Adding To The Network
Well I had a good weekend as far as people contacting me since my Friday email went out. Let's hope we hear from several more people before the next post!
We are about half way to our goal of registering 100 people on the Messageboards. Make sure to register if you haven't. And make sure to post! It doesn't even have to be about High School matters, just keeping in touch.
Here is who contacted me over the past few days.
Class of 1986
Tracy Vaughn - Tracy got an email from me that I sent through Classmates.com. She is in Florida currently after travelling the world. She and I talked on Friday afternoon via Yahoo Instant Message. I will have to give you an update on what she has done later since I chatted with her on my laptop (which I left at work tonight) and the message history is on it. I want to make sure I tell you some of the very cool things she has done accurately. On the next post!
Class of 1987
Paul Penticuff - I actually talked to Paul on the phone a few weeks ago and relived some funny High School times with him. He has been travelling quite a bit and is just now able to sit down and write an email to me. Paul is one of 9 partners in a Law Firm in Kansas City of over 50 lawyers and 100 employees. In the last month he has travelled to Charlotte, Atlanta, D.C., New York, Philadelphia, Houston, Seattle and San Diego. He is doing some national litigation for a pharmaceutical client and he has had to travel to get expert witness depositions for the case. He will be leaving again for D.C. and Las Vegas soon. Paul said he occasionally runs into Bolivar Grads while visiting his parents in Bolivar on holidays and just recently he went on a Golf Trip with David Crain (Class of 1987). If you want to see what Paul looks like these days you can see him HERE. He also sent this picture of his little girl, Katherine (Katie) Michelle. I have said before and I will say again that the best part of seeing recent pictures and the children of Bolivar Grads, is to be able to see them in their kids! Thanks Paul!
Marc Ferguson - Marc emailed me from Springfield, MO where he lives with his wife Rebekah. The have been married for 5 years and have a 5 month old daughter named Malorie. Mark graduated from CMSU in Warrensburg with a degree in Aviation Technology. He maintained pretty tight with Mike Miller after college and for awhile they Co-owned a small airplane together. He held a few jobs before going to work for Springfield Charter as a flight instructor and charter crewmember. For awhile, he was the guy that flew the SMSU's Men and Women's basketball teams around! Marc now works for Flight Options out of Cleveland, OH and flies Corporate Executives and Wealthy Individuals around where they want to go. He works 8 days on and then 7 days off. This allows him plenty of time in the summer to spend at Lake Pomme de Terre fishing and water skiing on his boat. Recently Marc has started his own company called "SOME BEECH" after his newes airplane - a Beechcraft Duchess. Other than Mike, he still keeps in touch with Stacy Sikes, Jim Duryee, and Dennis Inglis. Thanks for contacting me Marc. It sounds like you do a lot of interesting and cool things!
Class of 1988
Carol Cunningham (Cates) - Carol emailed me after hearing about the site from Emily Westervelt (Johnson). She is living in Morrisville, MO with her husband Johnny and four children: Maggie (Margaret) 11, John Michael 8, Olivia 6 and Jessica 20 months. For the past 6 years, Carol taught at the Polk County Christian School. She now currently substitute teaches in Morrisville and "volunteers for everything under the sun". Thanks for emailing Carol, now send us some pictures of that family of yours!
Class of 1989
Matt Jones - Matt emailed me from St. Charles, MO where he lives with his wife Anna. They have been married for 11 years and have 4 great kids in Zachary 8, Tucker 6, Mackenzie 4 and Tanner 1. Matt got his degree from Mizzou in 1993 and now works in Business Development for Sealed Air (which according to Anna, means he travels the country telling a lot of people they need to buy his foam). The funny thing is I had emailed Matt and had some exchanges with his wife Anna before I ever heard from him. They were introduced at a Lifeguard party by Chris Redford back in 1991. Matt doesn't get back to Bolivar much anymore since his parents moved to Lake Pomme de Terre and he is up in the St. Louis Area. Anna was kind enough to scan a picture of the Jones family and had Matt send it to me . What a great looking family. Thanks Matt and Anna!
Class of 1990
Holly Parker (Gardner) - Holly went to college in Grand Rapids, MI for 3 years majoring in Music until her mom came down with Cancer. Holly left to take care of her mother until she died in 1993 (I always thought Mrs. Parker was an extremely nice lady. I was sad to hear of her passing). Holly finished college at Limestone College in South Carolina with a History major. She met her husband, David Gardner, in South Carolina and they got married in 1995. Since then, she has lived in Louisville, Omaha, and now Greensboro, NC. They don't have any children yet, so she is able to spoil her choclate lab Jackson and they like to travel the world. (Recently went to Nicaragua and Mexico). Holly said she corresponds regularly with John Casebeer (Class of 1990) and she would love to get back into contact with Stacey Allen, Deanna Welborn, Ginger Hancock and Terrah Hale. I will send her Terrah's contact info, but I need help tracking down Ginger, Deanna and Stacey. Can anyone help us find them?
I am still looking for people to send in any of their High School pictures they may have taken. Right now they may be collecting dust in your closet or scrapbook, but let us have everyone enjoy them! Scan them and send them to me or send copies to me and I will scan them and post them for you. I just added some candids on the messagboard HERE. The first one was taken by Cary Huser who used to go around and take pictures of everything for the Newspaper and Yearbook. We need to find Cary because I bet he has a Treasure Chest of pictures from High School!
If you are a Bolivar Grad and have not contacted me yet, send me an email or call me! We ALL want to hear from you.
