Occupation: happy (usually) scientist) From Bart: George, if it weren't for your efforts of alternately nagging, appealing, caring, and goading I don't think we would be pulling together this way. Thanks. The cliff notes of my last 30 years are: 4 years at middlebury studying the green mountains, i mean geology, and playing lacrosse. then 5 years at cornell where i found a phd and earned a wife. then a big move to boston where a physicist (me) and an electrical engineer (my wife) could craft meaningful careers without too much trouble. i spent the first 11 years at an MIT spinoff called american superconductor that had moderate success and then decided i would try my own hand at it... in 2001, with an MIT professor and a dot com entrepreneur, I co-founded A123Systems. it has been an amazing experience that i plan to expound upon when i see everyone in october. Oh yes... i have two kids that are either magic or highly infectious with a rare condition called joy. (check the pic)  Send This Person a Message

Occupation: Misc.) Marital Status: Married No. of Children: 4 From Tina: Thanks George for putting together the website. I’ve listed my various, sundry occupations since graduating in ‘81. Sadly, I probably won’t make it for the reunion since I didn’t procreate soon enough to have a built-in babysitter by the time of the 25th reunion (hence, the detailed bio). Student: Graduated from Brigham Young University in 1986 with B.A. in Fashion Design and in 1989 with an MBA. Mother: Phoebe (almost 15), Anna (almost 13), Derek (9), Luke (5). Wife: Married a witty guy from Utah (Chris Romney), after I vowed my freshman year of college that I would never marry a guy from Utah and that I’d never stay in Utah after college. (Shall I eat my words?) We married while I was in my second year of MBA school and his third year of medical school. No regrets! Mainer: Spent three years of Chris’ Internal Medicine Residency in the paradise otherwise known as Cape Elizabeth, Maine eating inordinate amounts of fresh seafood and smelling the invigorating salt air, before returning to the land of the Great Salt Lake. String Enthusiast: 9 years as a Suzuki mom to 2 violinists and a cellist. Twinkle, Twinkle ad nauseum! Triathlete: I had to start doing something at age 39 to prove that I was more alive than dead. (Doesn’t middle age make you do crazy things?) Medical Assistant: Being married to a doctor means that you should automatically be able to diagnose any neighbor, friend or acquaintance’s illness, right? Teacher: Have taught curriculum for the last 9 years in K – 6 classrooms as part of our elementary school co-op program. Hair Stylist: Overheard in the Romney bathroom: “You want to do what with your hair? Hey, I only do braids and ponytails. I’m not one of those “Hair-do Moms.”” Outdoor Enthusiast: Backpacking in remote areas of the Uinta Mountains, exploring the wilds of Zion’s and Arches National Parks, mountain biking the 100-mile White Rim Trail and rafting the Colorado River are a few of the western adventures we’ve had. Gardener: Things don’t survive in the desert without an extensive irrigation system. It took about 50% of my plantings and 13 years to figure this one out. Academic Coach: For the last four years have coached both my daughters’ Future Problem Solving Teams (www.fpsp.org) to State Championships and International Competitions. Costumer: Sewn and helped design costumes for the Children’s Dance Theatre, a modern dance group of which both my girls are members. Ski Patrol: Must not be very good at this since I lost a five-year-old who could out-ski me for about a half-hour because she ventured down an ungroomed trail and got stuck two feet down in the powder. Note: I’ve been lured to the “dark side,” (I’m a board head.) General Contractor: Spent 1 1/2 years contracting the construction of our house accompanied by a 2-year-old assistant who worked hard to help every sub. VP Marketing and Customer Relations, SOSLtd.: Just began helping my dad part-time this year with his business, but I have a long way to go to fill the shoes of this position. (www.culturethesos.com) Claim to Fame: Mother of one of the “Children of Light” who entertained us all during the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics. If any of you are ever in Utah for the powder or the national parks, look me up. Cheers in October! Send This Person a Message

