Hey everyone…

 Good to hear from you, Mike. Thanks for the Lombardi family update.

 Three kids and holding for Amy and I. 

  Jeremy is 15 and is a sophomore. He’s got his learners permit and just finished playing JV basketball.  Talk about bringing back some memories.  

 Alaina is my 8th grade daughter.  She is 13 going on 21.  She’s a beautiful young woman, so my biggest hobby right now is striking fear in the hearts of her boyfriends.  I’m pretty good at it.  

  Christopher is my youngest.  He is in 5th grade.  He is my ‘all sports, all the time’ kid.  He plays anything that involves a ball and competition.  He’s kind of a class clown.  I think he got that from the Harpers side of the family.

 I’m still working with Delta but I am out of the sales office and back out with the airplanes.  I will have 20 years with them come September.  Not real fun being in the airline industry right now.  Anybody have any job openings where I can still have 5 weeks of vacation a year?  🙂

 Looking forward to seeing everyone in JULY.

 Hello everyone,

 I have already received several e-mails from many of you.  It is so nice to hear how everyone is doing.  It seems like only yesterday that we all graduated from high school.  Time sure does fly-by fast.  Like others, I too want to give an update:

 I have a wonderful and beautiful wife (of 16 years.) Her name is Joy.  We met in Bible College. We have three children. Our oldest son, Josiah will be 11, our daughter, Rebekah has just turned 7 and our youngest, Andrew will be 6 in October. We home school all three of them.  I am a pastor of a church here in Indianapolis, Indiana.  We have been here for nine years.  Previously we were missionaries in Mexico City, Mexico.

 My brother Mark and his family live here in Indianapolis, Indiana also.  If you would like to contact him, his e-mail is: hoosierlove@MSN.com. 

 We look forward to seeing each of you in July.

 God bless,

Don Bollinger

 P.S. Christy Ford: please let Rob know that we will continue to pray for him. We do thank God that he is doing better

  All right, I guess I’ll get in on the act as well.  I know Christy has been working hard on the reunion, and God knows how she did it, but she managed to catch me at my parents house in Baltimore the one weekend I have been home this year.  I’m still in the flatlands of northwest ohio and still have my environmental consulting business. I have yet to figure out how to run the business and not have it run me.   No kids of my own, but I have a sufficient number of nieces and nephews to spoil rotten then send home to their parents.  And for those of you that remember Laura Melter (Miller now), she lives up this way and has three little ones that I get to spoil as well.  I’m back in school again (even though I barely managed to graduate college the first time).  And YES I know I am too old to be in school, but one of the university’s up here offered to pay for my degree – so how could I turn that down?  School has definitely put a damper on the “fun stuff”.  I did manage to take some time off of work last year and get my private pilot license, something I’ve always wanted to do.  So if I make it to the reunion, beware – if you ask me about flying I will not shut up (I’m sure you all remember how talkitive I was in high school, ha ha).  Hope to see you all then.

Hi All-

I guess Sherry has left me no choice…

I still live in Baltimore..married…no kids.  I try to keep a low profile, lest I end up on one of Christy’s CNN reports. Poor Rob had no idea what went on while he was sleeping.

I’ve been with Discover Card for the last 18 years and currently travel a couple of weeks each month to audit collection accounts that we have placed with collection agencies and law firms around the country.  It’s a nice change from the daily office grind and I work at home when I’m in town, which is great.  The best part is that I no longer have people reporting to me, so their problems are no longer my problems!

As Sherry said, we did FINALLY finish school.  At least I made it through without throwing my statistics book to the floor, jumping on it repeatedly and breaking the spine of the book (yes, Sherry).  As far as the brown-nosing, she should be ashamed of herself.  I think it’s very obvious why she chose to attend vocational school for our last two years of high school.  I’m certain it would have been horribly embarrasing for her to maintain that suck up level in front of everyone she’s known all of her life.

See everyone in July!

Greetings to ya after 20 years!  Can you believe it, 20 years?  I remember when we were in school feeling like it was never gonna end.  Especially, Pete’s history tests!  Thanks to Patricia Berry for pulling me through that tough class!  Boy, time flies after you’re “free”, huh?

Well, after we graduated from high school in May, I signed up for Certification in Word Processing at Cols. Technical Institute (now called Cols. State Community College).  As I was waiting to attend college in Sept., my folks had Eversole Builders build them a barn & boy did those construction guys look hot!  It just so happens this shy girl managed to snag one from the crew, dated him for 5 years & married in ’89.  My folks didn’t know a son-in-law would come with the price of the barn!!!  Didn’t move too far from home.  This country gal settled in ole Lancaster.  Managed to work for Cardinal Industries (manufacturer of Knights Inn, etc.) as an accounting secretary for 4 years & The Kobacker Company (headquarters of Picway Shoes) in the corp. audit & security and investigations dept. for 7 years.  Boy, was that an interesting job.  For the past 7 years, I’ve been pushin’ kitchen tools with Pampered Chef.  I’m sure ya all heard about their awesome food & quality kitchen tools.  Can you believe it, shy gal like me who never hardly spoke to anyone, travelin’ to people’s homes, presenting kitchen shows, preparin’ delicious food in their home & sellin’ tools?  Me neither. 

