It is hard to believe that it has already been 20 years. There are many memories that still seem like yesterday.

I didn't really appreciate how fortunate we were at BHS that our class size was small enough that we knew everyone, faculty and students.

1989: Met Michelle (now my wife.) She was Gretchen Bonnema's roommate at Hamline University.
1991: I graduated with my B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the UofM, Twin Cities.
1992: I graduated with my M.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Cincinnati.
1992: Worked as a civilian researcher at Wright Patterson Air Force Base (Dayton, OH)
1992: Moved back to Minnesota
1993: Started working for Teradyne Inc as a software engineer.
1993: Moved into an apartment in New Brighton, MN.
1993: Married Michelle.
1994: Bought our first house in Woodbury, MN.
1996: Worked in L.A. for 6 months (still lived in Woodbury)
2000: Moved to Inver Grove Heights, MN
2002: Went trekking in the Norwegian Mountains
2005: Moved to Concord, MA (20 miles from Boston)
2006: Vacationed in Peru
2007: After 14 years, quit Teradyne Inc and started working at The MathWorks Inc.
2008: Vacationed in Paris
2008: Vacationed in Tanzania

I enjoyed science class with Mr. Klabecheck as he enjoyed pushing me to try harder. I learned a lot in his class.

Debate trips were fun. We were a small team and spent a lot of time riding together in the suburbans and socializing together at the overnight debate tournaments. Very few schools on the Range had debate teams, we were fortunate to be allowed to travel to N. & S. Dakota, Duluth, and the Twin Cities as much as we did.

While I would likely do it again, I missed out on my senior year. I attended graduation and the overnight party afterwards, but I feel like I didn't properly say 'bye' to my classmates.

Looking back at my yearbooks and the number of F/F signatures, I wish I had tried harder to stay in touch.
