!Sorry Jerrit, I don't go that way. the life of a long haul trucker don't allow for visiting and such.Trust in the Lord and he'll always keep you company or talk to spiders, like in Charlotte's web. Some pig! ha-ha. Me and my dogs Filmore and Wieners, travel the country hauling lettuce and grapes to you the consumer.
Filmore is named for our own President Millard Filmore a hated man in a hate-filled time for our country. Wieners likes them Vienna sausages, thus the name.
Just hairy Hone here!!! Sherry and I moved back to Boise 4 years ago, have a great job, 2 kids, 3rd on the way, and am president of the community service group the Capitol Jaycees. Life is treating me well, and I really need to work on the ol' golf game!
Hello everyone from Portland I hope everyone is doing well. I am looking for some help. I recently lost a friend in an accident and I am looking for a poem that was in one of our english textbooks. I believe it was Sister Lillian's freshmen class. It was by Edna St.Vincent Mallay and it was about the loss of someone by no fault of their own. I have looked everywhere and I can not find it...please help. After a few stumbles and falls I have landed on my feet as always and things are going well.
I don't have any of my Sister Lillian books (sigh) but there is a wonderful and sad poem by Edna St. Vincent Milay called "Interim" which deals with death.
St. Joes reunion in May. I think Don Curtis is planning some kind of 1985-1988 reunion next year with Julianne Russell.
You in touch with any folks from our class? Sherry and I married last year and have a baby due in May.
Our message board looks lame compared to 1987 or 1985, but maybe we're the strong, silent type o' class.
Mike thank you for you concern and responding it means a great deal to me. I regret not keeping closer contact with the people I shared so much time with. Reguarding Dave I do not know but maybe David Barutia and him are somewhere together. When is the renunion at St. Joes? I still have a basketball team warmup jacket I need to return.
Jim...St. Joe's reunion is May 5th. It's actually a 100 year celebration. I had dinner with Sr. Genevra last week. She says she will most likely fly into town for the event. You wouldn't still have a copy of our poster would you?
I need everyone's contact information (including e-mails please). I am trying to refresh our class list as we might try to have a 15 year (ughhh) get-together next summer. My sister Julianne has been trying to get us involved in a combined reunion for quite some time. Since Holly and Troy moved to Eastern WA, I agreed to maintain the contact list here in Boise.
Any thoughts on combining efforts with '87 and/or '88?
Don, I do have a poster of the power house team that was the 1982-83 St. Joe's Braves. As a special bonus a piccture of the lovely St. Joe's Braves Cheerleaders are pictured,all 25 of them. If I remember right we won one regular season game but poured it on at the Hallisey to get like 4th or 5th place. If you like to view the poster I'm sure I could take to the hall of fame people about gettting you a peek.
Evelyn Orr told me about this board, and I thought I might say a quick Hi.
Harrington - saw yours and Sherry's wedding announcement in the paper. Very nice! Congrats on the upcoming baby. Got to thinking about the old drama days and had a quick flashback to the time you put on a fake goatee and did a sterling impression of Mr. Hoffman stroking his chin.....By the way, I think I have his phone number in Alaska and I bet he'd love to hear from the vortex people if anyone's interested. Anyway, say hi to Sherry.
Jim - sorry to hear about your loss. I'd like to hear the poem, if you find it. It sounds like a good one.
Don - Hey! I see your mom every once in a while at nursing functions. She fills me in on the short version of how you're doing. How's your life treating you?
Hone - I didn't know you were leading the Jaycees! Right on. I went on the crosswalk. What a herd of people!
Hi to everyone else who posted, and Alaina - if you're in here, what's going on??? Still in CA, huh? How's the family?
hi, everybody. i am guessing the hoffmans have left alaska, since emails to them have bounced back, but i imagine with all this talking about mark hoffman, he's bound to find his way to this board sooner or later.
speaking of drama, i'll be in town in july for my class reunion, and i had a crazy idea that it would be fun to get together with anyone who's interested in singing songs from some of the musicals. i know piano parts for most of joseph, godspell, and pippin, plus others like jesus christ superstar. would anyone be interested?
Hi all! I'm in San Diego enjoying the sunny weather and enjoying my 2 year old daughter, Noelle (most of the time!). We are expecting our second child in September. (Congratulations Sherry and Mike on the new addition to your family!
I have been checking this board since my sister told me about it last month. I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing well! Take care!
