Hey Folks!!
Glad we're all finding each other through Facebook. Yet ANOTHER online networking tool!! LOL
Currently I'm working on the 2nd CD with my lastest band Speechless. We won an award from the Progressive Rock Hall of Fame last year for the song "Stella" off our debut CD. It was a great year. I've been married for just over 3 years and have a little one on the way, our first. We'll know if it's a boy or girl on January 12th, though it's not due until June 7th 2009.
My wife Lindsay Smith is also working on a new CD, (her 3rd) and I'll be on it as well. I've been on 9 different CDs over the past 12 years, as well as touring and teaching. I teach drumming to over 12 students a week, ranging in ages from 7 to 18. One of them is 12 and he can already play Dream Theater!! He's gonna be famous, I just know it.
Keep in touch, I put my lastest info and e-mail here, so don't be a stranger!!! | | | Kevin Rotramel | Dayton OH 45403 | My how things change. Graduated from Cedarville University in '94 with a degree in Organizational Communications, spent some time using my degree in numerous boring corporate environments, lived in Nashville TN, then moved to Ohio. Shuffled through a few more boring career moves, however things got a lot more exciting when I started brushing up on my art skills and wetn through a tattoo apprenticeship a couple of years ago. I now work as a full-time custom tattoo artist at New Breed Tattoos in Dayton Ohio. Didn't make it to the 10-year reunion, but I'm looking forward to the 15 year. Can't wait to see who got bald and fat. | | | Charlie Rush | Elkhart, IN 46517 | Well after graduating in '90 I went to business school in Lima OH for 2yrs and received an associates degree, then attended IUSB on and off and have not completed my bachleors degree. I'm currently studing at Goshen College and am considering grad school. I am working at Financial Solutions in Elkhart where I am refinancing mortgages. This is a nice departure from making cabinets. If anyone is considering refinancing feel free to email me.
| | | Michelle Makximenko Schrock | Raleigh, NC 27604 | Hello! I graduated from Purdue in '94 with a BS in Chemical Engineering and got married to Rod the same year. I tried an environmental "career" in South Bend at first but still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. We moved to North Carolina on a whim (we absolutely adore NC) and I got a job with an engineering design firm (they taught me CAD). I plan to start school again soon at NC State for a business-type degree. Drop me a line! | | | Amy Arnold Shane | Bluffton, IN 46714 | I work with preschoolers who have communication delays in the Huntington Community School Corporation.

I had a great time at the class reunion! I would encourage **anyone** who did not come to the 10 year to come to the 15th. Let's have a drink and catch up :-) or hey, if we've never talked - here's our opportunity! I agree with Amy - Nicole's life and death was very impacting and it makes you realize what's important! *Update*: '94 I graduated from IUPUI with a criminal justice degree and now work in Elkhart, at the Center for Community Justice as a program coordinator for the Victim Impact Panel (try and put that on applications :-0 ) More importantly, I am married with two beautiful children (Hannah, 4 & Dain, 3) and diligently working on a 3rd :-) Feel free to E-mail me. | | | Sheri Ingle Spurgeon | Mishawaka, IN 46544 | Hi everyone!!! Hard to believe it's been 15 years...So much has changed! My oldest stepson turned 16 a couple of weeks ago...can you still remember the excitement of getting your driver's license! I still work as a receiving technician at the South Bend Drinking Water division Underwriters Laboratories and am still living in Mishawaka. I'm excited about seeing everyone in the fall and hope everyone is happy and healthy. | | | Kate Grossman Staltari | Goshen, IN 46528 | Hello everyone. I graduated from Purdue in 1995 and got married that same year. I now work part-time as a Pharmacist at Martin's at the Concord Mall. I also have my own Home Based Business as a Creative Memories Consultant where I teach people how to scrapbook. My husband, Tony, and I have two girls. Isabella Marie (6/26/98) and Anna Katherine (7/28/00), they are both so cute and a lot of fun. Hope to see everyone at the next reunion. | | | Julie Hooper Stone | Sharpsburg, GA 30277 | I graduated from Purdue in 95 with my degree in Elementary Education.

I am thankful to those of you who are planning the reunions and keeping us updated on each other!! | | | Kevin Sumrak | Chicago, IL 60610 | I recently moved back to "the city with a heart" from Chicago. I tell people that it was work related, but deep down inside I realize the total Elkhart experience made me come back. The sight of endless rows of corn as I am driving down 31. Sitting at a crossing while 3 trains of 100 cars or more pass by. If I am lucky one of them might stop, but only if I am lucky. The incredible shopping at the Concord Mall. Fights at Astrobowl. And last but not least, the smell of puke from the bathrooms at Bowley's on a hot summer's eve. How could anyone live without these everyday miracles? Well, I have posted a new email address so drop me a line if you can. Oh, somebody do me a favor and find out from Cien where "Elkhar" is. Just curious. | | | Russ Swift | Smyrna, TN 37167 | Update: 11/06/07. I graduated from the University of North Texas in 95 with a music education degree. Not being too fond of becoming a band director, I turned to computers and today I'm a senior application developer at Bridgestone/Firestone headquarters. I'm also drumming a lot with a three-piece band around the southeast on the weekends. I married my lovely wife, Michelle, on 5/26/07. We have two female dogs: Coco, a Min Pin and Zoe, a Boxer. Michelle gave birth to our first child, Blake Allen, on 10/26/07. | | | Scott Swinehart | Elkhart, IN, 46517 | | | | David Szafranski | Defiance, OH 43512 | | | | Mike Thilman | Bloomington, IN 47401 | (5-14-05) Hey everyone. Just thought I would (finally) update my info. for any and all that care. Bloomington has still not been able to get rid of my sorry butt, and that's fine with me. To the amazement of most, I got married in August of 2002. My wife(Angie) and I have zero children, unless you count our 5 year old chocolate lab., and he is enough. It's been nine years and counting that I have been everyone's favorite beer sales rep. in this area(Beat that Principal Eddy!), so I expect to see nothing but Miller and Coors products at the reunion. If need be, Gum, Hoff and I will return with a trunk full of brew again, and the parking lot will turn into the personal Kilroy's/Harry's/Bowleys for any and all that want. Would love to hear from anyone that has a moment, and anyone that doesn't also. Again, I can't believe I sell beer for a living!!! | | | Amy Webster Thrasher | Noblesville, IN 46062 | | | | Phil Troyer | Elkhart, IN 46517 | Hey classmates!!! How's life? Hope it's good for all, cause it's all good here. My son Zac is 16 now and still nailing down a straight A average. He's a Sophmore this year (2006). Hope anyone out there with kids knows how precious little time we have on this rock and learn to spend it with your kids and your better half. I know I do. I've finally found someone worth spending the rest of my life with. And she's only a couple inches shorter than I am too! Bonus!! Spending my time giving God the recognition He deserves. And trying to live up to His expectations. He's the one calling all the shots. All of them. Hope you write if you feel what I'm saying... Peace...!!! | | | Jennifer McCray Turner | Jacksonville, NC 28540 | Hi everyone!! I hope you're doing well. I'm a Gunnery Sergeant in the Marine Corps. I've been in for 16 years.
