1978 -1981 -Jeff Klig, Email: jak208@yahoo.com, I stumbled upon this surfing over coffee. Seems it hasn't been updated in about a year. Saw some old friends: that was fun. Special hey to Flea-roy and Fozzy $ Spike. Say hey to L.A. Keep bangin' on stuff. Site management http://www.surfsuppublishing.com/  looks suspicious. Me paranoid? It's once then again. Anyway just testing. We'll see....... Just fishing.
1979 - 1981 - Brooke Williams, Email: btwrockstex@yahoo.com, I attended the Stowe School from 79-81. Most of my classmates knew me by my nickname that Gary Ide tagged me with (Booker T.) If you would like to contact me about old times or new times, email me or to see current pics of me and my smizzmar and what we do go to www.myspace.com/btwrockstex,  Thanks Y'all, btw
1979 - 1981 - Matt Sargent, Email: pastimes@madriver.com , Hey you cool cats....those were the days, eh? I still look back on the Stowe School days with very fond memories. I graduated in 1981 leaving the school with a woman named Tana Acton who some of you may remember was a junior dance/art teacher at SS. I know, I know, teacher/student relationships are taboo, but, you know what? We stayed together for almost 8 years after I graduated. I guess at the time we were meant to be. Anyway, after many years of traveling and living all over the country I've found myself living right back here in beautiful VT. I'm in Warren about 30 miles south of Stowe. In fact I remember coming down here to the Mad River Valley in the SS days to white water canoe. Loved it then, love it even more now. I live here with my beautiful wife Nancy and my two girls Cassidy (12) and Jessa (11). We've got 30 acres, a beautiful house (which I built), and a very strong tie to our community. We actually hosted a reunion in 2001, (kind of surprised nobody mentioned it on the site so far) and were able to reacquaint ourselves with some old school chums. It was a trip and it was definitely a good time. I now own my own design/build company specializing in post and beam construction. Most of the building I do is speculative. Build it first sell it later is my new motto. I encourage any of you old timers to give me a shout so we can reminisce about the old days. Maybe tip one back and tell a few tall tales....after all we're full of those, aren't we?

1981 - Brian Davis, E-Mail: stickks@comcast.net , I attended Stowe School fall semester in 1981. I ended up going back home as I missed all of my friends.

He is the most beautiful little man in the world, and I'm so happy! Also, I've had my own catering business for quite a while too, so those are both new items since I last checked in on the Stowe School website. There is a link below to my website, if any one wants to see what I look like these days. I'm not looking for business through the Stowe school, though....

1983-1985 - David Jacoby, Email: davidnjacoby@gmail.com , Hey all - I see some familiar and cherished names from the past up in here. I've been living off and on in Boulder, CO for close to 20 years - although I've been lucky enough to live abroad on a couple of occasions. "Dabbled" in college for a bit after Stowe, then moved out here, played music "professionally" for about 5 years in a kind of "not quite ready for the Horde Tour" band called Water. Ended up actually earning a college degree by age 31, then went to grad school for French Literature but switched gears again about 4 years ago and now I'm working as a marketing consultant in the Internets, which unfortunately I heard is just a fad. I've kept in touch with Spencer Nicolary and Art Hawkins, and some new old faces are starting to turn up on Facebook, which you should all get your butts over to right away! So many fond memories of the Stowe School days... it's hard to believe it was really that long ago. Anyway - FACEBOOK! We'll be waiting for you...
Thanks again for this cool site. I miss that place...
1983-1985 - David K Wilson, Email: dkwilson@ti.com Hi, Love the site. I am glad to see that others also miss the place. I spent 4 years in the Army after Stowe. Rebelling against freedom I guess. I got married in the Army. I went to college on the GI Bill and got my degree in Electrical Engineering. Got a job at Texas Instruments working on chips for cell phones. I live in Dallas, and spent 13 years building an airplane in my garage. It is finally flying and my wife and I starting to fly around the country. I flew over Stowe last summer but didn’t have time to stop.  If you see a small airplane flying over low-and-slow… it ain’t us ‘cause my plane is quite fast (http://www.eaa1246.org/big_photo.asp?id=Wilsonx1%2Ejpg) … I am seriously thinking about flying it around the earth. Enjoying life but I do miss playing guitar in the Dome and going to keg parties on snowshoes…Thanks a bunch, Dave

1983 - 1985 - Tammy Richards ->(GayLynn Thornton)  Email:  BlkBrdSing@aol.com  Hey All, Id like to clear something up first. Ever since leaving Stowe School, I've been using the name I was given at birth. And since I've been married I even have a different last name....sorry if anyone has ever tried to contact me and could not find me. My name is GayLynn Thornton. Anyway, since leaving Stowe I started pretty much right away working in Human Services in Mass. I moved back up to Vt. in 93 to run a residential treatment program for children which I did for about 8 years. During that time I had my own child, a beautiful boy named Ryder. He is 6 years old now and I am expecting my second child any day now. In Sept. I will be celebrating 16 years of marriage to a wonderful man who also works with children and families. Currently I am teaching "CRASH". ( a driver safety program for those who have lost their license for drunk driving. And I also offer parent education and monitoring for court mandated supervised family visitation. But besides my kids... My passion is touring Vermont on my motorcycle looking for all the best rivers and swimming holes. While I ride I frequently offer thanks and praises for the Stowe School giving me a deep appreciation for this beautiful North Country! Update 9/07: I love to talk about my old school days and hear about others...I had a little baby girl the weekend of the reunion in Stowe in 2005... since then we have decided to move to Essex Vt. The schools are a bit better here than in Burlington......I don't think I will ever move from Vermont...I knew the first day I visited Stowe school that my heart is here and that I would raise my family here. Good for you for moving back...I hope you and you're wife are loving it! Thanks again for all your work on the web site! Its just wonderful! be well!

? - 1986 - Scott MacLean,  Email: smaclean@waukeganparks.org  After Stowe School I attended the University of New York at Brockport, graduating with a BS in Recreation and Leisure Studies. I currently live on the far North Shore of Chicago, working as the Manager of Parks and Maintenance Operations for the Waukegan Park District. I am married and have two boys, one 14 (Codie), and the other 7 (Colin). We, Andrea and I, live in Wadsworth, IL, a country setting on the IL. and WI. border. I am an avid home brewer of what I believe to be the best beer to cross human lips. I'm still an active skier and hiker, and spend at least two weeks in the Adirondacks at my families summer home on Schroon Lake, NY each year. It has been my goal to instill the values and wonders of the outdoors to my boys; something I retained from the school . We have been boaters on Lake Michigan, and skiers in Wisconsin; regardless you have to spend time with your kids outside. I also collect British and German sports cars. It's a sick habit, but more interactive than a video game. Still listen to the Dead; saw Phil in Chicago this past fall.
(I have a 1977 year book from the school that I would mail if anyone is interested. I'm not sure how or why I have it, but I do)
