Dan Baldwin
[Phoenix, AZ]
|
After
high school I joined the Air Force. There I worked on multiple types of
airplane
computers, I spent most of my military career in Lakenheath England.
After
the military thing, I worked for a Japanese company in Tokyo which
eventually
led me to Boston, MA. I consulted with every major high tech company
there
and now I'm working for an EDA vendor in Phoenix, AZ as a Technical
Lead
in sales. I have 1 son and he will be graduating NHS this May. I've
traveled
the world but I come back to Norman for family visits on a semi-regular
basis.
I would love to relive my last 20 years over and over again, it's been
way
to much fun. I look forward to seeing some familiar faces next year. If
you
knew me in HS please feel free to contact me. My memory hasn't been
that
great but it comes back with the right words.

Jamie (Baldwin) Pettey
[Ft. Supply, OK] |
Seems like a
life-time since 1986...but a good one. I was married for 10 years and
had one son as a result. He's 11 1/2 yrs. (JT). I raised my now
ex-husbands two oldest kids, who are now 17yrs (Erica), and
19yrs. (Broderick) who is finishing up his freshman year in college.
(YIKES!!!) I spent 9 years in college. Owned a successful business for
5 years. In 2002 I got a divorce, and started all over at age 35. I
moved to NW OK, and got re-married. My husband is a Fire Chief, and
works for DOC. We have a daughter (Alexis) who is now 2 years, and a
recent new addition, (Stetson) who was born on May 19th 2005. I am
working for DOC, as a drug/alcohol counselor for RID corps. in NW OK! I
LOVE MY JOB! I get to deal with some of the juvenile delinquents of
Oklahoma! We are very proud and blessed with the little ones, and have
a wonderful family. Can't wait for the reunion to see everyone.

Allison
Barnes
[Chicago, IL] |
I work in Chicago at an
advertising
agency on clients as fun as Sharp Aquos televisions (wish I had one)
and
on clients as boring as Dow Chemicals.
On a more personal note, I have become addicted to travel, both for
work
and for pleasure. My favorite trips include Costa Rica, Hawaii, and
Hong
Kong.
Most surprising fact for those who remember me: I graduated from Second
City's Improv Training Program. Not surprising: I was definitely the
straight
man surrounded by great comics!

I
graduated from OU with a degree in Sonography in 1992. I met my
wonderful husband while doing a clinical rotation at the VA Hospital in
OKC. I got married in 1993 to John Lockhart (class of 1981) and am VERY
happy with our lives together. We have lived and worked in OK, CO, NC,
and TX.
I currently do Adult Echocardiography at a hospital in Richardson, TX
and my husband does Pediatric and Fetal Echocardiography at Medical
City in Dallas. We currently have no children due to infertility issues
but still have faith that something good will happen soon. We do have 2
sweet dogs (they are my babies for now).
UPDATE: Our prayers were answered. I gave birth to 2
beautiful baby girls on Dec. 11th, 2005. Their names are Caroline
and Megan. I'll try to post pics soon. One looks like John
and one looks like me. :)

free
time I've done a lot of remodeling/selling of old houses and love it.
Never
been married, but was engaged for quite a while. I live by myself in an
old
renovated house and enjoy life as much as possible! (Even with gray

After
graduating from OU with an accounting degree I married my best friend.
Rick
and I soon moved to Tulsa where I got my CPA and have worked as an
accountant
for almost 15 years. We have two beautiful girls, Maegan (11) and
Madeline

Financial
Reporting. We still live in the Tulsa area (Owasso) and spend most of
our
time keeping up with our girls in their school activities, soccer,
dance
and golf. I'm also busy volunteering in various church activities.
Between
visiting family and enjoying OU sports, we usually travel to Norman
about
once a month. The 10 year reunion was great! I hope to see everyone
next
year!

I have been married
since June of 1988, and I am married to Steve Robertson from San
Clemente, CA. We lived in San Clemente for the first 6 years of
our marriage, and then I talked him into moving to Norman. We have a
crazy life in Norman with 4 kids and they range in age from 7 to 15.
There are two boys and two girls (boy 15, girl 12, boy 8, girl 7).They
are involved in tons of activities, it is so fun, and I love being a
wife and mother. All the kids are in school full time, so I went back
to school, too. I am finishing my BSN/RN at OU College of Nursing. My
plans are to finish my BSN/RN in May 2007 and then my Masters in
Nursing (NP) or CRNA and finish in May 2009.

I
have
been married for five years with no kids. We live in Santa Monica,
California
which is terrific (much better than Manhattan where we lived
previously).
Since high school I've also lived in Austin, Dallas, Menlo Park, and
San
Francisco. For the last ten years, I have worked in the venture capital
industry,
and just a few months ago I started a new venture/private equity firm
--
very exciting and a little scary!
Look forward to seeing everyone next year.

Lovin'
Life! Married Lancia in 1993. She is an RN and the best lifemate
one
could ask for. We have three children. Darcy 9, Jill 7, and Zane 3.
After
HS I worked my way through college until I got that little piece of
paper.
Since then the US Postal Service and the State Department of Education
have
paid the bills. For the last 5 years I have been blessed to serve at
CrossPointe
Church as the pastor of adults and administration. It is a blast
ministering
in Norman and having the opportunity to be a part of a great work with
many
of you. (I still can't believe they pay me to have this much fun!) See
ya
in '06.

