Then & Now

I may get in trouble for posting this, but ...

I can't resist. :)

1989:



2006:

Tom W.

Heard back from Tom! He's in London working at Deutsche Bank. Apparently he is married with child; can't say that I know much more than that for the time being. I'm waiting to hear back from my British correspondents.

Also, Jen is helping with the hunt for Pete; we've got a couple of so-so leads already. [Unlike myself, however, Jen actually has a life and a real job, so if any dirty work needs to be done, I'll volunteer to take it upon my own emaciated shoulders.] [And oh yes, that's right ... sometimes "dirty work" needs to be done.]

Jen H.!

OK ... I am on a roll!! - Jen H. was the hardest to find so far, but she is found and is livin' la vida loca in L.A., apparently not too far from where Jenny C. lives (depending on traffic!) ... it's amazing they haven't bumped into each other yet, given that there are only 20 million people there.

The phone number and address in the 'yearbook' are long defunct, and I'd given up hope (something I do fairly commonly) until it occurred to me that maybe I should look for a "Jenny," not a "Jen" - since the yearbook has her as Jenny.

This led to a listing at a "Whitney High School" in Cerritos, CA for a Jenny H. who went there in the late 80's. (I'm trying not to put full names on the blog since that might be a lead for other stalkers ... only I'm allowed to stalk!!).

She hasn't told me the gossipy stuff about her life yet (oh I know it's there), but she's living and working in West LA near UCLA. She may also have some idea about where Tom is ...

Jen - welcome to the CCSC 1989 blog!!

Is this thing on?

Now we know it's an Internet blog because there's pictures of people's dogs and stuff all over it:

This is Brownie the dog, our puppy since 1997 when we moved to Brooklyn. He's a German Shepherd/Chow Chow mix, now 12 years old, who's completely neurotic and totally food motivated. He's also exactly as adorable as he looks unless he's getting into fights with other dogs or small children. My wife Frances and I figured we'd try the dog first to make sure we could handle kids.

9 years later, we're still making sure. It never hurts to be too sure.

For pictures of the wife, you can visit the honeymoon photos page from long, long ago (1998) when we were both a non-trivial number of pounds lighter. There may also be photos coming soon from our trip to China in January, if I can manage to get off my ass to edit them and get them into Flickr.

Other than that, we're attempting to be homeowners in Princeton Junction, NJ. I just got back in from changing the oil in the snowblower and filling her up with gas. I feel Manly (tm) now. >grunt< >belch<

Great to hear from the CCSC crowd again. Maybe technology will make it easier for us to stay in touch better now.

Jenny C.

Just spoke to Jenny C. - she's a lawyer now in LA, and guess what?

She ALSO just had her first child in 2005, a boy!

That makes SIX Feng Chia babies in 2005, all SIX of them boys, five of them first children!

What are the chances of THAT happening??!

Seriously - a couple dozen 15-18 year olds together at a camp, and then 16 years later five of them have their first kids, all of them boys? (And all named Emilio? That's the weirdest part.)

Anyhow, I didn't find the following until after speaking to her, but here's Jenny's law firm:

If you click around a bit, you can find her in the "attorneys" section, under her married name.

Anyways, I've sent her the blog invite, so Jenny if you're reading this, hope to see you on the blog soon! :)

Ed!

I've found Ed!

Hmm, he might know something about computers:

Also check out: Honeymoon photos, plus guitar tabs and lyrics he's posted.

And some reviews he's written on Amazon, and stuff he's selling on eBay ...

Damn, I'm good. :)

I'll call him later today ...

Cathy

Armed with Viv's architecture tip and a little too much time on my hands, ...

Here's Cathy:

Her company: http://www.cmcwdesign.com/

Her TV show: http://www.tv.com/cat-wei/person/286200/appearances.html

Hobnobbing with the (probably) rich and (not quite) famous: http://dmiphoto.com/browse.php?id=30824023&subject=Cat+Wei

Always knew, though, that she'd she'd be involved in the glamorous world of art & fashion somehow!!

I'll call her tomorrow. She'll likely be creeped out by the above ...

Wish me luck.

Let's find ...

I'm having trouble locating:

Ed
Betty
Cathy
Pete
Tom
Jenny C.
Jen H.

That's just off the top of my head ... the numbers in the 'yearbook' don't work anymore.

Anyone have any ideas on where to start looking?

(Maybe they're all living together in one apartment somewhere ... it's a possibility)
