[Las Gatos, CA] |
Hi everybody. Since I
won't be able to make the reunion, thought I'd go ahead and drop a note
real quick. Since the 10 year reunion, gave up politics for good,
got an adult job in p.r., lived in Denver, then Dallas, and have been
out here in the Bay Area since 2001 working for Symantec. I love
it out here, but am pretty pissed that it took 33 years to finally find
a place where I fit in, ha-ha! But the mountains, ocean, beaches,
and that place called San Francisco sure keep me busy. However, I
come home about 10 to 12 times a year. Oklahoma, and Norman in
particular, are and always will be home. Hell, I have to come
home that much not to go into Toto's, Cocina's, and the Mont
withdrawals. Well you guys take care. Feel free to Google
me and that'll probably give you a better idea of what I've been up to
job-wise. Y'all holler if you're ever out to the Bay Area.

Jehan Parekh
[Norman, OK] |
Got
married (way too young) and lived up and down the east coast before
settling in South Carolina for 5 years. Earned my Bachelor's degree in
Urban Studies from the College of Charleston and returned to Oklahoma
in '92. Spent a year working at an insurance company before joining the
University of Oklahoma Financial Aid Office (go Sooners!!!) where I am
now Assistant Director of Student Loan Processing. I enjoy my
family, the best friends anyone could hope for, a challenging weekly
Iyengar Yoga practice, my growing ebay addiction, playing cards, but
most of all, spending time with my love, Doug. He is originally from
Tulsa and now lives in OKC working as an Electrical Engineer for
EDS/GM. His passion is flying and he is building his own airplane an
RV-7!!! We both feel incredibly fortunate to have found each other
after a lot of heartache and hard lessons.
Although I missed the 10 year, I hope to make it to our 20th.
Thanks to everyone who is working hard to make it happen. I look
forward to seeing you all!!
Update: Doug and I recently bought a home together here in Norman where
we reside with our two spoiled rottweilers. I think we are also
unofficially engaged. :-)

I went to OU for a year before
serving a 2 year mission for the LDS church in Auckland, New
Zealand. When I returned, I finished a degree in electrical
engineering at OU and went on to complete a PhD in Computer Science at
the University of Utah in 1999. I am now on the faculty at the
University of Utah, where I do research in scientific computing and
visualization. I travel frequently to various academic
conferences and meetings.
I have four daughters who keep me very busy. I enjoy the outdoors
and enjoy building things around the house.

Since
NHS I've been career-focused on school, work, school, and work, with
some play in between. I've lived in OKC; Vancouver, BC; Seattle,
Lynnwood & Arlington, Washington. I've been married x 8 years, and
have 2 cats (who think
they are children). I make my living in private practice,
and as a university faculty member. Fun for me is answering
listener/viewer questions on my radio talk show/ TV spot, and staying
politically involved. I'm looking forward to seeing many of you, and
returning to Oklahoma to visit. Thanks, in advance, to the alumni
committee for your efforts on bringing the class of '86 together.
5/14/06: OK, so my wife thought the pic I initially submitted made her
look- say "like a man!" Of course, we couldn't have that, so here
is something a little more recent. For those of you thinking of
not attending, keep in mind you will never have this opportunity to
reconnect with your crazy classmates like this. Attend!
