State/Prov.:IL Occupation:Stay at home mom Marital Status:Married No. of Children:1 Share a bit about yourself (family, hobbies, career, etc.):After graduating, I traveled around Europe for a couple of months. I was hooked, when I returned I attended COD for Travel and Tourism. I did go to school on and off for a number of years and received my Associate Degree, but I always went back to the Travel industry. I then lived in the city for the next 13 years, working as a Corporate Travel Agent / Meeting Planner for a large consulting firm. I met my husband at work, He's from the U.K (Liverpool)and I couldn't understand a word of what he was saying. I ended up sending Dean to the wrong destination and 10 years later the rest is history. We moved back to Downers Grove almost 5 years ago ( I still can't believe that I actually live in the suburbs!!), and ironically enough I live right down the street from North. We have 1 amazing son named Spencer who is 2, 3 cats and an almost 20 yr old niece that lives with us on college breaks. I've decided to stay home with Spence and it has been the most amazing (and humbling) journey so far. I'm at a great place and I absolutely love my life...I'm still not sure how long this city girl is going to make it in the burbs..but I'll try. LOL!! I can't wait to reconnect with everyone this September. 20 years, I still can't believe it!!

State/Prov.:IL Occupation:Architect Marital Status:Married No. of Children:3 Share a bit about yourself (family, hobbies, career, etc.):All is well here. I have an amazingly wonderful wife and 3 beautiful kids that are the best part of everyday. I work for an architecture firm in Chicago. We lived on the north side of Chicago for many years but now happily call the north side of DG home again. It's fun running into fellow classmates around town, at Jewel or on Metra (I'm the commuter sleeping straight up in his chair -- learned that in high school.) Looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion. Rock on.

State/Prov.:AZ Occupation:Publishing/Media Sales Marital Status:Married No. of Children:1 Share a bit about yourself (family, hobbies, career, etc.):After graduating from ISU I spent some time in the Chicagoland area. I have been out west in Arizona for the last 10 years. This is where I met my fantastic wife and recently had our first child. I have been working at internet start ups and in the publishing/media business for the last 15 years. When I'm not traveling for work I'm enjoying staying home and being a dad. I don't think we will be able to make it back for the reunion, but we're in Chicago often and still see many high school friends for golf trips, etc...

I went back to school about a year and a half ago to get my degree in business, but have found a real love for law and may pursue that further. I was recently addicted to the Twilight book series and my favorite band for the past 20 years has been the BoDeans.
