From Meagan:
After graduating from U. of I. (Champaign), I attended the Indiana University School of Law in Bloomington.  There I met my husband and earned my J.D.  We settled in the Indianapolis area and have been living in Carmel for the past five years.    We have two children:  William, who is almost eight, and Catherine, who is six.  I currently work part time as a lawyer for the Indiana Court of Appeals, which leaves me plenty of time to volunteer at the children's school.  Dave and I enjoy playing with the kids, whacking tennis balls, coaching soccer, boating, and being with family and friends.  We also like eating at Steak 'n Shake, "where Daddy works"  as general counsel.  Although family obligations will likely keep us from the reunion, it looks like it'll be fun.  Best wishes to all.

From Sheri:
Married DGN '88 grad Rob O'Connor in '99, whom I met at work in '96, and had our beautiful daughter MaryGrace-6. Recently made a move to Ameriprise Financial after being with Northwestern Mutual for 5 years.  I am now a Paraplanner for a Financial Advisor in Naperville.  I have been busy studying (and thankfully - passing) the Series 7, so now I am up and running doing the planning and trading for our office.

It's great to read about everyone.  Glad to see so many familiar faces.  It was great to see so many old friends in October.  This time we are keeping in touch...

From Jeff:

Hello Everybody!

I'm doing great! Living in Naperville with my wife Lisa (Bartelt) (Class of '86) and my son Caden...we have a new one coming in November of '07

I graduated from North Central College in Naperville in 1993.

I'm DJ'ing at The Lodge at Four Lakes (The Old Four Lakes Pub) and have managers responsibilities there too.  I've been there 4 years now.  I've been working with all of Chicago's hottest DJ's at my club each week.

I always see familiar faces at The Lodge from Downers North.  If you ever get out for a night you can always ask for me and I'll make sure you are taken care of.  If you are Class of '87 you are family in my eyes.

I have a blast at my job and couldn't think of doing anything else...if you knew me in high school...well...you'd know I'd wind up a DJ.

Can't wait to see everybody.

Jeff

From Suzanne:
Hello everybody!  I can't wait to see you at the reunion.  I can't believe its been 20 years.  

Here's the last 20 years in a nut shell.  After graduation I went to work for various companies.  In 1994 I married a boy I had known since I was 14, Rick Pence.  In 1995 I had our daughter Danielle.  In 1996 we moved to Florida where Rick Jr. was born in 1997.  In 1998 we moved back to Illinois.  February of 2000  my husband Rick passed away.  Since then my time is spent working, raising my children  and working out.

I hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to seeing you at the reunion.