After high school I got my
accounting degree from OU and then got married and went to work in the
OKC area as an accountant. (Now how many people can top THAT kind of
excitement?!)
I am currently employed as the Controller for Braum's. My husband
(Gregg) works at OU. We have been married almost 15 years. Wow! Can
that be possible!? We have no children and no pets - which I think
probably simplifies life a great deal. :)
I look am looking forward to reconnecting with some old friends and
acquaintances at the reunion.

I graduated in 1990 from
Oklahoma
Baptist University with a major in Public Relations/Communications and
married
Chris Stull the next week. We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1991 to
direct
Arizona's Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Since then we've been
having
babies and remodeling homes! We have four boys - Dillon ('94), Derek
('95),
Caleb ('98), Micah ('00). Then we had our little surprise baby girl,
Karis
Joy ('02). The last 8 years Chris served on staff as a pastor at the
North Phoenix Baptist Church, and in August of 2004 we moved just north
of Dallas
where Chris is serving as the Executive Pastor at First Baptist Church
of
McKinney. I spend most of my time keeping up with the kids, but do a
few other
things on the side: teach summer drawing lessons for children,
professional
home organizing, and speak for women's retreats and conferences.
Spring
of 2007, New Hope Publishers is planning to release the practical
living book
I've recently written for mothers, called "Coach Mom: 7 Strategies for
Organizing Your Family into an All-Star Team". We are enjoying
being
close to our parents, and Trent and
Tamara's
families.

I graduated from Oklahoma
Baptist University in 1990 with a BA in Art, minor in Spanish. Met my
husband Don there and got married. Don was a youth pastor
for a couple of years. I had a calligraphy business for several years,
then worked as Secretary to the Director at Petroleum and Geological
Engineering at OU while Don got his MBA there. We moved to Plano, TX in
1994. I briefly worked at an animal hospital as a receptionist (fun
job) before we started having kids. Don worked for Texas Instruments
and then InFocus Systems through 1998. He was a pastor on
staff at Fellowship Bible Church North in Plano for 8 years. In January
2006 Don started a consulting business, idynamx. Their
specialty is bringing insight to team building and leadership
development - and boy, are they good! (idynamx.com) We
have four kids: Megan('95), Kate('97), Jacqueline('00) and
Ethan('03)...and three dogs and four birds. Whew! I have
enjoyed painting murals and teaching art lessons for kids over the
years and I homeschooled our two oldest kids in their early
grades. That was a neat experience. I enjoy time
with our family, photography, volunteering with agencies like Meals on
Wheels, and working out. We relocated to Norman in August
'06 for Don's work. It's fun being back!

a previous relationship. Together we have a busy family.
From

Joy (Brock) Link
[Tulsa, OK]

I went to OSU in the fall of
'86, met a great guy my junior year named Josh Link. Graduated with a
degree in elem educ in '90. Moved to Arlington,TX. Married
Josh on January 5 '91. It was the worst icestorm in Norman's
history and most of the highways were closed, needless to say it made a
rainy wedding day seem glorious. The day after our wedding my dad
suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and we spent our honeymoon in the
Baptist Hospital hotel (that was interesting). My dad is still living
thanks to my devoted mom and some amazing physicians, however he is
quite disabled and no longer walks. I taught for a couple of
years in Arlington (5th & 6th) and Nashville,TN (4th). We moved
back to Tulsa in '93 and eventually I ended up in pharmaceutical sales
with AstraZeneca. Now I'm a stay-at-home mom with 4 amazing kids
(Carter-10, Audrey-9, Asher-5, and Caroline-3) and a new Westie puppy
named Millie. I stay busy volunteering as art coordinator at the
kid's school, playing tennis, gardening, and reading which is very
seldom as there are rarely any quiet moments with 4 kids. We are
active at First United Methodist Church, entertain a lot and enjoy a
little travel. We had a bit of a rocky start with some rough
spots along the way but it's been an
amazing journey. Missed the 10 can't believe it's the 20.
Look forward to seeing everyone and a huge thank you to everyone
involved in coordinating the reunion.

After high school I went to
first William Woods College in Fulton, Mo then came back to Norman and
attended O.U. for 6 years, completed my masters degree there. Not much
has changed since highschool-never married, no kids. I have been with
my best friend, Mike for three years I feel silly calling him my
"boyfriend" since I'm almost 40 years old! ha! He is in the NAVY,
the last in my tour of dating various branches of military guys - what
is up with that? Maybe it is the uniforms? We have one daughter, Snugs,
well ... she is actually a "rotten" weiler dog, but she's our baby and
we spoil her rotten. This is a great website! Hope to see all you guys

After
HS I attended the Univ. of Oklahoma. In 1991 I became a Private
Investigator/PS
for a firm in Norman. In 1999 a professional tragedy caused me to
re-evaluate
my career choice. I am now happier and feel like I’m doing something
positive.
Oh…During that time I spent my nights playing drums, both locally and
nationally,
for my band. Check us out: http://members.cox.net/theyoungguns/
I didn’t attend the 10 year reunion (I was a little bummed that it had
actually
been 10 years…but have since come to grips) I look forward to seeing
everyone
