| Neil Kelleher | Position: Interocean American Shipping/ Master/ Deep Sea Shi |
| Gig Harbor, WA Contact Me updated 3/27/2008 | I suppose that after 25 years it is time to contact the class!
I'm currently sailing as Master on board the Car Carrier, M/V Honor, in the US/Middle East Service. I've been here for 2 1/2 years after sailing as Chief Mate to Alaska and the Middle East for quite a number of years, and a stint as Director of Marine Operations for a passenger ship company, all following active duty USN time and work in ferries and small passenger ships, and deep sea Ro-Ro experience--not to mention a trick as CO at KP for a bit.
I had the pleasure of being in Kuwait off-loading cargo on the day of the (current) invasion, living in anti-chemical suits for 3 days, 13 SCUD alets--watching the helo's launch from the carriers via RADAR on their way to the beach. The ship I was on, Northern Lights, was awarded the Admiral of the Ocean Sea Award for 2003.
Carol, originally from Gig Harbor, WA, and a former Cruise Director, and I have been married for almost 19 years and have 3 boys--14, 11, and 3 and have been enjoying life in the Pacific Northwest when not away.
"For fun," I've been observing and training with the SE Alaska Pilots during vacations--which keeps me busy.
It is amazing the people who you meet in Kuwait! I was surprised to host our classmate Capt. Scott O'Connor as US Navy Pilot while docking in Kuwait. (Our photo made the Kings Pointer last year.) Also, Bruce Cummings '80 (RC) has piloted a few times as well.
I don't know if I'll make the 25th, but I wish all well to all.

| Bill Kraynik | Position: NAVSEA PHILADELPHIA, Project Engineer |
Contact Me updated 3/25/2005 | It is hard to believe 20 years has gone by already, I think Plebe Year felt longer. The good part is that I now have 20 years of Government service to my credit, working in Philadelphia, and you know how they awarded me for all those years, they moved me into a new section with a new Supervisor (who acts like a drill instructor and has a funny first name) - Bumper Kunkle. Even worse, our Branch Head is this over-demanding, slave driver - Tom Bodman. If I was not married to my wonderful wife Dorothy and did not have two precious little gems (John, 8 and Amanda, 5), I would even consider going back to sailing on that old Lykes Lines, turtle, bull and grain hauling, Merchant that was my first sea year ship to Africa, that only carried food for half the trip. Actually, the post-graduation years have been great. I cannot seem to remember too much about things that happened beyond 11 years ago, but that is when I met my wife and she ruined, I mean, changed my lifestyle. There seems to be a lot of names missing from the list of people attending, I will try to touch base with anyone I have phone numbers for and see if they plan to attend. -see photo below-

| 11821 Pirates Roost Rd, Monticello, In 47960 Contact Me updated 4/2/2005 | Gotta love that song! Nice website, many thanks to whoever put it together. Started laughing when the song played and my youngest (Audrey 10) wanted to know what was so funny! Needless to say it brought back many memories. Micki and I have now been married for 17 years. Two daughters, Rachel 14 soon to be 15 and Audrey 10. Just sold our home that we built in 1990 and am slowly migrating to our lake property in Indiana. Will reside in Illinois for another year and then officially make it so. Things are well and we cannot complain. We were planning on attending but NIPSCO, local power company at the lake decided to lower the lake for repairs on the hydros for the dam - needless to say it is an opportunity to clean the waterfront without the water. Happens once every 10 years. Have a great time and we will catch you on the rebound.

| Maureen McKeever | Position: EchoStar /DISH Network - Training Supervisor |
Contact Me updated 3/25/2005 | It was great seeing so many of you at the Reunion last week! I am in Pittsburgh, single, working hard in a Customer Service Center for DISH Network (if you still have cable, try a DISH!).
As for my life since KP, I worked in the Deans Office for 8 months after graduation, got an MBA from Pitt, taught Nautical Science at Texas Maritime in Galveston for 3 years (including sailing on their 1944 Training Ship the Texas Clipper), then sailed as 3/M for Keystone for about a year on crude oil tankers. I moved back to Pittsburgh in 1990, worked in retail for a bit, then got a job with DISH Network 5 years ago (just after the last reunion). For the first time I can say "I love my job"! Hectic, always changing, but the best people to work with. Now I have to work on my life outside of work....

Great seeing everyone at the reunion. Wish I could have spent more time talking to all. Good to see Kent will be joining the married(ie poor) ranks. Happily married for 18 years to Elaine. Three great kids Jack(14),Molly(13) and Harry(12). First season not coaching a soccer team in six years gives me way too much time to get in trouble. Hopefully basketball season will rescue my liver.
I travel a lot so now I can call classmates when I travel to go out to dinner. Always looking to design and build new equipment for Navy and Power industry(ok thats enough sales stuff). Still not sure what I want to do when I grow up. Any ideas?

| Goshen, NY Contact Me updated 6/26/2007 | Moved to Goshen after 14 years on the Northern Colorado Front Range. Aside from the blue sky, cool clouds, ever-changing weather, great people, funky architecture, great beer, laid-back attitude, fantastic motorcycling and bicycling roads, lack of bugs and humidity, fun racetracks, great medical care, and incredible scenic beauty, the place really sucked. I'm glad to be back east. At least we have lightning bugs. |

| E. Mark Simmons | Position: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center, Sr. Tech Architect |
| Tampa, FL Contact Me updated 3/25/2005 | After traveling as a network consultant specializing in Citrix for the last three years I have settled-in at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center as the Sr. Citrix Architect. In a nutshell this means I am a server geek. Maybe I will finally stay with the same job for awile. Since graduation I have been on active duty navy, sailed on my license (upgraded to 1st A/E, since expired), worked as a port engineer, worked at the Kennedy Space Center in shuttle support, and owned and operated a business.
The kids are grown now. My son Travis is in the Navy as a newly-frocked E5 Aviation Electrician, and my daughter is a junior in college studying for the Batchelors in Nursing. My wife, Lois, is still tolerating me after 22 years.

| Joe Walsh | Position: Keesal, Young & Logan Attorney |
| Santa Ana, CA Contact Me updated 12/28/2006 | Still living in Southern California. I am still practicing Maritime and Environmental Law with Keesal, Young & Logan where I have been since '89. Got picked up for Captain by the NR but now expect to move to the IRR this year in anticipation of slowly slide towards retirement status. Ran into Ian McIntyre when I was drilling in Ft. Worth. He came in as the Center CO just before I transferred back to LA. Amazingly, Ann has put up with me, the Navy, my law practice, Scouts etc all of these years. She and I recently celebrated our 21st anniversary.
Our house in Santa Ana is undergoing a major remodel which we started in November when we moved out into a nearby rental. We hope the house will be completed by December 2007.
We (still) have two sons, Tres (17) and Ryan (15) both attending St. John Bosco in Bellflower. Tres will graduate this year and expects to start college at the University of Advancing Technologies in Tempe, AZ. He is a self proclaimed computer geek and rarely sees the sun. We can't help to wonder how he will do in AZ. Ryan started HS this year and made the frosh football team playing DE.
I am still in touch with or manage to exchange an e-mail from time to time with: John Kimmerlien (who works in our firm's Seattle office), Del and Jackie Lewis, Sean and Terry Connaughton, Mark Coynes, George Toma, Rich Boudiette, Rex and Kim Gundle, Dan and Carrie Rohde. Del recently re-established contact with Scott and Mary McCauley who are now back in Australia. Drop me a line if you find yourself at the bottom of the left coast!
