audition with a unknown singer at the time named Shaniah Twain. Yes I
blew it, didn't set my alarm and didn't wake up. My wife and I just
had our first child named her Katelyn. She is a hand full (LOVES

Lonny Beal, Class of 1983,
2359 Pine Knott Dr., Beavercreek, OH 45431, 937-427-9828, After
graduation, I went to Miami University and graduated in 1987 with a
bachelors in Systems Analysts. During the summer of 1986, I spent the
summer in Tokyo, Japan as a short term missionary with Campus Crusade
for Christ. While at Miami, I was in Air Force ROTC and was
commissioned upon graduation. During the summer, I worked for BDM in
Dayton while awaiting flight training in navigator school in the fall.
I moved out to Sacramento, CA for undergraduate navigator training.
During the Christmas break (1987), I returned to Ohio and married my
college sweetheart, Beth Steenrod. Upon graduation of navigation
school in Aug of 1988, I went to Survival Training in Washington state
and KC-135 aircraft training in Merced, CA. In January 1989, I moved
to England for three years. I flew on the airborne command and control
aircraft and took many European vacations (not with Chevy Chase).
After my tour in England, I spent a couple of months training in
Alabama before heading to the opposite side of the globe to Okinawa,
Japan. I spent 4 years flying the KC-135 around the Pacific. During
that time, I graduated with a masters degree in Economics. Also,
during that tour my daughter, Jessica, was born (1994). After my tour
in Japan, I moved to Hawaii for 3 1/2 years. While stationed in
Hawaii, I flew 4-star generals and admirals around the Pacific and the
states as their personal chauffer. In addition, I was Hickam's flight
safety officer and was trained in aircraft accident investigations. I
was promoted to Major and graduated from Air Command and Staff
College. After Hawaii, I moved to Altus, Oklahoma where I taught new
navigators how to operate the KC-135. After 15 years of constant
flying jobs, I finally got a chance to take a break from flying and
obtained a staff job as a command flight safety officer at Air Force
Material Command at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. We live in Beavercreek
(10 minutes from the air base). This spring, I was promoted to Lt
Colonel (I will pin on the new rank Oct 03). Currently, I am studying
Air War College material. www.geocities.com/lonny_beal,

Scott
Benner, MHS Class of 1984, and Jennifer (May) Benner. Jenny and I have been married
for four years now and we are expecting our first child in September of 1998. Jenny is
originally from the New Carlisle area near Dayton. We met while working at the same
hospital in Cincinnati. Later, we moved to Indianapolis where we now work at a large
central laboratory, called Covance, which does testing exclusively for pharmaceutical
company clinical trials. My parents still live and work in Greenfield and we come to visit
when we can. Mom still teaches first grade and Dad still works for Johnson Controls. If
you would like to find out more detail about what Jenny and I have been doing, then check
out our home page at http://home.earthlink.net/~sbenner.
I am not responsible for what you might find there! You can contact us at sbenner@earthlink.net or 7788 Cobblesprings Drive,

Class of 1984, 7788 Cobblesprings Drive, Plainfield, IN 46168, (317) 272-8727, This
is a brief update to my previous posting. Our son, Andrew was born last September
and is still growing like a weed. See pictures on my homepage http://home.earthlink.net/~sbenner/ There
are also some other pictures of hobbies, interests, and family. Both Jenny and I
still work at the same company, Covance, but I have moved into a new area there where I
develop Microsoft Access Databases. I'm out of the lab and basically that's all that
matters. Jeny and I keep busy with the baby, and I also enjoy fly-fishing, boating, bass
fishing, volleyball, beer drinking, and big TV's. (These are a few of my favorite
things)ha, ha. It's been good to hear from those of you who know me. It is always good to
know your old friends still remember you. I don't get back to Greenfield as much as I
should but I know that friends are only as far away as my home computer. Thanks for
writing us. Scott sbenner@earthlink.net
46123, 2004 Update: Hello
friends. My family an I are still living in the same place for 10
years now. We thought about moving but I guess we lacked the
proper motivation to carry it out. Drew is now 5 yrs old and will
start Kindergarten in the fall. He is into dinosaurs galore! Jenny
has a new position as the Manager of QA in an upstart company,
Indy Biostorage Technologies, and she is doing very well. I am
firmly planted in the Covance Corporate world where I have carved
out a nice niche for myself over the last 11 years as an
applications developer. I still have many of the same non-work
interests as before only not so much "beer drinking"
these days. I'm more of a fish-a-holic in the summer and a PC nut
in the Winter. The upcoming 20th reunion of the class of '84 has
me pretty pumped up. I can't wait to see some of my old
classmates. So many of the grads from ol' McClain are doing so
well these days that it really makes me proud to tell my new
friends and co-workers about our wonderful, historical high
school. Come visit my home page for a brief view of my life at: http://home.indy.rr.com/sbenner

Charleston, SC. I am finishing my 22nd year (teaching Special Education)
in the same classroom, which happens to be a "temporary" trailer. It's a
running joke at my school to call Guinness and see if there's a category
this would fit in. Made it to the 10 year reunion, but none after that.
I manage to get back to Greenfield every summer to see my Mother, having
lost my dad while I was in college. Just missed the Greene Countrie
Towne this past summer, was leaving the day it started. Enjoying a happy

Tracy Cooper-Reveal, Class of 1989, Thanks to Marsha O for reminding
me to update my BIO! In the past 6 years, we've expanded our family to
include a beautiful little girl named Halle Elizabeth (11/05). Big
Brother Cole and his posse of sports fanatic friends have her spoiled
already! Keeping up with all of them (despite wearing INDIAN garb) has
been fun and keeps us very busy! I'm still working with Ohio Dept. of
Rehab & Correction, so if I happen to see you while on-the-clock, I do
hope you're an employee! I've given up adjunct work to consult for
various federal and other corrections agencies. That's meant lots of
travel to some cool places, but it's always best to come back to
Highland County! Hello to all my 1989 - soon to be 20 years - alumni
friends! Hopefully we'll all be able to get together in '09.

