Or you may email their info directly to us under "Contact Us" page. You're help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

OUR GOAL IS TO LOCATE EVERY CLASSMATE! PLEASE HELP!

Does anyone know where Mark Tomita is?

Mary Wang Benham

Bridgeen,
I've been looking and I think he is teaching clarinet near Lake Union per my internet researching. Would love to see him too. Still trying to find our missing alum!

Any updates on where the mixer and the BBQ are going to be?

Mary Wang Benham

The Friday night Alumni mixer and the Sunday afternoon family BBQ will be located in the Burien area. Details to follow next month!

Elizabeth Utterback Mitchell

Cool. Thanks Mary - I look forward to the update!

Mary Wang Benham

Any more Alumni out there that have served in the Military? Please send us your info and a pic to recognize you guys!
Thanks!
Mary

Does anyone know where Cam Baxter is? I would love to see him at the reunion!

A couple questions about the reunion...
- "Dressy/Casual" I've been out of the working world for awhile now and my husband and I are sort of a "jeans and t-shirt" kind of people. Are jeans ok for this event or do I need to go shopping? hehe
- Sorry to pester about the details of Friday and Sunday's events but I need to see if I need to set up babysitting for Friday and Saturday and keep our Sunday free.
- We have an 8-week old (she'll be about 3 months by the reunion). We're trying to introduce a bottle so our babysitters can keep her at home but if it doesn't work, can we bring her with us?
- I emailed this question a while ago but didn't get an answer. I have a bunch of photos of the school and of Burien from 1988ish that I took with my little 110 camera. Do you want these? I'm not sure if I can scan them but I can try if that helps.

Mary Wang Benham

The only event that is "family friendly" will be the Sunday BBQ. No children at the Friday night Alumni Mixer or the Saturday "Main Event" please.

For Saturday event, "Dressy/Casual" is NOT our Formal Prom attire, but somewhat "dressed up". We are not stuffy and don't mind jeans, but wanted to have that "special fare flare".

If you have any pics to share you can scan to marybenham@comcast.net or mail original pics to Mary Benham PO BOX 1875 Snoqualmie WA 98065.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Jill Taylor Boyd

Hi,
Here's another question, are spouses welcome at both Friday and Saturday or is one night designated as "classmates" only?
Jill
P.S. Has anyone heard from Shelly Thornton over the years?

Carla Maher Weller

Hey Jill,
Spouses are more than welcome at all events. And for Shelly, Mary and I have been trying to find people under zabasearch.com, and there are a few addresses for a Shelly Thornton in Aberdeen and one in Tacoma. So if anyone knows if these would be correct, it would be great if they could let us know. :) And it's so hard to search for females in our class, since it's more than likely their last name has changed.

Elizabeth Utterback Mitchell

Hey Mary,

Considering it's taken days just to respond to a few emails, I'm thinking that scanning pictures isn't going to happen. I'll be lucky to just get them dug out in time!

I'm not thrilled with mailing them in fear they'll get lost but I think that is my best option. Will you be able to return them to me at the reunion (assuming I get to attend)?

Liz

Mary Wang Benham

Hey Liz!
No worries! If you send them, I can get them back to you. You have a lot on your plate so don't stress over it! Hope it works you can attend!
Thanks!
Mary