HI EVERYONE! JUST THOUGHT I BETTER SAY HI AND THAT I AM DOING GOOD. I AM MARRIED AND HAVE 2 BOYS 3 AND 5. WE ARE MOVING TO THE MOUNTAINS TO "GET OUT OF TOWN", BUT I WILL STILL BE WORKING IN MERIDIAN. IT'S GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU GUYS, SORRY WE LOST TOUCH. SEE YOU SOON. DAVE CRONIN
I'M RAISING TWO WONDERFUL GIRLS, 7 & 10, HERE IN BOISE. LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME SOME VALUABLE LESSONS LATELY. FRIENDSHIPS DON'T HAPPEN OVER NIGHT. I APOLOGIZE TO ALL OF YOU I NEGLECTED TO TALK TO AT OUR 10 YEAR REUNION. RECENTLY BECOMING A SINGLE PARENT RAISING TWO GIRLS HAS MADE ME REALIZE MANY THINGS. LIFE IS GOOD AND IT'S TIME TO START LIVING IT AGAIN. SO IF YOUR OUT THIS WAY LOOK ME UP. I NEVER SEEM TO STRAY TO FAR.
Hi everyone. It's nice to see so many e-mails, even if it isn't as much as the other classes - to much to do and too little time to keep up with everyone, I guess. Don, I about a combined reunion, if we do go ahead with it, I helped Holly out on the 10 year with Shawne McCrae-Stinson. I can't speak for Shawne, but I would be willing to help out if need be.
Sounds like everyone's life is going well. Congratulations to everyone on all the big things that are happening in their lives and condolences to those who have suffered losses. I hope that everyone is doing well now, either way.
Class of 86, Hello! It sure is nice hearing from all of you! Thanks for taking the time out of you busy schedules to write. I think it would be great if we had a combined reunion. Let me know if it is in the works!
Hello class of 1986, It's nice to see what everyone's doing. We've settled in Las Vegas for the time being. Jahna and I have started an engineering company down here and enjoy working together. Our son Quinn is 20 months and we've just got news of our second. I look back fondly on all the good times and hope to stay in touch more in the future.
Good luck with your move Jerrit. Steve Hammon: call me with your number and plan a trip to Vegas.
I am also interested in a combined renuin if there is anything I can do please let me know. Well it appears as though the wind that has been under my wings has finally let up and I have landed in Portland and things are looking good. I am working on a web page a I will let you all know when it is done. Boy if Mrs. Nuse could see me now!!! :)
Hello to everyone! I am one of the people who has been horrible about keeping contact with my fellow graduates. In 1987, I decided to spend a year in New York. I have lived here ever since. I am now married with a 13 month old son. I would love to hear from old friends to catch up!!
Lisa Achabal Norton told me to check this out and also about the 15 year reunion. I think it sounds great, especially since I wasn't able to come to the last one. Maybe one suggestion is not to have it on a holiday weekend, if at all possible.
How are things in Boise? I haven't talked to you in years since we were in both in Seattle. I remember running into Mike at a bar. Matt and I are now in Denver with his job with our 3 year old Lucas and another on the way in Nov. Still miss Seattle and all the water, but my goal is to one day be back there.
what is the interest in a mini-multi-class reunion at this year's BK homecoming? classes 85,86,87,88 or more? Don, Maybe you can ask your sister if '87 is interested? Brush with Greatness: Saw George Michel at Walgreen's
How's it going? Are you back in Boise now? I still remember turning around in Seattle and there you were at the Pheonix Underground!
Unfortunately, I couldn't make the mini reunion this year due to the fact I may be giving birth again, . But it sounds like it would be fun. Hopefully, something still would be planned for next year since I wasn't able to attend the 10 year. Take care!
PS I can't believe you still have the St. Joseph's poster with the cheeleaders. Boy that brought up memories!
Living La vida Local here in Boise(actually Meridian). Sherry Morgan and Moved to Boise in 1997, after I met Sherry Morgan at our 10th reunion. We got married in May of 99, so Troy and Holly no longer have the lock on the high school romance thing. Sherry has a daughter Allison(11) and we just had a little boy,Jake,in May. I'm the Procurement Manager at a small electronics mfg'er and Sherry is an attorney for the county. You guys need to move back and start up another Grandpa Mayers! Get the word out to other 86'ers to get their info to Don C. for a 15th year reunion next summer!
Jean Young and I (and entourages) are thinking of coming back to the US from London, UK, for the reunion next year and are trying to plan around work, spouses, kids, etc. What dates are likely/possible at this stage? When is homecoming? We will fly via Seattle (where my parents and brother live), and it would be good to catch up with any Seattlites there before or after the reunion, too.
I would really love to see you all and catch up. Anyone planning to travel to or through the UK should get in touch.
Mike & Sherry - congratulations to you and Allison on little Jake. Well done! I had my twins - Oliver & Elliott - last month. Hard work with a toddler at the same time (Alex), but lovely.
I heard that we might be having a 15 year class reunion. Keep me posted on the progress as I was one that was unable to make it to the 10 year. Let's try and not have it over a holiday weekend.