Scott
Cross, MHS Class of 1981. Hello fellow Tigers ... I was very surprised to find good
ole Greenfield on the internet. Welcome to the 20th Century haha. Altho I didn't live in
Greenfield for that long, I was born there and also attended McClain High School (there
and Laurel Oaks) I do call it home. I still have family there so I get home fairly often
to visit. I was also surprised to see that Burger King and McDonalds have sprung up there
... WOW! Greenfield really is booming. Anyhow, I graduated from McClain in 1981 with my
buds Crouse, Perry and Haney. Sure did have some great times playin football with those
good ole boys. After graduating I worked in Wilmington at Cincinnati Milacron while
waiting to join the Army as an armor crewman which I did in Oct 81. I got married and had
two girls ... Lisa and Linda. Now 14 and 12 respectively. I spent my first year in the
Army in Fort Bliss, Texas, then up till now bouncing back and forth between Fort Knox,
Kentucky, and Germany. I will be going back to Germany in Feb 99 for three more years then
retiring from the Army. I divorced in March and have since remarried. My new bride Melissa
and my stepdaughter Nadia will be joining me overseas. After retiring I plan to return to
Ohio and get into law enforcement. (So watch out Jon ... *grin*) Anyhow, good to see
Greenfield growing. Maybe I will get back and watch the Tigers play some football again
this year. Good Luck Fellas! Email address: crosss@ftknox2-emh3.army.mil
Willie
& Kris (Rooks) Cross, 1989 and 1987 MHS grads.
The two of us were recently made three with the birth of our beautiful son, Cyrus James,
on March 27, 1998. Cy is the absolute light of our lives (flaky, but true). You can check
out some photos of him (and the rest of the family) on his Grandpa Larrys website at
www.highland-ohio.com/ne8v. Aside from our family
addition, weve also added a new home to our projects list (as if we didnt have
enough to do right now!) Weve been living here since the beginning of May and we
love it. Willie has been working for GTE since graduating from high school; I now work for
Fall Creek Communications (the family biz). Willie still lives and breathes Ohio
archaeology and Im working on learning some photography skills. You can drop us a
note at kwcross@bright.net or 12076 Juvenile St.,
Greenfield, OH 45123 or call (937) 981-7740.
UPDATE, Kris Rooks Cross &
Willie Cross, Class of 1987, Thought it was time to update our biography
since so much has happened lately. Most importantly, we were blessed
with a daughter, Harper Jane, on May 18, 1999. She was born two months
early due to her having a genetic disorder called Beckwith-Wiedemann
Syndrome, but she is a trooper and has done VERY well. She and Cy keep
each other very busy (and Mom & Dad, too!) but what a ton of fun!
Photos of the divine Miss H and the rest of our family are at http://www.highland-ohio.com/kris/familyscrapbook.jpg.
Then in July 2000 we bought an old (1823?) fixer-upper on Cave Road,
near 7 Caves and the Highlands Nature Sanctuary. Standing on the front
porch of our house, you can hear the falls at the Barrett's Mill dam
(that's priceless). Check out the sanctuary's website at www.highlandssanctuary.org
if you're not aware of this amazing thing happening in our area. The
sanctuary and the community of folks living on Cave & Browning roads
are what drew our family there. Our new address will be 6929 Cave Road,
Bainbridge, OH 45612 (but don't write us yet, we don't have a mailbox!) kwcross@bright.net
Crystal
(Hall) DAmico, MHS Class of 1984. It seems
like a lifetime has passed since I graduated from McClain! Well, where do I start? I have
an A.A.S. degree from Tidewater Community College in Virginia Beach, VA. I am back in Ohio
now and living in Dayton. I was an executive secretary to the CFO of Moto Photo Inc. and
most recently a legal secretary for Coolidge, Wall, Wamsley & Lombard, Co., L.P.A. I
have been married for five years to an architect and have a daughter who will be 3 in
October. I am a stay-at-home mom now, but plan to go back to work when my daughter starts
going to elementary school. Would love to hear from any of my old school friends. I can be
contacted at DAMICO65@AOL.COM or 5770 Anne Lane,
Dayton, OH 45459, 937-435-8704. Hope to see you all at the reunion!
Joachim Davis, Class of 1984, Alma,
P. O. Box 212, NE 68920, After graduating and receiving my certificate
in Electronics from Laurel Oaks, I failed to find employment in the
region and moved to the Silicon Valley where my brothers Joe ('75) and
Jeff ('81) preceded me. In 2 weeks was employed there. I
found employment in my field of study after a year and never left it.
I finally met a level headed girl and married in '93. We now have
3 boys aged 1 to 5. They are most important in our life and why we
left the big city to find the friendly, Christian, rural Nebraskan life
to be most fitting. Our town has a population of 1200 and sits
next to the Harlan County Reservoir. Employment isn't the
greatest, but we don't worry about our physical safety here. I
have a lot of hobbies I can't practice right now because of the age of
our children. In 10 more years I will let you know which ones
prevail... I would welcome e-mails from classmates. Please
include some information to knock the cobwebs loose. jvdavis@cenebr.net
Leigh Ann Delph, Class of 1989, 945 Woodhill Dr, Grandview Heights, Oh
43212, Hey Everybody!! You won't believe how surprised I was to be searching on the
internet and realize Greenfield was on the net!!! When I found this I thought it was
really great. After graduation I hung around about 1 week and I was gone. I partied
for a little while and then got married and had a son. He is now 8 yrs old. His name is
Koeby. delph0316@yahoo.com
Leigh Ann Delph, Class of 1989, 945 Woodhill Dr, Grandview Heights,
Oh 43212, Well I accidentally hit enter and submitted my information and
I haven't gotten back here to finish it up. I got divorced about 5 yrs
ago. Since then I have just been working and taking care of my son. Not
to much of an interesting life. But anyone with kids knows it is
ultimately the best thing. It was great to find this site. I have
emailed a couple of people because of it. So if anyone wants to email me
I would love to hear from most of you!!! Take Care Everyone!! This
is an update. delph0316@yahoo.com
UPDATE: Leigh Ann Delph, Class
of 1989, Grandview, Oh, Just wanted to let everyone know that I have
added an addition to my family . I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in
December I named him Nicholas Anthony and let me tell you this pregnancy
was unexpected. After I had Koeby 10 years ago I said no more but I
couldn't be happier. His father was very happy also. I hope everyone I
graduated with is doing well and those that I know are as well take
care. delph0316@yahoo.com
Katie
(Riley) Dettwiller, MHS Class of 1984. After
graduating from MHS in 1984, I went on to further my education at Otterbein College in
Westerville, Ohio. I earned my bachelors degree in communications and business
administrations (marketing/management). I moved back to Greenfield and started working for
a mortgage company. Also during that time, I obtained my EMT certification. I volunteered
as an EMT at the Greenfield Area life Squad for quite a few years. Through a blind date, I
met my now husband Mark Dettwiller. He is related to the many other Dettwillers in
Greenfield. We have two children: Megan (age 5) and Morgan (age 3 going on 30). Morgan is
just like her father! My husband was promoted and relocated to LaGrange, Ga., (about an
hour southwest of Atlanta) last May. The girls and I stayed behind hoping to sell the
house (if anyone is interested in a three-bedroom A-frame out at Rocky Fork Lake, please
let me know!). The girls and I finally down here in November of 97. It is definitely
different. My kids have already severely picked up the southern drawl. My
husband loves his position at Palm Harbor Homes (engineering manager). I am working from
home (which is very nice!) for a company called Ferno Aviation. Ferno-Washington Inc. out
of Wilmington, Ohio, is the parent company. I had worked there for almost nine years. I am
a marketing manager for Ferno Aviation. I have to admit that I miss Ohio. We really do not
have any close friends here or relatives here and that eight- to nine-hour drive is a
killer. So hello to all I know and should you feel like chatting, my e-mail address is kdettwiller@ferno.com. You can also contact us at
119 Old Airport Road, #29, LaGrange, GA 30240, or call 706-812-8930.
UPDATE: Katie (Riley) Dettwiller,
Class of 1984, 70 Austin Woods Drive, Senoia, Georgia 30276,
I've pretty much updated everyone with my first insert. I am
just curious if the class of 1984 will be having a 20 yr. reunion
next year. I really can't coordinate things from down here
in Georgia, but there are many ample brains that could work
together up there. I'd be glad to help with what I could
from this distance. Like I said, I'm just curious. We are
keeping busy down here in Georgia. I feel like I eat and
sleep at the softball fields. Megan has literally been
playing since February. Her first Fall Ball practice was
tonight. Megan made the All Star team in the spring and we
just finished that up last weekend. Well, if anyone knows
something about a reunion, please let me know. Thanks! (kdettwiller@ferno.com)
Tim Dettwiller, Class of 1983, 1495 East Pekin
Road, Lebanon, Ohio 45036, 513-933-0844, Hello classmates!
Over the last 20 years I have been busy. Robin and I were married
in 1986. I graduated from Wilmington College in 1987. Robin
Graduated in 1994 from Ohio University. I worked for the Auditor
of State of Ohio as a Deputy Auditor for 13 years. I moved on to be the
Treasurer/CFO for Madison Plains Schools. I have been the
Treasurer/CFO for Springboro Community City Schools (near Dayton) for
the past 3 years. Robin and I have 4 great kids, Tim 15, Jim 14,
Rebecca 10 and Rachel 10 (twins). I would really like to get email
addresses to start an email list of all our classmates. Heck we
may get crazy and have a 20th reunion. Write to wrestler4life@your-net.com.
Robin Dorchel Jones:
Gee, I guess I should submit to
this site as my name has been brought up once or twice. Firstly by my
high school best friend who I still love and admire today. Always a
voice of reason, yet always willing to try something new and have fun.
Secondly by my now ex-husband Danny Jones. 15 years, two kids and an
"honorable mention". I married Danny Jones on January 20th,
1987. I was 6 months pregnant and it seemed like a good decision on his
part. He whisked me off to California, 4 months after Brittany was born,
dropped us off and abruptly left for overseas. In the next 3 years, we
were together 15 months. This being based on the Seabee rotation- not
his fault, but at the same time his choice of careers. Having been
raised in small towns and with very little real life experiences beyond
rather miserable high school follies, I became overwhelmed with my
suddenly "grown-up" situation. I haven't any qualms with
admitting that I didn't handle it very well. Went off the deep end,
really. Never did drugs- but I sure did find an alternate reality with
alcohol. I did as I suppose most in their late teens and early twenties
do. An interesting mix of fun and misery... I survived, Brittany
survived and surprisingly so did my marriage. The following three years
were just the opposite. Danny was now on shore duty. We moved to another
base and set up a "real" home. I became super mom... PTA, Navy
wife, all around great gal. I threw myself into my marriage and into my
family. We became four there- my son was born. A truly wonderful
experience. I put forth my greatest effort to make my family a success.
My husband at this time was present 24/7. These were "the good
years" and probably deserve more detail, but it was really quite
mundane. We come then to the next three years. Right back to Port
Hueneme and the dreaded 8mo/5mo rotation. Much of what I had established
in the previous 3 years carried through for a length of time, but I once
again found myself alone- this time with two kids. I filled some of this
time with more responsible endeavors- volunteer work at the children's
school, a couple of exchange students, etc. Regardless, our marriage
fell apart. By the time we left for Danny's next station, it was pretty
much over. I just kind of gave up. We decided to separate shortly after
arriving. Separated, but not divorced. We retained the marriage for
mutual benefit with the understanding that if one or the other should
fall in love and wish to get married, we'd divorce. The children and I
moved into a small house in Marysville when Danny left for overseas.
Three years later, Dan returned to Washington. The children, having
missed their father greatly, asked to live with him. This I granted. I
gave up the house and resided with a man I had met in the interim. The aforementioned
relationship ended abruptly and not affably. I moved to a nice two
bedroom apartment to start over. Danny was married in August, 2004. We
finished the divorce in June, 2005. Today I am self reliant. I have
developed many wonderful friendships. I am currently with George- who is
loving, caring and tolerant of the quirks I've developed through life.
His family loves me as I do them. Life is good. My daughter is doing
fabulous- smart and sweet and responsible- and in a good relationship
with a wonderful, gentle and attentive young man. My son is doing just
as well. Smarter than his teachers and decisive in all he does. He'll be
someone to reckon with as he matures. How lucky I am! I am proud of them
both. hodchick@hotmail.com
Ron Dudley, Class of 1988,
5959 Ft. Caroline Rd. #3607, Jacksonville, FL 32277, (904) 743-9904, Hehe...you didn't
think I would fall for that, did you? I've decided that Wendy will be my publicist, so you
will have to ask her! I wish you all well! ronjax2000@cs.com,
UPDATE: Ron
Dudley, Class of 1988, Wendy moved to Japan for a few years, so I
guess it's up to me. It's all a blur, but I did some time in the NAVY
during the first Gulf War, then stayed here in Jacksonville working as
a driver, then security guard, spent about 5 years at Sears selling
computers, and have been working at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida
for the last 8 years. I managed to get my A.S. in Computer Science in
2003 and have been working as a software developer at BCBSFL since
2004. I am currently looking at taking a position in Columbus, but
nothing is settled yet. My wife and daughter are looking forward to
the move. I did manage to sneak up there for a week or so without
setting of any alarms and did get to see my brothers (Alex &
Chris) in some skits and songs during Open House a few weeks ago.
Hopefully we'll be seeing you soon! www.ronjax2000.com
Katy (Everhart) Lewis, Class of 1982, 4636 Rapid Forge
Road, Bainbridge, OH 45612, After graduation I attended nursing
school in Springfield. Graduated from nursing school in 1985.
Returned home and worked at GAMC until 1990. Since 1990 I have
worked at the Highland County Health Department. I guess I'll
probably retire from here. Life's been good. I met my husband on a
blind date at the 1984 Highland County fair. We were married 11
months later. Chris is a CPA and grew up in Hillsboro. We have
three children, Ethan (14), Erin (11) and Evan (7). We live in an
old farm house, which is a work in progress, but I love it. Chris
is a travel bug so I've been to a lot of places. I always love
coming back home though. I've not been able to attend any of our
reunions but I do miss everyone. Hope to hear from you soon. God
bless. levmeb_kate@yahoo.com

