Johnson, Christie L email: Christie.L.Johnson@Nextel.com What's up?: Hello to classmates from '85. Wondering if there are any reunions planned and where people are these days. After UW, I moved to DC. I get homesick for the mountains though, and make it back to the Seattle area to see family a couple of times a year. Here is my email address (at least for the next couple of months): christie.l.johnson@nextel.com. Where the heck is Jill Crook, Patti McNeil, Kathy Baukol, Kevin Copeland, Larry Pfeiffer, Lenny B(how the heck do I spell that?)????? and so many others of you I have wondered about over the years - hope you are well and if you get this send me an email.

Miller, (Russ) John email:jrmiller@orrick.com What's up?: Although I miss those carefree TJ days, life is nevertheless still quite enjoyable. Let's see...terms of youth... Man, I had to give up my cool leather jacket for a while, but, like, dude, I got one back on again now and am self-proclaimed cool again (only now I actually have it dry-cleaned once in a while, whew). Mid-life crises? I hope not, although I do drive a little sports car. The basics: I earned a BA in 1991 and a JD in 1995, each from UW, which defined, and continues to define, a large part of my life since 1985. I have lived in Seattle, Houston and now, for the last five years, Washington, DC (and, yes, I give night driving tours if anyone is out this way). Oh, and I spent five months living and working in Jakarta, Indonesia helping with the Asian bank bailout too. I have gone backpacking for six weeks in Mexico, six weeks in the Northern Cascades, and lesser amounts of time in Alaska (had to be rescued in 2000 by the Coast Guard after my boat sank), the Central Cascades (was airlifted out in 2001 due to forest fires), and in the Carolinas. I have no children, but am happily engaged to be married. I still keep in regular contact with a handful you fine folks and would like to reconnect with the rest of you. Overall, life is wonderful.
