I have been happily married to my beautiful wife Christie now since 1993. We have three gorgeous children who keep us busy! We built our dream home down here in NC in 2005. Nice to live out in the country! I am sorry I missed the reunion; I hope everybody is doing well!

I attended VA Tech for 1 year beginning in the Fall of 1987. I then held a couple of jobs in Chesapeake and joined the Army in Jan. 1989. I spent the next 4 years as a Paratrooper at Ft. Bragg, NC with the 27th Engineer Battalion and was deployed as part of Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. I left the service in Aug. 1992 and moved back to Chesapeake and worked at Kramer Goodyear and Cavalier Ford as a mechanic. After 11 months of going from job to job, I re-enlisted in the Army in July 1993. I spent the next 6 years between Germany and Ft. Hood, Tx. as an Infantryman. While in Germany, I was deployed to Macedonia and Bosnia. I was also a member of the European Rodeo Cowboy Association as a Bareback Rider. I also met my wife in Germany. We were married between deployments on December 18, 1995. We have one son who is 11 years old. In October 1996 we were stationed at Ft. Hood, Tx. where I served until I was medically discharged in Jan. 1999. We currently reside in Flagstaff, Az. and are both employed with the Coconino County Sheriff's Office as Detention Officers. Someplace in the middle of all of this I have also been afforded the opportunity to spend time working an a cattle ranch mending fence and herding an branding cattle. Whew!!! Hopefully there will be many more adventure to come.

Hello classmates! After almost eight years in the Air Force and earning a B.A. in Social Work from Texas Tech and a M.S. in Social Work from the University of Texas, I returned to the east coast in 2001 (having previously lived in Texas, California, and Spain). I now live in the DC area (Rockville, MD) and work for the Food and Drug Administration doing management analysis, research and community outreach. I also met my husband Brent, a molecular geneticist at the US Patent Office, here in DC. We were just married in June and are enjoying time with our friends, family and church (and swing dancing!) before the kids come along. We look forward to seeing everyone at the reunion!

Hi all. I grew up in Deep Creek. I have 3 children ages 9 to 15 and I am very recently divorced after being married for 15 years. I have lived in London England, Kittery Maine, and New Bedford Mass., but I have always found my way back to VA. I live in VA Beach and work for Norfolk Police Department as their Identification & Records Supervisor. I received my AAS f/TCC, my BA f/ST. LEO’S UNIVERSITY, and I am working on my Masters in Public Admin f/TROY UNIVERSITY, a little hard to believe for some, especially since I rarely showed up for High School. But life is good. I look forward to seeing most of you at the reunion, especially to see how we all have changed. It should be fun.

Darren Perry, who has coached defensive backs for the Pittsburgh Steelers since 2003, joins The Oakland Raiders in the same capacity. The 38-year-old Perry, a standout defensive back for Pittsburgh during the 1990s, returned to the Steelers in 2003 as assistant defensive backs coach. He was promoted to defensive backs coach in 2004, where his secondary ranked fourth in the NFL against the pass. Perry was also a part of the 2005 championship coaching staff that won Super Bowl XL. Perry spent the 2002 season as the safeties coach for the Cincinnati Bengals, prior to returning to Pittsburgh. He played seven seasons (1992-98) with the Steelers and started the first 110 games of his career, including the postseason. Perry signed with the San Diego Chargers in 1999 and rounded out his playing career in 2000 with the New Orleans Saints. He played in 139 games total. He started 13 postseason games, including Super Bowl XXX. He had a career total of 35 interceptions. Perry played college football at Penn State where he established several school records, including 299 interception return yards and three interceptions for touchdowns.

Greetings from the Great White North! We're still here in Alaska. No snow yet, but the chill is in the air. I thought that I'd just let everyone know about the new addition to our family. Virginia Reagan Gibbs was born on June 19, 2006. She is our surprise blessing! Sisters Samantha (14), Sabrina (11) and big brother Drew (9) are thrilled. Trey and I are just overjoyed.

I was an honor graduate and very active in school activities which included the Spanish Club and French Club. Turns out, after graduating from ODU w/ my BA in Spanish, I would actually teach it :) I have taught Spanish since 1996 with my first teaching job at Booker T. Washington HS in Norfolk, VA. This was the BEST teacher training I ever received in all the years I have been involved in education. Kudos to Norfolk Public Schools and to Mr. Joel R. Wagner, former Principal.
While at ODU, I pledged Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. and have been an active member holding various offices since 1988. Currently, I am a member of Nu Xi Zeta Chapter in Alexandria, VA , home of the winners of the BET 106 & Park Step Competition.
After my mother passed, I moved to NJ w/ my sister Karen (DCHS c/o '90) & her family and completed my M.Ed. in Adult Education from George Mason University. After about 2.5 years, we all moved from NJ & I returned to VA. I returned to George Mason Univ. to pursue my Doctor of Arts degree in Higher Educ. I have been honored with a fellowship, a scholarship, and awards for academic achievement. I hope to complete my degree by May 2008.
I have been working as an Advisor to the National Pan-Hellenic Council at George Mason University since 2004. For those in the Metro DC area or those who don't mind traveling, our Council is hosting their annual step show on Saturday, April 29, 2006 at the Center for the Arts. Maybe I'll see you there!
While teaching in Washington, DC, I fostered a godmother relationship with one of my former students. Through our on-going godmother-daughter relationship, I was blessed to be introduced to my husband Howard L. Warren, Jr. (Hampton Univ. , c/o '90). We were married on January 14, 2006 and we are awaiting the birth of our daughter Kayla in May. I also have a stepson, Jonathan, who is 2.5 years old.
Our family home is in Upper Marlboro, MD. I hope to see everyone at the 20th year reunion.

I live in Suffolk, VA with my husband, Allen (Oscar Smith '83), and precious daughter, Gabrielle. I practice criminal defense law in the Suffolk Public Defender's Office.