and plans on becoming a naval officer. We have a nice house on three
acres in the middle of Kentucky's Bluegrass region and we hope to never
leave it. We do get back to Greenfield two or three times a year though.
I guess it will always be home. I'd love to hear from old friends (or
enemies) so drop me a line at

Joy Graves Pence, Class of 1980, 13286
McWilliams Rd., Greenfield, Ohio 45123, After graduation I tried to live
in the big city of Columbus and go to college but I got homesick, so I
returned to Greenfield and received my business degree from OU in
Chillicothe. I married Jeff Jury in 1983 and we have two beautiful
daughters, Sara, 13 and Hannah, 9. I divorced Jeff in 1995. I am now
married to Jeff Pence who works in maintenance at Greenfield Schools. I
have been at Weller's Plumbing & Heating for 22 years. We are active
at Trinity Christian Union Church and we love to garden. I was wondering
if anyone has heard from Kim Clouse? joy@wellertech.com
Dawn M. Greene, Class of 1989, 723 1/2 Jefferson Street, Greenfield,
Ohio 45123, After graduation, I moved to Richmond, KY and attended EKU for four years.
I graduated Cum Laude with a BA in Paralegal Science. I have been working for
Rose & Dobyns Co. L.P.A. in Wilmington, Ohio, ever since then. I specialize in
real estate and probate. I am also a part owner in a title company called Trico
Title & Escrow Agency, Inc. I'm not married yet and I don't have any children
mostly due to the fact that I've been extremely career driven and maybe slightly addicted
the carefree single life. It was really great to find this website and to find out
where everyone is. Hopefully, I can get to reconnect with many of you.

Matthew J. Greene, Class of 1986, 2423 S. Holland-Sylvania Rd. #
68, Maumee, OH 43537, (419) 865-9396, After graduation in 1986 I attended Hocking Tecnical
College. I majored in Forestry, and Recreation and Wildlife Management. I
attended Hocking College from fall quarter 1986 through winter quarter 1989.
I went from there to a job in north eastern Indiana. I
worked for eight months as an outdoor education instructor/camp counselor. The camp
is named High Hope Camp. The camp is located on Clear Lake in Stueben County.
After I left the camp I worked part time for Greenfield Printing
and Publishing (Banta Pub.). I worked in the bindery, and the mail room.
I then enlisted in the US Army. I started basic training
November 6th 1990 at Fort Knox Kentucky. I went to Fort Harrison near Indianapolis
for my job training. I worked the rest of my time in service as a Personnel
Administration Specialist (kind of like Radar in M.A.S.H). I went back to Fort Knox
to work in the Reception Station. I then spent my final year in the service in
Korea. Korea was very interesting. I made quite a few friends in Korea.
After my enlistement ended I came home for about a month. I
then moved to Toledo with a friend from college. I have been working for the same
company for a little over five years now. The company is BAX Global. We deal
in air freight. The operation is very similar to Airborne Express. Presently I
am working in the international freight department.