I am currently living in Hailey working for Marketron.
How the heck are you? I lost track of you since we saw eachother last in Seattle. What have you been up to in the last few years? Email me if you get a chance. matt_ledet@hotmail.com
I just got a nice e-mail from Kevin and I thought I would share it with all of you.
Soccer season has started, and for those who have lost touch with Kev. He is the womens soccer coach for Cal. Berkley. They are off to a 3-0 start this season and just defeated the #15 ranked school in the country 15-0. Really 15-0!
If you follow soccer at all, look for his team to do very well this season.
Of course, I will not hear from Kevin until after x-mas (soccer season= GOD).
Hello everyone! We just found out about this board and thought we would check it out. We would love to come to Boise for a 15 yr reuion. DOn, I will e-mail you our updated info. asap. I also have some things left over form the 10 yr so let me know what I can do to help! Mike & Sherry a be-lated congratulations on the new addition. Sam and Kathleen it was great to here from you to on the board. And Lisa it does not seem like we should be having a 15 yr reunion already but time flys. I got a letter from Shawne the other day and she would like to help too. She is having a baby pretty soon but I know she was interested. Troy and I are doing well in the small town of Colville, WA. WE have 2 girls 3 and 6 and are enjoying the great outdoors up North. Hope to see you all soon. Take care. Holly & Troy
It was great seeing your message. It sounds like you are doing well. Todd and I keep in touch quite often which is nice. Do like WA or would you rather be in Boise? I am enjoying Denver, but I will say I miss the Seattle area. I have a hard time being away from the water, but we'll see where we are in the future. Looking forward to seeing you all next summer. Tell Shawne I said hi as well. We are also due with our second one Nov. 1. Sam
I sent an email to the web manager asking if there is a problem with this site. Hard to believe that there have been no posts since September of 2000. Life is good. I moved to Kirkland, Washington in February of 2000. I work for Analog Devices and travel quite a bit. 15 years this May! Unbelievable - so many of you with complete families; I have not yet started. Really hope that we have a 15 year reunion - would love to see you all again. Please keep in touch and are all welcome guests at my home when you are in the area. Best always, Jeritt
Hey, everyone, hope all is well. Don, It was so nice to see you last summer after so many years. You haven't changed a bit. I hope all is well for you. Sorry I haven't visited this page lately. I know I promised you I would when I saw you at Jaialdi and I didn't want to fall down on my word, even if it took several months for me to come through. Well, anytime you need to reach me, you can e-mail me at mlbntn@ktvb.net. I'm living in Eagle and working in Boise with no plans of leaving, so that e-mail should work for a while. I'm surprised by the interest in a 15-year reunion - I think it would be a grand time and am willing to help as much as I can, just let me know what you need help with. (Forgive me, Holly, I know what you went though with the last one. This time you can come and enjoy and not worry about the work!)
Shawne, if you ever get a chance to get out here and visit this site, I'd like to get together with you and have lunch sometime. I miss seeing you and keeping up on how things are going.
Troy and Holly - I hope things are going well with you guys, too. How are the girls? I hope that maybe we can see one another in April when you're here.
Hey, Sam! You know how much I miss seeing you and yours. You guys be well and maybe we can hook up soon again. Bo had a blast and misses Lucas.
Everyone else be safe and well also. Maybe we'll all be able to see eachother at the 15 year reunion!
Don, You got to start this reunion ball a rolling. Do we have addresses? maybe a questionnaire should be mailed out to see who might be interested in coming and what they'd like to do for the reunion(picnic? how many days? dance? break dancing?). A tie in to river festival might be nice for folks coming in from out of town. Although I understand Keith Hoene's mime troupe will be performing at the festival and might prevent him from attending our reunion.
Both Sherry and I would be willing to help. Think of us as the Troy and Holly of the new millenium.
It is good to see some new messages. I sent an email to Don and apparently the 15 year reunion is on and we should hear more about it soon. He said Julianne was working hard on it. I plan on coming so it will be great to see everyone after 15 years.
Lisa it was great seeing you over XMAS. I don't really get to Boise much so we had a nice visit with friends and family. Lucas had a blast with Bo and now Caleb is 3 months, where does the time go?
