I would love to hear from you all, so email me.

10 years has gone by so fast!! So many great things have happened to me and I am truly blessed. I'm married to Steve Palmer of NY and we have two little boys, Tyler and Cameron. I received a degree in theatre from Radford University. Currently I live in Southern Maryland where I'm teaching Kindergarten. I look forward to hearing from old classmates!!
Lisa Kelley Palmer

I can't believe it has been 10 years already. It feels like we just graduated a couple of years ago. I am currently married to Lamont Holland and we have no children. I am working for Sentara Nursing Center in Portsmouth as the Business Office Manager. I can't wait until the reunion, I am looking forward to seeing everyone.
Jenita Tucker Holland

Hello all! I am still living in Northern Virginia with my husband, son and two dogs. I am currently a full-time mom, taking care of my son, Michael Joseph (born Aug. 14, 2007)...he is my pride and joy! I am really looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion and hope to reconnect with some before then."
Erica (Rath) Sevilla

Hello class of 1998 Alum, Ten Years is along time but it goes by pretty fast. After we graduated I spent two years at ODU before joining the United States Air Force. I worked in the Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Weapons field and was deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan before joining the USAF Reserves in 2006. During my time on active duty, I graduated with a B.A. in Criminal Justice from Saint Leo University, an MBA and an M.S. in Criminal Incident Management. I am currently still an active reservist and just returned from a deployment to South America working with the DEA. In my civilian life, I spent a year and a half as a Federal Probation Officer but now I currently work as a Emergency Management Analyst for the United States Senate.
Rodney "Mookie" Jones

I hope to find everyone in good health and spirit. After high school, I attended and graduated from Norfolk State University with a B.S. in Biology. I married Ryan Williams (Phoenix, Arizona) in June of 2004 and we welcomed our first child, Ryana Leshay, into the world on March 21, 2007. We reside in Chesapeake, VA. and I am currently employed as a science teacher in Suffolk, VA. My goodness...I can't believe it has been almost 10 years since graduation. My lil' sister graduates in '08, so I know I am officially OLD!!!!
Nikkia Skyles-Williams

I currently live in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, but I still work in Virginia at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. I live alone with my dog and have been dating my girlfriend Alicia for a while now. Nothing else new is really going on, just the same old thing.
Kevin Kretzer

Hello all! Since high school, I've received an English (Journalism/PR) degree from ODU. In '99 I had a baby girl named Alyssa Jeanette who's now a 7-year old Queen B. :-) In 2003, I married Marcus Watson (from GA) and the three of us live in Churchland where we bought our first home last year. I'm presently a Realtor with Realty World Hampton Roads where I received the 2006 Rookie of the Year award. My husband works for J.B. Hunt as a regional relocation driver. I miss you all and I pray that you all are happy, blessed and prosperous. I'm really looking forward to seeing you at the reunion. God Bless!!
Jacqueline Harper Watson

I have been working at Norfolk Naval Ship Yard for about 6 months as a marine electrician. It is a great job and I enjoy every minute of it. I am also still working at 88.7, WFOS on Sundays from Noon till 4 doing my radio show. As a hobby I also bring bands to town and do sound at local clubs. Hannah is working at Hancock Fabrics part time and taking care of the kids. Zoe is almost 5 and will start kindergarten in September. Dexter is 3 and looks like he's about 5 and gets into everything. I guess payback is here for me. Looking forward to the reunion. Time is flying!
T.J. Thompson

I am still living in Blacksburg where I've been since graduating. I guess I like being here too much to leave. And now I have an added member to my family! I just had a baby boy, Sean Tiernan, born on January 31 (of 2007). I can't believe 10 years has almost passed us all by... I can't wait to get back in touch with so many of you!