Cindy (Oyer) Gregg, Class of 1982, 3308 Sherwood Drive,
Lafayette, IN 47909, 765-477-7112, Following graduation I married Mark
(Tony) Gregg on June 19th, 1982. As we approach our 20th anniversary
it has been for us a year of reflection. You see our oldest Mark will
graduate from Lafayette Central Catholic JR-Sr. High School on June 2nd,
2002. It is hard to believe. He is a wonderful young man who enjoys
playing tennis and baseball. Our daughter Ashley is a freshman at
Lafayette Jefferson high school and enjoys cheerleading, gymnastics and
track. Ashley has been taking gymnastics classes since she was 7 and is
currently a Level 8 USAG gymnast as well as a great asset to the
Broncho's gymnastics program as MVP this year. As you can probably tell
we are very proud of both of the children. Tony is still employed at
Western-Southern life Ins. Co. out of Cincinnati as he has been for the
past 21 years. His position at W&S was the reason for our move to
Lafayette in 1992. We could not have found a better place to raise a
family. After staying at home doing various odd jobs while the kids were
younger I can say moving to Lafayette has also been a great place for me
to have found a career. During our time here I worked at Lafayette
Central Catholic for 7 years as the Asst. Manager of the Cafeteria, Bus
Driver, Cheerleading Coach, Athletic Secretary, Front Office Secretary
and Administrative Asst. to the Asst. Principal/Athletic Director. As
you can see I think I did just about all I could do at CC. After
coaching gymnastics part time I decided to leave CC and coach full time.
I am now the Manager and Head Coach at Malones Gymnastics Center. I
coach/teach ages 3- Level 9. I enjoy my job very much. These young
ladies are the future leaders of tomorrow. It is my belief that they are
learning life lessons and gymnastics at our facility. Oh and I forgot, I
am also the head coach of the Lafayette Jefferson Broncho's (2 years). A
Class 4A school with an enrollment of 2300 students. We recently
qualified to regionals for the first time in 10 years!! GO BRONCHO'S!! I
look forward to the 20 year reunion this year and hope that we can
attend. cgregg99@yahoo.com
Theresa (Hadley) Staten, Class of 1984, 724 N.
Washington St., Greenfield, OH 45123, Hard to believe it has been
20 years! Where does the time go? After high school I went to Rio
Grande for two years, where I met Rusty (he is from Wellston). He
is a corrections officer at Pickaway (Orient) and has been there
18 years. We married in 1988. I worked as a legal secretary in
Columbus for six years. In 1992 We decided that Columbus wasn’t
the place to raise kids (at that time we had two girls and had a
boy on the way), so we moved back to Greenfield. After our son was
born, I started my own business so I could be at home for my kids.
What did I do? What else…typing (I was also an EMT for two
years). I did medical transcription for ten years before carpal
tunnel got the best of me. I am now enrolled at OU-C and have
applied to the nursing program (I want to do home health and
hospice). Rus and I are very involved with music at church,
especially with helping other churches get their music ministries
up and going and with the Emmaus community. We also sing in a
quartet with my brother (Jeff) and his wife…we sing here and
there at other churches and some festivals. In my spare time (ha!)
I LOVE to cook & bake (my latest accomplishment is perfecting
my crčme horns...yum), and Rus and I cook together quite a bit
(Chinese & Mexican are our favorites).
The kids are growing too fast! My step-daughter, Danielle, is
19 and is studying interior design. Liz is a Freshman, Elicia is
in 8th, and Terry is in 6th. They are all in the band (Trumpet,
percussion and sax, respectively), and both of the girls will be
5-year marching band members like some of us were. ROOT!
Hated missing the reunion, but we had to sing at a festival
that evening. Heard is was great! Would love to hear from you! rtstaten@adelphia.net UPDATE:
Theresa (Hadley) Staten, Class of 1984, A lot has
happened since my last post! I did get accepted into the Nursing
Program and will graduate this June with my RN. My goal is to
work in the ER at Adena in Chillicothe and possibly obtain
certification as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner. I’ll finish up
my Bachelor’s with a minor in psych while I’m working. After 10
years or so I still plan to transition into hospice…it’s a
calling. We’re still doing the music thing, and currently Rusty
is the Music Minister at Fruitdale UMC. All three of our kids
(who are now 14, 16 & 17) play the guitar, and two of them play
regularly with Rus on Sunday mornings. We no longer sing with
Jeff and his wife…they are divorced. He has recently remarried
and all is well. Would love to hear from old friends! New e-mail
address is

4/28/07, UPDATE:
Theresa (Hadley) Staten, Class of 1984, I finished nursing
school and passed my boards! I'm officially an RN now and love
every minute of it! Liz is a senior and just returned from
Europe where she performed with an honor band in several
countries. Elicia is a junior and just got her license. The
girls are at the state fair singing in the Youth Choir. Terry is
a freshman, gets better every day on his guitar, and is very
active with New Directions. Rus and I have been married for 19
years, and he has worked at the Prison for 21. All is well. Now
that I'm out of school and have time for a normal life, I
finally have time to keep in touch with more of you!
statens@roadrunner.com,
and yes, I have a myspace so I can keep up on what the kids are
into...

Jenny (Gregg) Haley, Class of
1983, Sabina, Ohio, After graduation, I married, worked in Greenfield
for six years, divorced and moved to Wash. Court House. I worked at Mac Tools for six years, which is where I met my
husband Dean. We have three
beautiful children, Chelsie, 11 years, Chase, 9 years and Charleigh
Caitlyn, 19 months. Our
children attend East Clinton schools, which pains me that they are an
"Astro" instead of a "Wildcat" (Buckskin) or
"Tiger". After Mac Tools, I took a position with CBS
Personnel Services in Wilmington, OH and was Branch Manager for 3 years.
My business experience I gained over the years enabled me to
accept a teaching position at Washington Senior High School as the Jobs
for Ohio's Graduates instructor. This position was very rewarding and
fulfilling as a I worked with "at-risk" kids.
I held this position for two years before becoming a stay at home
mom. It was a tough
decision leaving my teaching job, however I felt my priorities were to
be at home with my children. Our
son Chase suffers from Autism and I have spent most of my time at home
researching neurological brain dysfunctions. For more info please visit www.autism.org. You may see me
passing through Greenfield occasionally on my way to mom and dad's, who
still live on Salem Road. I
enjoy spending time with my family, crafting and camping. I would love
to eventually return to the education field in a counseling capacity,
however for now I very content spending time with my children,
especially the baby. I'll keep you posted. Our home church is Heritage
Memorial in Wash. Court House and we visit World Harvest Church (Pastor
Rod Parsely) in Columbus several times a month.
Please feel free to contact me as I would enjoy hearing from
friends and classmates. jenhly@yahoo.com

attending various sporting events, family and friends. We love the

Franklin Ave., Union, Ohio 45322, 937-836-8401, Hi Greenfield, This summer (2000)
marks my class of 85's 15year reunion, which I hope is the best yet! I enjoyed the 4th of
July celebration in 99. I attended the Tigerette breakfast which was really fun. I got to
hear Mr. Cruise give his excellent tour of the school, and the shoe factory field was a
"hot one". I really enjoyed the Gathering at the dance sat. night. Seeing a wide
range of McClain graduates was really worth while. Larry Stewart (81) was my high school
sweetheart, and we were married 10 years. Four years ago, we divorced and are the best of
friends to this day. We share our dog, "Roxy". She was our only child! I am a
Corporate Buyer for A.O. Smith Electrical Products, in Tipp City, Ohio. I travel about
every 3 weeks, from Minnesota, Tennessee, to Mexico. I traveled to our 15 plants in Juarez
& Monterrey MX, 8 times in 99. I really love it there. The great weather and the many
friends I have draw me to that area. My parents still live in Greenfield, so I get to come
back monthly. I have 2 Associate Degrees, and will finish by Bachlors in 5 semisters at
WPAFB in Logistics Mgmt. I own my home in Union, a small town northwest of Dayton. Looking
forward to seeing my classmates this summer. Take Care everyone. "SMILE"
Tigerettes! Its a great thing to practice and you can use it the rest of your life!