Hello class of '86 - I thought I would let you know what has been slated already - we had to get a date set - and the best (read:least expensive) option for a Saturday night dinner was the Basque Center. It also worked out very well for the '87 ten year - so it seemed a logical choice. The date is August 18th (That is what was open) Anyway - we do have a problem. Don and I have received many quotes from caterers - and the very best option we have will put the price tag at $40-$50 per person. Now this would include a short appetizer time, dinner, dancing, beer and wine - plus all the costs associated with mailing out the invites, etc. Are you '86ers willing to pay that? Does it sound ridiculous? Don and I really don't want to put any more time into this if people say "Let's just meet at Julia Davis" So - what do you all think? Feel free to e-mail either me or Don with your thoughts. Should we move forward - or is this too cost prohibitive? Thanks! I hope to see you all in August! Julianne
Hey fellow "thirty somethings" (ouch) I had a great time reading about what all of you are doing. I'm in Boise and it's fun to occasionally run into many of you. I have 3 great kids, and am married to Christi, (Yes, the same girl from the reunion) I'm still with the family biz in charge of Sales & Marketing.
Jerritt- I'm in Seattle monthly. I have a new rep in the area, lets hook up the next time I'm up there.
Has anyone seen or heard from any of the following: Chad D? Dennis S? J.D.? Russ B? Mag? Tony A? ( I'm making the assumption that since I'm still alive after my early 20's they must be!)
Now, some of my favorite things I remember from my years at B.K.:
1) "Hopin for it!" 2) sang-froid 3) "The Tail End" 4) "Ms. Braden, John Farted!" Eric Mag to Ms. Braden in typing, 1985 5) "Mr. Ketlinski, what do you have for me today?" Fr. D in Latin before I gave him his daily Butterfinger 6) Mike Harrington painting a guy's fingernails who was passed out on my parents couch at a party, then spilling the polish on the couch! Hey Mike, Ty & Kelly have that couch now, ask them about it!
Does anyone play in the Fr. Russell scramble from the class of 86? I played last year and didn't see anyone.
Just happened to stumble across this board. It is great to here from everyone. I am living in Kennewick WA with my wife Melissa and son Christopher who is 3 yrs old. We have been here for about 10 yrs, and don't plan on leaving anytime soon. I am working for Pacific Northwest National Laboratory as a research scientist and have a real good time.
A 15 year reunion sound great, my family will be there.
Todd, It will be great to see you. See your folks at St. Mark's. The Hoene's little girl and our little boy(jake) will be in the same class( bk 2017?) Eric and Jenny Helegeson have a little girl the same age too. The heritage of H names continues.
Todd K, Did I really paint someone's finger nails? Was it done tastefully? hopefully in a Miami Vice shade of pastel? Sorry about the couch. I think I might have spilled some on my" Member's Only" jacket as well. Long live the Eighties!
I will plan to be in Boise, then, on the 18th of August - should be a good time.
Todd K. - fire me an email when you are coming to town.
I'm headed to Ireland again in June - this time I'll tack Sweden and Estonia at the end. Not much to compare against all of you with families and kids, but travel keeps me from being saturnine.
OK - we HOPE to have invites out within a week. But - just in case... here are the details August 17 - Family get together at Sunset PArk (Off 32nd) Bring your own everything. Obviously- kids are included in this get together August 18- 11:00 am - dedication of Driscoll/Dooley Track and Field out at BK 6:00 pm (or so) Dinner /dance at Basque Center. Beer and Wine should be included if we can work it into the price August 19 - 10:00 am -mass and continental breakfast (donuts/coffee) out at BK followed by a tour of all the new facilities for anyone interested. Fr. Reggie Wilson will be doing the honors. All this for only $50 a person? Wow what a deal! See you there!
I'm getting ready to mail off the invitations to the 15 year party in August. Many of you have updated me with your addresses, but just in case, send me your address and phone number. The list we have is 5 years old, and I'm certain some things have changed.
Thanks to Julianne for all of her hard work in getting this party with 1987 organized. It should be a lot of fun.
Since my last post, I lost my job, got a better job at HP, and got another kid, and a raise. My summer is very busy with the Junior Chamber of Commerce where this year I am the Crabby Ol' Bastard, affectionately known as the COB. We are just out to save the world and help a few kids at the same time. Sherry is still a stay-at-home mom with my oldest (of 3) just turned 6! She does sell Pampered Chef for all you cooks out there.
The August reunion will be my first since I missed the 10th, sounds like it'll be a real HOOT!!!
Just a note...we have received such a dismal response to the reunion flyers that we will probably need to cancel on July 25th (unless we receive 50 more yes RSVP's). If you haven't sent in a form but want to attend, send me an e-mail immediately. The big issue is we have a $1000+ non-refundable deposit to pay the caterer, and it's a bit risky with only about 10 people saying they will attend. Feel free to call me as well if it's easier...208-387-0741.
Hey class, hope everyone is doing well. I'm living in Scottsdale, Arizona. Don or Mike I won't be able to attend this year, sorry about that. My email address is custer_matt@yahoo.com. let me know how the reunion goes send me some pictures via email.
