My husband and I and our two daughters, Abigail, 7 and Emma, 6, live in the northwest corner of Connecticut, a little area of the world that seems to be lost in time.  We live on a 200-acre farm that has been in my husband's family for 9 generations.  I work part time as a church secretary, which may sound mundane, but is actually a tremendous opportunity to help people during the most important moments in their lives--baptisms, weddings, funerals.  I am also very active in our own church and teach Sunday School, which I love.  My husband has a "corporate" job but we are proud to be part time farmers.  We make maple syrup in the spring, bale hay in the summer and have about 13 sheep.  We also own and operate a small winery with Dan's siblings, called The Land of Nod (www.landofnodwinery.com).  Our oldest daughter, Abigail, is in second grade, is very smart, and kicks butt on the soccer field! (my husband is the coach).  Our youngest daughter, Emma, is in first grade, loves to make us laugh and has a knack for always looking on the bright side of things.  They continue to teach us things every day...  Twenty years ago, I never dreamed I would be a "soccer mom".  Where have the years gone...?  The reunion plans sound wonderful, I am looking forward to seeing everyone and catching up.  All the best to you all....

I can't even believe it's been 20 years....wow, the time has flown by, 

Roger Wittman and I have two lovely offspring, Sabelle (11) and Raiden (7).  We currently live in Ocala , Florida, finally settling in after moving about for a few years.   We love it down here....the weather suits us all....we don't miss frigid temps and snow one bit.  We are kept busy by homeschooling both kids...the schools down here are a far cry from acceptable.  Roger is a self employed farrier...we're in the midst of horse country, so that's perfect....and also keeps active with other various interests.   In addition to homeschooling, I run my own personal chef/catering  service which is just getting off the ground over this past year.   I  have become an avid runner over the years ( I had to do something after 4 years of body abuse in college) and successfully completed my first and second half marathons last year.  Overall, enjoying life and what it has to offer....most days.

Hope to see you at the 20th!!

     After Exeter High I attended Wittenberg University in Ohio.    
    After graduating in 1992 I lived in Aspen Co for a year and then due to family illness I returned home.  
    I definently dabbled looking for the elusive career.  I was the dining room mananger for Saunders Restaurant in Rye and at Josephs.  I interned in a second grade classroom in Rowley, Ma.  I worked for a company called Adventurelore out of Danville, NH. This taught experiential education (like outward bound but private). We taught ropes courses and team building lessons to the Montesorri school in Exeter and others. I also worked at Barkers Farm the summer of 1995. I definently saw a few of you at farmers market in Exeter.  
    The winter of 1996 I worked in Freeport Bahamas at an Italian run resort, implementing a children's program and utilizing the experiential education I learned in NH. We kayaked, built sand castles and put on plays.  From the Bahamas I took a foray to Italy to visit some of the new friends I met at the club and then moved to Little Compton, RI to start a comparable kids program here for a private club.  I met my husband two weeks after moving here and we were married in 2000, four years later.  
    I started my own gardening company in 1999 called Sagestone.  I design, install and maintain residential gardens here in town.  
  Our son, Evan was born in 2002. He just started half-day Kindergarden.  Our second son, Teagan was born in 2004. He just started preschool.   I definitely still dabble in the dirt but most days I am building forts, making mudpies, creating truck halloween costumes, going crabbing or refereeing my boisterous Brady boys.
    I am really looking forward to our 20th reunion.  Jennifer and I have tried to create something amazing that all our classmates should enjoy.  I can't wait to see you all there.
 all my best   alli

Well... I've been pretty busy since high school. I've been blessed to have wonderful careers in both music and art. They've allowed me to travel the world and work with some amazing people, including some childhood idols like Elton John and Daryl Hall. I started a couple of businesses on the side which are still going strong. A few years back I kicked booze and drugs. It wasn't easy, but I'm grateful for the serenity it's given me. I got engaged to a wonderful guy about a year ago. If the powers that be ever get around to legalizing marriage for us, we'll be first in line to tie the knot. There's more... but why blab on and on about it here? I'll see you all at the reunion! We'll catch up then! Cheers! Daniel

