Hello All

Hello all,

Wow, it's been a long time!

I have been married for 14 1/2 years, I have two children. My husband Rich is an active duty Air Force member. We live in California on Edwards AFB. I have been thinking about coming to the 20th reunion. I had no way of getting in contact with anyone, but now I see that I do. I am a preschool teacher and have been for almost 9 years now.

I am attaching some photos of my family. My daughter Brooke is 11 and my son Brendan is 5.

Always,

Janice Marquez Idle

HOMECOMING
Slidell gave a beating to Hammond with a 42-6 win!

A big THANKS to Eric Abney and his wife, Sue, for graciously opening up their home for our pre game Tailgate Party!
We had a great turnout. The general consensus was that everyone had a BLAST! Look for a BLOWOUT crowd at our 20 year Reunion!

Looking To Catch Up with Old Friends

Hi Everyone,

I am very excited that I found this site!
My husband Jason Russell and I have lived in Norfolk, Virginia for about 6 years now and resided in Colorado for about 7 years prior to that.

I have been married for 7 years now but was with my husband for a long 8 ½ years before we got married. He is the love of my life still and we have two beautiful dogs. Bill is a 14 year old lab a Tido is a 9 year lab/boxer.
I am a boring bookkeeper and my husband is a video-producer/editor for NASA. I really did not get to keep in touch with anyone, so would love to hear from some old friends if possible. I know I failed PE IV so had to go to summer school and graduated in the summer but still think after all the good times I am still a part of class of 1987. I would love to go to the 20 year reunion! Well hope everyone is doing well after Katrina!! My family is alive and that is all that matters.

Take care,
Shannon Minacapelli Russell

An Angel From Heaven

Thanks to Liz Woolridge McCurley and Eric Abney, I have finaly got a call about the reunion. I have been so excited about this reunion because I didn't get a chance to go to the ten year reunion. I was on a trip to Disney world during the last one.

Well alot has happened in the 20 years since we graduated. In 1988 I was diagnosed with a non-cureable eye disease called Retinitis Pigmentosa. The Dr's told me that I would be completely blind within ten years. By the grace of God, that hasn't happened. This disease has taken my peripheral vision to less than 5%. They considered me legally Blind back in June 2002. By the support of my family and close friends I have kept my spirit up. It hasn't hindered me in doing things that I want to do. (i.e. Coaching baseball, throwing with my 2 boys or any other activities). The one thing I do miss most is driving. I haven't driven since they considered me legally blind. That brings me to my AWESOME wife and kids. I have been married to an ANGEL from heaven for almost 14 years. We met in church at a youth group meeting. Her name is Wendy Farrell (Class of 1990). She has had a big impact on me and my kids. I call her my Taxi or my designated driver. LOL We have 2 awesome boys. Tyler is 12 years old and he attends Clearwood Junior High. Dillon is 7 years old and he goes to Bonne Ecole. They both are playing baseball at SBBA. I have coached my oldest sons team for 2 years now. Both kids played in the USSSA World series this year. I am a Proud DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since we graduated, I have worked @ Disney World (1988), medical field in various positions with Slidell Memorial and now I been working at Pavestone for the past 3 years. I work as a Transportation Manager. My territory is all the Southeast United States. We also, had the privilege of donating our products on Extreme Home Makeover in Braithwaite. My wife, Kids and I had the oppurtunity to go and work at the site. Awesome experience.

I look forward to seeing everyone in October.
God Bless,
Andrew Burrell