Don, I didn't get any of the reunion flyer information. Maybe I didn't get my address in any of the previous postings. Right now, I don't know that we could attend everything that is planned, but we would like to particpiate in what we can. You can reach me by e-mail at mlbntn@ktvb.net, by phone at (208) 938-2273, or at 1407 W. Kenai Ct., Eagle, Idaho 83616. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
Well how the hell is everybody? I am sorry I have been out of touch with most of you through the years. I often think about the "old days". It is thanks to people like you Don, Mike and you too Juliane, that people like me can have the opportunity to find, converse and hopefully see all you guys (and gals)after so many years. I graduated, went on a Magnuson internal voyage, moved to SLC,Ut., got married, had four children (actually we were lucky enough to get one of the four...a long story I'll tell you all later, we lost three to natural causes)and now my wife Wendy, my daughter Megan Catherine and I are living back here in Meridian. We bought a house her about 4.5 yeas ago and are doing well. It was so sweet to go through the past posts that are on this site as well as a few of the other classes. I look forward to seeing each and every one of you soon. Again. thank you Sherry and Mike. Especially you Shery, since I was not all together last time we saw each other. All and every please feel free to contact me via e-mail or by phone at any time. I hope to be at the August reunion, I will keep you all posted. If I don't make the "planned" events, I will still be in town and hopefully can catch up with as many of you as possible. This is my first post so I will try to keep it in-between. Best to all and God bless-MAG
Too bad the Basque center deal didn't work out. It might be just as well with all the pressure for everyone to Jota. Thanks to Don and Julianne for your efforts. Whoever is interested Let's plan on still meeting Friday night the 17th at Municipal(for directions e-mail me). Folks can picnic or forage from the many onsite dumpsters. I've heard from Todd Halter, and the mighty Hoene, they are coming. Lisa it sounds like you might be interested too. In addition,I understand, Jerritt will be there and will perform the entire "prince under the cherry moon,soundtrack" so that should be a treat. If enough folks want to come we can get a keg or plan to go out the next night. Just like in the olden days. Kind of a last minute, low key deal. MAG YOU HAD BETTER BE THERE! I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!!! So,pass it on to other 86'ers and the class of 87,or least tell Matt , he'll let everyone else know in his "special" way. ;^) -Mike
Several of us are planning on getting together on the 17th. I'm easy as to what park. Sunset is off 32nd in the North end and Municipal is off Warm Springs on Walnut.
those who are interested in coming on the 17th( about 10-15 so far) e-mail at mharrington@eccolink.com and we can decide as to what park will work best. Again this will be a picnic (bring your own whatever)pretty casual, if folks would like to go out the next night we could decide at the picnic. I think too any other classes beside 86 and 87 1985,1988,etc...are welcome. E-mail me.
If we were English people from Shakespeare's time we wouldn't be having all this trouble getting a reunion together. (Or so Dr. Michel might say...) I vote for Sunset Park.
True. Shakespearean England never experienced the planning difficulties that we as modern Americans have, these problems could be attributed to the break down of Christian values,high protein diet,Frank Stallone,menthos and a general lack of Kelly pride.
Unfortunately, we have had to cancel the Saturday dinner as everyone may have figured from this stream of messages. The class of '87 still wants to have the picnic on Friday at Sunset Park, and they would welcome the participation of '86 or any other interested classes. Looks like Mike is doing a good job getting folks interested in this plan and possibly an informal night out on the 18th.
As far as a bigger celebration is concerned...we'll focus on the 20 year reunion in 2006. Hopefully the picnic plan will come together well as it would be great to see everyone and their families there!!
Just a quick note- Judy Kroos was truly looking forward to seeing both classes at Sunset park - so if you would like to catch up on Judy and "The Old Toad" - Sunset Park will have to do. :) Julianne
I am so bummed I am going to miss the picnic. I was looking forward to seeing so many people. Maybe we can get together next time I am in Boise (which is rare, infortunately).
Mags, it was great to see your note. I emailed but never heardback from you. How is Wendy and Megan? Email me if you get a chance. If you are ever in the Denver area look us up or dad in the San Juans. He'd love it. He tried to get a hold of you last year in Boise, but no luck.
I'm going to be in Vancouver, BC on business on the 17th - wouldn't be able to get to Boise until later that night, although I will look into it. Count me in on the help crew for the 20 year reunion. Mike, after my Under the Cherry Moon act - was wondering if you could perform some Garrison Keillor monologues and maybe John Bunch can show us all how to make Smores!
Jeritt - Am I the only one who doesn't know why you went to San Quentin ? At first I thought it was one of those silly gags you used to play on me. Glad to hear that you are at Analog. Congratulations.
Karla - Glad you are doing well. Wish I could see you at the 15 year reunion but my family is having a reunion of their own for that week in SE Oregon.
