Email: gracerecvd@yahoo.com Stacie (Gardner) Sisk Marital Status: Married to Hank Sisk since 11/04 Children: 3 Daughters ~ Alex, 13, Marissa, 7 and Haley, 6 Comments: I am looking forward to seeing everyone.  I hope the last 20 years have brought you all joy. I am hoping to reconnect and stay in touch. Life has a way of getting away from us. Pursuits in '87: I was on the Varsity Softball team and worked in a bakery.  My hope was to be married have children and be a stay at home mom. To this day I think I have only missed one season of softball and at times have played on 4 or 5 teams in one season.  I am a wife and mom but I also have a wonderful career.  I am the sales manager for Pacific Northwest Title of Lane County.  I have been in the title and escrow industry for about six years now.  I truly love my job!  I have also done many TV commercials and modeling events over the years as a hobby.  I did something I never thought I would do and that was run for Mrs. Oregon United States in 2002.  I made 1st Runner up. Life Now: Well between getting the girls off to all their sporting events and church activities, my husband and I coach 1st and 2nd graders soccer twice a year.  Hank and I also play softball together.  (That is how we met by the way.)  We work on our home in Cottage Grove and both work full time. Hank is TV producer.   One big thing we deal with every day is cancer. When Hank and started dating I knew he had cancer and had already beat the 6 months of life they had given him. It was during his healing time we fell in love. We married while Hank was doing his second cycle of chemotherapy. Through that next year his cancer stabilized. It wouldn’t go into remission but it had stopped growing. Things were looking up, then tragedy hit again. January 2006 I learned that I was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive breast cancer. After four surgeries in the month of March they finally removed all the cancer. I then underwent a six-month cycle of chemotherapy and then three months of daily radiation treatments. I have but, two hercepton chemo treatments left to do and I should be done by July 2007. This is a drug that I have had to do every three weeks for about one year. Only to begin a series of reconstruction surgeries this July. Hank has begun his third cycle of chemotherapy and won’t finish until around October. Needless to say we spent a lot of our time in doctors offices. We celebrate every day of our lives together.  Although so much heartache has come from each of us enduring cancer, there have been such great blessings. We trust that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. For better or for worse, we are so grateful to have each other. Email: staciesisk@yahoo.com Dave Garretson Marital Status: Married Children: 1 boy, 7 years old.  One stepson age 20.  Pursuits in '87: Swimming and any water sports back then.  My pursuits were still up in the air at that time.

Pursuits in '87: I was heavily involved in music, both at and outside of school. I don’t remember for sure what I wanted to pursue…something like a nanny overseas?? I had two cousins doing that – seeing the world all expenses paid with a salary. (It still sounds good!) Life Now: I love our little circus! I’m nearly always sleep-deprived and smelling of spit-up. Our girls are pure joy. Rob and I live on a small farm west of Eugene. We currently have two steers, two hogs, a mostly dead horse and a gray-muzzled Rottweiler (our first child). Since it’s produce season, the canner lives on the stove and we are busy, busy, busy (and did I mention tired?). I’m looking forward to being home this Fall. I have taken a leave of absence from my teaching job. I expect to return to 4j Fall of 2008. My job description at that point is “pot-luck.” I have done second and third grade, reading and was teaching kindergarten when I left. I’ll be finishing my reading endorsement before I return, so I may go back to “reading teacher.” I’d like to stay part-time for a few years, and that’s a good way to do it.

I look forward to the next reunion, that’s a date I will pencil in for sure. Pursuits in '87: Many of you knew my mom Lucy drove school bus and my dad Larry a mechanic at Red’s automotive.  Life was very, very simple in 87.  I played a few sports (Soccer and Volleyball) skated by in class and did most everything “the guys” did.  Family and life in Springfield was comfortably simple.  So simple, that I had no real ambitions at graduation.  But all that comfort changed the day Anthony (Rog) Rogers and I left for the Army. Life Now: In contrast to that simple life and lacking ambition…I look at what life still has to deliver emotionally, spiritually, financially and intellectually. Today I know what makes me happy, makes me proud, and makes me want to excel at everything I do and touch.  I have a family that trusts and believes in me and in everything I do. I am highly respected and trusted in my industry and recognized financially for the work I do.  Yes, life is no longer as simple or “Spingfield-comfortable” but this is my life in the today and now, and I wouldn’t trade it for the World.

Pursuits in '87:  Upon graduating 20 years ago I had no idea what I wanted to do or what I wanted to become.  I knew one thing….I wanted to be successful.  I used to think that success was measured by how many material things you owned or how much money you had in the bank.  I know today that it is not.  Success is knowing your purpose in life and growing to your maximum potential. Life Now:  I manage a large medical clinic in Santa Clara where I am challenged on a daily basis to juggle the needs of patients, staff and sometimes cranky physicians.  I love my job. Today I am a mother to two incredible boys and one future step son who are unique in their own way and bring joy to my life with each smile.  Zachary is in the 5th grade.  He loves video games and most of all his mother.  Quintin is in the 2nd grade and loves riding his bike with no hands, snakes and girls.  Quite the lady killer.  Both my boys attend Buena Vista Spanish Immersion School.  They spend their entire day learning in Spanish.  Makes homework quite challenging for me.  All I know how to do is ask for a margarita and a bathroom.  I met the love of my life TJ Drews in the line at the movie theaters at a time when I had just about given up.  His son, Drew is in the 2nd grade too.  He loves his father and anything Star Wars.  I am surrounded by men.  TJ has showed me more kindness, understanding than I have ever dreamt imaginable.  He has taught me a patience that I never knew I had.  Knowing him has made me a better person.  The combination of these elements is a perfect example of success that is immeasurable.

Pursuits in '87: I was interested in technology and knew that I wanted to do something in the computer software industry.  Life Now: I am happily married and just celebrated my 16th anniversary.  I have a successful career in the software industry and have managed to survive the many ups and downs of the effects of the economy on the industry.  I live in the Portland area and work for a banking software company.  I have been fortunate to be able to support my family and allow my wife to be a stay at home mom and raise our children. 3 years ago, our daughter was diagnosed with a very rare progressive genetic disorder.  We are very lucky that it was caught early and as a result she is able to lead a completely normal life.  Due to many circumstances surrounding the treatment, the rarity, and lack of overall knowledge in the medical field about this disorder, my wife and I have spent the last 3 years spearheading numerous efforts in the US regarding this disorder.  Some of these efforts include becoming board members of an organization in Illinois called the United Leukodystrophy Foundation(ULF), building a US based network of families and patients, and with the help of the ULF sponsoring meetings and bringing doctors to Illinois from around the world to talk about this disorder.  We also recently filmed an episode for a television show on the Discovery Health channel called Mystery Diagnosis about this disorder.  We have also garnered interest in a research program for newborn screening of this disorder and will help to drive this forward over the next several years working with researchers from OHSU.  All of this along with raising a family and working a full time job keeps me quite busy.
