi everyone! I am moving back to New York in January 2003. I'd love to see any SAMO people who live on the east coast now. I graduated with a bachelor's of science from the undergrad business school at NYU in 2000, worked in advertising for a year in NY doing brand strategy, and then moved back here to do a year program in interior design. I'll graduate with an associate of arts in interior design from FIDM this December. I'll get a job in interior design in NY- a few of you always said I'd end up doing something in the art field! I'm getting married in March to Jeff Yang. We met my freshman year at NYU. I'm thankful for all the good memories from SAMO, and I hope to see so many of you at the reunion!