Jim - I couldn't find that poem on the web. I hope you got a copy to help you through losing someone. Glad to see you like Portland. Jenny and I lived there for 4 months and really loved it.
Christine Mack - You always were a year older mentally than your class. (^:
Chris Peck - Thanks for the info about Kevin Boyd and his soccer team. It made me smile. (^:
Thank you alumknights for putting this message board up! ***cheers
Hi everyone, We're going to miss the party this time but we are coming to Boise over Labor Day weekend to celebrate my grandma's 80th birthday. I'll be the frazzled, grumpy woman at Boise Municipal Airport with two children in tow. Have fun!
Greetings to everyone from the class of 1986. I have just read through the postings here and it has made me misty eyed and nostalgic (well, not really but I am trying). I am pleased to see that most everyone is doing well and that so many families are blossoming or have blossomed. I must admit that a part of me is slightly concerned that the kids I knew from back then are procreating...but then I remember that we are not kids anymore. We are adults trying to make our way in the world with who we were back then somewhere deep inside. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to interact with people from high school in the business world. Would we see each other for who we are now or who we were then?
It is interesting to me how people still feel connected to BK, despite our travels and many paths that have taken us far away from Boise (Stephanie Hays, I see you and Madonnna have made the same ex-pat lifestyle choice. I was in London last July, I would have looked you up had I known how to... I can always use some good verbal abuse which you were quite adept at back then ) To me, my time at Bishop Kelly seems like someone else’s life. My memories are dim, perhaps purposefully so. What I do recall does not always seem like my own memories but more like things that someone told me and now I can’t remember if I actually lived them. I wonder if anyone else feels that way?
I was not planning on attending the 15 year reunion. I told Don that I have my sights set on the 50 year in 2036. That one will be very interesting—who’s still alive?
As for me, I have spent the last 15 years wandering a bit. I went off to school at the U. Of Minnesota and other than brief stints in Boise (I worked for the Boise Hawks for a time) and California, I have lived in Minneapolis ever since. Currently, I live in a warehouse space just a stone’s throw from the Mississippi river in downtown Minneapolis. I work at American Express (Financial Advisors division), also in downtown Minneapolis in business-side internet development. I have not been as privileged as many of you to find a person to share my life with and start a family, but I am still hopeful that will come with time.
Sheesh. I have rambled on long enough. Good luck and best wishes to all of you.
Mark et al., Apologies for any verbal abuse and other bad behaviour you may have suffered on my part all those years ago! That isn't part of my selective memory of my BK years... Anyway, I will now think of you, Mark, whenever I use my Amex. And I'll introduce you to Madonna next time you're in London.
Eric, I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your children. But pleased to hear about Megan and the rest of your news. I'm glad things are going well for you.
Jon, Nice to hear from you.
Best wishes to everyone going (or not) to the picnic, etc., this weekend. (And thanks to Don & Julianne.) I wish I could be there, but we just couldn't make it over this week. (I know the same applies to Jean Young & her family.) I hope any of you who come to London will look me up. My next trip to the States is to NYC in November. Anyone who is going to be there the week of the 12th who's free for dinner one evening let me know!
Finally, as a justification for writing this at the office, is there anyone out there who is part of the Pearson or Bertlesmann empires? Anyone in publishing/media at all? Or who writes? I'm a publisher at DK (part of Penguin) + would love to make use of any BK talent...
As everyone now knows, we are not having the dinner on Saturday night, but we plan to still have a picnic in Sunset Park on Friday night. Anyone who wants to plan a Saturday evening out can do so at the park, or call me Saturday morning to find out what's going on. My number is 387-0741, and I'm in the book. Also, Fr. Wilson will still be saying Mass for us on Sunday morning at BK. Mass starts at 10AM, and everyone should feel free to bring families. Don't hesitate to call me if you have any questions.
Stephanie, "behavior "? c'mon!!! I think you're taking the ex-pat thing too seriously! What's next flavour? honour? schedule( pronounced shed-u-all). Let's hope that's the only English habit you've picked up( warm beer and poor dental hygiene don't suit you). ;^)
Shape up or we'll send Dubya back for a visit! -Enjoying my pork rinds and pepsi here in the colonies Mike
How did the picnic go and who showed up? I am looking forward to the 20th since I haven't been to any so far.
Alaina, how do you like San Diego? What part are you in? I was at USD for a while and then ended up in the Bay area in Marin County. We are in S. Ca every year to see family and visit San Diego. It is a pretty area.
Hi All! I decided to post a message instead of being an e-mail stalker. It sure was good to see all those who were able to make it to the reunion.
Patty....you look great as a blond. Sorry your visit was so short and my weekend was so busy.