UPDATE: Christina Stewart,
Class of 1985, 611 Franklin Ave, Union, OH 45322, Revised:7/2001, Hello
classmates! Just wanted to update my email, and update my Bio.
I still am a Corp. Buyer for A.O. Smith in Tipp City, OH. I am
traveling a lot to Mexico and around the U.S. I graduate with my Bachelor's
in Logistics MGMT on November 18, 2001! YEAH! I can't wait.
Last Sept. 30th was our 15 yr reunion, and it was one of the best nights,
at least for me! I found one of my old buddies again from 9th and
10th grade. We were Lockers and Classroom Buddies. Tim Ross.
We started dating right after the reunion, and are going strong still.
He brings me back to Highland county almost every weekend. What a
treasure he is... I am very fortunate. The next 6 months are going to be
wild and crazy for me, but I feel it will all be worth while come 2002!
Hope to see some of you at Homecoming Football Game. cstewart@aosepc.com,
UPDATE: Christina Hall Ross, Class
of 1985, 8159 Stoney Point Rd., Hillsboro, OH 45133, Since my last
update, my classmate Tim Ross and I, have been married 1 year and
2 months. We are truly a great match. Funny how life takes you
different places through careers, and other people, yet brings you
back home to where you fit best. I love being a mom (step-mom to
his boys), my only problem is we don't get them enough. Shared
parenting is very hard, but very good for the children. Our little
farm is cute, and we are starting to get involved in our hometown
once again. Look... for Tim Ross' name out there in the real
estate world soon, because he should get his license by spring 04.
He will make a great customer service Agent! downacountrylanefarm@earthlink.net,
UPDATE: Christina
Hall Ross, Class of 1985, March 2006, Tim and I are getting
ready to celebrate the 1st birthday of our daughter Madalyn Marie
Lidia Ross. She has been a wonderful, joyful addition to our
family. The boys are crazy over her and all our family, friends
and neighbors have been great in supporting us in this effort. She
was born in Guatemala and was placed into heart at 20 days old and
into our arms at 6-1/2 months old. What a blessing she has been
and is to anyone who meets her. Tim is busy with real estate...I
am working at FERNO as a Senior Buyer. Boys are growing.. and soon
will be on their own. As I turned 39 this last month...the only
good thing I could say is I have a 11mo old daughter (at least
it's not a 11mo old grandchild!) Go Tigers!

Andrea Head Wilson, Class of 1986, Hello
everyone. I guess you could say I'm definitely a Greenfield girl at
heart...I NEVER LEFT! I currently live at 523 McClain Avenue in
Greenfield. I went to college for about a year and a half at the Ohio
University Branch in Chillicothe, so I still lived at home at that time.
Then, I met Jimmy Wilson...he moved down here from Dayton in 1985. I
quit college, and started working for Greenfield Printing and
Publishing, so Jimmy and I could get married in 1988...and of course, we
lived in Greenfield. When I found out I was going to have my first son,
I decided to go back to college...and graduated from Wright State
University with a bachelor's degree in secondary education in
1995...still living in Greenfield and driving back and forth for
college. I worked as a math teacher for East Clinton High School (I
drove from Greenfield) for 8 years...and now, believe it or not, I'm
back at McClain High School (I took over Dale Schraw's job in 2006). I
have 2 sons, both of which attend school in Greenfield...Jacob is now a
junior and Tommy is in the fourth grade. Jimmy and I didn't last...we
got divorced in 2004, but we're still good friends. And since then, I
have been concentrating on my kids and my career. I am currently
finishing up my master's degree in educational leadership from Dayton
University...anticipated graduation date is Summer 2008! I would love to
hear from everyone.

Hillsboro. We've worked hard and fixed up a real "fixer-upper".
Randy worked for his family trucking business for 12 years then after it
closed in 1996, he began working for R and L Carriers in Wilmington.
He is a truckload driver and has a regular route that takes him to
Monroe, Oxford, Middletown, Lebanon, area everyday. I began
working at what was then known as 1st Security Bank in 1985. I
opened my own craft shop in 1988. It was in business for 12 years.
In 2000, I opened my own child care business, focusing on our nations
most precious resource, its children. We have been blessed with 2
beautiful daughters, Kristen Noelle was born in 1987 and Emmy Lee was
born in 1990. Both girls are very active in church activities,
4-H, and sports. It's been a real challenge cheering for our red and
white Hillsboro Indian basketball player. Most all our free time is
devoted to our children, but someday we hope to have some free time to
just sit down, and relax on our back porch. Feel Free to contact us, or
just stop by, our door is always open to our "old friends". heartofthecountry@in-touch.net
Greg "Chip" Johnson, Class of 1985, 435 H.C.R. 4434,
Itasca, TX 76055, 254-687-2595, Hello all. It's really nice to see
Greenfield finally on the map. Anyway, I'm sure there will be a few
surprised people to see me on here. Those of you that know me anyway. I
really am glad to see how Greenfield is growing. There just wasn't
anything there when we were kids. First off, I want to say hi to all my
old friends and thank them for befriending me. I wasn't exactly the
nicest person growing up. Anyway, although I got off to a rough start,
I'd like to believe that it was all destiny. I ended up at the end of my
wicket ways coming out with a BA in psychology/sociology. I'm currently
working towards a masters in clinical psychology. I've had several
different jobs since graduating from college. Case manager at Scioto
Paint Valley Mental Health Center, left that for a social service
director job in the geriatric field. Very interesting and depressing.
The nursing facility sold so we left there and found ourselves here in
Texas. I'm currently working in a large corporation doing community
relations. Basically eating lunches with doctors is my job. Tough job,
ha ha. Hoping to earn an MA next year and open a private practice . So
who's the we; that would be my high school sweetie Lisa Sutherland,
class of 84'. We have a 16 year old son named Andrew. I also have two
other children that I never get to see. Although I think of them all the
time. Lisa and I also have an extended family that consist of 1 dog, 1
cat, 9 chickens, 4 goats, 2 cows, 1 horse, 1 donkey and a pond full of
goldfish. Drop us a line sometime. Would love to know about the
reunions. We come home about every 4 or 5 months. ROCKINGJRANCH@HILLSBORO.NET

Class of 1982, 4013A 168th St NE, Arlington, Wa 982223, Where do I start?
Well, after graduation I joined the Ohio Army National Guard as an Infantryman and worked
at Greenfield Foods. After several years and jobs I decided to make a break for it and I
joined the Navy Seabee's. I have been in the Navy since 1987 and will make it a career, as
I love my job and the travel is awesome. I have been to places most people only dream
about. Let me tell you though, Dorthy was right: There is no place like home. I still try
to make it back to Greenfield as often as I can. I have spent my entire 12 plus years
stationed on the west coast, 10 years in California and now 2 plus years here in
Washington. I wish I could send you some of our rain, as I am really getting tired of it.
You know the old saying though: The rain in Spain, falls mostly in Seattle. I married
Robbin Dorschel in Feb. 87 and have 2 wonderful kids, Brittany Lynn-12 and Jack Daniel-7.
Both of our parents reside in Greenfield as well as most of our families. Or at least
within walking distance, o.k. maybe biking distance. Well I guess that's about it, if
anyone would like to contact me please feel free to do so. Between the hours of 0545-0615
pst or 1745-2100 pst M-TH. Just kidding. Take care all. seabee_drj@hotmail.com,
UPDATE: Daniel
R Jones, Class of 1982, Where to start? Well I have divorced and
taken custody of my son. We are now living in Washington state and I
am stationed at SUBASE Bangor Public Works Department. I have 3 years
remaining until I retire from the Navy and will return home to build
my house. I own 5 acres outside of town and cannot wait to finish up
here and get started on my new life. I recently returned from
Kuwait/Iraq where I participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Everyday
I tell myself how lucky I am to have my freedoms and enjoy our great
lives here. Since 9/11 everything changed and will never be the same,
but life goes on. Please feel free to e-mail me and maybe catch up on
old times. Would love to hear from anyone back home, maybe even get
some good leads on future job prospects. Until then take care and
always remember: Freedom is not Free. seabeedrj@hotmail.com UPDATE:
Daniel R. Jones, Class of 1982, 3055 Albacore

will be getting married AUG 6th. That will add another 3 to our
family, as she has 2 beautiful daughters. I have been to and seen a
lot of wonderful places in my life, but am now ready to return home
and let the younger generation take over the defense of this great
nation. It is, has and will always be a great honor to serve the
people of these United States. Take care, stay safe and always

having a 14 year anniversary in April. We have a beautiful 10 year old daughter, Sammie

don't really have a full-time career, because I like being around for
her and her school activities. I clean our local Post Office and work as
a volunteer at Sammie's school. I feel that being around for your
children is a very important job with many rewards. I was very surprised
to find this website and wasn't sure about submitting my bio. I think
it's great to look back & see what everybody has been up to and see
who remembers you and if anyone responds. So, if you remember me and

