| Comments: I drove through DE this weekend to visit friends in
Wilmington and could not believe that in September 2004 it will have been 20 years since checking in at Dickinson "D." Hello to all the friends I have not seen in years. A quick update since graduation... 1/89-5/90 - Dose of reality. Short stint in NYC with a publisher. 6/90-12/90 - Even shorter stint in CA writing for an engineering company. Thanks, Sqwalker, for giving me a place to crash in KC, KS (or was it MO?) 1/91-5/94 - Restaurant Mgr in Valley Forge and Princeton. 9/93 - Married, Eva. Getting close to ten years with my best friend. 6/94-12/95 - "Early-life" crisis. 1/96-6/99 - BSCE Ohio State. Going back to school was one of the greatest decisions I ever made. A great place to get an education and see a football game. The OSU Cheerleaders are STILL great gymnasts. BUT THEY STILL CAN'T CHEER AS WELL AS WE COULD. 7/99-present - Officer, USN, Civil Engineer Corps. Currently stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC. 6/2000 - Born, Grant Maxwell. This little guy is a rip. For all you parents out there, you know what I mean. All he does is smile and make friends (future cheerleader?). I'm sure he gets it from his mom. I wish everybody the best. I haven't made it back for homecoming in years but am looking forward to our 20th in 2008. Peace and Love, Andy |

Kristin has 3 children, Sarah is 7, Susannah is 5 and Luke 1 and lives in New Jersey along with Liz who also has 3 children, Jake 4, Julia 2 and Olivia almost 1. Kim lives in Florida and has 2 children, Garrett is 2 and Alex is almost 1. Lisi lives in New York City and travels the world. Angie lives in Silver Springs with her new son, James who is 4 weeks old. We still gather every year so our children can meet all of their 'aunts'. We have Univ. of Delaware cheerleading to thank for our amazing friendships!! We'll see you all at Homecoming! |

| Comments: Go Blue Hens!!! Seems like such a long time since I've
said those words. Lets see... after graduating in 1984 I became a stockbroker and worked on Wall Street and then an office in Northern New Jersey. I moved to California in 1987 because of a friend and former cheerleader Ron "Hoover" Hahn who went into the Marine Corps. and was stationed out here. I opened my own financial services consulting practice not long after arriving in California and have been self-employed ever since. I now live in the Palm Springs, California area with my wife of 9 years Tracey and our two boys Chris 7 years (3-3-93) and Eric 4 years (12-14-95). I still think about my cheerleading days at the U of D fondly and would welcome any communication with fellow alumnus. It was truly the best of times!!! |

| Comments: Hi there,
I wanted to say hello again, and also say that I have enjoyed a successful year here at Towson University.I coached the team through the school's first-ever performance in the UCA nationals. We did great and learned what will need to happen to become a competitive squad in Division I. Thank you to all of the UD parents, friends and the UD cheer team and staff for their support. Our team was excited to have so many of you cheering for us. The "rivalry" between TU and UD cheer is sure to be fun and friendly. Congratulations to the UD mascot, cheer and dance teams! You did great! Bill Everett |

| Comments: Since graduation in 1985 I've been all over the place.
Worked as a park ranger at the Grand Canyon and Everglades, 2 years in Germany in the Army, moved back to Maryland, then to State College PA, then to my current home of Santa Cruz, California. Been working as an instructional designer and programmer since 1989 for the same company -- now work from home and keep busy with this website in my spare time. Got my masters from Towson U in '95. I'm married (since '91) to Kirsten, have a boy named Aidan (6-29-96) who at age two knows to yell "Go Hens" when he sees the UD pennant in his room. Still hasn't figured out YoUDee's name though -- keeps calling him I-Dee! |

| Comments: It would be great to find out what our old team mates were
doing today. I am working as a Facilitator of Curriculum / Instruction for the Christina District in Newark, Delaware. I work with the "gifted" students, do staff development, etc. Also, do independent consulting for districts particulary in the field of instructional technology. I have season tickets to the UD football games and naturally sit in the section next to the band in front of the cheerleaders.Reminds me of all the fun we use to have during and after the games. I use to own private gymnastics clubs in North Carolina and Texas where I trained gymnasts for competition. Gave me an excuse to still do back handsprings and flips until my mid 30's! After my divorce I moved back to Delaware and settled into my oringinal profession education! |
