As I was putting together the stuff to give back to EMHS after the reunion, I found a few e-mail addresses of people who were not at the reunion and sent out last call, as it were. Most of the e-mails bounced back, but as you can see in the comments on the picture post below, one found Cotton Bryant.
Another reached Albuquerque, NM, and Christopher Taylor. He writes:
Wow, what a surprise. Opened the Monday morning calender and email and got this reminder of the years gone by. Sorry I missed the get together. Got me thinking about the past 10 years. Finished my neurosurgery training in 2001.
[My wife] Mary and I moved to Dallas. Spent 3 years there. She taught school. I did specialized work in cerebrovascular neurosurgery. Practiced for a year and a half in El Paso after that.
We moved to Albuquerque in January of 06. We like the mountains and constant sunshine. I think we have settled down for a while. I’m in the Neurosurgery Dept. of the University. I do surgery and see patients. Lecture at the Medical School once or twice a year. I have a technical book being published this year. I shoot skeet on weekends and mess around with the guitar. Mary and I like to hike the desert and go scuba diving.
Mary has a jewelry business. She’s online at www.mhershberger.com. She’s been at it a couple of years and has earned enough this year to send herself to Italy next summer. I got all of the Europe I need bumming around with Chris Thompson. I think Mary is actually going to be in Washington, D.C., and in Harrisonburg in a couple of weeks doing trunk shows.
We tried to have kids for a while and gradually kind of gave up. Neither of us really felt strongly enough to go the adoption route. Otherwise we have mostly avoided tragedy.
More as it I track them down, and I’ll get right on that class directory thing.