This is a great web site isn't it? Well since I have graduated
from McClain I married my son Justin's father and we had a
daughter to complete the package. Justin will be going back to
school at Paint Valley this coming school year as a Senior! and
Kelley will be going into the 8th grade. Greg and I have been
together 19 years now, about 4 years ago he finally built me a new
home ( he is a carpenter and built for other people). As for me I
worked at Greenfield research for about 5 years after I was out of
school, then took some time off after Kelley was born, had a
couple part time jobs then worked at YSK in Chillicothe for 5
years (best job I ever had) I was working there for the benefits
when my husband got into the carpenters union and so I quit there
to become "Soccer mom" although the kids didn't stay in
one thing for any too long a time. Kelley wants to do everything!
Now I work at Value Added Business (again) doing ecommerce sales.
Its pretty convenient Mon-Fri 9-5. Its interesting plus I get to
play on the internet at work so that's a plus! I also work at Kohl's
Dept store in Chillicothe one weekend a month (for the discount)
so if your around look for me at the customer service desk. Was
really glad to read about some of my old class mates any one who
wants to email a hi can do so at knisley02@yahoo.com
and I will answer you back! So is anyone thinking of the 20 year
class reunion? I would like to know of any Plans for that. Thanks!

Jennifer (Miley) Johnson, Class of 1988, Greenfield, Ohio
45123, In 1987, I married David Matthews and our beautiful daughter was
born in 1988. We named her Heather Rochelle. In August of 1988 I
began working at the Greenfield Area Medical Center as a ward secretary
at the medical desk. I worked with a lot of wonderful people who hold a
very special place in my heart. My marriage to David did not work out,
and we were divorced in December of 1988. All things work out for the
best because I met my best friend and the love of my life in early 1990.
His name is Perry. Perry graduated from Miami Trace in 1986. We were
married in December 1990, which is when I quit my job at GAMC to be a
stay at home mother. Perry and I proceeded to add to our family, by
having three more children. Taylor, Katie Elizabeth, and Hannah Noelle
were born in 1991, 1995, and 1999 respectively. Perry adopted Heather in
1994. My husband and I renewed our marriage vows in 2001, and we have
never been happier. Heather will be 15 years old in January. She is a
freshman at McClain and recently went to the Homecoming dance. Our son
Taylor is 11 years old and an honor roll student in the 5th grade. Katie
is 7 years old and in the 1st grade. Katie is very talented in
gymnastics. Hannah turned 3 years old this past July. Just like her
sister Katie, Hannah is very good at gymnastics. Hannah was supposed to
begin nursery school in September but she had a serious ear injury in
August so she was unable to go this year. It has been great hearing from
so many people, and I would love to hear from more of you soon. You can
E-mail me at JennieJohnson911@hotmail.com
Tobi
Miley, MHS Class of 1985. I currently live in Summerville, S.C., with my wife
Christine (Nazario). I met her down here through our work. I am currently the assistant
manager at Waldenbooks. Christine and I are expecting our first child in early January of
99. Also down here is Tom Rooks who graduated from McClain in 1986. Tom and I had
previously shared an apartment in Columbus, Ohio. I really couldnt explain what
brought either of us to this place, but Im really glad I came as Ive met the
love of my life. After our baby is born, Christine and I are planning to move back to the
Greenfield area to be near my family. I was rather surprised when I picked up a copy of
Web Bound at work and saw a web page for Greenfield. Especially since no one
has ever heard of Greenfield. You know what I mean: Where are you from?
Greenfield. Wheres that? Have you ever heard of
Hillsboro, Chillicothe or W.C.H.? Yeah, I know where those are.
Greenfields pretty much in between them all. Never heard of
it. Well, thats about it. I can be e-mailed at tobimiley@webtv.net.
UPDATE Tobi Miley, Class of 1985, To
update my last posting, Christine gave birth to our beautiful, wonderful, amazing SON
(Tobias David Miley) on Dec 8th 1998. He came exactly 1 month early. He was 5 lbs 4 oz and
18 inches long. Christine suffered from pre-eclaympsia. I almost lost them both. Both are
doing fine now. Tobias is now 15 lbs 10 oz and 26 and 1/4 long. We have decided to stay
down here for a while. I am in the process of finding a new, better paying job. Our
life is pretty good(it took long enough). Hope everyone else is doing fine. tobimiley@webtv.net,
UPDATE: Tobi
Miley, Class of 1985, Here is an update. Christine and I have
been married for 6 years now on May 8th 2004. Besides Tobias
David(5) we now have Rebekah Eileen who will be 2 on July 10th. I
am now the General Manager for Books-A-Million in Charleston and
my Wife is an ophthalmic technician for a private practice in Mt.
Pleasant. It's hard to believe that 19 years have passed since I
graduated from MHS. I would love to hear from some of my old
friends like Roger McCoy, Craig Wisecup, Robb Hamilton, Robin
Gingerich or any of the other people I went to school with. I'm
about to come home for a vacation and I really feel a pang for the
old hometown. I know it's changed a lot since I lived there, but
it was such a great place to grow up back in the day. There are so
few "small towns" now that the memories of Greenfield
are that much more bittersweet. Greenfield was such a
"safe" and "comforting" town back then. Of
course that could just be the hazy memory of long ago. How much
more simple does the days of 45's and Atari seem now? Our kids
will never know the joys of a record player or an 8 track tape. I
so miss the days when all we had to worry about was getting home
in time for dinner or the excitement we had for the Countrie Towne
Festival. I miss Greenfield the way it was and I miss the friends
I had growing up. Trying to recapture it is like trying to hold
mercury in your hands. Not only is it impossible but it can be
dangerous as well. As much as I love my life now, my wife and
kids, I long to feel the way I did then, full of hope and longing
for the days ahead. Treasure your memories and know that you grew
up or lived in some place special.

where I met my wife Nicole. Having completed my military enlistment, I enrolled in
the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Nicole and I have spent the last few years working
part-time while attending school full-time. We have just recently finished our
schooling and started work in our career fields. We continue live well and enjoy
ourselves in Fairbanks. However, I often reflect on my youth and miss the warmth of
my hometown. I feel fortunate to have grown up in a tight-nit community such as
Greenfield, and hope to reacquaint myself with everyone this summer, see ya soon. Email to

Cindy Narcross, Class of 1981,
10712 Pausch Road, Leesburg, OH 45135, 937-780-6313, Hello All! I
lived in Greenfield the first 18 years of my life, then Columbus/Grove
City the next 14 years going to college and working at Ohio State
College of Medicine as an administrative secretary in the transplant
department, now I'm home to stay. I have a beautiful, funny,
talented, 10-year-old daughter, Katey, who is the joy and torment of my
life, but I would never trade her. When I started thinking about
coming home, both of my grandparents had died and the family was trying
to decide what to do with their home in the country. The timing
was perfect and here I am. I am working at Airborne Express, just
recently promoted to Logistic Services Coordinator, which is really an
assistant/office manager to the Sr. Director and Sales staff, as well as
coordinator of conferences, catering, housekeeping, security, etc, etc.
Logistics Services is Airborne's warehousing/distribution area, where we
store mostly e-commerce inventory, take orders, pick it, pack it and
ship it.! It's big business and it's a big job, but I'm loving it.
I'm also a Girl Scout leader for 22 4th, 5th, and 6th graders and we've
just started cookie sales and I'm the cookie manager, so if you need any
cookies, let me know. I'd love to hear from you anytime.
Haven't made the time to keep up with all of my friends from the area,
but I'm going to. Life is too short. clnarf@yahoo.com