I’ve got 2 wonderful daughters, Casey 11 born on the Fourth of July.  What a fire cracker she is, and Mikaela 8 going on 21, born close to Labor Day & boy, did she put the labor in Labor Day.  They are into softball just like me and I get to coach Casey’s team this year.  So that’ll keep me busy this summer.  Betcha she doesn’t ever have a coach tellin’ her she’s too tall to play softball.  That’s what Ms. LeVeck told me.  I think she had a short complex. 

 Had to move from our first home in 2001 due to the State taking our home due to the highway going through (33-By Pass).  Luckily, we were able to purchase 5 acres from my in-laws, built a beautiful ranch home all ourselves and are quite happy with the peace & quiet once again in the country.

 Well, that’s what’s keepin’ me busy for the last 20 years.  Looking forward to seeing ya all again!!

 Take care,

Lisa Ackley (Bauer)

Hello to all of you –

Thanks to the hard work of Christy (Young) Ford, it sounds like we are going to have a 20^th year reunionJ  I’m starting to get some updates on some of you and I’m getting more and more excited about coming home this summer.  As for me, I’m in San Diego California, just had my 8 year anniversary with Cori, have two awesome boys Tyler (7) and Garrett (4).  You now have my email so let’s start getting back in touch some before July.

p.s. my memory only lets me remember the things that wont get me into trouble with Cori so keep it clean…ha ha ha

Mike Lombardi

Greetings to all

 Let’s see, I’m still in the Air Force and I have three daughters, Ashleigh 18, Holly 15, Cassandra 8. Ashleigh is in the Navy, since Feb.

Hi to all,

I finally got some time to get this sent out.  It’s seems like just yesterday we graduated from high school.   Well, this is what has been going on in my life sense graduation…I went into the navy June 1984.  I was stationed in Mayport, Florida onboard a minesweeper, then I was transferred to Charleston, South Carolina.  I met my beautiful wife onboard ship(sub tender) on a rainy day in Charleston, while on watch(duty) and we married in 5/88.  I was up for shore duty at this time and of course my new wife was not, she deployed to the Mediterian for a 6-month deployment, not very fun for just getting married.   In 12/1989 our first son(Joseph) was born.   Then the Navy sent us to Keflavic, Iceland (NATO Security Task Group.)  I was a little worried when I got these orders, but you know that was the cleanest and nicest place I have ever been.  We had our second son (Sean) 7/1992, but after 6 days! he left to be with Jesus.  In Sept 1993 I was transferred to Norfolk, Virginia (destroyer tender.)  In 12/1993 I once again was sent to the Middle East.  This was my second time, and I was feeling the pain stronger and stronger about leaving my family, I wanted to be with them, we were tired of moving and deployments.  I left the navy in 10/1994 from active duty, and went into the reserves were I finished in 10/2001.  After the navy I became a general manager for various restaurants, here in Indianapolis.  My wife was called up in the reserves in 09/2001, were she deployed to Chinhae, South Korea, as NATO base security.  She came back in 9-months later, and she got out.  I received the Lord Jesus as my savior in 12/2001(rededicate.)  I went to Anderson University to major in psychology.  While there I found myself not very happy with the college and I moved to Circleville Bible College, I wanted  Biblically based ! studies, and I received that there.  I couldn’t believe how much was changed in Ohio.  I currently live back in Indianapolis were my brother is a Pastor of our church. 

 I am finishing up my college, (I finally nailed down my major, biblical counselor) and look forward to our reunion in July.  My wife is in college she is majoring in accounting, our son is home schooled, so we are very busy.  I hope nothing interferes with our reunion.   

Hey everyone,

After high school I joined the Marine Corps, in which I remained for 12 years.

Lisa & I have been married 18 years this past February.  We have 2 boys, Quinton (Q) is going to be 16 in July and Marcus (Mac) just turned 10 in January. 

We lived in California most of the 12 years spent in the Marine Corps, with occasional stints in Okinawa, Japan & Somalia, Africa. I got to see alot of the world.

We moved back to Southern Ohio for a couple of years once I got out of the Marine Corps. Three years ago we moved back to the Baltimore/Carroll area to be closer to family.

We now have a small farm going with all the boy’s projects, which keep us real busy. Q, is on the Junior Fair Board and has an Angus project where he is raising Angus beef, they have Dairy feeders and pygmy goats. The boys’ sports keep us real busy as well

In the fall I am the lineman coach for the 2nd, 3rd & 4th grade Pee Wee football league.

that is all I have- you can send this on

( Greg VanAtta… where is your Bio??????)