Wow where to start!  The best part of my life really didn't start until 9/11.  That really changed priorities for me as I no longer wanted to be the next "Donald Trump".  I got married three weeks later and its been all great adventures since.  After 9/11 I realized the most important things in life are my family and country so I sold my business in CA, went back to college to get an B.S. and M.B.A in Finance... oh ya and joined the military in 2004 as an Army Intelligence Officer.  I have volunteered for multiple tours to the Middle East and moved the family to North Carolina (near Pinehurst for you golfing fans) so I could work with a Special Forces unit.  Website listed is a charity for kids of fallen Special Forces soldiers, the military families are the real Patriots sacrificing in this war.  Wife and I are still diehard Raider fans (still have front row season tixs in Oakland).  We plan to see them play in every stadium in the country before we die so might be heading to your town some day.  I have two wonderful daughters 13 and 15 with the oldest a brainiac and the youngest in special ed.  My wife is what else--- a MATH TEACHER, although its a new career for her. I have even been a substitute teacher for a couple months although I make kids who talk in class do pushups so might get fired someday.  Hope to make it in July and God Bless America.

Hi all.
I haven't strayed to far from home in fact I live right next door to where I did while I was in school.  I work for the Town of Durham and UNH as an emergency dispatcher.  I've been doing this since we all graduated.  A long time ago, unfortunately.  
I have been married for 13 years.  Which for those of you who know us will tell you is amazng!   I have 2 of the most enteraining boys on the planet.  But if you ask me how many kids I have I will answer 3 because my husband acts about as old as them.  Nikkolas was born in 1998 and is now in the 4th grade with the same teacher I had in 5th.  Charlie was born in 2002 and just enetered kindergarden thank god!  Both are the loves of my life and my biggest headache.  Being an only child I have no clue about this sibling-rivalry stuff and at times it does drive me up the wall. 
I think that my life has been pretty good and I can't wait to catch up with those of you I haven't seen in ages or since the last reunion.

Hi Everyone—Here’s my spiel.  I’m going to try to cram all of this info into the few minutes that I have left before my son wakes up for a midnight snack….After high school, I moved up to Hanover, NH and spent the next 12 years at Dartmouth.  I graduated from the College in 1992, and then from the Medical School in 1996.  Next, I stayed at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center to do my training in Internal Medicine.  I had originally planned to go elsewhere for this, but my internship year was also to be my first year of marriage to Chris Couture, a Vermonter who was still a DMS student, so I stayed put.  After finishing my 3-year residency in '99, I was lucky enough to be appointed to the DMS faculty and hired as an attending physician in the Internal Medicine department at DHMC.  When Chris finished his residency in the summer of 2000, I left my job and it was finally time to move away from the state of NH.  I did so kicking and screaming and spent the next year in Oklahoma (!), where Chris did a Sports Medicine fellowship.  Chris had attended med school on an Air Force scholarship, and by Fall of 2001, it was payback time...a terrible time to be entering Active Duty in the military, depending on how you look at it.  The Air Force moved us up to Nebraska 11 days after our daughter, Chloe, was born in October 2001.  (Aside:  You might be tempted to say that Chloe is an Okie--"not that there's anything wrong with that"--but technically she was born on New England soil, as we had placed a bag of NH beach sand under my delivery bed!)  Well, we spent the better part of the next 5 years in an Omaha, Nebraska suburb where I was a stay-at-home mom while Chris worked as a family doc at the local Air Force base and a team physician for UNO.  Unfortunately, Chris was deployed to the Middle East in 2002, so I temporarily moved home to Exeter until, thankfully, he returned safe and sound.  The next few years passed by relatively uneventfully until Chris completed his military service and we made a bee-line home to New England.  We moved to sweet little ole’ Newfields, NH in the summer of 2006.  After my husband started work in Exeter and I got our daughter tucked into the local kindergarten, my time was my own again and I went back to work part-time as a Core Physician with Exeter Internal Medicine.  I had just been working for about 4 months and loving “the real world” again, when we discovered that I was pregnant.  Our son, Evan, was born in Exeter on March 7, 2008 and I am still waiting for him to sleep through the night!  Luckily, my office is very flexible and I am still on maternity leave with plans to return to the hospital after a fun summer off with my kids. 