Stephanie Pearce Burke,
Class of 1987, 212 Bellemeade Road, Louisville, KY 40222, It's
nice to see that this website is growing, and it's always to nice to
hear from old friends. After graduation, I attended Ohio Northern
University, where I received my bachelor's degree in criminal justice
and political science in 1991, and my law degree in 1994. I then moved
to Louisville, Kentucky, and began my career. I first worked as a Staff
Attorney (glorified law clerk) for the Jefferson Family Court, one of
the most progressive domestic relations Court's in the country. Later, I
served a brief stint as an Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney,
prosecuting narcotics cases, before I moved on to private practice and
joined The O'Koon Law Firm. After seven years with that firm, I resigned
my partnership, and opened my own practice in December of 2002. This was
the best career move I ever made, and I am really enjoying being
"self-employed". I currently practice in the areas of criminal
defense and family law, particularly dealing with child abuse and
neglect matters. I've tried several cases, ranging from misdemeanor
theft, DUI, Rape, to Murder. (Note: the Murder case did not go so well.)
I also recently became certified in family mediation, and I intend to
expand my practice by acting as a court-appointed mediator. On a more
personal note, I was married on August 18, 2001, to Dennis Clay Burke.
The wedding was here in Louisville, and I was very thankful that so many
of my friends and family from Greenfield could be here. It was a great
weekend. Cari Barr and Hannah Clyburn (now Vaughan) were bridesmaids,
and they were both beautiful. I'm sure my Mom would show you the
pictures if you call her, Ha!) I now have an eight year old
step-daughter named Maria, and she just started second grade. For those
of you who know me well, ELVIS LIVES, and he's ten years old now. We all
try to come to Greenfield as often as possible to visit my Mom and
Dad....and I can't wait until our next reunion (Dennis really enjoyed
the last one!) pearceburke@yahoo.com

Betsy
Reeves, MHS Class of 1989. After graduating from Greenfield in 89, I went to
Ohio University. I attended OU for five years and would have stayed longer but I had
already taken all the whitewater rafting, kayak and bowling classes they offered, so I
graduated in 1994 with a degree in aviation. Planning on using my degree to the fullest, I
left my job at the Harley Davidson/Yamaha dealership in Athens where I had worked for
three years earning extra money for school. I moved back home with my parents and started
working at Airborne. That lasted about a month. Then I moved to West Palm Beach, Fla., and
started working for Picerne Development, a real estate development and management company.
I now manage one of their apartment communities in West Palm. I am engaged to be married
to John Miller, who also attended OU. John is from Canal Winchester (just east of
Columbus) and graduated from OU in 1993. He is an electrical engineer and works for Omron
Electronics. Nine months ago, we became parents of a bouncing baby boy. We named him
Skipper because he loved chasing tennis balls into the water at the beach. Skipper is now
a full-grown Golden Retriever, weighing in at 78 pounds! I can hardly believe my 10-year
class reunion will be next year. Hello to everyone! You can contact me at BetsyandJohn@classic.msn.com or 1401

Graduated as an RN in 1993 and married my husband Randy (a Cincinnati

time... EVER! We decided we needed some time together and left for
Europe that August. We backpacked and stayed at youth hostels from
Scotland to Greece. When we returned, Randy got a job offer from
Chillicothe VA Hospital and we took it. We have moved "back
home" and just love it. I am working at Jewish Hospital as a Bone
Marrow Transplant nurse. Cap Pitcher is the reason for that. I
previously worked as a Hospice Nurse for 5 years and met some people of
uncommon courage and faith. Randy and I still do not have any babies,
but we have been approved for adoption and keep hoping. We will soon be
moving to the old Lucas Farm in Petersburg...and with 5 bedrooms, I sure
hope we can fill them!! Would love to see another generation of my
family go to beautiful McClain. Hope to see you for 15-year reunion

found on-line. I've often wondered how everyone's lives have turned out. I'm glad to see
how well everyone is doing. After years of wondering what life was really about, I finally
settled into a wonderful life. My husband and best friend Harry, whom I've been
married to for 7 years is the best thing that has happened to me. We met at
Airborne. I quit last year and decided to take a course in Medical Transcribing, and it
paid off. I am working out of my home and loving it. We have a nice home in a small town
in Clarksville. Harry has two children (28 & 26). Together we have two wonderful
dogs (Sam & Peaches). Life is good. And when I can fit into that size 6
once again, life will be perfect. ragkat@in-touch.net

Randy Tackett, Class of 1989, Pickerington, OH
43068. I was thinking about some of my former classmates and decided to
do a search to track them down. Unfortunately I didn't actually graduate
from McClain. I was supposed to graduate in 1989 but my family moved
away before I got to start high school. I saw some names that I
definitely remember in the list. It's good to see so many people
apparently doing so well. I am now married with a little girl and
another one on the way. I work as a System Engineer (computers) for a
large insurance company in the city. I still have family that lives in
the Washington Court House area. It was nice to see this site. randyt@wowway.com

(Trefz) Pennewitt, Class of 1988, 3194 Hales Branch Road,
Midland, Ohio 45148, After High School I attended Rets Tech Center in
Centerville, Oh for 2 yrs., receiving an Associates degree in Computer
Science Tech. During that two yrs. I worked part time at Johnson
Controls and Kaluau. After that I worked for the company I am currently
with in WCH, Oh., only 4 company names ago. (Mid-Ohio, Vigoro, IMC, and
currently Royster-Clark Inc.) In 1995 I was introduced to my husband at
the wedding of Buffy Shanks. (set-up deal, Thanks Buffy) We married in
Aug. of 1996. We currently have no children but hope to be blessed one
day. My husband is a graduate of Wilmington High School (I don't hold
that against him). He is also a graduate of Wilmington College. He has
worked with ABX for 14 and 1/2 yrs. We also farm approx. 100 acres. My
husband and I are currently the Youth Leaders at our church in Highland,
Oh. (pretty scary huh!) We love the kids so very much and love to hang
out with them. You can reach me by E-mail at tlpennewitt@farmarket.com
hope to here from you.
Heidi E. Smith (Trent), Class
of 1988, Fair warning; it's been 20 years so this is going to be long!
Where does time go? 20 years! Soon after graduation, I fled Greenfield
and followed my heart to a Columbus suburb, Hilliard where I lived for
less than a year and worked for almost 6 (Medex, Inc., a medical parts
manufacturer) where I worked my way from assembly to Recruiting. It was
my first "real" job. I later left for a better job and more money with
Price Waterhouse (later merged and now called PriceWaterhouseCoopers),
an accounting firm. I worked there in HR for about 5 years then onto
working with the Regional L&E after the merge, where I enjoyed a lot of
travel and working independent! This firm gave me my greatest
opportunities and my first plane trip at the ripe ol' age of 26. Yes, I
was 26 the first time! Unfortunately (& fortunately), I lost my job in
2001 due to major cutbacks (1100 people slashed and not rare as many
Democratic companies adjusted after Bush took office...Note: I'm mostly
Republican, just stating facts ;) and have since been fortunate enough
to remain a full-time stay@home Mom for going on 6 years. Even though I
miss my job dearly, loosing my job was a blessing in disguise. Cody just
turned 14 and Noah is now 7 and we are having a ball! We have three
dogs; Zeus, Nestle and Fred. Chad & I have been together for going on 16
years and we finally tied the knot in 2002. Chad is a wonderful, kind
hearted, lovely man and I'm fortunate to be with him. We bought our
little home in Grove City shortly after Cody turned 2 and have been here
since. I lost my father to lung cancer in May of 1992 and just lost Mom
this past January (the worst pain I've ever felt and still miserable).
My little sister Jenny is living with her lover down the street and she
just turned 22 years old! 6/4/07
I sure hope everyone is in good health and happy. I do think of the old
times from now and then and just laugh at some of the stuff we use to
do! Who knows, perhaps our paths will cross again someday. I want to
thank all the people who added to my life, the joy, the lessons, all of
it. Take care all. RIP Mom, Janice Lee Trent & Dad, Robert William

