College(s): New studies in Denver (ma, I don't want to go to school today)
Occupation: Navy
Last Updated: 10/30/1999
What's New?: Years go by, time moves us all, and we come full circle. Left the Rock of Gibraltar in the summer of 99 (in pain, due to a broken foot from rock climbing), and now I'm in wonderful Denver. Again. Toured a bit more of Europe and North Africa (highly recommend the Atlas mountains in Morocco) before returning here. I'll be ending my rather interesting military career in this city and getting a real job ("when I grow up I wanna be....). I'll probably be going into the medical profession here so if you're passing thru Denver area....Don't Get Hurt! Otherwise, anyone is welcome to stop by and say hello, or send an email. Namaste.

College: Manatee Community College (FL)
Occupation: US Postal Service QC Technician
Last Updated: 01/31/1999
What's New?: Hey, all...
I'm currently living in Bradenton, Florida. I work for the Postal Service (followed in my dad's footsteps). After a brief stint at Purdue University, I decided I wasn't prepared for it and settled into civilian life. I got a good job, married, and now have a beautiful daughter (Shael Lynne, born in 1988) and loving husband (Edwin, married in 1987), both of whom mean the world to me.
Now that my biological clock's timer has done its job and I settled down enough to actually WANT to go to college, I'm attending a local community college, working on an Information Technology degree (System Analysis) and having the time of my life.
I work full-time for the US Postal Service, in a big mail processing center just south of Tampa Bay, Florida, in the Quality Improvement department. Basically, I track down problems with mail processing equipment, clerk/mailhandler issues with operations, and customer-related issues (problems and complaints). It's one of those bizarro jobs that requires you be a jack of all trades.
Feel free to drop me a line, even if it's just to say "hi." It would be great to hear from folks I went to school with.
Oh... if anybody hears from Mike DeVries, ask him to e-mail me and let me know he's alive. Edwin's wondering how he's doing, too. He was Best Man at our wedding.
If anybody hears anything about upcoming reunions, I'd sure love to hear about it. I didn't see anything about the last one, and thus missed it.

College(s):
Occupation: Electrical Sign Manufacturing
Last Updated: 08/26/2001
What's New?: Well.......... For someone who never entertained the thought of ever leaving Albuquerque, it sure didn't take me long to pick up and move along. I moved to Tucson, AZ in '87 to pursue a career in the restaurant business. I was a franchisee of a regional fast food chain and did that until '92 or so. Tucson has been good to me and my brother, (Mike Chavez, DNHS class of '87). I've been in the electrical sign manufacturing business since '92 and currently work for one of the larger companies in the region. I get to travel because of my position, so that is always an experience. But it's always nice to come home after a long trip.
In 1996, I married Rachel Rodriguez (a Tucson Native), and we had a daughter in 1998. I also have a son who lives with us, he was born in 1992....here in Tucson. His mother is also a DNHS alumni, Sheryl Tsiosdia class of '86.
For the most part, I haven't been in contact with too many of my old high school buddies. If anybody remembers me, feel free to toss an e-mail my way. It sure would be interresting to hear how you guys are doing. Take Care everyone!

What's New?: Hello everyone, After High School I decided to marry my High School sweet hart, Elizabeth Tur. After 9 years of marriage and no children she decided to call it quits and end our marriage that b...I mean we ended it and decide to become friends. Elizabeth has since remarried and I have been lonely ever since. I joined the Navy and after inventing the O-rings to the space shuttle booster rockets and the chief manufacture of the Hubbell telescope lens I was promoted to antimatter propulsion test pilot. I'm scheduled with my copilot "Cheetah for the Mars mission." We are currently the only two pilots in the world training for the Mars mission. I was hoping to make it to our 20 year reunion, however recent events have pushed our mission back by a couple of years. Currently I am sharing a room in Santa Fe with a man named Bubba. I will be allowed to return to Albuquerque and continue my pilot training in February of 2000. Contrary to what any of you have heard in the news, I swear she told me she was 18. Anyway, If any of you care find out more about me, I wold love to hear from any of my old school mates.

What's New?: Most of you probably won't remember me; I was pretty quite during high school. After Del Norte, I went to UNM for a while, then TVI where I received an Associates Degree in Legal Assistant Studies. I hated that so, I am now back in school at UNM, studying to be a Graphic Artist with hopes of combining that with Wedding and Event Planning. I have been married twice. The first was a huge mistake. However, I have been lucky enough to find love the second time around with my husband Mitch. We have no children, at least not of the human kind. Woody, Bandit and Kayla are our babies all the same. I would love to hear from anyone. Mindy Lewis and Layla Langdon, if you are out there, I would love to hear from you.

Married Name: Haymaker
E-Mail: chaymake@bham.wednet.edu
College: Western Washington University
Occupation: Behavior Specialist/Para Educator-- I work with naughty high school kids.
Last Updated: 10/30/1999
What's New?: Just thought I'd drop a line to let those who knew me that I STILL LIVE (it's o.k.-- I would have predicted my early demise too). After high school I tried UNM for awhile, but my lifestyle interfered with my ability to succeed. Soooo... I got myself cleaned up and then joined the Navy-- I wanted to see the world. While in the Navy I saw Florida, Tennessee, and Washington State. Oh well.
In the Navy I met and married my husband and made 2 babies-- both boys. I didn't keep the husband (married for almost 12 years), but the boys are still here. Thomas (a.k.a. Ghandi) is 11, going on 12, and Gavin (a.k.a. Dennis the Menace) is 8, going on 9.
After the Navy, I went to college while doing the mom thing and working part-time. I graduated with a sociology-psychology degree and started working in adolescent mental health. Whew! That brought back some bad memories. So I moved into a combo job that allows me to assist kids one-on-one with academics and with behavior. AND-- I get to take holidays with my kids. I work with the school district up here in Bellingham, Washington. I LOVE my work (though I have to admit I don't enjoy being impoverished).
My future plans are focused around getting my boys through this part of their lives successfully. Once they find me more annoying than comforting, I plan on going on with my education-- some combo of psychology and law. Until then, I'm doing the day to day stuff we're all doing, and thanking God I'm here to do it. Feel free to contact me at this e mail address (I only have e mail at work). Hope any who read this are well.
