I am working for Dell now and live in OKC. My wife
(Diane) and I are closing on our first house next
week. It is in the Mayfair Village area off N May. My
wife will be graduating from OUHS with a masters
in Nutrition in a couple of years. I married her this
past Aug and Aron
was my best man. We are going to NYC to see
Aron on the 12-15 of May.
Hope to hear from you soon!

After we graduated, I went to school at OSU and started dating
John Foster. I graduated in December of 2000 with a BS in
Fashion Merchandising and Marketing. I moved to Little Rock, AR
to start working for Dillard's. After 3 months, I was transferred to
Nashville, TN. During my 2 1/2 years there, John and I got married
and had a little boy...Tannon Reece Foster. John was in the Army
Reserves and got deployed to Ft. Benning, GA for a year and a half.
In October of 2003, I made the decision to move back to OK to be
closer to family because John's orders were extended for another 6
months. I bought a house in Moore and worked at Dillard's in
Norman. John finally got to come home in June of 2004. In
October, I was promoted. We moved back to Little Rock, AR where
I am currently the buyer for men's/ladies athletic shoes and kid's
shoes for Dillard's. We are enjoying our time here and are in the
process of buying our 2nd home. Tannon is growing so fast and
will celebrate his 3rd birthday May 15th.

Since graduation, I married Danny Reich (senior 96) on June 21, 1997. We
moved to Wilburton to attend school. Along came our first baby, Caitlyn
Nicole, in January 1998. I quit school for quite a while to stay at home and be
a mom.
Danny graduated from Wilburton, we moved to Stillwater so he could go on to
OSU. Meanwhile we had another baby, Cassidy Marie, in January 2000. She
was born with cancer and sadly passed away 15 days later. We soon found out
we were expecting a third baby, and she was born in December 2000. Her
name is Alyssa Faith.
Once Danny graduated from OSU, we moved to Ponca City and he started
working at Tyson Foods as a supervisor. I decided it was my turn to go back to
school and so I started nursing school at Northern Oklahoma College in
Tonkawa.
Our fourth baby, Emily Danielle, was born in October 2002. I managed to
finish school and will graduate on April 29, 2005. Hopefully I will pass the
boards and will have RN attached to my name soon!! I have got a job lined up
in McAlester, working at the hospital. So we have made a huge circle around
the state just to end up close to home again!

It is hard to believe that we have been out of school for almost 10
years! Anyway I live in Shawnee ok, and have been here for the
past 5 years. I got married just recently to a very special woman
on october 21,2005. We have been together for 3yrs, and we
have wonderful little boy that is 19 months old, his name is
Braydon Shawn. I also have a seven year old daughter, her
name is Shalena Faith. I work at Eaton Hydraulics in Shawnee, it
is a huge manufacturing plant. We supply all bobcat, and case
motors to them. Mark Hearn also works here with me for those
of you that may wonder where he is these days. He was also my
best man in my wedding. I have had a great life so far. There
have been its ups and downs, but for the most part I have no
complaints. I am looking forward to seeing everyone, and how
life has treated them. It seems as if it were just last week that
we were recieving our diplomas, life has been very fast!

Following graduation I attended OU. I married
Mitch Smith on June 17, 2000. I graduated from
OU with a B.S. in Sociology-Criminology and a
minor in Communications in May of 2001. After
OU, I went to law school at the University of Tulsa.
On May 29, 2003 Mitch and I welcomed our little
girl, Braydyn Hannah Smith. I graduated from TU
with a J.D. in May of 2004 (finally!), and I am an
attorney with the Mattingly Law Firm in Seminole,
OK (injured in an accident...call me - just kidding!).
In September of 2004 we purchased our first home
in Holdenville, and discovered we were pregnant
again! We welcomed Gage Ashur Smith on May
3, 2005. We are looking forward to raising our
children here in Holdenville.
