Johnson, NE
Once I graduated and returned stateside I joined the Air National Guard (stayed
in for 20 yrs..retired the end of '09) and got a teaching degree. In 1993 I had
my daughter, Elizabeth, who is a senior in high school this year. In 2000 I got
married and we had two beautiful children: Allie was born in 2001 and Gatlin was
born in 2007. My girls look just like me, but with brown hair and my son has my
shock of red hair! In 2009 our family splintered when my now ex decided to make
some poor choices. He spent 6 months in jail for his crime and the kids and I
moved out and picked up the pieces. We are still struggling, but I am working on
starting a day care in my home so I can be with my kids more often to watch over
them. I am still in touch with a lot of the old WAHS classmates via facebook and
e-mail (pgerking@yahoo.com)
so look me up! Favorite Memory: C-Van's birthday party and Prom!

Since Wurzburg, nothing much has really changed… Mary-Jo and I are still talking
till all hours of the night laughing and reminisce about everything and
everyone. Therefore if we knew you, you are being ragged on. (haha-just
kidding). Seriously, life after WAHS has been a very exciting and marvelous
journey thus far. I’ve had the opportunity to learn quite a bit from life and
still have room for learning more. Right after graduation, I moved to Heidelberg
and made my mark there for awhile, from there I went on to Munich and had one
heck of a BLAST. From there I followed the family, to included my brother
Clayton and my “other” brother Christian (Duane) Clark, to Washington, DC, where
I graduated from the University of Maryland with a BS. I have since settled in
Northern VA, where I am starting my own small business venture.

Like Christian, I never thought I would write one of these but after reading a
few, I found them intersting as well and thought I would contribute. They are a
kind of, "what happened to your generation". After graduation I got married to
my high school sweetheart Quyen and joined the the Army for the paycheck & free
medical care as my daughter Jordan was already on the way. Didn't like the Army
much, too many rules & regs. and they didn't like me much either. We parted ways
in 1992 and Quyen, Jordan and I moved to Mesquite, Tx. just outside Dallas.
Worked as a business telephone system installer & asst. mgr. of a beer & wine
store & then shear operator, before moving into hydraulic & pneumatic sales in
1996, the same year Quyen & I divorced. I became a single parent and have
dedicated my life to Jordan ever since. In 2003, I purchased my first home in
Little Elm, Tx. north of Dallas and in 2006, I became the Operations Man! ager
of the Irving, Tx. branch of Alliance Metals Inc. I spend my time working,
mountain biking, working on my Jeep, making home improvements and
walking/jogging with my Doberman, Roxie. Jordan will be graduating from high
school a year early, in May of this year(2007) and I look forward to sending her
to college. Ahh the single life again!

I went from Wurzburg to North Georgia College in Dahlonega, Georgia. I stayed
there for 2 years while my father remained in Wurzburg. In 91 he was stationed
at Ft. Leavenworth and I moved out to Kansas to be near family. I graduated from
Kansas State University in 93 with a B.S. in Elementary Ed. I went on for my
M.S. and graduated in 96 with a M.S. in Special Education LD/MR. While at KSU, I
met my husband. He is from Montreal, Canada. He is a professor of Physics at KSU.
We married in 1994. I am currently a stay at home mother of 6 children. My
oldest son was born in 96, my triplets (BBG-fraternal) were born in 98 and my
twins (GG-identical) were born in 2000. They are my biggest challenge in life
and my biggest joy. I have only kept up with Jim Ward from Wurzburg. He and I
have remained good friends and see each other when we can. He is in Wyoming. I
wonder if anyone has hear from Chad. It is really neat reading these bios and
hearing where everyone is in their lives! Angela

Came home to florida after graduation where I proceeded to attend nearly every
college in the southeast, marry a redneck from alabama, promptly divorced the
redneck, and moved back to florida. I played guitar and sang for a few punk
bands along the way until I met my current wife, Michelle, and her two sons,
Shawn and Nevin in '95. Since then we've had another son named Elliot, bought a
house, and ridden out several hurricanes. Currently, I am working on my first
C.D. and playing solo acoustic gigs all over the gulf coast while bartending
part time to support my music habit...Yes, I finally kicked all the others.