John Vandergriff, Class of 1989,
9331 Overland Way, San Antonio, Texas 78254, Had my family remained in
the Rainsboro area I would have graduated with my friends in the class
of 1989. Looking through this site I haven't found any of them.
In 1983 my dad moved us to Cincinnati, then to Chicago where I graduated
from Palatine HS. In 1990 I enlisted in the Air Force and served
as a counter-intelligence analyst for eight years. I served in the
Gulf War while I was stationed in Germany. While in Germany I
became a Little League baseball coach and coached the German team in the
Junior League World Series in Taylor Michigan. In 1994 I was moved
to San Antonio, TX where I met my wife Susan. I am now working as
a consultant with the Army Medical Command in San Antonio. I am
looking to make contact with any Rainsboro elementary students from my
class (Todd, Jon, Val, Jennifer, Rhonda, Tony). Later! jaws9331@aol.com

2133
Julian Westmoreland Dr., Martin, GA 30557, 706-779-3184, I graduated 1984, from McClain. I
graduated a year early, couldn't stand the thought of another year of English.(lol) I
moved to Newark,Ohio and worked for Big Bear and Harts Family Center as an Apprehender
(Caught Shoplifters) I then was offered a job at Woodland Lake Resort as main gate
Security officer. Worked a couple of months then moved to Georgia, went to work for
Vermont American Corp. made sawblades, for sears,and other companies. Met my husband of 10
years in that plant. Girls I got the last real man, just kidding... He's very special to
me. We have 16 year old Michelle who will be a junior next year, 14 year old Greg who I
hope one day won't make me think all these gray hairs I am getting were for nothing. Yes,
Michelle and Greg are from my husbands first marriage, but I claim them they have been in
my home and in my life since they were two and four. We have a daughter Amber LaDawn Moore
who is 7 and just recently we added Benjamin Michael to our hearts and home, born November
23,1999...I now manage apartment complexes, I currently have 24 units and will be taking
on a couple more I'm sure in the next year or two as soon as I get this one out of the
hole it has fell into. Well take care. mrmoore@alltel.net
UPDATE: Debbie
Varner Moore, Class of 1984, P.O. Box 814, Chapmanville, WV 25508,
304-855-7376, Well since my last bio, I have moved to the family farm.
My daughter Michelle is 19 now and in the National Guard. My son Greg
is 17 and is becoming a star football player. I know a medical bill is
coming. Lots of luck!. Amber is 9 and Benjamin is 2 will be three in
couple months. Me I am feeling old, the gray is coming in. I'm still
married to the most wonderful man. My sister Sherry is living in
Newark, Ohio, I try to visit with her at least once a month. She has
two beautiful girls. Allison is 12 and Meggie is 4 now. I was glad to
see some names from my past and glad to see that some still carry
their roots with them. Would love to hear from old school mates and
hope that wherever you go and whatever you do that you always do your
best. Life is short and gets shorter everyday, so take the time to
look around and see just what God has given us. And see what there is
that you can give back. mapavarner@inetone.net
UPDATE: Debbie
Varner Moore, Class of 1984, Louisville, Georgia 30434, Well 14
years of marriage, 16 years together, four kids later, am single
again. Sometimes life will make two people grow together or apart. Our
lives seemed to pull us apart, but we still remain friends which most
can not say after a divorce. So I'm doing good, I'm a Property Manager
in two counties here taking care of three complexes and will soon take
on my fourth. I live life one day at a time and i don't worry about
tomorrow, for tomorrow can take care of its self and requires no help
from me. My son Greg graduates this year from High School, Michelle is
getting married to long time boyfriend Scott Ray and together they
have given me my first grandbaby born in November 2003, she is
grandma's buddy, Destiny Marie is not spoiled, smiles..okay well maybe
a little. Amber is now 11 and a great student in school, Benjamin is
now 4, and i am starting to think he's my payback child, for all i
gave my parents. well that is my update, Sherry Varner Miller my
sister is doing great, she is finally getting to take her trip to
ENGLAND this April. The girls are growing up and although I don't get
to see them much, we still talk via computer and phone daily. Well
friends from past get in touch, life it seems is short, and although
there never seems to be enough time in one day and we tell ourselves
we will do it tomorrow, sometimes tomorrow never comes for some, so
take the time you will be glad you did. debramoore2003@hotmail.com
UPDATE: Debbie
Varner Miller, Class of 1984, Well I was checking out the site.
Got to reading my bio from three years ago and decided it was time
for an update. I still live in Georgia, I don't see that ever
changing. I remarried in 2003 to Kevin Miller. So my new brother in
law is Brad Everhart *laughs* he hasn't changed none. My children
have grown and time has went by very fast. Michelle never married.
She was in an abusive relationship and finally when she was ready
called me and she has been free for two years. She has two girls,
Hollee will be two in November and Destiny will be four. My son Greg
is in the Marines and stationed in NC, did one tour in Iraq and
hopefully for my sake he will not go back. That was the hardest year
I have spent in my life. No matter how old they become they are
still your children. He recently had me a Grandson, my first boy,
Payton was born August 30, 2007. Amber entered 9th grade this year
and Benjamin entered 2nd. Michelle has recently moved in with her
boyfriend which is an hour a way, but she has a good man this time
and I see her life changing. The girls adore Randy and all I can say
is. Thank God... I thank him for giving her the courage to walk
away. So many leave in body bags. I have zero tolerance for two
things..one violence and two drugs. My sister Sherry Varner still
lives in Newark, Ohio and her daughter is a senior this year. Meg is
growing like there is no tomorrow. My parents, like myself growing
older. They still live in the hills of WV and we go home as much as
we can. My new step children Kylie and Tyler are great kids. There
mother Melissa has done an awesome job. my new contact email is

Craig Wisecup, Class of 1985, A brief summary of what I've
been doing? whew... where do I start? I joined the Navy immediately
after graduation and saw the world. Since then I lived in TN for
12 years, and just came back to Ohio in 2001. I only made it back
to Greenfield just in March of 2004. I have 3 wonderful children
who are 17, 14, and 10. My 17 yr old is Matthew... and the poor
kid looks just like me when I graduated high school. I had always
hoped, for his sake, he would grow out of his close likeness to
his dear ol dad... though luckily he isn't as skinny as I was! I
was married just over 17 years, but last year went through a
divorce. Which is how I wound up in Greenfield. The most amazing
thing is that when I was a kid, Benny Zickafoose used to boss me
around on the playground. Now, I work for the guy! Will wonders
never cease? I'd love to hear from any and all of you out there. I
was gone so long from Greenfield I feel as if I hardly know anyone
here. But, life goes on, and so do I. Feel free to write me at cawisecup@yahoo.com.

Greenfield, Ohio 45133, 937-393-4684, Hello everyone. It was so nice to read
everyone's biographies... I've been very busy since high school. In 1991, I
moved to Hillsboro -- where I still live. I married Roderick (Rod) Daniels in 1993
and we have two beautiful children. Austin is 5 years old and Marissa Sue is 3
months old. I attended Southern State and Wilmington College and got my BA in
Sociology and Political Science. Took a year off in 1995 after our son was born,
then went to Capital University Law School. Graduated with honors and then took the
Ohio Bar Exam. Became licensed to practice in November, 1999 and joined Conrad
Curren's Law Office in Greenfield in December, 1999. I am also teaching as an
adjunct at Southern State in Hillsboro. Marissa was born in January. My
husband has been wonderfully supportive of my academic and professional endeavors.
He is a general contractor in Hillsboro (Daniels Construction) and also is a business
analyst/ consultant and runs the Small Business Development Center at Southern State
College. I have been so busy that I haven't taken the time to keep up with things in
Greenfield, so it's nice to see old classmates from time to time now that I'm working in
town regularly. Congratulations to everyone on your achievements. smdaniels@hotmail.com
