Comments: Married to Lazara, 3 kids: Jacob, Daniel, (twins, b 1989), and Sarah (b 1991). I belonged to Interact and NHS; took 4 years of French from 'Madamoiselle', which helped me win a year's scholarship in Toulouse, France in 1984-5. Would like to hear from anyone who graduated in the late '70s / early '80s.

We have two children; Dave (DOB 12/11/83) and Joey (DOB 5/21/86). I may be moving to Dunedin in the not too distant future. Everyone have a good time at the reunion."

Comments: "Finally settled down in St. Paul, MN. Married to Emily (since 1992); three children: Rachel (born 1995), Peter (1996), and Maria (1999). I design buildings by day; play catch, change diapers, and read bedtime stories in the evenings. For fun, we ski and sled when it's snowy; we camp, throw flies at trout, and play at the beach during the other two months. Life with small children."

Comments: I met my wife Lynn at UF and have been married nearly 20 years. We have 2 beautiful daughters, Courtney (born in 1990) and Casey (1993). After college, we spent 10 years in Orlando, then 3 years in Tallahassee, 5 years back in Orlando, 2 years in Kansas City, and are coming back to Orlando (for good, I hope!). I will have 20 years with Sprint in October 2005. My daughters are very competitive swimmers, Casey plays soccer, Lynn and I love to workout in the gym, and I run, bike and do triathlons. I'm looking forward to a 25 year reunion (if we have one).