Christy

The picture I’m sending is dorky, so don’t laugh to hard k, I don’t want you to hurt yourself. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again. One question keeps surfacing in my thoughts, which is, I wonder how much my classmates have changed. I know one thing for sure, its not going to be dull!

Ron Blanton

OK people.  I am bound & determined to do my part in sparking some interest
in this class reunion.  Christy is working her lil tail off for us!  Let’s
see….

I sent an email before, telling a bit about myself (one of my favorite
subjects).  I could send out emails telling about some of the things a few
of you did during our school years…but we have husbands, wives & children
who may read these….and I don’t want to cause any divorces.  So that
leaves ME again!  YEAH!

As I am sure many of you have done, I did as the Lord says, I “set forth &
multiplied”. I have 2 children and what’s more..I learned to multiply easily
& I was terrible in math!  So, I guess you could say I  have gotten myself
smarter thru the years.  I have “multiplying” down.  I know my hubby is
happy & my back aches!   Since “multiplying” started to become too easy, I
decided to have myself “fixed” before I began to divide.

Does anyone know how to get ahold of Teresa Benedict Kennebeck or Randy &
Karen McGarvey?  I want to make sure they drag there butts to this party.

OK, I will sign off now.  I will keep this one short n sweet (just like
me!!!).  I refuse to be one of those email junkies.

I thought I would send some pictures of myself, hubby & my boys.  Everyone
says, the boys look just like their father, but I think they favor me.

See Ya!

Hello Class of ’84.

Could it really be 20 years since we graduated?  I won’t be able to make it in July so I thought I would give a brief update.  In 2002 I got married to a wonderful Brazilian lady I met while running a Bible School in Northern Brazil.  Iris and I have one daughter who we named Glynda after my mom.  I am a full time missionary to Brazil and South American.  We live in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil which is on the Amazon River south of the equator.

Hey All!

It’s been great hearing from all of you as the e-mails for the reunion have been filtering through. I’ve written back to a couple of you personally to catch you up on the last 20 years, so I’ll catch you all up now.

I have been married to my wonderful and beautiful wife Anna since May of 2000. We have a twenty-one month old daughter, Natalie, who was born on the fourth of July, 2002, and we have a son on the way sometime within the next four weeks.

My family and I have been living in Bettsville, Ohio since August of 2002. Bettsville is about 30 minutes east of Findlay, or about 2 ½ hours northwest of Baltimore. We moved to Bettsville because I was appointed to pastor a United Methodist Church there.  This has been my first appointment since I graduated from seminary and we’ve been having a great time. The church is small – about 60 folks – but, they’re great people and everyone has the feeling that we’re getting ready to grow.

Between 1984 and 2000 I spent 14 years working for Service Merchandise — may she rest in peace.  I spent 3 of those years as a warehouse manager up in Toledo. After that, I moved back to Baltimore and graduated from Ohio University in 1994. I spent two years substitute teaching in the area, and then God called me into the ministry. I spent 2 yrs at World Harvest Bible College in Columbus, then 4 yrs at Asbury Theological Seminary in Lexington, KY. I FINALLY finished going to school in May, 2002. I hope I don’t have to go back for a long, long time!

Since high school I think I gained about 40 lbs, but have recently lost 30 of those. I’ve discovered that my belts actually have more than one hole! Hope to catch up on the rest this July. It’ll be great to see you all. Stay safe until we meet.

Mike Carnevale

Ok here is my update!!

After serving 4 years in the Army I have been a police officer for Hilliard for the last 14 years.  I have been married to my wife Keitha for 17 years and we have 3 kids. Gage is 12, Jim is 8 and Gina is 7.  I live in Mechanicsburg which is 25 miles west of Hilliard.  In my spare time I ride my Harley.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in July!

Hello Everyone,

It has been great to hear from at lot of you!

I have been married this December for 10 years.  We  have 2

girls they both have light brown hair and blue eyes.  We are not looking forward to the teenage years.   I can see my husband now interviewing their dates and following them around.

My husband graduated from Carroll in 1982 our old rivals

the bulldogs.  A couple of years ago we bought almost 2 acres

outside of Carroll on Carroll Southern Rd., then we built a home

on the property last year. 

I have been blessed that I was able to quit working 8+ years ago

to be home with my girls.  When I was working I worked for

W.C.National Mailing as a Customer Service Rep. for 8 years.

My husband started his own business in 2000 and I do his

secretarial work out of our home.  Plus I volunteer at School/Church

alot.  For the time being are girls attend Fairfield Christian Academy, until business goes down hill or other circumstances

come up that we are not able to send them their anymore.

I hope to see everyone this summer!

Teresa McCarty Ruble
