Name: Zione Walker-Nthenda E-mail address: zwalkernthenda@acmi.net.au Homepage: http://www.acmi.net.au Message: Hi,
Where do I begin? My sister just emailed me this site and Wow!! It's really brought back some memories. I was in YIS in '86 and '87 in grade 8 and 9 and It would be great to know what's happened to everyone.
I now live in Australia and I work as an Intellectual Property Lawyer with a Govt. Arts organisation called ACMI, specialising in artistic films and installations. It's new and it just opened in Melbourne's Federation Square, the biggest Art Precinct since the Sydney Opera house. It's fun and exciting and attempting to be cutting edge..
I would especially love to know what's happened to Mr Mee, an English teacher originally from Colorado, Shyoko Honiden, Christabel, Rasmus Johansen, Annette and Katie...Well everyone in the class of '90 really.
Good luck to everyone and best wishes.

Name: KAREN MARSON (SCOTT) E-mail address: karen_scott99@hotmail.com Message: I eventually got my divorce in March 02, after 8 yrs of marriage. Not an easy decision or time for me, but I'm through the other side!
I have 2 lovely kids, a little girl, Bethany who is 4 and starts school this September, and a wee boy Robbie who is 3. I manage to work p/t, and have to say I am enjoying life!
YIS is like a distant dream, I don't understand why the years pass so quickly. I would love to hear from anyone who knew me. Hope you are all well.Thursday, November 15th 2001 - 11:43:01 AM . . . . . Message # 4

Name: Paul Knowles E-mail address: paul.knowles@bigfoot.com Message: If I ever graduated from YIS, I would have done so in 1990.
I am now living just outside London and I'm working as a
statistcal programmer for GlaxoSmithKline. I worked in the
music industry for a couple of years before opting for an
easier longterm career in pharmaceuticals. My hobbies are
still pretty much the same as they were when I was a kid
growing up in Japan: beer and sport. I'm desperately trying
to get hold of a very old friend of mine from this class:
Yuichiro Kato. Has anyone heard from him in the last 10
years. If so, give me a shout. I'm still in touch with Gert-
Jan Pauli, who now lives in Madrid. Kayoko and Riki have
also been in touch. My memories of growing up in Yokohama
are fond ones and, if you ever get close to London, I'd
love to meet up with old friends over a beer. Take care
Class 90. All the best. Paul.Tuesday, March 13th 2001 - 01:46:12 PM . . . . . Message # 2