Todd....Your wife is gorgeous and your son(is it Christopher?) is addorable. Good taste in choice of friends too. My Jacob thought he was pretty cool.
Speaking of the name Jacob...is there anyone from BK that did not name their son Jacob? My son could not figure out how everyone at the picnic knew his name.
Kim...tell your husband Todd that he can have his signs back.
Christine....I truly envy you. You are incredible. I barely have time to fix my children balony sandwiches and you brought everything but the kitchen sink to wash your wine glasses in.
A big thanks to Don, Julianne and Mike for making this happen.
As for the rest of you out there, I hope all is well.
Been thinking (as well as all of you) on our terrorist action against our country. Just wanted to say, God bless to all, and if we let our faith help us, we will find comfort is this horrible disaster. Take Care Matt
Here it is summer and I procrastinated for half a year. I was curious if anyone went to the winter olympics in SLC ? What were your thoughts on it and what did you get to see while there ?
I didn't get to go because we were saving up money for a house which we bought last month. We have had such good luck with our house so far. Our next door neighbors has both a big and a tiny dog that were gold and silver medalists for loud barking! So as luck would have it, my neighbor has decided to move to Puerto Rico! What luck! We shall see if our new neighbors have loud dogs or not I suppose. Does anyone else own their own home ? It has changed me.
Hey everyone. Is this message board still up and running? It's been far too long, but I figured I would drop a line and let folks know I'm around. So great to read through all the postings in this list - and to hear what many of you are up to. Looking forward to 2006, since I've missed every reunion thus far. Don? Steve? Who's in charge of planning that one? More later, -David
My wife writes rock reviews for several magazines and is doing a story on Gen X tastes then and now. Responses to the following questions would be appreciated. 1. What were your high school years? 2. What were your 3-5 favorite albums when you were in high school? 3. What were your two favorite bands/artists when you were in high school? 4. What are your 3-5 favorite records of all time (these can be the same as your answers to question 2)? 5. What is last record you've purchased? 6. Do you have own a record which was released in the last two years? This is an informal survey and no names will be used in the article. Please feel free to contact me at ptrapp03@comcast.net for info/questions. Thank you and Go Knights!
I am looking for the last few members of the class of '84 who we have not been able to track down for our 20 year reunion. If you know where these people might be hiding, please let them know we are looking for them. They can contact me at clduffy@pacific.net.sg.
Thanks for your help, Colleen

What is wrong with this class? Are we just too busy to share our lives with each other? Are we just so over high school that we don't care to inquire anymore? So lame to see nothing posted for so long....Is anyone out there?
I guess we are lame. Sort of like not posting your name lame. ;-)
Sherry and I have three kids now and one due in Sept. We live in Meridian and yes Boise has changed but not too much . So it would still be a great place to visit for the class of 1986's 20 year reunion.
Hey we have a reunion next year and it would be fun to see folks. 1985 has a nifty website. What are folks thoughts on a reunion. It would be great to see all you knights abroad back for the 20 year. what kind of reunion should it be? Summer? Fall? dinner/dance? picnic? both. George Michel as guest speaker? Let's plan it together. sammah68@msn.com is our home e-mail.
It's good to see that we are starting to talk about this 20 year reunion. I emailed Don last week to see what's up. I missed our 10 year and look forward to making the 20 year. I think summer is good. Then I can bring the family and have a visit with family and friends in Boise. Fall is hard with school, sports, etc.
Matt and I are back in the Seattle area with our 3 boys after living in Denver for 4 years. It's good to be back near WATER, although Colo. is a nice place with great weather.
Mike, Di said she saw you at Dave's funeral. He was such a great guy and so nice. It is was sad to hear the news.
Dave how are you? We never did get together for that drink. Are you still in Seattle?
We are looking for these people: Jim Adlard, Jon Areitio, Lori Boyce, Camille Elliott, Joe Fitzpatrick, Kim Hauge, Kate Hilbert, Monica Hoene, Mike Hoffman, Tania Hunt, Kristen Keller, Mike Knapp, Kim Kolchaver, Julie Larkin, Larry Larscheid, Damon Lewis, Charles Marsh, Angelia Martin, Craig McCurry, Dom McDaid, Kristen Moore, Laurie O'Brien, Kevin O'Sullivan, Dan Palmer, Brian Rodenspiel, Dan Simon, Kristine Sinclair, Christine Singer, Dan Sprague, Jeff Sprute, Stan Stallcop, Jef Villeneuve, John Wood. If you have any information, please post it or e-mail to David Carnahan at dcarnahan@powereng.com
I'm planning to come over from London in August 06 (my 3 boys are in school through July over here), so I'm REALLY hoping that the reunion will be in August...