Augusta, GA
Left Wurzburg after my junior year and went to Fort Polk, Louisiana. Did my
undergraduate at Indiana University, where I maximized the social aspects of the
college experience for five years rather than four (managing to somehow
graduate). Got married while in Indiana and had my daughter Kylie. Moved down to
Augusta, Georgia which finally became home. Ended up getting divorced (managed
to keep my daughter). After a couple of years of being out of school, I got back
on track and went to law school at South Carolina. Been practicing law since 99.
Living in Augusta now with my daughter who is 11 now (who really is a great
kid). Still remember the good times in Wurzburg, especially playing soccer and
hanging/running amuck with great friends. (Kevin, Andre, Norman and Mindy).
Hope all are well. If you want to drop me a line you can get me at barracudalaws@yahoo.com
or bjones@turnipseed.net.
Side not too those of you who are parents. Best advice I ever received was from
my pops who said right before I started high school, "The next four years
of your life are going to be your greatest and the most fun. You are going to do
a lot of things. Just don't get caught!" Hope I end up being half as good
as he is as a dad.

Stafford, VA
Left Germany in 91 and moved to VA. Went to college and dropped out. School was
never my cup of tea. Got married in 96. Divorced in 2001. Best thing I ever did
in my life...lol. The only high light of it was my very beautiful daughter named
Leona Ruth. Hard to believe my sweetie will be 4 on the 8th of Jan. Of course
she looks and and acts like me, she also already has me wrapped around those
fingers...lol. 2001 was a very difficult year for me. I had met the love of my
life and were engaged when on Aug 12 her and my father were both killed in a
freak motorcycle accident. Less then 11 days earlier I lost my grandfather (my
dad's dad) and we weren't even back from the funeral for four days when the
accident happened. I tell you my life went into a whirl wind then and I honestly
thought I was going over the edge myself after that. I guess it goes to show you
just how fragile life really is. I am so thankful my daughter. She is the soul
reason I'm here today. I have learned to move on as best as I can. My sister and
brother now live out here and we are allot closer now then we were in school.
Wanted to hi to everyone who knew me. Just live life to the fullest and enjoy
what you have. I am sure one day Ms. Right will show up one day. If anyone cares
to email my email is Shmoope89@hotmail.com.

Since WAHS, I attended school in North Carolina. I ended up working as a Sales Manager for 5 years with Radio Shack. I then moved on to doing computer support and web page design for Lockheed Martin. Now I work as a temp for
BF GoodRich in Charlotte. I am married (for the second time, couldn't get it right the first time). My wife
(Brittani) and I are expecting my first and her third child. We have been told it is a girl, her name is McKayla Grace. McKayla is due to arrive around July 27th.
Best Memory: Best memory at WAHS. Oh that would be going to the Alps for a week as part of the outreach program. To be honest I can remember faces of who was there but not names (other than Mike Moss). However, I do remember the great cooking we had to do, the snow caves we made and slept in, the only time I have ever been skiing was then as well. I wonder if anyone else
remembers this...it would have been the winter of 1988/89.

Hi. Well, so much to say. I don't know if any of my friends remember me since we
were all in a perpetual state of stoned and drunk. LOL. But worth a shot. If you
used to hang out at the Rock Palace, or out in the smoking section outside, or
skipped school to get drunk, or went ot the green goose. We know each other.
Email me. The ones I remember are Pete Henderson(I drove you nuts with my always
wanting to be with you. Ahhhhhhh, I was only 15. LOL. You were the bomb. LOL),
Shannon Conely, Adreinne Skaggs, Vanessa, Pam, Michelle, Turtle (his nick name),
John, Bob, Eric, Dawn, Susan Bates, Jason, Ryan, Dennis (mr beastie boy who used
to steal emblems from bmws and wear them as necklaces. lol)......so many. But
those are all that comes to mind now. Most of the friend I had were the metal
heads in school. But never believed in clicks and had friend who were preppy,
jocks, geeks, etc,. People are people, I appreciate the differences. Remember
Bonjovi, Scorpions, AC! /DC......Oh we had a blast. That was fun. Well, have not
changed too much. Still like to go out clubbing, just drink bottled water now
instead of alcohol. Learned to be very comfortable in my skin, very outgoing and
silly and alcohol isn't needed in order to have a total blast. I go to listen to
the music and dance. Like Gothic type clubs. Still dress outrageous. Still look
young. Everyone thinks my 12 year old is my little brother. LOL. I think I look
better now than I did in high school. Married and hate it, but, we don't fight,
we just avoid each other. Ah marital bliss. Have two boys 12 and 5. My 12 year
old is a little skateboarder dude. My five year old is cute. I love being a mom,
not too crazy about being a wife. I am an artist and a student. Going for my BA
in internet marketing and advertising at an art school. Soon will have my
website up and running. Take kick boxing, work out heavy, creating art, the
internet, love the beach,........email me at ! mmjoos@yahoo.com
