Married and mother of 2! Brooke was born on July 4th, 2001 and my step-daughter (Alyssa) was born in July of 1987! Our family enjoys boating, fishing, BBQs, socializing and traveling (especially to Mexico!!). Kelly Cope March 24, 2001 It is the year of our Lord, 2001 (No HAL, that I know of). Those of you that I have not seen or spoken to in many years, I hope that you are healthy and happy. I am very well and have been married to my lovely wife Rene' for 10 years!! I have 2 lovely boys, Christian and Austin (8 and 3). I have been a Paramedic for 7 years as a career. I have just started my own company with 2 partners (and dear friends). My family wishes you, and yours, are safe and well. Stacey Dunn February 15, 2007 I graduated from MU with a degree in psychology and was pursuing a nursing degree when I married Tim Noland in 1997 on the beach in Maui. We moved around a lot, from Iowa to Kentucky, back to Missouri. We were married for 6 years when he passed away after a lengthy illness. I moved back to Columbia in 2003, bought a new house and am working with flexible spending accounts for ASI. It has been very hard to start completely over, especially at my age. I have run into a few people here and there, but am interested to know who else is still around. Clay Hedges August 11, 2006 I moved from Goodland, KS to Columbia, MO in 1986 when I was a freshman. There were more people in my sophomore class at Hickman than in the entire Goodland High School (9-12 grades). I tried out for basketball, but didn’t make the team, and found a place on the Cross-Country team. I began swimming as a junior and lead the Kewpies to consecutive Missouri State High School 2nd place team finishes, while earning All State Honors in the sprint freestyle events as a team captain my senior year. I graduated from Hickman in 1989, attended the University of Missouri-Columbia, and graduated with a B.S. in Fish & Wildlife Biology in 1994. At MU I was a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity, and a four year varsity letterman and team captain on the MU Swimming and Diving team. I completed an M.B.A. at Rockhurst University in 2003. In high school and college I spent six summers as a lifeguard, swim instructor, and coach for age group swimmers at the “old” Columbia Country Club and Southwest Swim Club. After MU graduation I went on to perform a variety of jobs. I was a Curatorial Director for the Mid-America Aquacenter Children’s Public Aquarium in St. Louis. I was employed as a National Marine Fisheries Observer in the Bering Sea, Alaska where I was trained and certified in US Coast Guard cold-water survival techniques and Marine Biology sampling. I built houses with Matt Darrough in Columbia, and worked at CC’s City Broiler briefly before moving to Kansas City to work for Enterprise Rent-a-car in 1997. In 1997 I left ERAC to work for the nation’s 2nd largest propane company, Ferrellgas. I reside in Liberty, MO
with my wife Lisa, daughters Kate (3) and Abby (1), child #3 (baby boy)
on the way, two golden retrievers (Bo and Penny), and some freshwater fish.
I enjoy outdoor activities, home improvement projects, strumming guitar
and listening to music, visiting zoos and aquariums, and spending time
with the family. I am employed as a Business Analyst in the IT Department
at Ferrellgas.
