I migrated to Seattle to get a bachelors in cell and molecular biology/women’s studies at UW, then spent some time in Moscow, Russia working with a gynecological surgeon and in an embryology lab with Russian chick embryos, coached an all-star junior cheerleading squad in Redmond, WA, worked on an organic farm in Wisconsin and then found myself in the North Cascades in piles of snow working as a carpenter the winter before medical school. Now I am starting my residency in pediatric medicine this June at Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle and am crossing my fingers that I’ll get the time off for the reunion! jenniea3@u.washington.edu |

Just about finished at WSU-TC. 3 Kids married for 8years. My oldest, Jessa, is six going on seven, she is really enjoying school. My son, Ethan, is almost 5 and is excited to start Kindergarten this fall. My youngest, Kadie, is 2 and define the terrible two's to a tee. My wife is a KaHS grad from 99, and is my proudest achievement. I don't deserve her, but somehow she makes me feel like I should. That's pretty much it. |

After graduation, I couldn't decide what I wanted to be when I grew up, so I decided to move to Bellingham and go to school to get my cosmetology license. It was there that I met my hubby. We moved back to Tri-Cities where I was a hair stylist for 5 years and he worked for a local home builder. We now live in Yakima where my husband builds new homes and I sell them. Yep- I'm a real estate agent. Never in a million years would I have thought that is what I would end up doing. I have a 3 yr old daughter - Madison, and a 10 month old little boy named Brody. Crazy that it's been 10 years already! |

I wish that was able to say that I graduated from Hanford, unfortunatley, I actually graduated from a high school in Louisiana... Since then, I graduated from Washington State University with a degree in Social Science and minored in criminal justice and psychology. I met my husband Rob, on a blind date in February on 2002, we got married in July of 2005. We purchased a home in West Pasco in 2005 and began building our family, first our dog Chloe, a poodle chihuahua mix and then in October of 2007, we welcomed our first child, Elijah. I am currently employed with Lourdes Counseling Center on the Adult inpatient unit as a Mental Health Counselor. |

I live in Boise and I am happy. I work as an architect, love what I do, but still think about going back to school for I don't know what for, anything to escape impending responsibility? I went to college in Moscow, Idaho and haven't left Idaho since. I have a lot of wonderful friends, I am very active and social, I still drink a lot of coffee. |

I met my wife Krista while we were both up at WSU; we have an energetic toddler, Connor, and a daughter arriving in October. I taught at the University of Idaho while getting my master’s degree. After graduate school, (although we swore we wouldn’t) we moved back to the Tri-Cities to great jobs. I started out as a Communications Director and am now an Administrative Services Director. I’m also president of our regional Public Relations Council. |

Although I moved for our senior year to Utah my heart stayed at Hanford High. I graduated from HS down in Utah and finished my GE's at a university down there as well. Then I moved back to the TC with great persuading from a best friend. Here I met my husband, got married, finished my RN and now have two amzing boys. Aaron's almost 4 and has the most energy you've ever seen. Wyatt's 9 months old and is our mircle boy. We are blessed to have him here with us and our extremely grateful for the NICU team at Kadlec. He would not be here today without them. My husband is a Hanford Fireman and I work as a RN at Kadlec on the Intermediate Floor. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again. |

Wow, my shoulder hurts. I have a kid, her name is Niko and she is totally kick ass. This beer is kinda warm... 12 ounces of ridiculously tasty American pale ale. Over the past ten years I have had about ten different occupations and have lived in about as many houses... maybe more. My dog's breath is awful, like worse than dogbreath, like I think he eats fish or something but I've never caught him in the act. Oh yeah, I am going to school again because I really missed having homework, oh and also because my current job is slowly killing my soul. Oh hey, y'all best be careful or I'm gonna sting you with my stinger. Oh no! But then I's gonna die if I sting you. You know what? I'm not gonna sting y'all after all. And that's my choice. Y'all ain't worth it. |
Sarah Megahed
After graduation I attended Gonzaga University and majored in psychology and elementary education. I had a great experience at Gonzaga working as an RA and fanatically rooting for the men’s basketball team. There I met my husband Mike Martinez. After graduation (from college), I moved to San Diego where I taught 3rd grade English language learners. I earned my masters from the University of San Diego in 2006 and continued to work with English language learners. In 2006, Mike and I left San Diego for Milwaukee. My husband is attending grad school at Marquette, and I have been working as an ESL teacher for the Milwaukee public schools.
This past September we added to our family. I gave birth to twin boys, Sami and Khalil. Parenthood is definitely challenging and amazing. I hope the past 10 years has treated everyone well. I’ll see you in August!