 

Phew!  Geez, I really babbled.  But anyway, that’s the deal, and it’s time for me to hit the rack before somebody wakes up.  Thanks for reading my story;  I’ve enjoyed reading yours and I’m looking forward to Reunion.  BHC.

Hey Everybody-

Well as you can see I'm down here in Yankees country on Long Island, NY - but still doing my part for Red Sox nation!

(I'll have to go find a photo from "way back when" in high school but I'm not that great on the photo-editing.)

After high school and college I went on to work for a defense contractor in western Massachusetts, but then discovered that I just love flying after a few years, and all things related to it.  So, I quit that career path and went into flying full time.  Started a seaplane business based in the Virgin Islands and later in New York, but that didn't work out and (like Bart Clark) I did not ultimately realize any Donald Trump successes!

 But I had a blast along the way, met tons of cool people, and still have the family up in New Hampshire (which I miss a great deal).  Now I work for an aviation charter company down in New York, drive some pretty neat planes, and living with a girlfriend.  Life's pretty good so far, and I have fond memories of Exeter.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to NH in July, but I hope you'll have a beer for me!   Love the photos and memories!  Looking forward to reading more sotires of everybody.....

Started working full-time in 1990 as studio photographer for a small ad agency in Portsmouth, which disolved four years later when the partners split. Read an article in the Boston Globe about the five best and five worst places to be looking for work in '94. Five worst: Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Louisiana. OK, time to move. Five best: Utah, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona and DC. Off to DC for 12 great years. Loved it there. Kept the same great apartment for 8, bought eBay as an IPO, met my wife while working for the American Institute of Architects, went to Italy and proposed, bought a house in Maryland in August 2001, got married in Exeter on September 15, 2001(!). Flew to Ireland on September 16, 2001- first plane to leave Logan...Had a daughter in 2003, took care of her for two years while working as a press photographer (she rode in a backpack unbeknownst to my editors), took classes at night and graduated Cum Laude from UMD in 2005. Better late than never. Sold MD house in 2006 and moved back to NE to be closer to family and stay out of airports during holidays. Spent a year job-hopping and renting while real estate prices kept dropping, finally found a great job that is a pleasant drive on country roads from the house we bought in Hopedale, MA shortly after having our son. Life is good.

Hi everyone!
It does seem like time has gone by so quickly and I can't believe we are celebrating our 20th reunion!  I am living in sunny Los Angeles where I moved 12 years ago to pursue my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology.  I specialize in children with developmental disorders, specifically autism.  I had to work 2 years post-Masters to get my license and then I had the difficult task of building my own private practice. I was in the midst of all of this when I met my darling husband whom I married in 2001. He played beach volleyball with a girlfriend of mine from grad school and she introduced us- He works as a Business Manager for actors/producers/directors in the entertainment industry so we are in Los Angeles for the long haul, but I miss New England terribly.  It definitely is true, "You can take the girl out of New England, but you can't take New England out of the girl!" Since getting married, in four years, we have had 3 children!!  We have Grace (3 1/2), Harrison (2 1/2) and Marin (she's our baby- just turned 1!)  Motherhood is the most profound, amazing (and exhausting!)experience and I decided to concentrate solely on them and leave the career for a while until they are older.  I feel that it is so important to be there for each moment- after all it goes by so quickly!   In addition to our family, I love to travel and have gone on several volunteer missions around the world-  Before having children, I worked in Chennai, India for 1 month educating women on proper prenatal healthcare and arranging pro-bono health checkups for the women and children of the local villages- my next trip I'm planning is to Africa working with displaced orphans from the civil conflict in Sudan and surrounding areas. It certainly puts quite the perspective on things and is incredibly meaningful and rewarding to me.  Alli and I remain inseparable even 3500 miles away-our families meet every summer in New England at Alli's in RI or my Dad's house which is in Wolfeboro now and the cousins play, they make sand castles and s'mores and as everyone else has said- "Life IS good, isn't it?  Can't WAIT to see everyone!
