Brakey, Rob

I got such a kick finding this website and reading up on everyone! I hope you all are healthy and happy, I'd love to hear from you sometime. Let's see, after graduating from Union, I went to the University of Texas at Austin and graduated from their film school in 1992. That November, I moved to Los Angeles and started my career as an editor on feature films, which I'm still doing and enjoying. If you want to see what I've been working on, my resume is at http://home.comcast.net/~rbrakey. If you can believe it, I started dating Alyssa Boots in 2000 and we were married on August 31, 2003. We're expecting our first child in February 2006 and we're both very excited about it! Currently we live in Venice, California, and we ride our bikes on the beach a lot.

Trumpet; marching and jazz band. French horn; symphonic band. Mellophone; marching band

I'm studying music now at CSU-Pueblo. I am on scholarship plaing French Horn, I'm also playing Jazz guitar, I'm in the choir, and I'm learning Piano. Music is so much fun, I can't beleive they're actually paying me to have this
much fun. I have been married to my lovely wife Anna since March 19, 2006. We are expecting our first child
just before Christmas this year. We are very excited to meet Kason Robert Cole. Other than that, I have been
playing weekly for the Praise team at Rocky Mountain Family Church (rmfchurch.com) and I was just recently
employed as a security officer. Well that's all the news I have right now, so I hope all of you are doing good.
I'll check back in soon.

Conrad-Baker, Joy
Drum Major

I finally got married to my high school sweetheart, Brad Baker, on May 14, 2004. After 6 1/2 years we finally made it official. I just graduated with my MBA from OSU and got a job in Tulsa as an operations analyst. Its a challenging job but I love it because I am able to use my engineering undergraduate education with general business. For those of you who know Brad, he is about to finish his certified flight instructor rating so he will be able to teach people how to fly soon. After he does that for a few years to build up his hours, he will move on to become a commercial pilot (airlines or corporate). However, his dream is to fly war birds so hopefully he can do that someday in Tulsa. We have gone through a lot in the past two months with graduating, moving, getting married, and starting new jobs but I love it. I have recently talked to a few people who graduated in 1998...Nicole Salamon and Stephanie Hobbs both got married in May as well. Nicole is living in Conneticut and Stephanie is in Tulsa. Well, keep in touch!

July 2006 - Things are going well in the Baker household. We bought our first house in November and couldn't be happier. I am still working as an business analyst and Brad is a flight instructor at Riverside. Nothing much more to report.

Iverson-Knott , Michelle
Front Ensemble

Well, I changed jobs in June, so I thought I should update. I'm now working at my church, Kirk of the Hills. I am the liaison for our financial assistance program and
I provide support for the business manager, music director, event coordinator and one of the pastors. Keeps me pretty busy, but I love it.

Still living with Lindsay Crochet, which means that nobody has managed to get a ring on my finger yet. I also still hang out with Jacquelyn and Michael Steele. Besides work,
I spend my time in a small group Bible study with a few other 20-somethings, leading a 10th grade girls Bible study and I just joined a gym. Of course, I still spend time reading and working on various artsy projects and watching movies, too. God has blessed me abundantly.

I got married August 5, 2006 to Jonathan Knott, a kicker for the footbal team, graduated in 99. We live in BA and
are expecting our first child in March.

I'm still working at my church, but I've changed positions. I'm now the missions assistant.

Monn, Rachel
Clarinet

In the summer of 2004 I graduated from OSU with a MA in English (with a specialization in TESOL - Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Since then I have been teaching at Shantou University in SE China. Shantou is in Guangdong province, near the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau. Teaching abroad has been a rewarding experience for many reasons. One of the smaller perks has been having time to explore China and SE Asia. This winter holiday I am going to spend some time traveling in both China (Xian, Shanghai, Hong Kong) and Thailand. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying life.

I returned home from China in summer of 2006. Living abroad was a wonderful experience and I do have plans to return in the future. For now, I am living and working in Pasadena, California. I teach English/ ESL at two area colleges and look forward to beginning school again (for a second MA) in the near future.

Flute/Piccolo

I did not realize that it has been almost a year since I updated this bio. I was excited to hear about the retirement party/reunion for Mr. Barnett in May. I was planning to attend, but a death in the family prevented me from going. I was really bummed that I didnât get to go. I heard it was a blast.

My husband and I are having lots of fun here in Red Raider Country. We were planning on moving to the Denton or DFW area in January or February when Cory finished his Masters degree, but he ran into an awesome opportunity to be an administrator for a home health agency here in Lubbock. We are extremely happy here, but we would like to be a little close to our families. Tulsa is 8 hours from here and his parents are 4 hours from here. As far as my work goes, I have gone back to doing relief work for United because I like the variety of floating. I got tired of being in the same place all the time.

The only exciting thing that I have to tell is that I just got back from 2 weeks in Uruguay. I went horseback riding up the coast of Uruguay, all the way to Brazil with Boojum Expeditions, an adventure travel company. It was the best vacation I have ever had. My only regret is that I left my husband at home. I went on this trip with my friend Dena from Tulsa. I knew this vacation would be incredible, but I had no idea how fabulous the people of Uruguay are and how much their country has to offer. I highly recommend the Uruguay Trip through Boojum.

Merry Christmas!!

Hmmm... let's see... when we last left off I was just moving into a new house, yada yada. I now have a 7 month old lil baby girl named Ellee, and she's the cutest baby on earth. Ever. No, seriously. Ever.

Career wise: I'm a producer/designer/art director, doing motion and broadcast design for national networks (mtv, hbo, espn, abc, time warner, etc), film titles, etc. I also still do audio production and interactive/web work as well. Hope everyone is doing well...