Jennifer Runowski January 26, 2002 Hi fellow Kewpies! After Graduation I attended SMSU (in Springfield). I met my husband of 8 yrs. We have 3 beautiful children, 2 boys ages 8 & 7; and a girl who will be 2 in April. I worked in the satellite industry for several years and quit to be a stay at home mom when our first was born. I returned to the workforce in 1998 working as a campaign manager for several different races. In 1999, I went to work for First USA Bank and am a manager in the Internet Department. My parents moved here in 1990 and still have their Mizzou basketball season tickets, so we get to Columbia a few times a year. We have 11 parakeets (anyone want one?) a cat and 2 black Labs. When not working I am still heavily involved in the Democratic Party most recently serving as Chair for my Legislative District. When the kids get older I plan on running for office. Diana Salazar-Lowe July 11, 2002 Hi everyone! I just visited Hickman a couple of weeks ago with my new husband, Ron, who is a high school science teacher. It has really grown since we were there. Ron and I were in Missouri so that he could meet all the relatives on my mom's side of the family (I'm happy to report that we are still married even after that experience!). We are currently living in Davis, California. I am still doing freelance translation work (Spanish and English) for microfinance organizations and we are hoping to start a family soon. Other than that, we are just trying to stay cool this summer and avoid those rolling blackouts! Hope you are all doing well. Donald Steiner March 16, 2009 After graduating Hickman, I worked at the University of Missouri - Columbia in the School of Medicine as an Audio/Visual Technician for 8.5 years. I also attended Columbia College as an evening student while working at UMC and part-time bartending. After graduating with an Associates in Computer Information Systems and a BS in Business Administration (Marketing, Management and CIS) I worked for my father - Steiner and Associates, a meeting planning business. I worked there for about 5 years and went to work at ACT - Alternative Community Training. I've been here for 5 years now. I am the Sales Coordinator and Production Training Specialist. I work with the disabled and just love my job (most of the time). Garrett Struessel October 24, 2005 Hi from Colorado, After graduating from Hickman I attended Luther College in Decorah Iowa and graduated in 1993 with a BA in Psychology. I moved then to Fort Collins Colorado for three years. I got married in 1995 to Stacey, whom I met at Luther, and then we moved to Berkeley California for four years. I went to a Lutheran Seminary for four years there and became a Lutheran (ELCA) pastor in September 2000. We bought a home near Denver now are loving life in Colorado! We now have two boys, Kenneth who is age 3 and Joseph who is a year and a half. We love to go to the mountains to hike, especially in summer and fall and are busy with the boys most of the rest of the time. Stacey and I just celebrated our tenth anniversary in June and are truly blessed. Hope all is well with you. DeAnn Vance - February 7, 2009 Hi fellow kewps! I only see a few of you and not very often even though I am still in Columbia. After HHS I attended and graduated from the Univ. of Mo. in Columbia with a BS in Human environmental sciences/emphasis in early childhood ed. Degree still resides in my closet in some box just waiting to be put to good use. Some say I am using it, since I currently run a homebased childcare program in my basement. I agreed to stay home with my 12yr. old nephew when he was 6mos. old and love getting paid to stay home (although I have had to add some other kids to make ends meet). Believe it or not my mother and I still live together along with my boyfriend of 5yrs.,Philip Mason from Georgia(we're taking it slow).... somehow this arrangement works for everyone. My 2 nephews and daycare children are the only human kids I have and I'm glad they go home every evening... although I'd love one of my own... My animal children include a blended family (mine and Philip's)including 2 dogs, 6 cats, 2 ferrets, and too many fish to count. One of my favorite hobbies is Hot Air Ballooning (no I don't own one). I do love helping to get those giant areostats in and out of the air safely and I have been up 13 times to date. Looking forward to seeing all of you at our 20th reunion.... WOW! how time does fly. Nicole Williams February 1, 2004 After graduating from Hickman, I attended Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri where I first received a B.S in Criminal Justice and then a year later received a M.A in Sociology with an emphasis in Criminal Justice. I then moved to Grandview, Missouri (Kansas City metro) and became a Probation & Parole Officer for the State of Missouri. I continue to work as P&P officer, which is now going on 10 years (too long!!). Anyway, I have a daughter, Alyssa that was born in 07/97 and is currently 6 years old. For 3 years it was Alyssa and I (or Thelma and Louise as I referred to ourselves). I had bought a home, and Alyssa began Montessori school in 2000, so that was definitely a transitional time for me. I also during the same year, met my husband, Daniel McGongial. We were married May 2003 (yeah, yeah it took me 3 years to be sure I wanted to give up my some of closet space). Daniel has 3 children that reside in St. Paul Minnesota, so we visit often there although we have no plans to move there. So between, working, cooking, Brownie meetings, tennis practices, birthday parties, hair appointments, and nail appointments, I stay pretty busy. There is this creative side to me that has ideas on writing a screenplay, so we'll have to see what happens. Oh in regard to my twin brother, Nicholas. I will say that he moved up here (he lives about 15 minutes away and yes HE followed ME here lol)and he is doing wonderfully. I'll make sure he signs on to fill everyone in on his happenings, but overall he is doing quite well. Well, e-mail me as I would love to hear from everyone!! |