Jean Young and her family will be coming over from Germany at the same time (she's got the same issues re-kids in school). Virgil Adams and his family are planning to fly in from Japan to join us.
So, that's 3 votes for August. Have any plans been made? Let me know what I can do to help.
Hi Stephanie, Good to hear from you! Yes we are having a reunion. No we haven't set a date. Yes you can help!
I think August is a great time and I think we should schedule to allow the maximum amount of attendees. We have discussed a day raft trip,picnic, something for the kids park,etc.. and some sort of dance /evening event. A Thurs-Sat type of deal? Maybe a good first step would be for you to get feedback from Jeannie ,Virgil,and other Knights abroad on what dates would work for them as you will be making the biggest trek.
I've copied some class of 1986'ers on this e-mail in hopes that you get the word out as I'm sure each of us knows at least where a couple of our fellow Alumni are. This should be fun. Find folks,find out dates that will work and give feedback on what you'd like to do. Let's get contact numbers and addresses so we can send a letter out. I'd be happy to coordinate but Sherry is expecting anyday now so I might be a little tied up in the short run.
Time to put this website to use again. Spread the word...our 20th reunion will be held in the summer of 2006. A planning committee is organizing for those that live in the Boise area. We need updated e-mails and mailing addresses for everyone as well as any suggestions for dates, activities, etc. You can send addresses to me at don.curtis@hp.com
I'm sorry to say that Nick Peterson passed away a couple of days ago. He was in a fatal motorcyclce accident here in the Boise area. please keep him and his family in your prayers. I have not heard anything as far as the service yet.
Hello all, Here is the info regarding the Tree Planting and Jersey Retirement that is planned for Dave Handley this Friday (Oct 21) We will be planting the tree at BK at 6:15. You should not have any probem finding us. I am told the Handleys have picked a spot along the road that leads from the front parking lot back to the football field. After the tree planting will be kickoff at 7:00. During half time of the game will be a ceremony marking the retirement of Dave's jersey. Once this is completed - anyone who is interested can gather at the Crescent (No Lawyers!) Bar and Grill. One extra thought - as a way for each person to participate in the tree ceremony and honor the place that Dave held in our lives- bring a short length of ribbon that will be tied around the trunk of the tree once we have planted it. No color restrictions - a rainbow of colors seems most appropriate. There will be extra ribbon available if you forget. Thanks for coming to remember Dave and support the Handley family - Julianne
Looking forward to the reunion next year. August is great for me. We are planning another trip around then so if a date is close to being set let me know.
Eric, Diana (Sale) told me about Nick which is sad. She just emailed me pictures of everyone getting together to remember him. It was also hard to hear about Dave. We are having lunch with Anna LaRocco in Seattle next month. Haven't seen her in 19 years. How's the family doing?
The class of 1986 is planning its 20th reunion for the weekend of 8-04-06 to 8-06-06. details will be coming and can be found on http://bkclassof86.org later this month or by contacting Don Curtis- don_curtis2@hp.com or Mike Harrington mikeh@pro-team.com
This Saturday night is the (k)night to feather your hair and grab your best members only jacket and let's all help Jeritt burn the mother down !! Get your BK freak on! Looks like we are going to have almost 50 classmates and would like to see more. So if you know any last minute additions email the Hoene and come. Saturday night is the only "official" event but we are having an unofficial get together at the Basque center Friday night at 7pm and maybe a Saturday afternoon park gathering. We also have Sunday mass(11am) with Fr. Pat at BK with tours to follow at noon. email me, Don or the mighty Hoene with any questions.
Looking forward to a Knight to Remember(heavy sigh),
Hey everyone, just wanted to say that it was great to see everyone. Hope everyone got home safely. Looking forward to seeing all of you again. Please come by the Gamekeeper and say hi. Take care all
Agreed! Had a blast! Nice to see you all! Sorry I missed the Sunday Mass and tour! I was a bit 'tired' the next morning. Guess I am not as young as I used to be......
Tired?? Don't listen to her, we felt like crap!! But at least we felt like crap together! Hahaha! It was great to see everyone! We had a lot of fun.....too much apparently.... (-: Best of luck to everyone.
Hello class of 86 sorry I missed the party but was stuck working and hope that next time we have a get together I can be there. You all take care and be good.
If anybody knows Todd Ketlinski's phone # or email address please send it to me since I have lost track of him and many of my 86 classmates. I live in southern california with my wife and kids and would love to hear from you all. Take care
It has been great to catch up with so many of you from high school on facebook. If I haven't caught up with you, hit me up on facebook with the user name "Cris Sarni".
I haven't been back to Boise for years unfortunately. I live in Southern California in the Long Beach area and am now an elementary school teacher for special needs students. I look forward to the next reunion. I was unable to come to the 20th.
