WOW! That's a tough one.I guess any 80's music
Just hanging out with all of my friends and riding the Davea bus.
That was a new drama every day.
Also all of our care free days when we really thought we had problems. Looking back that cracks me up with the so called problems we had campared to "real life"
AHHH! Those we whe best days!I would have to say When Donna Stacy now Elloitt and I tried to crawl out of the bathroom window to ditch gym class.
We were both PE Leaders and got dressed for PE, but then decided we needed breakfast at Omega.
Well we got busted by the hall monitor that monitored the hall by the white gym. Donna had a bit of trouble getting out the window seeing she had a cast on her leg.
Well I bribed the hall monitor into not reporting us to the Dean(since I as in Cosmotology I offered to do her hiar for free) (she took me up on it too)
Anyway we went into the gym and joined the class to walk out with them to the track.
Well the class went one way and we went to the other and enjoyed our breakfast @ Omega and then rejoined the class to walk back into the gym.
Another one is on the last day of riding the Davea bus, I through my practice cosmo doll head into an elderly couples convertible. Funny then, but now I think those poor people.I probably scared them half the death.Still makes me laugh though.
My Dream come true Wedding day and then birth of my two beautiful children.Also being lucky enough to get to stay at home and watch them grow.Oh how they get so big so fst. My Daughter was only 5lbs. 13oz. and then I blinked and she is starting Kindergarten next week.
My son. is already 2. It's the best thing I could ever had happen to me.
I cannot beleive it has been 20 years! Wow how fast time goes. I use to laugh at my mother when she told me that the older you get, the faster times goes, Well as they say Mom is always right. I got married in September of 2000, I married a Union Carpenter.I now have 2 children. Brianna is 5 years old and Travis is 2 years old. Little boys are a great diet program. I also have two stepsons. Michael (20) and David (17). My husband is only about 6 years older than I, he was just a very young dad. Since High School, I did hair for about 3 1/2 years (recieved licence through (D.A.V.E.A.)and then went into daycare. I am now lucky enough to get to stay home to raise my own children and also have a home based bussiness where I can make my own hours. I cannot wait to see everyone in October! I looked at some of the pictures and WOW a lot of you look the same and others I would not recognize if I ran right into them. We should all have a blast!

Anything from Duran Duran
Taking road trips to Michigan with Debbie Nestroy and prom with Deanna Baker (Burchaki) and Cheryl Quist.
Many to choose from, after high school I attended ISU for two years. Then Deanna and I shared an apartment for a year, it was a great year. I met my husband Matt during that time and we were married in Sept. of 1990. We had twin girls, Maggie and Rachel, in March of 1997. I have been a stay at home Mom since that time. Two years ago, when the girls began third grade, I returned to college part time. Currently, I am in my senior year at Aurora University; I will gradutate in May of 08 with a degree in elementary education. I still keep in close contact with Deanna Baker (Burchaki). It truly is a small world, not only is Mike Burnett's bar American Dreamz right down the street from me but I see John Granholm alot. Our kids attend the same school and his wife and I became friends through school functions. We were both suprised when we ran into each other and realized not only did we both attend DGN but graduated the same year.

  UPDATE: We just sold our place downtown and are moving to Utah to live in the mountains. We wanted to change things up a bit and will be moving both our companies out there. Our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks will love it too I'm sure. We leave three days after the reunion so the party will be on that weekend. Send Tom a Message

1985 - Bowling for Soup & anything from the 80's...Mr. Mr., Poison, etc
Falling asleep in my Senior year 1st period acctg class...or in Mr. Fox's Geometry class or...
The birth of my daughter, Charlize.
Great to see all of the before and after pics! Amazing how far the wind has blown some of us! I sometimes feel like I never left! Dating a girl who works at DGN, so I see the place from time to time. After HS went to COD & then North Central on an academic scholarship. Had my daugther with a fellow DGN grad, class of '93. Since then I've been working downtown and playing a lot of competitive beach volleyball. I see 'DJ' Jeff Overstreet frequently at the Lodge after my games at 4lakes and occasionally run into fellow classmates who invariably don't recognize and/or remember me.

I met my husband one week before I turned 21, and we have been together ever since! We married in 1991, lived in Westmont for 1 year, then bought our house in Braidwood(south of Joliet).
After 14 years of fertility problems and treatments .... we were blessed with the opertunity to adopt a baby boy, and now our lives revolve around him! It was a private adoption, so we were able to be there for his birth, and bring him home from the hospital. I worked here and there, and even owned my own restaurant for a couple years, but I was just waiting for my true job in life...to be a MOM ! I couldn't miss one single moment of his growing up. Lucas is the smartest, cutest, and funniest little person I have EVER met, and he only just turned 3! He truely is our miricle ;-)
Hello Everyone!I may not be able to make it to the reunion, but if anyone remembers me and wants to get in touch ... tlv777@aol.com Send Tamara ( Tami ) a Message

I was pretty excited to be Chicago Tribune Prep Athlete of the Week, and to have a half page interview in the DG Reporter.
My favorite times were when I had a wine cooler in my hand!
I will never forget the birth of my two sons at home with no drugs! I can still feel it.
I am happy to see everyone is looking and doing so well. What great stories and beautiful families. Send Amber a Message

Hmmmm....anyone remember my Madonna phase? Anything by Madonna, by default, reminds me of high school
Undoubtedly, "South Pacific." I have many memories of great things in high school, but that one really does stick with me...and Mary Ruscitti reminded me...Showbiz Tuesdays!!!
Wow - there are so many, I can't choose just one, but my top three would be: (3) touring Italy with my church choir, (2) singing the National Anthem at Comiskey Park (it was still Comiskey then), and (#1!!!!) starting my band where I ultimately met and married my husband (married him in a barn, with a horse).
Wow, you guys! I'm getting so excited! Have FOUND so many of you, I'm getting all nostalgic and silly!
20 YRS! HOLY COW! I missed you guys at the 10 and have TONS of catching up to do. I'm a working mom, married to the most "wonderful guy" in the world (sorry Paul...LOL), three beautiful children : Josh, Becky, & Sam (who will, by reunion time be 17, 15, & 11). I'm singing in my band, Deaf Tom Crow, w/ my hubby on guitar (Really, did you think I'd be happy doing ANYTHING ELSE?), in the choir at church - which afforded me the opportunity to sing at high mass at the Vatican in October '01, writing as the parent of a special-needs child blogger, two kiddos with licenses, yet I'm still playing taxi driver, secretary, chef, judge, jury & executioner, driver's ed instructor, counselor, to all of my kids while working to raise autism awareness for my youngest. Had a great time at the reunion. Hope to see you all again real soon. You can always find me by checking the band website and stopping by, or you can also find me on facebook.