Website: www.hammerheadadvertising -) .com/who_rowe.php4 Marital Status: Married No. of Children: 4 From Mark William: Up to Date With the Rowlearys
My best friend (and constant annoyance) George Dominguez is fond of recalling something I may or may not have said back in the mid-Eighties.
In response to his constant needling of my infamous break-up with Mary-Jo Morin, I would counter, “You know, we never technically broke-up …..”
Well it looks like MJ O’Leary and I are having the last laugh - albeit 22 years later than I would have liked. A chance meeting at Fenway Park earlier in this millennium culminated in a blended-family marriage in December of 2003.
MJ toils (quite successfully, or so I’m told) in the publishing world while I fake-it-and-make-it at a creatively dysfunctional advertising agency.
We are most proud and beaming of our four children. Ben (17), Connor (13) Mackenzie (12) and Delaney (11). Send This Person a Message

Marital Status: Married) No. of Children: 4 From Mary Jo: The strangest thing about the reunion emails from George is that Mark and I are constantly reminded of our high school connection - something we actually forget about most days!
You’ve read Mark’s 100 word summary of our lives from 1981 to 2006 – I’ll attempt to fill in some details without dragging this on too much longer…
After we “broke up” sometime during the evening/early morning of Senior Prom, we spent the summer after High School with different agendas and different people. Four years later Mark graduated from American U and I graduated from Gettysburg College.
After a brief stint working on Capitol Hill, Mark started his career in advertising and has since worked in the industry for several different agencies. After an equally brief stint working for a start-up company based in Westport (Kay Butler and I were two of the four employees, so when the company went belly-up we shouldn’t have been surprised!), I found publishing and have been there since.
I’m currently responsible for Sales and Marketing at Wiley. I love my job and am fortunate to work for Wiley – a company that has been recognized as a Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For and awarded one of the Best Companies for Working Women.
Balancing family and career is a whole lot easier when you work for a company that really believes working mothers can and should be moms first.
Mark and I feel extremely lucky to have been given a second chance at love, at life and at trying to keep a healthy perspective on what really matters. Our children are awesome (our slightly biased opinion) and the blended family thing (we’re two kids short of the Brady Bunch) has really worked.
We look forward to seeing everyone in October. Send This Person a Message

Occupation: Executive) Website: www.disasterkleenup.com Marital Status: Married No. of Children: 3 From Dale: As with others, not sure that anyone is all that interested, but what the heck, right. Spent four years at Middlebury College with WHS classmates Bart Riley, Peter Clough, JP Tracey, and Sean O'Connell. Spent three years in the New York area as a commercial banking officer with the former Irving Trust Company before returning to school at the Wharton Business School in Philadelphia to get my MBA. I met my wife (Laura) at Wharton and after graduation we moved to Chicago where I was a sales and marketing manager for a medium-sized technology company. After nine years I left to help start up an Internet company during the heady days of the late 90's. Unfortunately we got to the game just a little too late. We raised a lot of money, sponsored the New Year's Day bowl game, but were ultimately part of the dot com crash and wound up on the trash heap of history, our name but a memory (though Amazon thought enough of the name to buy it.) Since then (2001), I've been running Disaster Kleenup International, a company that responds 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to 'events' ranging from minor homeowner losses like pipes bursting in your basement, to catastrophes like Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Wilma, etc, the 9/11 disaster, big commercials fires, etc. We have over 300 affiliated locations in the US and Canada. My wife and I have three kids. Philip is 14 and just started high school. Thankfully he is way less obnoxious than I was at that age, but still a handful as today's 14 is our generation's 18. Emma is 11 and in the sixth grade. She's every dad's nightmare as she can pass herself off as 16 already. Thank God she finds sports more interesting than most anything else right now. Calvin is 8 and just started the 3rd grade. If I've got a future wrestler, it's him. As for Laura, after a retail bank marketing career, several years off with the kids, and one and a half years working part-time with me, she just took a full-time position with the one of our local schools. I'm looking forward to being at reunion and catching up with lots of folks. And most importantly, many many thanks to George for organizing this. Well done!!!!!! Send This Person a Message
