Here are some quick updates from a couple of classmates I haven't heard from since May 1983, Mark Niedermann and Michelle (Irvine) Tomassini. Want to know more? You can catch up with Mark this August at the reunion, and you'll be seeing more of Michelle here in the future. Click those pictures and they'll magically appear larger. June 22, 2008.

Here are a few pictures from the Niedermann house...

The ones of the 1988 Toyota are of something I did with John Czagas back in 1989. I had just gotten married and switched to my wife’s insurance company about three weeks before “the accident.” Thankfully her insurance company did not drop us. Come to think of it, thankfully my wife did not drop me after that one. We’re still together after 19 years.

The other car picture shows my hobby car after seven long years of slow progress in my garage. Some things never change. I am still a motorhead.

The last picture shows the family.

Thanks for all the work you guys have done toward the reunion. I am looking forward to seeing everyone.

Here are photos of myself from 2005, my husband James, and my two cats, Miss Kitty
and Lieutenant Starbuck.

Here is a bit of an update on what I have done since high school. I graduated from Florida Institute of Technology on August 22, 1987 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering. I worked odd jobs while in college, then moved to Arlington, Virginia and worked for the Patent and Trademark Office and for Litman Law Office. In 1994, I moved with my now husband to Greenbrier, Arkansas and from there we moved to Waxahachie, Texas, and then to Duncanville, Texas. I stopped working altogether in 1999 because of my disabling chronic illnesses.

I have a son, born June 27, 1988 and adopted by my father in March 1991, and a daughter, born June 7, 1993 and adopted in early 2001. My son gave me a granddaughter in October 2006 and will give me another grandchild around October 2008. James and I were married on December 14, 1996 and have lived in Little Rock, Arkansas since September 1999.