Well I moved up to LA for a few years after college, then got married and moved to Portland with my husband. We have a wonderful 11 month old son, Topher, and now live in Portland. I would love to say I am in the CIA or am secretly one of the Incredibles, but unfortunately I am a CPA, yikes that sounds boring. |

I currently reside in the UK at the moment, but will integrate back into the American society on July 16th of this year. I have traveled many places in search of the answer to the universe, life, and everything as we know it... and amazingly enough the answer really is 42. Huh. Who'dve thought? |

Hey everyone, it's Marge. What have I been up to? hmmm. Where to start.
In 1998 I met Morgan (Riverview High School Alumni) my husband and we married in May of 2000. We have a very unique and interesting love story. I'm a mother of 3 kids now.
Nicholas is our oldest, (7) and in second grade, and we have TWINS, yep... Aurora and Alex (4.5) and in pre-school. Shortly after the birth of the twins, I began to have lots of health problems. I was diagnosed in September 2004, with Wegener's Granulomatosis, w/ Tracheal subglottic stenosis. It's a Vasculitic disease. You'll hear about it at the Reunion. Within the last four years, I've had to undergo many chemotherapy treatments and tracheal dilation/injections to help treat my disease. We travel to UW Medical Center for my treatments and care. In 2002, my oldest boy (Nicholas) was diagnosed with asthma, and in 2005 with Aspergers (spectrum of Autism) and ADHD. My twins have borderline Aspergers and ADD. They undergo occupational and speech therapies to help. We are proudly members of the Autism Society of Washington, Tri-Cities Chapter. My husband currently works for Kadlec and has for the past 6+yrs. I myself have my own, web design company founded in 2005. We recently just bought our first home, in North Richland, and are renovating lots this summer. I have changed tons since high school, and am not physically the person many of you will remember. I however have grown emotionally and learned much from my family and life experiences. I look forward to seeing you all, and getting to re-connect and help give awareness to anyone interested. My family is a family of many specialties, but we've made it this far. Look forward to seeing you all . *HUGS*

I headed off to WSU after college (Go Cougs!) and got my BS in Athletic Medicine, then my MS in Exercise Science and Health promotion. As you may have guessed, I started working in sports right after college. First as a strength and conditioning coach in the Oakland Athletics organization, and then moved up the the beautiful NW to become the Head ATC for the Seattle Sounders pro-soccer team. I had enough of babysitting grown men (seriously), and moved on to working in physical therapy while doing some personal training and sport conditioning work on the side. Now, I am in medical device sales. No kids. No husband. Just living it up over here in good ol' Kirkland, Washington. Well, that's probably all you need/want to know. I can't wait to see everyone! |

Well since graduating High School I have had some interesting times. I enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserves, and left for Boot in Aug of 98. After Boot, Combat Training and my MOS school I joined my unit in Spokane, WA (P Battery 5th Battalion, 14th Marines, 4th MarDiv).
During my time with Papa Battery, I also had a few jobs around the Tri-cities, working for a couple glass companies and then as a Bartender for a while.
In July of 2004 my unit was activated and sent to Iraq. Our normal MOS(job) was Artillery, but we were attached as part of a Provisional Security Battalion for Al Asad. We were in country from Aug. to very late Feb of 05 before returning home. It was definitely an interesting experience and one I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.
I separated from the Corps in June of 05, as a Corporal, and headed back to the Tri-Cities for a bit to save up some money for school. In Jan of 06, I started up ate Eastern Washington University, and am majoring in Criminal Justice.
I currently work for the EWU Police Department, on their Cadet Program. I am not an Officer yet but I hope to be in short time. I just need to finish school first, as I only have about 5 quarters left.
Thats about me in a nutshell since graduation. |

After Hanford I attended the University of Idaho for five and a half years. Then I moved to Bremerton to work for Puget Sound Naval Shipyard to repair and maintain submarines. Wow! Is that all I've done? I'll have to think on my life a bit more before I get to the reunion. Oh yeah! I finally cut my hair! |
Wendy West (Young)
I spent the first two years out of high school at CBC, participating on the womens soccer team. We were state champs sophmore year. I took a one year detour to WSU, time very well spent. Finally I graduated with a BS in Biology from EWU. Despite my husband saying, "Tri Cities is not an option," I live next door to my folks over looking the Richland Airport. Here I am ten years later, with two beautiful children, and a wonderful husband of five years. I can truly say this time has flown. Looking forward to seeing you this summer! |

Graduated from Whitman College in 2002, graduated from Lewis and Clark Law School in 2007. Currently living in Portland, Oregon, but am studying for the Washington bar exam (so I'm not sure where I'll be in a year). Hopefully, by the reunion I'll be a full-fledged attorney. |
